I need to repot a young pomegranate tree; planter cracked.
Not ready to put it in the ground yet; maybe not at all; depends on redesign of area.
Very large planters are pricey, so wondered if large redwood planter would do the trick.
Any experience out there?

I'd always choose a wooden planter over pottery... wooden planters ere
fairly simple to construct from a section of privacy fence,
redwood/cedar both work well... how intricate depends on your
creativity.
