I spent a few hours at the show yesterday. Both winning trees are great! If I remember correctly the RoR Trident was even on loan to the Chicago Botanic Garden (where the Mid-America show is) last year.

Beautiful trees... unfortunately, the only time I could go to the show was when the trees were being judged. So I couldn't see the show trees, however I had a blast at the vendor area (though I was on a budget).

I can't wait to see more pictures. I really like the root-over-rock Trident, but I don't think the indigo glaze suits the tree well.

Thanks for posting, some very nice trees there.

Do you (or does anyone) have a better pic of the root-over-rock trident ma^ple showing the roots?

What is the species of the two trees in a shallow pot? Larix, Cedrus? I like them a lot, I like this "minimalist" approach, very natural to me.

Assuming you meant the following tress, then yes, they are American Larch. I've also seen them in the winter, they look great too when bare. One of my favorite trees!

Thanks for the reply.

Once again, I love it/them Wink

And the second trident-over-rock has an impressive root spread on the stone, beautiful.
