Thank you for such a thoughtful detailed explanation. I agree 100% that it needs a transition pot, from the 2 gal nursery pot. I do love unglazed ceramics, but I have a lot to learn about the dynamics between trees and pots.@Wilson , Youngbear's (whose name wouldn't link for me) advice is spot on concerning matching style of pot for style of tree. And your tree has a nice, feminine feeling, but the species is not too feminine. I think it would pair well with a rounded rectangle with a dark glaze, or unglazed. The dark glaze would give it a feeling of being grounded, which should compliment the open airy feel of the tree.
From a horticultural standpoint, I would think you would want a to put your plant in a transition contain for a year or two. The pot it is in now is fairly narrow and deep, and elm roots tend to be on the thicker and stiffer side. I would look for something a little deeper than 1/3 the current depth and 2-3 inches wider on each side. Then in another couple of years, you can look for something 2/3 to 1/2 as deep as that container and a couple more inches wider.
Thanks Lance! I know the reduction this year will be an adventure, definitely a two step situation. I am trying to keep up with managing this trees vigor, I don't have any other big deciduous.View attachment 175663

Something like these may work after a pretty ruthless root reduction.....but I'd probably play a cool hand on this one as @Stan Kengai mentioned. How long in the trainer? Could be a mess in there. I'd try to fix as much as I could at the next repot and use something a bit deeper than showpot depth. These two probably ain't even two inches deep!!
Like this tree, silky moves! One/two branches in the crown gettin' a little chunky, though.
Gonna' be a nice one, good find/growing!!
Trannies! Penis pipes! What is going on here?! Thanks for the breakdown Sorce, I agree that a nice wide pot is fitting.This is a tranny tree for me....
Masc and Fem.
Penis and Vagina.
Id like to see it in a rounded corner rectangle, or a strong Oval. Ahem.....
With this canopy....I'd like to see it in a WIDE ass pot, to have some negative space at one side.
Or, tighten in the canopy and save $100 dollars on a pot!
But I like her WIDE!

Thanks Judy! That means a lot coming from you, I have always adored your deciduous trees! I will look up the namako glaze.This is a very nice tree, I love the feel it has. So graceful and airy, and the branching is very good. I would go shallow as you can with this as you transition it. I would try a namako type glaze, they are dark enough to ground a tree, but have wonderful visual interest as well.
Well thank you right back!Thanks Judy! That means a lot coming from you, I have always adored your deciduous trees! I will look up the namako glaze.
