To Pot or Plant? That Is The Question

I have a few dwarf conifers that I can never decide where best to plant them so some go into spare bonsai pots to trial as potential bonsai. This one is a dwarf Canadian Hemlock, which appears to be the cultivar ‘Cole’s Prostrate’.

The tree has been in this pot for a few years now. It is a very slow grower. Surprisingly, some Club Moss has recently appeared on its own. I’ll leave it in hopes that it spreads and begins to look like a fern covered forest floor.

I had purchased this tree in a nursery pot from Scott White at Bucks County Bonsai (Perkasie, PA).

Going forward, I’ll try to mention the origin of my trees.
