To be fair, I wanted to buy ALL of Tyler's trees! If I recall, you did come home with one of his, too.

Ssshhhh!!!! Don’t tell!

The one I bought was styled by Matt Reel.

Yes, the crabgrass is out of control this year. Lots of rain. Maybe that's why?

I think Dav4 will agree that here in Georgia we have had plenty of rain, but more importantly it has been timed well. This is the greenest August I can remember in a long time. By this point in most years everything is looking very tired. In the 80s, my first go round with bonsai, a visiting bonsai master only half jokingly asked "Do you guys ever have to water??" We have had to water this year but it has been a while since we have had rain as frequent as we have had it this year

Yup, lots of rain and ++ humidity this year have allowed for a bumper crop. This was on a bench that got watered regularly, but I bet I could take an old red brick filled with some Georgia red clay and set it out on my driveway, not water it all summer, and end up with a sweet accent like this pretty much every time.:D

Next week looks rainy and cooler... :cool:. fingers crossed it stays like that... all of September and early October, 2019 were HOT!

I can't stay ahead of the weeds in my flower beds. Normally I can spray or pull them and I am good for 2-3 weeks. This year it was constant. I remember that hot October in 2019. I was putting on a xc meet. It was 95 about 2PM as the last of the kids were finishing. Luckily they all finished upright.

I really love the 2 black pines, they are looking great! Do you plan to remove some branches on the white pine, or keep a more symmetrical appearance?

At this point, I'm unlikely to remove any branches, but will instead try to increase the density of foliage on them to create a fuller canopy with more pads.
 
Beautiful trees, and great lighting --

Hope you won't mind me suggesting a dollar-store upgrade: thumbtacks, string, 2 bulldog clips, and a big sheet of black poster board...
