Grampz--thanks for the positive review
It was the IBC gallery I posted it to and that was fall 2003. The tree is still planted to the same shovel and grew rampantly over the summer; it will need to be restyled and repotted this spring. I'm going to do both this spring because the tree is quite vigorous.
I showed it at the 2002 convention in Dallas that featured Kimura as headliner and Shinji Suzuki as his assistant. They also juried the show. It didn't win any prizes and certainly had some talking...it wound up next to Boon's entry which took third place. I'm sure it made Boon's tree look that much better in the judges eye
