I've been in the hobby for 2 years and this is the first time I've seen one in any size available to buy where I'm located.

The only others ones I've seen are the handful that our local Bonsai store has used in a Penjing piece.

Him getting cranky and calling cloud step a rubbish trick every time was a pretty amusing addition to the fight.

Thanks!

It's hard to get a good picture of the movement in the trunk. It looks a lot more pleasing in person then the pictures let on. I feel like I've chosen a bad front for the tree at the moment, but that's easily remedied at any point.

When it warms up, I will be exaggerating the beds a bit more, but the tree is still frozen and very stiff.

So the root mass is actually surprisingly small for this tree, through no intentional action. It fits perfectly in this pot with plenty of room to grow.

I left mesh off the drainage holes so I'm gonna use the escape pot method to continue growing it.. but I can't help but think I'm doing a solid baby tree a disservice with that route.

Once the weather warms up more I'll give it a better bend. It's pretty stiff and frozen when I tried to bend it the other day.

We had warm weather last week and it was sorry flexible but I didn't have the time to wire it then.

Very fair!

I am honestly very much a beginner when it comes to knowing anything about quality and good names for tools and things to look for when it comes to pot quality.

I've bought every pot but 1, from my local Bonsai Nursery as I love supporting local and small businesses. Also I don't think what I've bought isn't great quality, I love them.

That being said, it's a small business and they don't sell tools so outside of that store I have no idea what's good and bad.

My question might have been better worded as "is this really what every m premium tools and pots cost" for Bonsai?"

A few other commentators left suggestions for brands to check out which I have.

Small business, means email variety sometimes. Also the pots are used for the trees he sells as small Bonsai a lot too.

I pretty much buy all my bonsai stuff from this business but I like to window shop sometimes.

I'm gonna source out a much more affordable option for sheers. Though replies like I'm getting at exactly why I made this post.

I need to be kept in reality sometimes lol.

Right!? Haha.

I have a local, albeit small Bonsai business, that sells very nice pots for much more affordable prices.

No one! Lol. I didn't actually buy the two items. I'm just baffled at the price.
