Yes it has been on here, I can only say it is an unconventional art piece and I am delighted it was accepted in the competition.

My JBP was not selected. In fact, only one JBP was selected.

Here's a pic of my submission:



So, the JBP that got in must be really special!

To be fair, I submitted at the last moment, the tree is in it's "everyday" pot, and not a show pot. And, I had just decandled. So it's not very full. After I submitted, I saw that one of the major selection criteria is the marriage of the pot to the tree. So the everyday pot would count heavily against it.

I'm thinking that it looks too traditional.

Still, I will be interested to see that JBP that was accepted.

I am rather surprised at the total photo in general. Who's idea was it to submit a dirty pot?

Overall I counted 13 pines and I think three of them are JBP.

Please bring your beautiful Japanese black pine to Rochester, NY, for the 5th U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition on September 10-11, 2016.

Your show container and larger flat table for the companion planting would be an improvemt.

Bill,

My plan was to do exactly that. I am preparing the tree for the Nationals, and in preparation for that, I decandled a little earlier this year than in years past so that it would have longer needles.

I only submitted it for the Artisan's this year because I had heard that they were running short of entries. They must have had a lot of last minute entries.
