I recently bought an Acer palmatum Osakazuki which is about six feet high with three main stems. I have transferred it into a slighter larger plastic pot than it came in and planted the pot inside a heavyweight Kitchen Garden Terracotta Pot (made in Turkey by Argun and Son, sold by the RHS), and then surrounded the plastic pot with Melcourt Sylvagrow Pine Bark Mini Mulch. In total it weighs a lot! I needed to be able to easily move the container around on my little garden's top patio.

| 'Kitchen Garden Terracotta Pot' on an eight-caster plant caddy |
I bought a strong plant caddy with eight-castors, made from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) which is a durable and rigid thermoplastic polymer known for its high impact resistance and toughness. The plant caddy is marketed as being able to tolerate a 230kg weight.

The assembly was a little fiddly but easy to do and it has a bit of weight which makes it feel strong. The diameter can be locked with the plastic switches you can see at the bottom of the above image, and each of the eight casters has its own lock.
