I think this one would be too big. I was thinking of downsizing since I chopped off quite a bit of its foliage.

Its a little too big, don't necessarily mind the pot and actually liked it quite a bit when it was super overgrown now just feels bulky if you see it in person. Also, our teacher Vance Hanna (@vancehanna) suggested a square style pot and Jennifer Price the judge at our last show said the current pot was too large to be a good final pot and also leaned towards a square so that got into my head....I'm sure if that doesn't look nice then I may have a round one made by someone?What is wrong with the current pot? Juniper generally considered feminine unless having unusually aged and gnarly trunk making more masculine. Hard edged pots considered masculine and less than ideal. Current pot is curvacious(feminine)bodied, about right sized and simple. A nice Cascade pot not detracting from tree itself but acting as supporting base instead of stealing the show

Nice.
I near thought this would be too small.
I got 2 others might work for that.....
The round pot looks better in the before pic.
I think something that was exposed makes it look akward, perhaps the cascading branch being a bit too parallel to pot lip, or that Jin....
That Jin....
It would be nice to match that angle with the side wall of the pot. \
Can you measure the angle?

Looking at this ......
I think this red branch should be brought up.
And that trunkline of the yellow could be exposed, to make that purple section appear more connected. It seem misplaced now, uneasy.
I think these things will help it look better in that pot.

That red branch, and the other there, dropped to the same angle as the Jin, looks like they also should be dead. I think that adds to the uneasyness.
Also, they are so far Left, they add to the "weight" hanging off the pot left.
Where they should be balancing the left, being placed farther right and up..ish.
All this stuff, seems to be making the round pot not work.

Give thanks for the ignorant, tasteless, tyro philistines like me who would treasure the existing composition.

I'm glad you like it. My son spent hours on it even after we roughed it out with Vance Hanna. I daresay that the after image does not reflect a lot of minor changes he made. I'll try to get a new pic and post.Give thanks for the ignorant, tasteless, tyro philistines like me who would treasure the existing composition.

HANNA worked on it. Did Barbera help him?
These are Hanna/Barbera trees.
I'm really starting to worry now.

Hey if it looks nicer, I'll take credit because I'm more the design person. If it looks worse blame it on my son, he's the one that does most of the wiring anymore...If you guys fucked it up, I will withdraw my compliment.

Ok got two pots and had to repot. Wanted to do something today! Anyway tried it on both pots after removing from the round pot. The Ron Lang pot (actually his wife made it) is not as grey and metallic as it looks in the pics. It's actually pretty cool and has this neat texture. These are trial images.

I went to check for that one to see about the dimensions, before I did this one.
Something about the wideness of the other 2 seem more fitting still.
How does the new combo feel in person?
I think thinning out the tree (not now of course) to equal what the container can "carry", can really make this right.
This, just like that maple, guilty pleasure, cuz I wanted to see the combo, but unfortunately, they are one hair off.
Fortunately, you can edit your tree to shine with this pot. Where the maple surely needs a new pot.
Dope.
Oh...the tree already does look better too.
Don't want to sound like I'm griping, I am trying to stay on the top of this list

I really do like this, and thanks for giving me something to do!
