hi all heres a tree ive been working on for a month or so im thinking square semi cascade what are your thoughts

or does any one have a pot that would suit they want to sell im strugling to find any semi cascades in qld that would suit

what size is it mate? the only pot i have that might suit would probly be a bit tall, its octagonal in shape though.

pot size is 5 inchs across by about 10 inches tall, the 5 inches across would be from the furthest 2 points.

hi needs to be about 180mm to about 220mm at the bigest

are you talking depth or width? the one i got is 200mm approx. deep. and 125mm approx at the widest points

i will get ya a pic. but i think it will be too small.

mate i have a nice unglazed japanese semi cascade pot that would probably suit it nicely, i will have alook for it and post a pic asap

is the tree staying at that angle?

because i think even a low rectangular pot would suit.
and it could become a Windswept ( with just a Little rotate )
E.g. alternately keeping the Semi-Cascade Styling would look great it a Medium Hexagonal.

E.g.

jordy the hexagonal looks the go mate

thanks jordy i like the hexagonal now i just have to find one why dosnt any one stock many semi cascades i love them might have to get one imported or made

have you tried tess at bonasai nursery nothside?

after looking at the proportion on my quick Virt there, i'm not sure if i've Underpotted on your tree there...
i don't think so, but something seems wrong... it just doesn't work for me :S

Do any of you see anything? Or is it just me?

Maybe its the lack of Soil Mix that you can see thats bugging me...


For all you newbies
- Underpotting - (for those of you unfamiliar with the term) is where you've placed your bonsai in a pot too small than it really should be... Generally it is seen as a good idea for the scale of your tree.

I've tried bonsai Northside bonsai place bonsai grower red dragon and bonsai farm in melb I think the height of the pot is right just a bit wider may b balaces a bit better

I was in at Tess's Bonsai Northisde yesterday adn she had quite a few semi cascade style pots. I wasn't looking hard at them though, but there were a few nice looking ones.
Send Tess an email or give her a call, she'll find you one =)
Alternatively, I can keep an eye out for one for ya if you want. I'm getting pots from Japan
=)

cheers mate that would be great

dayne,

i have been looking at your tree, i keep coming back to it and looking, i am wondering if you could take the lower section of the tail off to create better balance, right now it looks a little like the pom pom effect but i think with some detail wiring you will get the pads out sweet, i think if you did take the tail off you will have a nice little tree
