In general, are there any rules to follow for using a square pot? I have a masculine trident maple whose current front is about 45 degrees from what I see as the best front. However, there is no way to rotate the tree in a rectangular pot without overpotting a lot, because the nebari runs to the edge of the root mass and I'd have to remove a lot of surface roots. So my options are a round pot (tree doesn't look good all around so don't really think this is the way to go) or a square pot. Image for reference.
