Here is a pic of my hackberry display
View attachment 397228


I enjoy the fact that the pot is pretty much the size of a Frisbee....with a big ol' tree perched inside!! Them's some nice "horts in shorts" @JudyB

...as well as the over-all feeling of "barely there" simplicity, letting me visualize what the tree is offering paired to the pieces on display.....clean. :cool:

Yes those are some hot pants! It's been good in that pot, the roots have trained themselves nicely with that flat skinny container. And if you do care correctly, they are able to be kept in them. I feel the same about the feel, I was glad the leaves were at that correct timing. Thanks!!

3-D Display of the exhibition. Stop complaining about no photos... 😁

I would rather have photos, you can't zoom in very good with the 3d thing

Really though Judy. This tree is so well executed. After watching the video of the show posted on YouTube I def see how well Dennis executed his taper from trunk to each branch. But in my opinion your tree is so dam close to being as exquisite. Great movement, twiggy, elegant. Some of the branches leaving the trunk were maybe slightly thinner than ideal, but your deciduous display was my favorite from what I saw. That’s the tree, stand accent. The whole look was gorgeous.

Would you mind adding a link to the video you're referring to please? Thank you.

Jonas just posted a few trees along with a pod cast of his doing a critique of them. Also a short interview of Nao Tokutake.

When you purchase the album do you also get digital copies of the photos? It would be nice if I didn't have to worry about destroying them.

You get the printed book. There is no digital media with it.
It is very well done if you want a nice picture book of excellent bonsai trees.
I have the book from the one that I attended and its nice to remember the trip with.
