BTW I couldn't get your link to work. This one does.

Yep...I did not try it before but the link does not work.
Hmm....I swear I ordered a stand from him before but I can't for the life of me find it! Oh well, it will show up like most things do and that's when your not looking for it!

Thanks for the link - he's got a stand that looks like it would look good with the natal plum. And reasonably priced. Now I just need to remember to measure the size of the pot when I go home tonight.

Well if you plan on displaying this tree/stand combination, perhaps it is wise to ask for input on your selection in order to produce the best final outcome.

This is the stand that I saw on his website that I thought would compliment the pot that the tree is in. Depending on its size verses the size of the pot, which I need to remember to measure.

IMO, way to full, this stand is more in line for a husky masculine tree. We need to know pot size, as we are merely guessing here.

This is a little more delicate.

The pot is 9 1/2" (24.1cm) wide, 6 1/2" (16.5cm) deep and 2 1/2" (6.3cm) tall.

I kind of suspected that. As I stated IMO the stand you selected is way to heavy for your tree. Google bonsai tables/stands. There are many shops out there, not just this fellow. Post what you find and like and we will continue to help.

What about something like this? The dimensions are 14" x 10 1/2" by 2" tall. I like the style, though I'm unsure that the rosewood is the right color.

I think this one is of the right proportions and delicate enough. Now we just need a new pot for your tree.

Maybe
