What shaped pot should I be looking for?

[Cadillactaste]

When this is my inspiration @sorce . Your virtual doesn't come near it. Planning to grow the top apex high and develop a dramatic flame shape like this one here. ? I do have a direction with the way I am headed. ?But thanks for something to chew over. Just...have had this goal for sometime now.

I like your blue pot you posted for this tree, if you don't go round. Blue is a very good color for Gingko, as the fall colors really set it off well.

Thanks Judy...contacted site to ensure its insured prior to purchase. If so, then will proceed with purchase. Just to not limit to all unglazed in the few I pick up. But...unglazed does appeal to me.

I thought a nice soft matte blue pot would be cool...right now with the lush green color and especially in autumn with leaf color. It provides a brightness to the whole composition. The pot is not quite that bright...but close...very mellow matte glaze. I used my blue pot as example with your tree.

Thanks for the virtual. I am not that good...I did a sad photos in notes thing. The blue pot I am considering...since blue is a chosen color with ginkgo. As you and others have said.

Really nice soft formal presentation...impressive. Excellent combination...you have a good eye for the colors. Exciting in autumn.

Thanks...it will be a contender. I do like the shade of blue. Not in your face...bold. Which is why the unglazed appeals to me.

Here is a suggestion! This is a Sarah Rayner pot 11 inch round 4 inch deep. Just an idea.

Just playing around for a minute.....
I wouldn’t make those orange mark cuts...I’d leave it as is for awhile.

Orange lines? What orange lines?

As you might guess, I like this pairing. And in autumn it will really shine.

Beautiful pot Frank...I am looking for no smaller than a 12"... I am going to add pots from 12-15". For development of branching to continue. (Per Scott Lee's suggestion. The man I purchased this tree from.) But I do admire a Sarah Rayner any day! That is simply stunningly!

Thanks...yeah, nothing to worry about on those orange cut marks suggested. No intention of doing that. But thanks for saying so. Also thanks for the virt. Much better than mine for sure.

Wowser! What photo editing system do you use!?! You definitely made the tree look fitting in the pot. Might I use this photo when showing off my tree in years to come?

I was in the same boat as you, Darlene, when I was repotting mine. Although the main pursuit was health and vigor, I still wanted something that looked decent on the bench. The pot it came In was too small and full of roots so i thought it would be in the trees best interest to find something larger. So I found this big ol’ purple production pot at a local nursery and went for it. Not the best match but looks well enough IMO! Purple and yellow together? We’ll see.

Picture from spring. Really want to cut it back now.

@JoeR I see a burgundy pot...So a deep red. Which would look STUNNING with yellow! I actually prefer it than the blue I think. But my benches are burgundy.

Of course! Just a little late night Photoshopping silliness. All ready for Kokufu Ten!

Yeah it’s like a purple-ish burgundy, little more purple in person. Not bad I thought! Just a $20 pot I found at a place half an hour from here. It’s dimensions were about right.

I wonder if blue is a little overused, but what other color could you do?

Silver grey, Dark Unglazed, Deep red almost brown, or even Cream white...

I think your fall color will be stunning in it. I especially love it's not an over done color.

I think that is why I am gun shy on the blue. I have the pot in my shopping cart. But...hesitate when I go to purchase it. I really like the unglazed almost red tint pots with ginkgo. My favs to be honest. But for a blue pot...IF...I choose blue. Then it would work. Still searching for a color option...other than blue. But have not seen one in Google image that knocks me over.

Dark Unglazed, almost a deep red brown is what I am drawn to. Not found the right size yet. But...it's the one that I am so smitten with when looking into images as Adair stated to do.
