What kind or style of pot?

[Mike Corazzi]

Stymied here.

It's an oak in case you thought it might be a multi-prong back scratcher.

Oh okay.

Probably not what youwant to hear, but training pot?
Or else maybe a shallowish oval or a rect

EXACTLY what I want to hear. An opinion. Actually jibes with one I've been looking at in my pot stash. CERAMIC pot stash of course.
My concern is that the shallow oval I'm eyeing might dry out too much in a hot summer.

But it WOULD present the best.

It's a year and a half old from nursery starter and spent the first year IN a training pot. Got about 5 feet of roots off of it when I put it in this wrong, wrong, wrong pot.




and thanks for a reply.

If you do go oval, I would go with a masculine glaze or unglazed for this with plain feet, tree is too strong for a feminine type. I don't know your climate or oaks well enough to tell you what is best for culture.

A deep pot, maybe 4 inches, or even 5 inches. That will give you a little leeway in the heat of summer.

I would actually look at rectangle, if the tree is as masculine in person as the photo.

If the tree is more of a 360 tree, in that it has more than one possible front, then go with a round.

Ha great! Any chance of seeing that jibed pot from your ceramics stash?

My first thought is a shallow round pot.

It ....could... be a 360. However, I think I've found the front and would ...like.. an oval that would encompass the spread.
But the rectangle is the most likely.
