So, drew inspiration off of Adam Lavigne's blog on the stand he did. (I realize it's to large for pot. Husband tossed it together without my knowledge.) And decided I needed to toss an accent pot together. So roughly just done.
Ginkgo pot commissioned Erin Pottery pot
Accent pot commissioned Sonny Boggs pot. Random plants in the flower beds.

Love the exposed roots. I'm a sucker for that sort of thing. Thanks for the compliment of the stand. So both ways...Thats a really nice display. Rustic without being contrived. The stand is really good, one of the best of its type I've seen. It's not too big for the pot / tree at all, looks well proportioned to me. I'd think about trying the accent on the right hand side of the display - to me the shape of the tree and the yellow splash on the pot imply movement in that direction.
I wasn't going to post this pic, but I guess I need one after replying to this: exposed root Scots pine in a new pot, part way through being redeveloped.

i was at a nursery the other day and i was advised to get those roots covered up!
but when you watch some of the mirai streams, Ryan is usually advocating to uncover your nebari, why hide it....leave it out n let it weather n characterize
Brian...I'm sure this is a large tree...mind sharing how tall...and the depth of the pot? Still on a look out for a better pot for my Neagari...and trying to grasp a healthy depth. I know what Scott suggested...but sometimes I think many use shallower pots.Kinsai Satsuki a few weeks away from blooming...

@Cadillactaste it is 22” tall from the soil line. Pot is 9x3.5”. Azaleas prefer deeper pots.Brian...I'm sure this is a large tree...mind sharing how tall...and the depth of the pot?
