Ron, in post #5 is that an Acer shirasawanum 'Aureum', Golden Full Moon? Love the look and feeling it gives. I just started an air layer last week. Have been wanting a little fellow with that type of foliage for a while. Don't see much of them.
Brian, your bonsai are looking great! You've encouraged me to get started on ginkgo and azaleas. I especially like that ginkgo. I'm thinking about getting another one.

I'm sorry. I did not get the final results until I had already left on Thursday for our niece's wedding in Myrtle Beach and did not have access to my computer. We got home late last night. Brian has already posted the results and these three are indeed beautiful trees. There were entirely too many fine trees for me to pick a favorite. I really like the Full Moon, Brian's gingko and the Hokkaido elm forest. One of our members had a honeysuckle and while he thought it not quite ready to show, I really liked the tree. The Japanese persimmon was really very good.

On behalf of the artist who did the Full Moon, thank you. This tree has been one of my favorite trees for several years now. Like you I am looking for one similar to this tree. A local nurseryman has told me he will have some in the fall and if he does, I will take some photos and PM you.

What a nice show! Great trees Brian! Glad to see so many nice maples. I have recently become interested as well in the Full Moon maple. Bill V. has some beautiful examples of it. I had the chance to buy some a few years ago with 1" trunks at my local garden center but at the time I wasn't so interested. Have not seen any since then. It just figures since now I want one!

I had a shohin one, long ago. They are very slow, but pretty trees. They do not like dry wind at all.
