This tree is incredible, and the "arms" being wired to have hands as well is the cherry on top. Did you find/make a new pot for this yet? I think a Thor Holvila pot with the skull feet would be perfectly on brand, not too on the nose at all. I hope you'll get the chance to put it in a show at some point, I'd love to see it in a full display setting. Not sure what the accent would be but preferably something poisonous like deadly nightshade, or Datura, or a little carnivorous plant

Thank you, I look forward to the day I get it into a pot that feels right. Next year, I need to do a lot of wiring and searching for a pot; I may just make a custom pot for it. I do plan to eventually put it in a show. I love the idea of a carnivorous plant accent!

I'm thinking drip style glazed pot. With neutral colored base (brown / black -ish) and red/oxblood glaze dripping from the edge, resembling blood.
Something like this but with above color scheme:



Because the tree is already very gimmicky I wouldn't go too crazy with the pot.

Or if you do want to go all out gimmicky you can maybe make a pot in the shape of a witches cauldron.
Or something that resembles a cut in half pumpkin.

Really love what you’ve done with the upper branching. The old design looked a bit like pom-poms, and it was a bold step but necessary step to rebuild it.

Cool, you noticed! I did change the top branches quite a bit. I totally agree with the Pom poms, I like this look much better. I plan on cutting them back some more and wiring the new growth next year.
I was curious if anyone would see the change.
