Thanks Walter, I envy your eye for design. I also like the #2 pot, anyone know where I locate one like this?

One thing caught my eye and surprised me, the color of the soil. I noticed that the current mix I am using almost matches the trunk in color. The picture you posted with the second pot choice shows off a mix of a differant color and looks much more pleasing.

Is matching soil mix color and texture to the tree something that is practiced?
