I have too many pots...
That doesn't mean I intend to give any away!
I was planning the repotting of a few trees today and this tea tree literati style is growing out of its pot so it is time for a new house (or maybe back into its old house). That meant that I needed to pick a pot and thus the problems started

Re: I have too many pots...
I very like rugged crackle Aussie pot. The transition from rugged pot -> awesome moss -> nice bark of that tree would look good I reckon. Otherwise just send me the rugged crackle Aussie pot to help narrow down any future similar decisions you need to make

Re: I have too many pots...
I rather like the Aussie crackle pot, as the pot complements the texture of the bark. Having said that, they are all great looking pots, so it comes down to a personal preference.

Re: I have too many pots...
In this case, size does matter.
You need a Goldilocks pot, not too small or insignificant that the tree blows over or overwhelms the tree, and not too big or clunky
Interested to see your choice.

Re: I have too many pots...
I vote for 7i, rugged crackle
You’re definitely spoiled for choice! I too have some pots not in use, yet feel I compelled to get more at the next local show...

Re: I have too many pots...
Just to throw out something different I don’t mind 7d… or the green glazed one for something different (7h I think). Whatever one you choose, I’d look to plant it more to the left in the pot, rather than centre to help balance the lean to the right.
Spoiled for choice!!

Re: I have too many pots...
Thank you all for your input. I do like the Goldilocks analogy.
It would be better if there was only the old pot and one new pot but anyone that knows me would know that I am a compulsive pot collector .
The repot will be done early November so I will let you know.
November - I may have time to get a couple new pots by then .

Re: I have too many pots...
You clearly have a serious problem. I can assist with the Pot Donation Centre that I will set up very close to here...
I was enjoying the tree, but then the left branch and the low right branch felt like they started to fight each other. I could imagine cutting that whole left branch off, or the low right - or even the whole tree above the left branch... Then plant it way left in something small.
On the other hand, I could be seriously wrong. Just a thought.

Re: I have too many pots...
A vote for 7D for me. Great colouring that may throw off a little of the pink to es from the flowers. Otherwise for a sense.of stability I think 7A keeps it strong and not looking like it'll fall over.
From one avid pot collector to another, I'm looking forward to seeing the final choice.
Cheers,
Pearcy.

Re: I have too many pots...
Mel, I think that is a little radical for me but I appreciate your photoshop effort.
I am starting to think Gavin could be correct, the removal of a branch could improve it.
Decisions; decisions........
