Masterpiece
Here is currently my only ponderosa.
This was a tree that appeared supremely collectible but turned out a bit less so. Easy to crack open the root pocket but only large long deep roots, few feeders. If I had X-ray vision would have left it behind but I had reached the point of no return and happily here it is on year 2 looking fine and healthy.
The obvious style is sumo pondy provided roots can be grown at the base there. My hopefull plan though is a kind of long exposed root slanting semi cascade kind of a thing. Planning on cutting out the bottom of the lower pot next year and letting the roots run into another wider pot at the bottom.
