Large Custom-Made Walnut Display Table

[Vin]

True story, I went up to Don's to pick up my first "real" bonsai, and he had a kiddie pool in front of his greenhouse, that had a Giant BC filling that pool. I will never forget the sight of that.

Kiddie pools are the go-to for cheap BC pots...

I am most taken by the one in the second photo of the last post you made Don. I have never seen such muscular flow on a BC. Quite different and lovely.
What is the large rounded canopy tree to the left of the BC stack in the first photo?

Time to start saving up.

Not so much, as I'd also have to buy a few robots to help me move something like that around....

No doubt about the tremendous presence trees like this convey. However, you have to be equipped to maintain and care for them. I admire them greatly but if I can't lift a potted tree by myself then I feel it's just too big. Don's trees are certainly top notch though and I'm certain that's why you have some of them.

There are very good reasons for having small trees...

Awesome trees Don. Love to have one or more of them but space and my back won't tolerate them.
