I assumed it would have been @Ralph, quite sad, I wondered if I’d meet there too. I close the Museum I work for tomorrow and start working from home. It’ll be nice to be close to family and trees, but it feels rather distressing, especially for all my more elderly volunteers. ---

It’s from Peter Krebs of Germany, I really love his work but I don’t believe he makes pots this size anymore, blessedly I have had the opportunity to acquire two in quick succession for two.of my favourite trees. This is just the virtual image, it isn’t in my hands yet and I won’t be repotting either for another 11 months. This is the other pot I have on order: ![oval-pot](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/2X/5/5f63fbf21a597373dd2de7ef40c68cab1223cc2b.jpeg) ---

Is it in your hands yet @Silva_Naturalis? Post some photos of the new pot for your Campestre when you get it. 😄 Would be great to see some photos of it other than in your virtual image. ---

That’s going to look great! Big improvement on current rectangle I think. ---

For sure, I’ve put up with that rectangle for a long time, but it will have been with the wait. ---
