This is a warning to all those who use poly boxes for growing.
However, on the bright side, I can see that this drastic change can be good for styling when you are stumped.
At least it is not dead :cool:

Yes please.
I use Poly Boxes so any good advice? I know they deteriorate over time but that takes a good few years

Yep, that's one way to get a tree out of a container but I can't say it is recommended. But just be happy it was a styrofoam box.... I did the same with a beautiful Mirkwood pot and while you can glue together a broken or cracked pot, there is not a lot you can do with a totally shattered pot. And it was a beauty as well. Ahh well... them's the breaks.
