Our Spring Show is next weekend. I committed to 5 displays and I’m not completely satisfied with any of these 4, but need to pick one of these four as the 5th display. So, what say you?
Poll: Which one of these four would you want to see if you were walking through a show? Comments welcome.
Ginkgo: last year we had 4 in the show. This one isn’t very big at 19” tall from the pot rim, and shows need a few big trees.
Pine: still early in development, flawed apex, bad pot. Bad time of year to show a pine, but it’s also fairly big at 27” tall.
Maple: still has a thread graft showing, weak right side, and still planted deep to improve the nebari. But, it is big, at 30” tall.
Ume: no reason not to show this, other than they’re normally shown in bloom, and I don’t have a good stand. 24” tall.
Thanks!
