Some pics from a recent visit to Gardens Unlimited in Va.
Fringe Tree, wisteria, Bald Cypress and Chinese Elm with winter storage shed. Bald cypress




Fringe Tree is not seen much as bonsai. This one is huge and the interior branch structure is awesome.
The wisteria is also large, and was being moved to a location where it won't swallow the garden since it's past flowering and is beginning to grow like the weed it is
The Chinese Elm is a very large tree that is a hassle to move into and out of winter storage--particularly in the early spring with late freezes and frosts. A purpose-built shelter is constructed around it in early winter. The shelter, made of cedar and translucent polycarbonate panels.
The bald cypress in the large stone basin (which is a very old Chinese dye basin) used to be in a plastic Walmart kiddie pool
The smaller bald cypress is a thread grafted knee done about 10 years ago.
