IMO, this would look better in an unglazed pot. Most people seem to like tropicals in glazed pots. I believe it was Treebeard who said that a glazed pot is better left off as a cooking dish (in his thread about one of his lonicera natida that was posted several months back). I am starting to agree with that opinion more and more as time goes on. __________________ "Success demands understanding"-Andy Rutledge Charles Bevan Vero Beach, Fl

Beautiful tree either way...the choice is still yours... Regards Behr Last edited by grampz : 2-May-2004 at 11:41 AM.
