The hexagonal one that the tree is sitting in at the end of the video is my fav for sure!

To me at 15:50 that lovely round pot was a sure winner. I absolutely liked the way it was evenly balanced out. From the movements of the tree, to the color of the bark, and the balanced tones of the leaves.

HI, For me I would go straight to the Hexagonal glazed pot that tones sympathetically with the trunk. Thanks for making me / us actually pause and think ...Bless you Corin.

The last hexagonal for the Maple…and the flamboyant pot for the Azaleas would be stunning!

The sky blue on top of the shelf under your hand @ 0:08 + would be colorly awesome. Yes. C-O-L-O-R-L-Y. The birth of a word.

I think that style of tree is really well suited to the low and wide type of pot. Great job with the video, I think this may have been the first video I watched exclusive to pots!

I love the blue-gray hexagonal pot the tree is in in the end.

The dark blue pots made the leaves pop! I like the final pot on the other tree as well. A cornucopia of riches!

The earthy lotus shaped pot at 16:40 looked beautiful.. Possible just a tad bottom heavy, but the tree looked stunning in that pot.

This was an excellent example of the process of finding a pot that feels right. Certainly you considered the options in creative alternatives. I only wish I lived nearby a vendor with a selection like yours!

The grey toned hexagonal pot looked amazing

Either of the two on the bench at the end for me, they were beautiful. That was very informative, thanks. I have a similar tree (pre bonsai) in a wooden pot! Wish I had so many pots to try out before deciding!!!

For me the olive coloured one early on, that was brown on the back was my favourite. Good luck with your choice it’s a beautiful tree. I hope I have something like that in my collection one day.

I always look forward to watching Corin's videos, very interesting, informative and educational. It was nice to see how a tree could work in various styles and colours of pots.

Hexagonal gray gets my vote.👍🏼

Loved the pretty blue hexagonal at 12:50 👍😍😍

For me the dark blue, the first one. I loved the contrast with the leaves of the tree. The cream one second choice, again the contrast with the leaves. Really enjoyed the video thanks

With the delicate fine leaves I think the sallower pot looks best, Elegant!! .

personally i like the the matte blue (18:23) good depth size and contrasts well against the vibrant leaf. must look amazing with the evening sun on it... luckily i usually only have one pot to choose from so makes things easy.

Loved the 300 cream pot really set the tree off 😊

I liked the pot that melded into the trunk. The two on the table at the endow the video were nice too.

Very informative never knew there was so many pots, l can understand how important the right is and that it’s a personal decision. Thank you.

14:40 is perfect. The base of the tree is too rugged and gnarled for those shiny, symmetrical pots. The style and shape of that pot matches it perfectly and will contrast well with the bright colorful leaves.

Stunning pots all of those. I like the tree in the 2nd pot with the olive colour at the front but that’s just me 😮😊

The pot to the right at the end looked stunning but the hexagonal one looks great to. The ones that matched the bark colours seemed to work best to my eye. Preferred the creams and browns to blue

Right workout shifting all those pots about!

Corin, this was like going to the opticians, is it better in this pot or better in this one and whenever you go the optician it's always the first lense they put in the frame that's perfect. 😎 😂

Bill and Ben comes to mind 😉😉 love the last pot it’s in at the end .👌👌

I really like the lotus one you sat next to it at the very end

Hello Corin. That’s was a really interesting video. My opinion is blue to green colour and style wise I think a case can be made for any. What was really interesting was how the pot colour can enhance the the trunk colour. Personally I like blue pots. But perhaps in my quest to learn more I should try experimenting more. I am planning to visit the nursery in the spring long round trip but I am sure it will be worth it.

What a great little video, and perfectly illustrates how several different styles of pots can work with a tree depending on personal tastes and whether you want to emphasise the foliage or the bark, and complement or contrast. This tree looked great in several of those pots - I personally particularly liked the ones matching the trunk colour.

I like the blue one ( 12:00 ), cause it´s the contrair colour to the red foliage and matches in his best time of the year.

