Big Myrt in Dale's pot

Today I installed my big myrtle in the pot Dale Cochoy made for it. Not the season to repot, but I was very careful to not disturb the roots any more than necessary. I had to do a little cutting of corners, as the myrtle came out of a rectangular pot. Hard to fit a square peg in a round hole.
This may be the best tree-pot combo in my collection.
Overall height is 39 inches.
What say you all?

Mike

Truly stunning...The colors of the tree and the pot seem almost as if the pot had been fashioned just for this tree...The pot shape suits the tree well, and the size is very complimentary...After seeing this pot as Mr. Dale was building it, and realizing the size of it, this photo is quite amazing to behold...Great work from both artists, and an excellent match...

Regards
Behr

Behr, as a matter of fact, the pot was fashioned just for this tree. I couldn't be happier!!

Where is Dale?

Thanks all, for your comments.
I thought that by now Dale would have logged in. I'm looking forward to his reaction. Maybe he's on vacation, riding his Hawg around the summer countryside.
