A or B

[Eckhoffw]

I have two pots on hand I feel suitable for this Birds nest spruce. It has been 4 yrs in the plastic pot.

Would you be so kind as to give me your opinion between them?


Choice A.

Choice B.
I’m sure either would do just fine at this point.

But I was just interested to hear what y’all think.

Thank you!

The curves in the pot somewhat jive with the curvature of the trunk.

The red is a bit too much contrast imo.

Ha ha! Admittedly, I do like choice B. However, the red pot is brand new. It Lacks any character or patina. After a couple seasons, I think it would look a lot better

I like that first branch coming from behind the trunk rather than in front (A).

Thanks gang!
My wife actually picked choice A. She says the pot seems lighter and goes with the relatively thin swooping trunk.
…..Naw, I’m going with choice B. Thanks for the help!
