Some of you may remember that I did a series of displays at a large
meeting of my denomination this past June. One of the trees I displayed
is a cascade yew. I had just put it in a nice square pot that set me
back $60, which is a lot for me. Someone carelessly bumped into it and
knocked it over on the last day, not bothering to even seek me out and
offer to pay for the pot. I don't know who knocked it over. Anyway, I
recovered all the pieces. The way the pot fell, one side was punched
out but the rest of the pot was left intact. I have repaired a number
of pots fairly successfully and did so with this one, but when you look
at the damaged side you can clearly see where the side was taken out.
From the front you'd never know there was any damage. So, I'm wondering
if it's kosher to use such a pot when displaying the tree in an
exhibition, or elsewhere. Your thoughts?
