Oregon collected Sitka spruce [Picea sitchensis]

@ Kevin: ahhh maaan brudder!

now that you have your tree styled to YOUR liking, what pot to you see in it's repotting?

I'm a novice at pot selecting. Is that something you can help me with Mr. Benbow? I'd appreciate it.
I think this one may be destined for a thin rock slab which I may never find. In the meantime I was thinking a shallow oval in yellowish clay.

good fpr you on the rock slab suggestion.! Your right on....and yes it sometimes takes awhile to find a good one. In the interim,

will you be attending the artesan's cup this september at the portland art museum. Lots of great trees and vendors....

Thanks Dick! I do posses one slab:




but find it too narrow for this, a deceptive large tree. I think this rock, with it's lip suggesting the beginnings of a waterfall, would be ideal for a two mound forest planting. I haven't figured out which species to use though.

I will be attending the Artisan's Cup! It should prove very interesting and I hope the first of many. I'll be the tall guy in the vendors court Saturday morning with the overheated checkbook. Say hi if you've the time!
