Ok, it is time to repot this little guy come spring. I have three options and I wanted to see what you had to say about it. In september of '08 i bought this at Lowe's as a mounded landscape plant on clearance. The full story can be seen here,

Well, without further ado...
p.s. I'm gonna add pics with the new pots placed in front of the tree as soon as I take them.

I'd opt for the last picture, w/ the straight-sided rectangle.

i like the vertical lines of the round pot.... I think it will deceive the eyes by providing a wider spread than what the tree actually has. If that makes any sense?

I think you need a training pot like this:

. My dad and I have realized that we should use these training pots until we are ready to show a tree, and then buy a quality pot when the tree is showable. Otherwise why put it in a pot that will not help to develop the tree? And waste money on pots of lesser quality.
Just my opinion, and like a liver, everyone has one.

I like it.
I think I told you in chat that I love the new pot it's in.
