AusBonsai

Here are my efforts to add to the mix.
All oval, stoneware, and range from 280-290mm wide and 55-60mm deep...outside measurements.

G,day Pat I think the Redgum ash is the one! but may be the Colonial ooh! even the Limestone
I know all three then I can try each one then send back the ones I dont want.
It is not fair to put so much pressure on my old brain
Thank you Pat I have PMd you.

So that's what Colonial looks like

Lovely pots Pat.

Hi Pup

One of your favourite trees? It's now one of mine too? Just lovely. Well done.

To my eye you've got a beautiful balance between the oriental and the Aussie...enough formality and flair to add some excitement to the foliage, with enough looseness to represent the Australian character. And what a beautiful trunk!

I agree with your thoughts on a pot. Should look 110% in its next pot.

I don't often like the name changes, but I must say Babingtonia is pretty impressive as a name. We have Baeckeas in Tasmania still (but not your species).

Cheers, Tanglefoot

as always, pat's pots are my favorite

so i've repotted your tree a couple of times for you...
i hope this helps

Thank you Aaron I will take the redgum ash thank you Pat. I must admit it looks good in all of them
Then a good tree always looks good EH!! in any Pat Kennedy pot

Thank you for the nice comments footstangle. Oh s#*t done it again tripped over my tongue.
A bit like the limericks that my ancestors invented Pup

Hey thanks Aarron for doing this so well. I have never noticed really that the colour of the pot can so affect the Visual "Weight" of the composition.

Comparing these 3, the darker one looks much heavier in the base that the 2 lighter ones. To me they appear too top heavy an would need the bulk removed to "Balance the composition" a little better.

Ps I really do like the last one best for colour match tho. Toss up between that one and Vics Second offering

Ken

Hello, absolute beginner here (1st post actually) but i agree with Ken, i like the colour of the third Pat pot and the second from Vic. I just think that maybe Pats is too big. Its almost as length is almost equal to the width and height of the tree. Vics looks better because it is a little shorter. To my eye anyway.

Great pots Pat. I really like the finish on the dark one.
Penny.

Thanks Aaron, you're a clever man....I must learn to do that!

I've sent a pm, Pup;

and Jarrod, do you still want 'colonial'?

Pat

very much so, can't believe how close it is to what i saw in my head.

Thanks

Geat pots Pat I like the combinationof the tree and the limestone.
How about a tutorial on how to do the cut and paste thing. Arron?

There is a coment early on in this post that says that natives don't do well in glazed pots what that all about I have several natives in glazed pots and do not haveany problem and when they flower they look beautiful.

Just a couple of Melaleucas in glazed pots. On purchased and the second hand made.

Sorry its the other way around. I made the first one.
