Picked up this Dawn Redwood forest and pot at our club auction last fall. The pot is really huge (about 25-26 inches across) and unique and that's mainly what I was bidding on - it was made by an older member of the club who can't really do pottery anymore and I want to own a few pieces of his work. Anyway, this is what it looked like last fall.

Thought that pot was a bit too big unless I was going to add 5-6 more seedlings, so I did some major rootwork (was in very organic soil, got rid of about 60% of that) and got some better soil in there. Re-arranged slightly and put it in this unglazed pot for now. Definitely will do quite a bit of trimming to adjust tree and canopy heights in the future, but I think I like where it's heading. Probably will introduce 1 or 2 smaller seedlings in at some point too. Not this year.

Nice work with the rearrangement.
Dawn redwoods are beauties and such a joy to work with.
