Fall 2016 Contest....Who's in?

[Stickroot]

So how many hold outs do we have waiting till the last minute? I know some crafty old foxes will show up with some good trees making mine look like the Stick in Pot.
Who else is entering and still tweaking. I could have worked a bit more but... needed to get it off my to do list.
Lots of great entries so far. I'll be voting from the Florida Keys hoping my trees are alive when I go back north.

I am trying to find a few minutes to get mine ready. I would really like to play, but I have tore down my fireplace, moved my entryway, moving the salon to the basement and making it the babies room... All while running a fabrication company and trying to take care of WAY many trees! I need a knapp!

Hey @Jaberwky17 I had to share this photo from the summit of a nearby mountain, when I saw your tree I realized it's like you styled it from this view. The tree on the left has been in numerous photos from this mountain. Good work on conveying a nice mountain design!View attachment 121547 View attachment 121548

Hey @jordystokes I hope you will update us on the pieris in spring/summer. I have 2 that I bought this summer, I look forward to learning more about these trees. I know already that I dig the flowers!

 

[jordystokes]

I definitely will. Although I am a little worried about winter care for the pieris. I live in Tennessee so the weather doesn't get terribly cold but me being not to familiar with it makes me nervous. Anyone have experience with hardiness for this species?

I am up here in zone 4, it is supposed to be hardy to zone 5. I think as long as it not being subjected to extreme colds, it should be fine. @ghues I read some old posts from your friend Mr. Mtn Hemlock, he was saying Pieris is a very popular landscape tree out west. If you have any knowledge of these, it would be a great help!

They are popular in garden landscapes but I haven't seen any as Bonsai?

Here are a couple I have in the yard, sorry for the weak phone photos...

Hey @sorce wasn't there a thread where we shared how the trees from the contest are developing?

I found this in the Voter Guidelines thread.
Can't find another thread with 2016.
