small beauty

@JudyB plan now for January 2022 to go the California Shohin Convention. I went for a few hours to the one last January, and ran into Dmoke, Bill Valavanis, Jim Gremel, Eric Shrader, Jonas Duiprich, Peter Tea, Peter Mancazeb, Chris from Telperion farms, David Knittle, among others. For me, I wasn’t actually planning to go, but I was in California, within easy driving distance, and I’m really glad I went. Since you like the small trees, I think you’d enjoy it, too.

It will now depend on how this crisis shakes out. So far it's threatening our retirement plans along with much else. Would be thrilled to see that show, my shohin idols are all there, I'm sure.

To be honest, the actual show is better at the National Show in Kannapolis. There was a larger pool of vendors and workshops in California.
 
Wow, these are some outstanding trees, outstanding pots, and great pairings! I'm hoping to have some shohin this nice in maybe 10-15 years. I'm also impressed that you could even find some of these trees, at least on the West coast they are rare (maybe not in California though), like the kadsura and silverberry. I also love the funky Deshojo.

I have been lucky in finding these species here for sure. It's something I work at, I love the rarer things.... Thank you for the comment about the pairings, it is something that I studied on for some time before I understood it in an intuitive way.
 
I’m generally not a fan of boxwood, but that trunk is really nice with the texture, hollows and nebari.

Killer tree.

yeah I’m not a huge fan except for kingsville, but I had a nice one of those for years and they grow so slow it’s like a plastic replica, it never changes. But this one has a good growth rate, not that I’m a fan of its growth structure. But if you keep after it, you can do things to it all year. :cool:
