Dalmatian, thanks for your suggestion. I've not seen any square pots around here (well, not ones that are big enough to fill in the area, but that I would consider! Palms! I'll have you know I'm totally obsessed with palms, but don't have one. Do they not get a big root system? My love for palms is the reason I got bananas, because I knew in WI, I'd have better luck with them. But a potted palm...suppose that could go out in the nice months, and winter inside during the cold ones. My mom recently picked up some (gawdy) flamingo/palm tree lights....I'll have to use them on my neck next year.

I was considering getting a palm next year, not sure what kind, but a potted one that could sit in the corner of my deck throughout the nice part of the year. But you have me thinking..... !!!
