I bought this Trident back in 2011. This is the pot it was in at the time. I didn’t like the rectangle and I didn’t like that the rock over hung the left side of the pot.
I opted to change the pot to this Walsall Ceramics pot in February 2012.
And there it stayed until last week. I had another pot come into my hands that I wanted to try out and then of course I found another one as a second option. I tried the tree out in each pot.
This was the blue option
and this was the cream/white option.
After some deliberation I opted for the cream pot. It was my favourite of the two anyway but I was also able to twist the tree slightly more in the pot with the extra front to back space allowing for a slightly new front that shows a little of the rock to the right side of the far right root which I think adds to the image.
Better?

It maybe the way the pot appears in the photo but to me the rim on the cream pot is wonky ( could not think of a better word!) and it put me off😕 I actually like the last photo and the darker pot. Sorry if it is a bit negative. Thanks for sharing though😁

Wobble is the word you’re looking for 🙂 I doubt mind it, i prefer the colour, size, depth and lack of a rim on the new pot. It’s not an expensive pot and I plan to source a quality one with a bit of age to it with the same shape and dimensions for the next repot. It would be boring if we all liked the same thing. Thanks for commenting.

Ian…looks greatThat what I was telling folk last night ie how you can just move the tree a fraction and you have a completely “different tree” Alan

It’s not always the big changes that make the most improvement, sometimes a different angle, pot change or removing a branch can make all the difference.

I like the Walsall pot better, I think it complements the rock’s surface and trunk color better than the more refined creamy pot…
