European Spruce (slender & elegant design)
Howdy, felt like posting another spruce that has been doing very well and I'm very excited for the big re-pot this spring.
Bought at the Trophy in 2020.

Very healthy and most likely has been in the trainer pot for years. Maybe 5-6 and now it's been in the pot for an additional 2 seasons since I've had it.
After the first styling.

Then the 2nd full styling this time at the end of the summer.

And a winter image.

What sort of pot would you select for this one? Cheers.

Wonderful Spruce!
It gives me the impression of a long life battered by wind and snow. Very excited to see it progress!
I could see this tree planted on an interesting stone, or a ceramic that emulates it. I think it would compliment the textured bark nicely.

Thanks, I'll let the pads densify but yes, ideally I'd like to keep the alpine look. I just choose a ceramic this last weekend which should be a nice match. Feminine in design.

Thank you! I just chose the pot over the weekend and I was considering a nanban with a rusty-brown patina look versus the one I went with. Both would suit it but I felt that the one I chose was a bit more feminine and would complement and grab a little more attention than the nanban. Plus the nanban had very strong feet which goes against the more feminine nature of the tree.
I'll post once it's paired up

I'm glad to see this tree doing well! I like the pot! Would you be open to some design suggestions? I could do a quick sketch and post it if you wish. However I totally respect if you want to go about it in your own way as it's very inspired (which is why I think I want to sketch it). Either way its a beautiful tree and you should be proud!
EDIT: Couldn't help myself. All I really did was change the angle slightly, jinned a few branches and brought things in tighter to the trunk... Sorry if I've overstepped some boundaries!
Feel free to disregard!