The grey/blue hexagonal pot compliments the maple nicely and gives a nice contrast with the bark and foliage. Would agree the cream pot definitely suits the azalea

I am very happy that you guys ship to the US from your online store so I can pick some good pots too!

Love the cream at the end with the azalea and the final pot on the bench for the maple. Total agreement on those two selections, thanks for another enlightening video!

Definitely one of the last two pots you showed would be my choice. I like the more muted glaze and color on both. If I had to choose one I would go with the lotus shaped pot as my preference.

The book you showed at the beginning was the first bonsai book I ever bought still use it today for reference

For me, Corin, the blue/grey hexagon pot with the mottled glaze is the one. Not only the colour, but the markings on the pot seem to match the markings on the trunk perfectly. Thanks for the insight in the video.

It's amazing how the colour and the shape of the pots affects the look and complements the tree, Great Video, Following your channel from New Zealand.

The cream-glaze hexagonal pot at 13:18 won it for me. When the atropurpuream is in leaf, the pot colour compliments the foliage and the rounded edges compliment the flow of the tree. It's also not too expressive so as to overwhelm the composition in winter when the tree's bare. I wondered about the complimentary hexagonal pot at 12:45. You're not going to like me saying this, and it's a matter of personal taste of course, but the grey glaze patina looks like water damage (if you're in a hard water area at least!). I'm sure it's a lovely pot seen first hand, but that swung it for me. Great video Corin. I learned a lot from this - thank you.

a very difficult decision ... this tree looks beautiful in all these pots

Love the blue

Like cream pot what a fabulous tree

The hexagonal pot with the unusual glaze is the one sir !! It is perfect fits like a glove 🥊 and matches beautifully with the bark. That’s the one I would go with😉

And then you have all the fun of finding a tree for the original turquoise pot!

The one it ends up in at the end 👌

Wahoo, i love your big pots...difficult to choose, i know...

I'm new to your videos and have loved them all. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and teaching us beginners the beauty of these tree's!

I love all of them😂😂but at the end the last lotuspot would fit best for me.

Great video, will need to watch it again with a whiskey in hand to help make a decision lol

i definitly learned one thing from this. i could not run a successful bonsai business i love all these pots and need them lol

How wonderful to follow in your father's footsteps in devoting your life to the appreciation and cultivation of beauty.

I love the matte blue pot for the maple and the cream/white pot for azalea, it's just stunning. That combination stole the whole show :) All in all, what a lovely collection of pots!

@23:24 Absolutely yes! It's perfect! Stunning!

The two on the bench at the end of the video, I'm swaying towards the hexagonal one👍and the azalea should look amazing in the pot you placed in front of it 😊

I actually love the idea of a shallow pot. I like the oval at the end, but might want to see it in different colors.

Beautiful making, excellent,

the pot at 08:03 has the best shape (accentuates femininity). this shape in the cream color with sharkskin texture would be perfect. (reflects the dappled sunlight of the crown). so maybe the one at 09:35 really is close to perfection.

I really enjoyed this video ! Thanks Corin.

Thank you. Very nicely explained. Fine collection of pots you got there 👍

That type of maple naturally twists around, mine has a lot of branches rotating around the whole canopy.

Well Im sure I'm too late but I like the hex blue pot. Also, been watching your videos and enjoy them all to heck. Im over here east coast U.S. in the Appalachian mountains. Love maples.

Shallow oval with autumnal green glaze.

Really like the round hand made pot

Lots of potential pots for the maple but you're right, that cream coloured pot is perfect for the azalea. Especially when it's in bloom. 😁👍👏👏👏

I like the grey/green lotus pot.

Good video Corin, hope you are all well at Greenwood

I like the olive coloured pot think it looks good in it.

Loved this video!!

The smile on my face, when you showed the turquoise pot at 17.20 but i really love colors and much contrast, but i also really like the two last pots.

I liked the two you like but also the unglazed lotus pot looked very nice.

