new pot for big trident maple
Horst Heinzlreiter gave me this pot last August. I think it is perfect for the big trident.
It is remarkable how a change of pot can alter the way in which one views a tree, the whole composition is more stable and peaceful, yet this pot has harder lines than the former pot... I like the former pot more yet the whole composition is greatly improved. Have you rotated the tree clockwise to present a slightly new front also? I like the change very much!
You changed the pot? Why? I think the previous pot was perfect and this one is just (sorry for the expression) shity. And the change of front makes no sense for me either.
Well, that's just my oppinion. Maybe the tree looks better in real life then on the photo. I'll have too find outh at yout latesummer meeting, I guess. ;)
i just had to comment on the beauty of this tree. truly magnificent! i love seeing these trees in winter. i only wish you could come to Oklahoma to teach us a few tips.

Matt, good eye; I have rotated the tree one hour clockwise. This shows the kink in the trunk better and makes it more interesting.
