I have posted a tree in Melaleucas, being restyled so I need a new pot. At this point in time I have not had one reply. I have posted some pics for ideas, you are the potter maybe something you have or an idea. I am a big advocate for using LOCAL where I can so who is going to help me get a native pot??.
Cheers Pup

Re: Australian pots for natives
Hi Pup, love what you're doing with the Mel and I recon if someone can sort you out with a pot to fit something like number 2 I'd vote that! Good luck!

You could send Penny at mudlarkpottery a PM and get her to have a look at your post. She does some nice pots that suite our natives.

Re: Australian pots for natives
I agree, something like the second pot you posted would get my vote. Personally I would go a slightly darker colour though, but that is personal taste.Pup wrote:Depth needed is changed to 20cm.cre8ivbonsai wrote:Hi Pup, love what you're doing with the Mel and I recon if someone can sort you out with a pot to fit something like number 2 I'd vote that!
