The Cretan Terracotta Long Tom Planter. A pot at long last named after the man behind the business! Jokes aside, traditionally speaking; A 'Long Tom' is an open pot, crucially taller than it is wide. 

Thomas says: ''Long Tom's were originally designed for deep rooted plants and have been loved by British gardeners for well over 100 years. Although these two sizes are quite large, both are perfect 'presentation pots' for adding structured planting to an entrance. Raise your Long Tom with the scroll plinth or the less-formal wedge design.''

Each pot is individually hand-thrown and made from the finest quality Cretan clay. This clay is renowned for its durability and and unique appearance. Once a pot has been fired in a kiln for a duration of 3 days at temperatures reaching around 1200 Celsius, the results are a hardened clay that can last for decades.

Hand-made and frost hardy to -20°C. Read more about the process below.
