To much you think 
I have watched its progress from my first comment on this tree and the timing was great. Have some more adulation.

Fantastic!
I ask lots of questions that sound like suggestions. Please remember I am a inquisitive newbie trying to figure out why You made a particular decision, in order to learn.

Hi Grant,Grant Bowie wrote:Hi all,
I am off on a short break and getting some stuff done around the house and on my bonsai. I have got a fair few trees repotted that haven't been done for years as well as a few that have.
I decided to try this elm in a deeper pot and am pleased with the outcome.

I'm interested to know why you decided on the shallow pot again. The shallow pot to me makes the tree sit up higher which might only make it harder to water.
I like the tree in both pots. Nice to have a selection of pots to try.

Re: Old Corky bark elm
The old new pot was too shiny for an old tree; the more muted colour suits it well.maple wrote:Hi Grant,Grant Bowie wrote:Hi all,

Size and depth wise I think its OK. Despite our heat here in Canberra it does OK.
I am always on the hunt for good pots but they are hard to find in OZ. I am of to china in about 17 days time; I wonder what I may find or see there?

Re: Old Corky bark elm

Re: Old Corky bark elm
Current photos.
I will need to now thin it out slightly and tidy up. Reinforce the 2 x 2s and refine reticulation and taper.

Re: Old Corky bark elm
Note,
I did not find a suitable pot in China; we did not get much chance for shopping generally and the only pot manufacturer we visited was mainly making unglazed pots.
I am hoping to find something in Japan next February. I believe we will have pot shopping opportunities at the Kokufu market and in the Tokoname ceramic area.

A very beautiful tree mate.
I'm a little confused. In your previous post the pot was a totally different colour. It looks very purple in the last photos.

Re: Old Corky bark elm
Same pot, different background colour and more fluro lights above work/photo area, dull wet day outside.
It is definitely purplish.
