Nice. Not too showy.
Estimating age on Yamadori is IMHO very difficult to determine. Environmental stress ages the trees (especially in the harsh climatic conditions that they came from) thus, they sometimes show characteristics of a much older age.How old is the western hemlock & mountain hemlock? They are beautiful.
Where did you source your pot? I like the idea of dedicating a bench for display even in these times when only the owner will see it. ThanksPost 23 was supposed to go on the Hemlock Discussion Thread, have asked the moderator to move it there.
This weeks display. A dreaded Phoenix graft or Tanuki. A River driftwood piece and a Juniper (variety unknown). Accent is Foam Flower Tiarella Trifoliata.
The cheap Chinese pot was purchased in Combs (Vancouver Island) at a business/place called “Goats on the Roof” and yes during the summer the goats graze on the grassed roof.Where did you source your pot?

Thank you Graft and Penumbra......it’s a hobby that combines my 40 years working in the forestry fields of silviculture, ecology, environmental protection and my love of gardening. The majority of my 75+ trees are Yamadori both from the wild and some urban rescues.You have a beautiful collection of trees. Absolutely fantastic. Something to aspire to.
