Depends upon how you stylize the tree. If it's cascade, it could be
interesting. Anyway, you shouldn't have to ask the Taste Police. If we all
had to depend upon someone else's taste, the bonsai world would be in a sad
state.

Indeed, but I've encountered a few who seem to feel that their taste is the
definitive standard.

Hey you are the taste police, you decide if it looks good.
however you are in a cold place you have to consider whether that pot can
take extreme cold. Glazed pots tend to break sometimes if you do not protect
them. from the sudden changes. An unglazed pot may hold up better.

Iris,
If you feel the need to ask then you do not really like it.
Find something else or you will be bothered by it continually.

IC,
Legal, sure. Attractive, maybe. Traditional, no,


Bottom line, your bonsai, your choice.

the white and blue-green combo reminded me
of some of my bad wardrobe choices of the 80s.

Oh, dear. The reason I was considering it is because the Japanese have a
proverb which allows them to put a pine tree in a white pot. I think I will get
the pot anyway because the price is right. Then I can see how they look
together.

Gee, isn't white associated with death in Japan? I hope
your ancient proverb isn't an ancient curse! ;-)

Better than a white juniper in a blue container ;-)

Seriously, don't see why not. How about trying the tree in the pot for a
year, see if it works? I've had some surprising results that needed to be
seen for a while before decided on.

IT IS NOT AN ISSUE OF CASCADES BEING MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE COLD. IT IS
JUST A MATTER OF TAKING CARE OF GLAZED POTS. THEY TEND TO CRACK SOMETIMES DUE TO
SUDDEN TEMP CHANGES.

That is not really a problem. I don't leave cascades outdoors for the winter.
It would spend the winter in the unheated sunporch, which goes down to about
25. I wouldn't use a pot that can't take any frost at all for a hardy bonsai.
