Foro Kaeru-En

Red glazed pots - you don't see them that often but at a Bonsai Society of Florida convention a few years ago Dale Cochoy was selling this one and it was fine. Now it is supporting this medium-sized Indian Laurel Ficus (Ficus microcarpa). The tree is about 16 inches above the pot top and about 20 inches wide. A few years ago I replaced the nitida foliage with kinmen foliage via grafting. I'd love to get hold of some of those "melon seed" ficus microcarpa leaves for grafting purpposes.

Lately this guy has had clip and grow techniques only as I have a tendency to overlook him and don't want to cause wire damage however it could use some wire.



Any other red pots out there?
