Would you ever put a maple in an unglazed pot? or a conifer in a glazed pot? why/why not?
Thanks, I so obviously needed that.If you would like to get an outline of the guidelines for pots to use with bonsai, I will share what I have translated from the Gaddou Kyouhon. Gaddou is a Japanese style of formal bonsai display. You can PM to me and then I will share my email, or you can go to my website directly and ask for it on the email or contact form page there. www.customjapanesecalligraphy.com
Rules... oh boy... here we go again!
In general, people do it this way. Some formal display rules may indicate a conifer "has to" be in an unglazed pot... but they are your trees, do whatever you feel looks good. Believe me, people will agree and disagree regardless!
If I were to enter a tree into a contest with such a rule, I would gladly abide.That is why I said PM me. If he wants the translation I will provide it to him. If this was just some click bait, then he won't. Personally, I don't care what people do...but I know what my eye prefers to look at and maybe there are reasons for that....
I think the rule is less important for deciduous. It seems conifers are the ones people get all in a huff about... I see deciduous and flowering trees in either commonly.View attachment 123740 View attachment 123741
Here are 2 that I saw at the arboretum this year...deciduous in unglazed...
Does it break the rules if it's a forest?
Hey, no offense intended man! I was referring to the rules thread and the downward spiral it took...That is why I said PM me. If he wants the translation I will provide it to him. If this was just some click bait, then he won't. Personally, I don't care what people do...but I know what my eye prefers to look at and maybe there are reasons for that....
I'd put a colorful shohin azalea in it.what about this glazed oval pot?
