This is an incredible Premna, and it is far too nice to risk putting in the hands of a shipping carrier. The tree, soil, and 16" handmade ceramic pot make this a large, heavy package. If that package were dropped, the weight could damage both the tree and the pot. I am simply not willing to take that chance with a specimen like this.

The deadwood is what immediately gets your attention. The massive trunk is hollowed, weathered, and full of natural-looking openings, twists, and broken sections. It leans hard to the left before extending into a long canopy, with a separate upright section of deadwood balancing the composition on the right. There is something interesting to see from every angle.

The living branches continue the movement of the trunk. They twist and turn through the left side of the tree, with established secondary branching and small green leaves that keep the canopy in scale. The contrast between the living foliage and the pale, aged wood is spectacular.

The tree is planted in a large handmade ceramic pot with a soft green glaze and a textured rim. I do not know the potter, but the underside is signed. I included a clear photograph of the bottom of the pot so the signature and additional impressed mark can be reviewed.
