Beech pot color

[August44]

I have a European Beech. Nice tree but not what I would call big. Probably not ready for a bonsai pots by most standards here, but I want it in a bonsai pot. What color of pot should I be looking at with this tree? Help appreciated

Could you post a picture of it? It would help us visualizing it better.

Shape is equally important to color, perhaps more so. All this depends on the actual tree going into the pot. Pic would help. In general, ovalish glazed pots work with beech, cream, green, grey (ish), brown, an unglazed oval can work as well, sometimes, depending on the character of the tree.

I like a lightish blue glaze or cream with Eu Beech, the blue can be really nice with the copper fall/winter color.

I prefer a medium soft blue glazed pot. To me….the medium soft blue color brings out a blue tint that is naturally in the Beech leaves. The tint is not always noticed unless it sits with something blue. And, bonus in my view, the Beech looks stunning in winter months as the leaves change to yellow and then hang on as a brown. I attached medium soft blue colors I prefer for Beech….
