Were you the one seriously looking at one of the two enormous trident maple stumps?

Yes that was me, I did not get one though. Good price and quality on those.

Just wondering if anyone on the nut recognizes whose tree this is?

I believe it belongs to Bill Struthar, known as Forsooth on the Bnutt.

Some nice trees, thanks for sharing. Good to see a show happening. Recognize a few of those Tofukuji pots on display too.

Our cork-bark elm, Corky took third place! Pot by Sara Raynor, table by David Knittle, cotoneaster accent is in a Chuck Iker pot, Corky of course raised and styled lovingly by the awesome Rodney King who actually was at the show as well!
This is our first time at this show and not expecting to win anything we were at Rockwell Republic getting their liquid brunch (comes with a full bottle of champagne with 4 mixers fruit waffles etc; Grand Rapids is literally the epicentre of contemporary cuisine, breweries, etc in Michigan and a very walkable city)! So we missed the award presentation but came back and saw a cup!

Usually they do but due to Covid they're smaller and in a different room.
