I haven't seen Vietnamese pots like that lately!

I've always liked Vietnamese styles, but it's rare to find them in the states for some reason. That goes for both pots and trees. Seems weird given the relatively high Vietnamese population since the war ended in the 70s.

I know, they're phenomenal! I'd love to build on in my backyard, but then my kids and dog would hate me for stealing their space.

I broke my wire cutter cutting some no 6 copper. I Bought an 8 inch Knipex for bigger wire and standard stainless replacement from American bonsai. Then of course I added a finishing scissors I probably didn’t need…

Two pots from @JudyB . Thanks for the impeccable packing job and for offering them to us first! You're right, I do love the rectangle! Just curious, do you read Japanese?

 

[Bonsai Nut]

Japanese red pine 'low glow'


Japanese cryptomeria 'kukumiya'


Aside from fall cleanup, will wait for spring for a repot on both.

Stainless steel drying tray from work. Damaged in shipment, so free. With all the attachment points available I think this will make easy work of assembling a large forest.
