it looks show ready

This tree was accepted to be shown later this year at the Winter Silhouette in Kannapolis, NC thanks to you! ;) I'd like it to be just a bit more dense but I think ok to show. Hoping to have a good strong growing season. Off to a good start!

Do you worry about the tree being exposed to room temperatures for the extended periods of travel time plus exhibition days for the silhouette show? I’ve thought of entering but leery of 5 days of heat.

I would be a bit more concerned if it was towards middle to late winter as prolonged warm temps can break their dormancy more easily. Being a late fall show I am less worried. I have exhibited there before and my trees were completely fine afterwards.
