I loved that red pot. But, ya know... I was working on some other trees. We were having high winds, 18-25mph. Nothing really unusual. Then, this gust came along. It went down the hill from my house. I could see it coming by little things flying in the air, and the grass flattening. Suddenly, it swooped down into my driveway, and picked up the Ondae by the lower branches. I saw my tree spinning in the air, about a foot higher than its resting place. And then, the wind threw my tree on the driveway.
Other than the pot being smashed, the tree lost only one very tiny branch. The Ondae was actually improved by this violence.
Of course, I had no other container, but in a very similar circumstance a number of years ago, I went to a local garden store and bought a pot from Vietnam. On this trip to the same store, I wound up with this Maylaysian pot for about $31.00. It is not stoneware, but a kind of hybrid made of terra cotta, and a very thin layer of really hard clay. But what attracted me was the color--Rustic Black. It blended so well with my tree its purchase was a foregone conclusion.
