Fall color, just around the corner…

Looking good. One of my favorite trees on this site.

It’s 46° and drizzling out as I am pulling this one into the workshop for the photo. There’s still not a lot of fall color here but that’s going to change in a hurry.

Almost 2 years.

Yup. Same here.

I like it so much I even asked Dave to will it to me. I also named it "Sea Horse".

Nice. I hope you enjoy it as much as your pines and maples do. Only a few weeks until fall colors pop. Love your stuff and I can't wait for fall JM raft photos so I can use the pics for Christmas cards.

Repotted a few weeks ago and buds swelling now. It was set ever so slightly above the previous level to expose a bit more nebari.

Maybe??? No new grafts this spring but I'm wanting more growth and thickening with that main middle trunk, so... I will surprise you
