I have been studying bonsai since 1994, in an ever-increasing obsessive fashion. In our last 5 years prior to moving from Iowa to Alabama pursuing a career in the foodservice industry, my bonsai collection was limited to a few varieties that could survive brutal winters outside, or winters under dim light in the dank basement of our humble duplex...my wife puts up with a lot. Including the trailer hitch I put on our brown 1983 Chrysler New Yorker to pull a U-Haul full of trees to Nashville for a 3-month stop along the career path that led us to Alabama. 12 years later, we no longer have the New Yorker; and not a single one of those trees remain on my bench, having given the last holdout to a new club member this summer. I prefer collecting native trees and buying the classical species used in Japan, feeding organic, and reading everything I can get my hands on.

I like the Sara rayner pot,beautiful pot.The little gap in the middle of the pot takes my eye up the tree.
Sara Raynor for me too, something about the texture works for it.
For a late Spring or early Summer show I would consider the Oribe or the Chinese pot.
Oribe Koyo.
Raynor. The Koyo is a nice pot and does compliment the tree however I feel it doesn’t make it stand out as the Raynor pot does.
Being a Sara Raynor fan that the pot I would chose even if it make the picture a little on the dark side. But that where I live on the dark side. nice size the yellow one bring out the green in the leaves. but Sara wins
Oribe Koyo rectangle will I go with.
I prefer the vintage Chinese rectangle pot
I like the last one, the Oribe, or, to me, the Chinese one looked just fine. But then again, I am not the best a picking pots.

HA!!! A fig in a Koyo?!?! But I do like it better than the others.
And it’s not close……
Vintage Chinese pot shows the tree well
Vintage Chinese pot shows the tree well
Vintage chinese if it’s in fact glazed and not just the camera flash. Koyo if not the chinese pot is not glazed.
i prefer the vintage chinese pot as the colour complements the grey color of the trunk and the leaf color. I like round Sara Raynor pot but think its a bit too dark for this tree.
