Chinese Elm pots

[ConorDash]

Im very guilty of this myself, I even have a term for it, I call them "lookin pots" they are not for planting trees in, just looking at. For what some of the very showy ones sell for I think they look very nice...in my glass display case.

My advice to the OP,
Is similar to what other have said, pot YOUR trees in what YOU like because your going to wake up every day and see it and water it, so you better like what you pot it in. If a an old car tire is your thing than so be it only you got to look at it.

Displaying for a show however is a bit different.

Good summary mate . I’ve got a few I’m looking at now. Might buy a few, quite cheap.

thanks all. No doubt I’ll update thread with my choice at some point.
