Hey Smoke,In 2017, the tree is finally ready for a show pot. I purchased this Japanese bag pot from Kora Dalager for this tree. In the photo's above one can see the large root on the lower left. I removed that large root because it was preventing me from getting the front orientation correct in the oval pot. It was never going to be in a good position even for a rectangle pot so it had to go.
The pro's, The removal of the root allowed me to get it into the pot.
The removal of the root allowed me to lift the tree in the pot for more trunk flare.
The con's, the removal of the root took away a substantial portion of the flare on that side.
The tree seems oddly shaped with that flare missing. Blunt!
