National Arboretum Spring 2019

[Tidal Bonsai]

I visited the National Arboretum in DC for the first time today, and all I can say is...wow! I am opening this up to the forum if anyone has visited the Arboretum this season. I wish I had more time, but I was visiting during my sons nap time, lol!

I even got to be a not-so-silent observer at a workshop @MACH5 was hosting! It was great seeing him again and meeting the guys/gals that were working on trees.

Digging that windswept.

That was one of my favorites! It was very convincing, and had great age!

I am not a windswept lover, but that elm is probably one of there most iconic and unique trees in the entire collection. Completely wired to the very tips.
