    Tire Swing Zelkova !*!*!*!

    The pot is made from a wooden cigar box. I took the lid off the box, cut the bottom out the box and replaced it with black plexiglass which I drilled holes in for drainage. The whole box was treated and waterproofed so it wouldn’t rot away.

I chopped it back to about almost a foot, repot, and prayed lol. It's 3 years in and when I first started out it was just a trunk in a pot. Not a single branch...
