It is Aurora.

It is Aurora.

Oh, years ago, someone told me it got pseudomonas, or even verticillium, and it was gone.

I'm glad it's still there, it's such a beautiful tree, and it brings such good memories. There are still traces of those great moments, and friends like Michel, on the web, like :

Never give up… trees are stronger than any of us…

Really beautiful.
It looks like... a tree.
The kind of tree we would like to lie under, reading a book, shut the book filled with refections of what you've read and wait for the sunset, just looking at the nature around...

 

[BobbyLane]

It looks like the trunk has thickened too...

Lovely tree. I think it would look nicer in a deeper pot without the soil mounding.

Beautiful tree. Please share the Walter Pall workout routine. How do you move these trees around? You must be strong as an ox.

Yes, that figures. My wife says 'you are sometimes stupid as an ox'. It helps to have helpers, but since I have no friends I have to do everything alone. Well, somehow I manage.

very nice.

i got one of these recently i think, or a coral bark green leaf maple...after transport, 3 week drought, then heavy rain for 2 days, i noticed some of the top leafs going brown...about 1/10 of the entire foliage on a 5'x1.5" tree. is it okay to remove that top branch where thats happening or should i just let it go and they recover? thanks

beautiful tree by the way, and ive heard of your good reputation

Defoliate the branch of the brown leaves and this should allow new foliage to grow. It’s likely not dead. Move it out of direct sunlight until it recovers.

Although if you didn’t water it for three weeks it dead.
