Handcrafted in the USA we turn used wine barrels into this tall urn style garden planter with a cedar bottom. General rules in selecting the right size container for your plants are that the container should be about twice the size of the root ball of the plants. This particular planter is great for shrubs or trees and would make a beautiful and rustic addition to your home and garden. Barrel rings may come in silver OR black. We cannot guarantee which color you will receive. Some barrels may have wood rings, rather than metal ones, or a combination of both. Barrels may or may not have wine stains, scuffs, makers marks or other blemishes. These are NOT considered a defect. Photos shown are a representation of the barrels and are not a photo of the exact barrel you will receive.
