Hi all, I've recently started the hard task of deciding on a new pot for my Elm, i have some ideas of my own, but would very much like the opinions of people who like this tree..The original oval blue pot was 320mm wide by 230mm and a depth of 40mm. It looked ok in the blue pot but not really an ideal pot for the tree.. I'm keen to hear any options-eg; slab,oval, round ,deep, shallow, colors. I'd like to get something handmade by someone here in Australia also .I'll post a few pics- the zelkova broom(not mine-but an awesome tree)- this tree is potted so it represents a single tree in an open space- this is the "feeling" i would like to portray with my tree/pot.i like the pot also.. The 2 pots are what i would like the pot to be made like, appearance not style. and the last is a slab- if the slab had a finish like the green pot, i think i would be close to the right pot for my tree. Plse tell me what you're thinking ps- i forgot ny tree pic,,,,.

any thoughts at all???

Maybe one of the drum pots?
Nice tree. I do love hollow trunks .

,thanks Lennard-

I like the free form better than the drum, as the drum pot, appears far to heavy for the tree, may be a shallower one might work. The free form needs to be shorter.

Cheers Happy new year Pup

I'd send PatK a message and ask him if he can make a pot for it. I reckon a dark oval personally. I am not a fan of free forms pots, and the drum, as pup has stated, is much to heavy for the tree.

Thanks Pup and Jarrod, much appreciated guys. Craig

Hi Craig,
I like the one in your avatar, same shape mabe a touch darker, I also like glazed pots for elms.
Actually is that the current pot blue/green glazed oval?
If so I like it.

Thanks Gerard, the pot i had this tree in earlier on in the progression is an oval blue(medium dark), i also was looking at the pot i have in my avatar Cheers mate- Craig

Do not like the one on the slab

What about the Freeform moon?

the drum pots look far to Masculine for this tree.. Something Round but much more delicate is needed

Hi Craig,
I'm with Pup. I would go for a similar pot to your avatar however if you could get on with one with a few cracks around the edges I think that it would match the 'lightning strike'.

Thanks Jarrod,,not sure why i couldn't bring up that page. much appreciated---Craig. Thanks Edward
