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.

when im at the gym on the treadmill, my eye gets drawn to this oak tree....
one of the trunks isnt as vigorous as the other, it reminds me of this hornbeam i have, in training, i love this wild, rugged look...i could see one of the tops slightly jinned, foliage staggered n erratic like a bad hair day?

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.

Love the exposed roots. I'm a sucker for that sort of thing. Thanks for the compliment of the stand. So both ways...
The left side of the stand...

dug this over 10 years ago, took it to a club function where a "notable west coast master" cut the hell out of it. I've been nursing it back to shape ever since. Hope you like it.

I just traded into this tree today locally. It's an Oak forest that was grown from acorns that were literally picked up off the ground on the New Mexico/Arizona border. Started in 1992. Got some work to do on it but I do love the tree! My apologies for the not so good pics, this tree is very hard to photograph.

acer katsura in training. this was a late re pot, but its off n running now because a lot of the nursery rootball was retained in this pot
i should probably get a little more moss on the surface roots.
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, sooooo?
never the less this tree is in the early stages so the extra mossing would encourage more roots forming in between...

nice tree Bobby! I would also recommend covering up the roots, to promote the generation of new roots to emerge among those that you have visible right now. Eventually, you may want to prune your current roots back. In order to do so, you will want a fibrous root system tight to your trunk. if your roots are exposed, you are guaranteed that new roots will not emerge between or from them.
I would raise the soil level, and put some sphagnum moss around the trunk to promote new root generation

Parson's juniper. Bare rooted last summer, pruned and wired last fall. Now growing out so I can cut back and tighten up the foliage.

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.

@Cadillactaste it is 22” tall from the soil line. Pot is 9x3.5”. Azaleas prefer deeper pots.
