[IBC] Priorities in bonsai design
Neal:
When you say larger size pot do you mean a larger Bonsai pot or larger clay garden pot? Does larger mean width and length or depth? Also, how much larger to promote trunk growth?

If you are happy with your trunk size I would go for it myself. But if you still have your trunk to develop or if you plan on doing a trunk chop I would still give it the larger sized pot to allow for free growth of a new leader. Then once I had developed my new leader I would start selecting which branches I intended to keep for the final design. After I got to about 2/3 completion of that part, then I would put it into a shallower pot. But that is just me and I am only going by what I have read and heard others talking about. I am still in the trunk development stage on 95% of my trees. ************************************************* ******************************* ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************* ******************************* -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
