Hmm. Wishing I focused a bit more on shohin.

Thank you @rockm! Looking forward to getting to know my new bonsai neighbors. Let’s plan a gathering soon!

Definitely! Hope it's cooler out that way than it is here. Not a comfortable day to be moving large heavy trees...

Lol. My son and I were thinking about how nice it was today! I think it will take a minute for my blood to thicken back up.

I hear you! I wanted all BIG trees just like that. I am having second thoughts after I actually saw how hard it is to deal with a tree that size. I will probably have one or two, but I think they will probably be between shohin and kifu.

It is a nice day. But it was a firm 95 here yesterday. 95 again today. Saving grace is lower humidity.
FWIW, I'm familiar with Texas heat. Have relatives all over the state, from Orange to Tyler to Dallas.

I remember your Texas connection. We’ll have that in common.
All done now. My son worked hard again - but I’m a bit worried about what it will cost me down the road, lol.

Did you have a thermometer in the back and have any idea how it differed from the daytime high of the areas you drove through? Thanks!

That would have been a great idea, but I didn’t put one in there. We experienced highs in the 90s and it was sunny much of the drive. I’m sure it was well over 100 in there - and very steamy. We checked the load several times during the trip. Everything seemed to do fine though. The Cedar elms came out looking a bit wilty, but they perked right back up after a good watering. I think their Houston life got them ready for hot and steamy. Lol.

Other than one broken training pot, this is the worst damage I has. I only noticed it on the tridents and only on a few young leaves on soft growth at the end of extending shoots.
Overall, the tree looks fine.

Temporary garden in the morning sun. I’m a bit worried about the ERC landscape trees. I happen to know they’re infected with cedar apple rust. I believe that shimpaku are resistant, but I’m not sure about one-seed, Ashe, sierra, or California junipers. I’ll do some preventative spraying, but I’d be curious if anyone else has any experience with rust and these species. 
If I understand the life cycle correctly, it’s not the junipers I have to worry about, it’s the apple trees. Fortunately there are none of those. However I’d ask those with more experience if I’ve understood this properly.

Unfortunately, you're in or near a prime apple growing region (Northern Shenandoah Valley down to Roanoke and east through Albemarle and Rappahannock counties) so the rust fungus and its wind-borne spores are around. Preventative spraying is probably a good thing.

This explains the cycle pretty well. BTW, this can infect apple relatives, like hawthorn, serviceberry, quince too, so if you have any of those keep an eye out.
