Anyone have a suggestion on akadama size?

I think the pot looks perfect, just a tad small for the roots.

Lack of confidence is not the issue. I still do the root work but I feel that a Slightly larger pot helps the roots get started again. If you look closely at the picture, the tree is rising like its day light savings time. I also think this tree needs a slightly larger pot regardless. The seller...

Sorry about that..I did it ages ago and must have forgot to hit Save. I live in Chicago. I still think it needs a little larger pot as the roots radiate and almost touch the edges and the tree seems to be lifting it self out of the pot. According to the seller the tree has been in that pot over...

Now thinking 1 part akadama, 1 part coarse river sand, 1 part yellow hyuga, and maybe a part lava rock?

Also looking for a soil suggestion...was thinking 2 parts akadama med sized 1parts large river sand 1 part yellow hyuga and 1 part large hyuga for the very bottom for drainage....

Well it needa a repot. From what I understand this tree has been in this pot for a few years...I may just reuse this pot depending how root bound it has become. If the roots are super bound instead of cutting them back super hard I pot up ever so slightly or just a bit deeper. I hate stressing...

The attached picture is the back of the tree.

Thats like salt in a open wound...and not like some papercut...more like a shark bite.

Thanks brian.

Thia was my favorite tree i tried to buy it sometime back and id love to track it down. Ive been talking with jim, his stuff top notch.

I've been trying to buy a tree...people have offered me things but this tree was my favorite. Id love to find who has this tree now...

Still looking.. been offered some very nice trees. Rather like the arlas cedars but i know they can be pricey. Would love a white pine.

Interested in an arakawa maple...

I felt* sorry for the mistype. I feel like many trees are overpriced though.

I checked out some of the nurserys listed....some of them had nice stuff but u felt some was priced super high for what it was.

Thank you for the insight. I appreciate it. What treewould you lean towards ?

Been offered this....suggestions?

When I say foul play that includes my neighbor spraying something on their lawn and it blowing on my tree. The tree was doing just fine. I use distilled water. It was a Larch and I kept it kool and out of direct sunlight as much as possible. One morning I went out and the leaves were jet black...
