It was nice to (briefly) meet you, Kendall. I never was able to track Ryan down to say hello. Weekend goes by too quickly.
Can’t really pick a favorite tree or display, there were so many impressive specimens. But one of my favs was actually the smaller hornbeam (American I think?) group by Thomas Bjorholm, I think. Troy’s pine (he’s the “Mirai Troy”, right?) was another smaller but captivating specimen. The tall/literati black pine that was in the Suiseki section, by Brian Hollowell I think? Was a very lovely/evocative specimen.
Could go on and on…each exhibition seems to get better.
Hope everyone had a good time!
