I don't quite understand the last post, but I am certainly not trying to patronize anyone...
That being said, I really like what Yenling suggested on page two about planting angle. It would have more movement and interest in the trunk, but the branches would of course need a re-wire to accommodate the new angle. Those two things paired with perhaps a nice unglazed oval, rugged looking pot makes the best image in my mind. Any thoughts? -=Brian=-
