Hello Bigbabol,

I liked the tree so much, I have been exploring my island to see if we have any growing - chuckle.

Why not mix colour / pigment into the concrete, that way you don't have to re-paint the pot, as someone suggested. You may also test to see if you can use a coat of parafin wax, water thinned with mineral spirits to coat the pot -- AND LEAVE to CURE- Before putting a tree in it.

As to pots, if it were Yixing, I would pay 1000 US $ for it, if I had a tree worthy of such a cost. Presently, I don't need anything past 200$ US. Plus, there is a great fear of pots being chipped or broken during shipping.
[ I have a weakness for Yixing teapots and tree pots - ha ha ha ]

Apologies for the late reply, I am mostly paying attention to my re-potting.

Is there anyone in the US with one of this species. I would love to try one, even from seed, if anyone knows of a source please let me know.

I lost several of this species may be due to the lack of a good environement in Winter (I don't have a green house). I do know a guy Alexandria, Va who has several large ones still in good health for sale and they are not cheap (of course he keeps his tropicals in a huge green house). Whenever you have a chance to make a trip to Washington DC just contact me and I can take you to his place.

We're discussing this in another post however, other than some 'creative' inflation what you cite in those two articles is pretty much true.
With the new economy here we now have a very small but very rich class, a small to medium sized middle class and a huge poorer class. The prices are set on what the very rich can outbid each other to own then show off to each other. The 'bubble' will burst, it's a matter of time.

The sooner the better for the bubble to burst.
