Thanx for the replies lads :)
As with most of the trees with some potential, there is always a feeling like - "Maybe I should have gone the other way" or "I should have chosen other style".
With one of my big junipers I changed the style alltogether after just one year,
I should have this tree in my hands today, maybe tomorrow and then I will see what is actually possible.
From the initial pic it seems that there are many options and most of us would choose something else :D
That´s the fun of it.
Now my option is affected by looking too often in Qingquan Zhao´s book literati style penjing, and some of those literati cascades are taking my bretah away.
Not sure if you could call the tree on my virtual a literati cascade, but those twists in the trunk are reminding me of those cascades.

So I got it yesterday and styled today. After gently untangling the roots I moved it into the trainig pot without cutting any of them.
The result is not too far from the virtual, but I draw it as it was much bigger tree and I could actually set the clouds in more detail :dry:

To be honest I liked the last pictures better. Both pot and design was better in my taste. However, the most important is that the development is according to your liking, not mine. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, I think the tree would benefit with a slightly lower but wider pot.

a less high and unglazed pot, it is a conifer and not a hardwood will put it more in value
