5 yo rosemary tree, grown from seed, barely survived brutal frostbite (below -30) couple years ago resulting in much, much more asymmetry. We should probably transplant it soon, just no container of suitable size to be found now. I should probably start making those.

Looks surprisingly nice!

Side question:
Where do you get your containers?
Prices where I live are outrageous.
30€ for a small one - come on, it is just a piece of crude pottery!

These are just some crappy office supplies, 2 eur each, with holes drilled through their bottoms with a sheet metal drill bit in an electric screwdriver. I am looking at buying clay and firing it myself, or casting geopolymer lye/clay/cat litter crystals, containers are not just expensive, there is no place that sells them locally. I might become local bonsai evangelist if I step over my imposter syndrome (well, I am one, I suppose) and get non-negative balance on my bank account to start something.
