Little more space now, ft. my recovering lime tree.

Not sure if I will keep it against the building

Bro! That Pachyderm Pot and it's use are amazing!

Do tell that story!

Love that!

Can we see the pot better?

Sorce
Thank you!

It is a pot from Philippe Torcatis, a gentleman from France. I have 3 pots from him now and all are exceptional. I thought that the blue tones and elephant were a great match for the elm, as the elephant follows the directionally of the tree. Elephants also push over acacia trees in the wild, so maybe I was kinda going for that too. Tree itself is maybe 4 years old from root cutting

Very well done, especially for a difficult situation which is, a wonderful pot and the patience to pair it correctly.

A million wrongs and you got the one right!

Splendid!

It's funny, I was trying to buy a different elephant pot from him but it got sold from under me, so Philippe suggested this one and it worked out well. I wish I could have gotten the tree planted further to the right, but for now I'm happy with it! If you haven't looked through his website or FB auction posts its a must, he has some catacombs inspired pots that are awesome

He does have some pretty cool and unique pots. I've been bingeing on pots this winter, so I've sworn off. Almost spring, so I can binge on trees for them. 😁
