Hi I have a lot of diff. sized pots,I saw where you have lacecap ,Are these cuttings? or do you have any started,I usually do cuttings but I am afraid they wouldn"t get going before it gets cold,And I saw several things on your list that interests me Thanks Marcella

I think the plastic pots that one would need to hang up, like I need, would crack if you drill holes in them, right? I think the black pot mentioned above might be a heavier plastic maybe for a shrub?? They sell these plastic pots with holes in them but they are too expensive like $16.00 - $20.00 a piece such as these. I need about 6 for a front porch to hang up.

you all miss my point ... moving a household is insanity ... moving a household plus a garden is double insanity ... been there.. done that.. what was i thinking .... especially in the high heat of summer ... [i moved when it was all dormant in january] so your plan.. as i understand it.. is to move everything you own.. into a new house.. and abandon the house.. while you plant a garden ... and i am presuming the tree is not the only thing you are taking ... maybe i am wrong ... i was glad to have 4 months to put the household back together... before i had to start messing outside .... painting.. cleaning.. unpacking .... etc ... so all i am trying to say.. is this tree really a priority ...???? now.. why do you know about the house and all already ... building??? .. is there an option to go plant it now... are there facts we dont know ... when i moved.. between the accepted offer in oct. .. and the closing in late dec ... we were allowed to deliver 1500 potted hosta to sit outside the barn ... also i had many local friends who adopted garden plants ... plant sitter if you will .... which gave me the luxury of 'time' .... at least it sounds like your move is local .... mine was 65 miles ... this is not a rare tree.. and there are much higher priorities in moving... sacrifice the tree if need be ... BTW... you cant plant it in august... it will have to be held ove, until the next proper planting time.. in fall good luck.. whatever you decide ... ken PS: just cuz the nursery would leave it in the pot until sold.. does not make it right.. they most likely have hirelings to water them 2 or 3 times per day ...

Also: If re-potting is recommended, would this be a suitable pot? http://www.noveltymfg.com/Products/SquarePlanters/EllaSquares/tabid/223/Default.aspx It has "water-minder" feature that somehow collects water and re-feeds it to the plant automatically. Here's the description from the website: "ArtStone Planters have an intricate self-watering system that, in an indoor environment, refeeds water to the plant via its roots. The system has a bottom reservoir in which water accumulates and allows the plant to grab refreshment when needed. The water-minder disk is glued to the bottom of the planter and secured by a peg in the middle, assuring a tight fit so the water feature does not free itself from the planter."
