New pot for my oak.

Chunky sumo oak is going to be repotted this year, here are my choices.
Im leaning towards the first picture.
And yes, I want it in a pot and not in the ground.

I prefer the third personally if only because the pattern of the blue glaze leads my eyes to take more note of the texture of the bark.

Yeah I like that one as well. The bark is great.
I carved it and repotted 2 years ago.

I like that second pot because it has a nice rugged appearance complimenting the bark. And in my second place would be the first pot which would bring out the mint bluish tones of the leaves.

If you don’t use that second pot, the rugged one shown in the attached, I’d like to talk to you about it and my oak that’s similar to yours.

I am a fan of #2 for your oak, it has a feel of the tree in its build, but still graceful in its walls.

it’s a very nice pot. I like the rough texture I think it compliments the rough bark well. Plus I love the black makes the grey pop even more.

This my third year with it. I pinched last year and defoliated once. Not too sure I saw a reduction in leaf size yet.
Honestly this tree should probably be grown as a much bigger bonsai. But oh well, I like it. Got it for $5 from an old nursery.

I need to learn more about defoliating an oak. Time for some research……
