Many may recall this tree on my post on the Ponderosa thread.

Or seen slight mention of it with the pot thread...

Well, my tree arrived on Wednesday. Was waiting for the pot to post all together. I don't see it going in to this pot next year. I see the roots needing reduced over time to keep it heathy. Health trumps pot every day!
Lubos Skoda pot... 9 inches x "almost" 7 inches by 2 deep. (Tried my best for @sorce to get the feet so they were even. )
Held up next to the tree...
Other angles of the tree...
The front Teddi/New England Bonsai chose for this tree which offers a lovely shape for the canopy.
The front I sort of like by the way the lay of the top of what looks like a connected one root tree.
Which from eye level...offers up a decent view of the structure from the back bench.
The back side of the tree has amazing movement of that connecting root.
Almost so...that I pondered it as a front, but would need to sit lower on a bench.
The photo from New England Bonsai's website offering it for sale that...had me intrigued. So a naked shot of the structure.
At this time...nothing major is coming off the root system. There is NO rock inside. I discussed with Teddi a plan at repot next year. She said...there is a lot of weight going on up there. So take it slow...if I removed all the center...it may collapse. Which I don't want. I will never air layer this. (Let's be honest) I think it's a unique piece that stands out from the next maple clump/grove or what ever one wishes to call it. It intrigued me...
