Good to hear, it has a killer trunk and base.

sub trunks with red in them are dead and could become deadwood or hollow features

I think this a brilliant tree. My first impulse is to credit a very keen 3 dimensional imagination, because this is just plain weird in the best possible sense. If you let your eyes go out of focus and take it as an impression, everything is just exactly where it should be in the most unexpected way.

Thank You for the praise. I can't get at the tree at the moment or I would post an update.

I'm surprised by the amount of backbuds by the way, almost every branch has a few, close to the trunk and even on the trunk itself. The top might need to come more to the left side and there is some extra branches left that might be removed (looking at you, second branch on the left).

@A. Gorilla - I've seen Vance's tree in person, and it is even better than the video. At the show 2016? the jin was perfect, looked nice and weathered enough. It flows very nicely.

@atlarsenal - I would like to see how the sweetgum turn out. The landscape trees have wonderful autumn color, most as bonsai have had difficulties with getting proportions right.

Getting impatient for spring to arrive. Satsuki 'Kegon' picked up from David Kreutz in May of 2018

Spring is trying to happen in my garden. Trees don’t know it’s going down to 21 Tuesday morning. Glad I haven’t started repotting, but it’s becoming a squeeze play. Corkbark Chinese Elm in a Koyo.

Somewhat grouped...the accent is bigger than the chojubai, but I noticed it’s blooming, so it’s in.?

Grafted to this Toyonishiki. ? to the greenhouse it goes.

They're still talking about more snow. Anyone have a good recipe for a large rodent known as a ground hog?

De-bone, tenderize, batter (with lots of cajun seasoning), sear.

Another chop for my bald cypress up here in the north.

This pieris is getting ready to explode with blooms, first time it's been allowed to bloom since in a pot. Excited I am!
