very impressive, Giga. quick question: pot (tub) with drainage holes placed in identical outer tub without drainage holes?

Do you water until the outer tub simply over flows? Daily?

Really a beast.

It has straight drainage holes, it just a double lined tub as there a bit flimsy

A branch partialy broke in the flat top design, but I'm simply gonig to add it to the design. For now I'm going to let it grow to help heal the break. I'll cut back at the start of fall to keep the design in winter. Bit gangly with the long growth :)

I also removed the lowest branch coming at you as it just didn't sit well with me. Starting to heal already. May uro it out.0819171949b.jpg

Couple other branches I have done this split work too through accidents or nature. Ez to fix and add character to the tree
