I suppose standards and collection gets better with the miles out on ones journey so that does play into it...but, I must say...sometimes I wonder what Jim may have thought on the base of that pyracantha. We had many hours on hot mess of root business. The maple...roots are all on the right side. So a slant to a degree to hide the lack of root issues. I may bring that slant up more less sharp. Sergio did me a vert that...maybe one day...even with its faults it may turn into something. But it's sat low on a bench almost on the ground on the back patio. Making it less in the face obvious one branch is where the foliage come from. But...the trunk doesn't show a thriving tree. So I keep telling myself at the end of the day...it will have told its story when all said and done. The creeper...come winter...I shake my head and wonder why I still have it. Then spring rolls around and it weeps...and, I sort of like it. But...it has issues. Again...it could easily be the first to go if I thin my collection at some point. That I do know.There's a lot of "humble bragging" going on here
Those trees aren't ALL bad....well, except for Mike's pine:

It's all relative, I suppose, to the remainder of your collection and your standards.
