formal upright tree

Hi IBC.

my upright tree.
Scheduled for repot within the week. any idea for a proper pot for this old tree? I was planning to put it on a circular slab, so that I won't stick with one side only.
I wanted to post it this tree in the other thread on rare bonsai, because it is rare and haven't ID the latin name yet.

Wow, Jun,

you have an amazing climate on your side!

The chances of finding anything, looking like that on our side is extremely rare. The soils are too fertile and nothing stays small.
Hope to see this in leaf as well and so many years down the road.
Thanks for showing.

Thanks Khaimraj,

here is my ghostly image for proportion, I'm trying to smile here for you guys.

Hey Jun,

like I said, an amazing climate, and a source of really big pots. We are peaking at 14 inches [36 cm] long as pots go.

Well, you have an eye for seeing diamonds in the rough, let's see how well you top dress. I don't mind waiting 5 to 10 years to see the balanced result.
Stay smiling -- try someone telling you a joke each time - or think of my bonsai

Face takes shadow well and you have also inherited the eternal youth look of the Orientals.

The tree looks great, but, I wouldn't call it a "formal" upright. Informal maybe.

Hi Jun,
Formal and upright too! Not the tree!
Regards,
Mohan.

Agree. Upright, but too knobby and rough to be "formal" in the purest sense. Maybe it'll look different with foliage.

I tried to think of your tree, the one i really like...the one with tangled kite. Just kidding!
The Indian side of the family?
Maybe you are my long lost big brother...hehehe. Is our family rich? how's dad and mom?

Thanks!

I like very much your tree with foliage !
I think that is informal.

Best regards, Miguel Costa

Thanks Miguel!

I'll post it again after repot and with foliage.
But the tree looks much older without leaves. The barks and old scar marks are really nice.

Me too. I found this tree neglected and in very bad shape. bought it for 20$ and made the branches it as is now. even the gardener didn't know what it was.
I'll take photo of leaves, maybe somebody can ID it.

thanks John!
