Tree number 2 is a JBP that grown from 1 year old seedling bought from Matt Owinga. It should be around 16 year old. Just repotted it two weeks ago into bulb pot

Tree number 3 is a JM clump. This one is an airlayer from a tree I collected seed while visiting Lake Tahoe. The airlayer is only about 4 or 5 year old

Just the way I like it! Will be there around 11:00 sir. Start heading there around 8:00 and it takes about 3 hrs to get there. Can't wait to see what a 30 plus inches diameter tree looks like in person. Definitely be interested in the irrigation system you are working on as well.
 
I went to the farm to check during lunch today. All the BCs are in full leaf. If we collect, it will take extra care :)

We have other opportunities if it is not the best time to collect... unless you make me work so much that am scare to come back. Am happy to take the Louisianna mixed forest as a substitute. :D

Beautiful trees plus a Vance Hanna pot and a box of Korean pears for the missus. You did good @namnhi !

Hope to see one of your mayhaw in that pot one day. I can't thank enough for your hospitality.
Finally got the BC group potted. I think the placement isn't that bad.
But doesn't like my pics at the moment... Will post some more pics later