I liked the last pot you had it in at the end of the video, but overloaded my brain with so many nice pots!

the grey hexagonal is my humble advice, thanks for another lesson.

The pot that the tree was in at the very end or a cream pot for me suits the tree better , stunning tree and just goes to show its not one size fits all great insight into size, colour , shape and pattern of pots. The pots are and can be as beautiful as the tree! Love Corin's fleece too!

Definitely the last light blue lotus pot for the maple. Stunning match.

Out of all of them I like the rectangular pot at 19:30 I think the shallower depth suits the slender trunk and it's also a really nice nod to it's heritage and your father.

Thank's for this informationvideo.......i like it very much

I would say the last pot it was in at the end, the hexagonal. That gray is stunning. Also the azalea in the tan pot would look amazing.

That maple is amazing and in my opinion it would look great in anything. Thanks for the video.

I love the soft colouration of the hexagonal pot, it let's the autumn leaf colour be the star, whereas the paler/creamy ones seemed to complete too much...but I can also see the lotus shape pot working xx

Would it be possible for you to do a video on your farther. Having read/own the book your referencing above, it would be nice to know a little more about him and his journey with bonsai.

At the end of the video the empty pot on the right next to the maple I like that one I'm also thinking it would give room for the root base and trunk to develop more I've not long started my journey into bonsai so my knowledge has a very long way to develop and I could be completely wrong either way I still like that pot for the tree. Thank you Corin love all the videos from Greenwood Bonsai

I liked the first light olive the best. The others are very nice except the first dark blue whi ch goes well with dark green leaves the best. Most of them are very nice e. Very interesting. Thx.

Absolutely stunning if only we all had that many pots at our disposal it’s great to know how much thought goes into pot choice I for one like it in a few of your choices but like you I couldn’t narrow it down and I’m sure by March/April it will all fall into place 😜

Thanks again for such an informative video on pot selection. My choices for the maple is 1. the hexagonal one at 12.55 in the video, then 2. the one made by Pitt at 14.59 and then 3. the one at 18.28. As regards the azalea I totally agree with the off-white pot that you proposed...even though it is somewhat over-sized when not in flower, its visual weight (size and color and contours) will balance and match with tree in flower creating a magnificent combination....looking forward to see these trees in their new pot.

Love the hexagonal one. It’s colour and style seems to suit the tree the best, followed by the lotus one. 😊

Thank you!😍

Yes on both, the larger cream with the rivets for the azalea, and then the hexagonal one that matches the bark, the color shifts in the glaze even match the cut scar, you can really see it in your first presentation at 12:47

I agree on the last pot you showed it in. Good depth and color won’t overpower the tree.

Great overview of pot selection for the tree. Maple = muted blue scalloped for the Maple. Grayish one no. YES, for the Satuski Azalea definitely the cream/brown pot. That nails it !!

I love this segment on pots, so far my favorite, you could have displayed another 15 pots and I would still watch to the end. I liked the olive pot you were leaning towards but I’m sure whatever you decide the tree will look just as nice as in its previous pot. Thank you for this video

Love the cream

Love the hexagon pot at ( 12:44 ) you’ve got a nice blue and interesting glaze that’s not overpowering at the same time. “Quite nice actually” and “it picks up the tones in the bark quite nicely” 😁👍🏻

I like it in the creme colored one that complements the bark... the one you also considered for the azalea.

It was pleasure watching the whole process and the amazing pots as back here in India we don't have that much choices of pots 👍👍👍

I would also consider the tree's autumn colour before finally deciding on which pot to use. Where I live (Southern Australia) Acer atropurpureum turns a lovely coppery gold through to red tones in Autumn. Assuming your wonderful tree ends up in Autumn shows/displays, I'd suggest this is when the choice of pot will matter the most! We love your channel - practical, helpful and very educative. Thank you.

The one it was sitting in at the end, and I think the Azalea would look stunning in the busy pot

I would go for the pot of 2 halves, with the olive green side as the front.

the retangular pot Corin with the band

"Just to confuse you." 😂
