A planter capable of attachment at a vertical surface to a tree trunk or utility pole. The planter comprises at least one segment having an arcuate inside wall to conform to the central tree trunk or pole. Each segment extends partially around the circumference of the tree or pole. Segments may be interconnected using any one of four alternative fasteners: the first fastener is a resilient cable wrapped around a tree trunk with each segment having a pair of hooks to attach it to the cable; the second fastener interconnects segments using a pair of latches having holes therethrough with a bolt that is secured through the holes; the third fastener also interconnects segments by each segment having a pair of pins extending from the outer wall and near the end walls with a gasket having complementary holes securing the segments; and the fourth fastening means interconnects the segments using interlocking female and male edges.
