Pictures from the National Arboretum

I believe this is another Ezo spruce. I liked this one - very compact with great deadwood and a tenjin. Nice tree.

One of John Naka’s California juniper. It looks a bit unkempt and could use some more dignified styling, in my opinion. But great deadwood and it’s always good to see a tree from the old master. Thank you John!

A Cedar elm! So cool to see a Texas tree in the collection!

I’m moving about an hour or so west of DC in Fauquier county. I have a contract on some rural propery near Upperville. Beautiful area. I’d love to make contact with some other bonsai folks in the area.

Nice! There's quite a few BNut members here in the DMV area.

Get ready for them taxes.....coming from a no state tax state! VA even has a yearly property tax on personal vehicles.

Another JBP looking scruffy after decandling. It’ll come into it‘s own after needle pulling this fall.

A dwarf European olive grove. Very cool planting.

A coast live oak from California. Great to see a native oak in the collection. I hope to see more in bonsai - the variety of oak species is something pretty unique to North America.

Another Chinese elm grove on a slab. Cool planting. Bummer about the washed out picture.

That would have been nice. Flying back to Houston now, but we’ll have some more chances as it looks like I’m moving to the DC area.

Oh no...HBS needs you!

That’s what I got on this trip - hope you enjoy. Anyone know what happened to Vaughn Banting’s bald cypress?

Very fond of HBS - I’ll miss my bonsai friends there!

When will you actually move? I want to own one of your tree. Are you going to let some go?

 

[Hartinez]

Thanks for posting Marky. Best of luck with the move!

Next May - I’ve sold/traded a few already and I may move a few more. Some hard decisions to make between now and then though.

Imperial sized JBP from the Imperial Garden in Japan. Doesn’t look as though it has been decandled this year, but the pictures don’t do the scale of the tree justice. It’s a monster.

That one is actually a JRP, and you’re right, it’s huge!
Here it was three years ago in April:

Thanks for taking the time to post all of these.

Lol - on second thought, it might be a yew!
