Gorgeous three point display!

Love it. I saw some pics on FB, and wondered who's pine that was. Such a great pot pairing. And a really good 3 point. Both trees are very interesting, and so well developed. Kudos Arjun!

The pot for the pine is made by Tomas Gramming. And pot for the Korean hornbeam is made by Me and Raimondi.

Super nice display and individual components. The character and ramification of the K. Hornbeam made it one of my favorites.

It was excellent. I spent a lot of time looking at the display. Really loved how everything worked together! A lot of fine detail in the artistry and craftsmanship!

Nice display Arjun. The hornbeam pot is eye-catching and really adds an element of interest to the composition.

I'm sorry I missed this when it was first posted.

The JWP may have been my favorite tree in the show. The balanced strength, uniformity, layered design... I could look at it for days.

The pot on the hornbeam was almost too nice. If I had a single criticism for this display it was this - there was not enough difference in size/emphasis between the JWP and the hornbeam. If the JWP was a little larger... or the hornbeam a little smaller... it would have been perfect. However perfection is a goal, often striven for, rarely achieved. I am glad that bonsai at this level are brought to the show.

Agree, the white pine is outstanding, very nice display.

I agree with you on the size variance being an issue. I am going to redo this display in our Atlanta spring show and select a smaller deciduous tree after repot in a show pot.

Do you have any advice or suggestions on keeping white pine in your Zone?
I have one seedling that is not going to make the next spring.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
