Thors comment: 

"This pot has a very wide rim, which I have draped with a blend of red earthenware clay and stoneware clay to create a sense of the height of a finished bonsai pot.

It has wiring holes all around the rim, as well as one drainage hole and several wiring holes underneath.”

About this edition: on the edition: "GROWING POTS”

Why shouldn’t a growing pot be beautiful and made out of stoneware?

Why should a growing be something you simply hide away while your tree is developing?

With this edition, I have designed a collection of pots specifically for growing and training bonsai trees, giving them the space, lots of wiring holes, and conditions they need to grow strong before eventually being planted into a bonsai pot. These are the same pots I use for my own trees, I usually use them freeland as well.

I have deliberately given these pots an expression that clearly separates them from bonsai pots. They are not meant to imitate a finished bonsai container. They are growing pots and they are meant to look different.

This might become one of the most useful pots in your collection. Once you move your tree into its bonsai pot, you can simply reuse the growing pot for another tree.

And perhaps, instead of being hidden away somewhere in the garden during the growing years, it will have a place of its own right in the centre of your garden.

This is the first time I have created a collection like this, and I am very curious to see what you think of it, and whether you will appreciate the idea as much as I do.
