Fever Tree (Vachellia xanthophloea) 

Serpentine & ORCA

This is an extremely rare plant from South Africa that has inspired me for years.  The bright yellow against the brown is just intoxicating to me. It’s a part of the Acacia family,  It’s not especially drought tolerant compared with many acacias. In the wild it’s often found near rivers or groundwater, and it tends to need reliable moisture—especially while establishing. In Los Angeles, plan on regular deep watering when young and supplemental water during dry spells after it’s established.

Alluvium Planter: ORCA

25 Gallon: The Alluvium Planter is a swift brush of motion translated in high-fire stoneware. Designed by ORCA and handmade by second generation potters Atelier Vierkant.Each planter begins with a clay body enriched with grog for strength and stability and kneaded by hand. The clay is shaped into large slabs, which are then joined into a singular form and etched by hand to evoke geological matter imprinted upon by centuries of climactic shifts. The vessel undergoes a single high-temperature firing of about 65 hours, and is left unglazed to articulate the clay's raw beauty and inherent character.

The Alluvium Planter is available in two sizes and four earth-derived hues.
