Wild honneysuckle

Hello friends,
i would like to show here a honneysuckle collected by me aroud 3 years ago, it was in the garden of a neighbour, and iwas told that if it didn´t get taken by me, it would be scraped, so, i done my best to assure it´s survival, as it was the begining of summer, and the wrong time of the year to move it, it almost dyed, but not quite, so here it is for some advice on how to progress with the dead wood, and what pot would be the most suitable for this tree, thank you...

Hello, anyone help...

I think the dead wood looks great as is, but if you want to preserve it, try a wood hardener.
As to a pot? I tend to prefer the brown clay pots from Japan or China. Round with straight sides.
Does this tree live outdoors most of the time?

Hello Bill,
this tree lives outside all year around, like any of my trees, even the semi-tropicals, in the Algarve(south of Portugal), the weather is very mild, just like in California, thanks for your advice, regards...
