Re: tree burl pots
This kunzea was planted into this one at a BSV demonstration in Jan 2010.
It was on display in Jan 2012 and is in great health.

Re: tree burl pots
when you view a picture in your album it has a number for image BB codes, copy the number for image url and when replying to a post click the IMG button and paste the code in should work .shanew wrote:hi all

Re: tree burl pots
One thing I have been trying to figure out Craig is how to put up a small image that you need to magnify to view it, when I pots a pic its away the size I make it 
That Niggers Head looks good too but re potting would hard as the roots would get into all the nooks and crannies, well thats what I can imagine

Re: tree burl pots
Hi Shane have you tried uploading directly from your computer rather than from your album ? You may find that easier

Re: tree burl pots
They look great as a pot.
I would love to get one (hint hint )
As for the wood rotting and other problems, could you not just sand and lacker the inside of the pot ? drain holes and all?
leaveing the pots outside as normal.
