I styled this sabina juniper this week, and am now struggling to figure out what shape pot would best fit the tree. In my opinion, the thickness and deadwood at the base are characteristic of a "masculine" tree but as we move up the trunk, it becomes slender and curvy, suggesting "feminine" characteristics. As of now, I am leaning towards a rectangular pot with soft, rounded corners, but I haven't completely dismissed the option of maybe a mokko or even just an oval pot. What do you all think would be the best pot shape for this tree? a pot that emphasizes the masculine portion of the tree? or the latter? or something else entirely? I am open to as much feedback as you can give me. Thanks in advance!

I photoshopped these pots for inspiration from Ryan Neil's trees from the Bonsai Mirai gallery.
