- In this video Corin tries a few pots out with a beautiful cut leaf Japanese Maple. The tree appeared in Harry Tomlinson's complete book of bonsai pictured over 35 years ago.
We are fortunate to have the ability to try such a broad selection of pots in readiness for re-potting in Spring.

The hexagonal one that the tree is sitting in at the end of the video is my fav for sure!
How wonderful to follow in your father's footsteps in devoting your life to the appreciation and cultivation of beauty.
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.
I love the blue-gray hexagonal pot the tree is in in the end.
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!
The grey toned hexagonal pot looked amazing
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!
Loved the pretty blue hexagonal at 12:50 👍😍😍
The dark blue pots made the leaves pop! I like the final pot on the other tree as well. A cornucopia of riches!
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.
Loved the 300 cream pot really set the tree off 😊
With the delicate fine leaves I think the sallower pot looks best, Elegant!! .
Hexagonal gray gets my vote.👍🏼
I liked the pot that melded into the trunk. The two on the table at the endow the video were nice too.
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.
The earthy lotus shaped pot at 16:40 looked beautiful.. Possible just a tad bottom heavy, but the tree looked stunning in that pot.
in real life that pot is a stunner
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 😮😊
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.
The book you showed at the beginning was the first bonsai book I ever bought still use it today for reference
I am very happy that you guys ship to the US from your online store so I can pick some good pots too!
Right workout shifting all those pots about!
I really like the lotus one you sat next to it at the very end
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
Like cream pot what a fabulous tree
Bill and Ben comes to mind 😉😉 love the last pot it’s in at the end .👌👌
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!
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.
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!
Wahoo, i love your big pots...difficult to choose, i know...
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.
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. 😎 😂
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.
Thanks and welcome
@23:24 Absolutely yes! It's perfect! Stunning!
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.
And then you have all the fun of finding a tree for the original turquoise pot!
Beautiful making, excellent,
i definitly learned one thing from this. i could not run a successful bonsai business i love all these pots and need them lol
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.
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.
That was awesome, some of those pots are spectacular.
Love the blue
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
a very difficult decision ... this tree looks beautiful in all these pots
I really enjoyed this video ! Thanks Corin.
Thank you. Very nicely explained. Fine collection of pots you got there 👍
The one it ends up in at the end 👌
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
I've sold the Grey hexangonal one now !
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😉
I love all of them😂😂but at the end the last lotuspot would fit best for me.
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.
I agree with the colour. Not something I would choose, as the belly disagrees with the elegant trunk.
100%. Most of the pots would work but this one stands out to me too.
Loved this video!!
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 😊
Good video Corin, hope you are all well at Greenwood
I liked the last pot you had it in at the end of the video, but overloaded my brain with so many nice pots!
Great video, will need to watch it again with a whiskey in hand to help make a decision lol
Really cool video, like how you go through everything including the back story of the tree
That maple is amazing and in my opinion it would look great in anything. Thanks for the video.
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.
Really like the round hand made pot
Fascinating Corin, thank you. For me I think the hexagonal pot it was in at the end of the video really suited the tree. I look forward to seeing which you choose in March.
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 😜
Hello Corin, interesting video, enjoyed it. indeed this Tree looks good in many pots, I personally like the last u left the tree in n the blue in the starting,
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.
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.
Wow what a difficult decision. I can`t wait to see what one
you pick. BTW out of your last four selections I like the blue Lotus pot.
Thanks Mike T from NJ USA
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!
Love the hexagonal one. It’s colour and style seems to suit the tree the best, followed by the lotus one. 😊
I like the grey/green lotus pot.
Thank you!😍
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.
the grey hexagonal is my humble advice, thanks for another lesson.
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. 😁👍👏👏👏
Very interesting insight on the matching of bonsai with pots. The lotus (the second on the bench at the end) would be my choice; I believe it complements the bark beautifuly and adds a great contrast to the foliage. Looking forward for your next video!
Thank's for this informationvideo.......i like it very much
I liked the two you like but also the unglazed lotus pot looked very nice.
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!
Thank you Pavel, Yes that could work well, Im pretty sure the Azalea is going to go in the Cream pot.
@@greenwoodbonsaistudio so, Corin, how did the Azalea turn out? ;) did you move it after all? cheers
Shallow oval with autumnal green glaze.
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.
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 !!
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 👍👍👍
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.
that is definitely a fore runner, its a beautiful pot
The Lotus shaped one at the end
I like the olive coloured pot think it looks good in it.
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.
I agree with some of the other comments, it’s the last two on the bench for me. I think I prefer the lotus pot myself as I don’t feel it competes with the tree as much as the hex one, which I feel is too identical to the trunk colouring. Thanks for your videos. Keep up the good work.
Definitely the last light blue lotus pot for the maple. Stunning match.
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
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
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.
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 agree on the last pot you showed it in. Good depth and color won’t overpower the tree.
Thanks Corin. Just watched this (Mon evening). Could have done with seeing it earlier, as I called in today on a rare drive by returning from hols and picked up some small pots for some trainee bonsai. All good ideas and lovely pots.
Thats a shame I was out today, so must have missed you I guess
@@greenwoodbonsaistudio Never mind. Still some super trees on show. I'll call in again next time I go down the M1. One can never have enough pots.
Great video Corin, thanks for sharing. Deffo the hexagonal light blue pot (the one at the end) as it's a good match for the bark colour, the depth looks right and overall it has movement and just enough of a feminine feel about it for the tree. Look forward to seeing which one you choose.
I like it in the creme colored one that complements the bark... the one you also considered for the azalea.
Love the cream
the retangular pot
Corin with the band
I would go for shallow rectangle glazed pot or hexagonal matching the bark tones. Azalea in flowers would look stunning in this bigger creamy pot. Great video!
