This is a little tree that came in a group of trees I got from Don Blackmond last winter. I repotted the tree after it came in, the pot was intended to help he tree to develop a more robust root system. It will be repotted this winter in to a more appropriate pot. I really like this little tree, great taper, great bark, nice tree.

Yep, came with a great trunk and great bark. 3-4 yers and the brnches should be in place. I have always enjoyed my inreractions with Don, a real gentkean in the best sense.

Was this a display in the show John?

Sorry about the light thru the window

You can call it what ever you want. John

Nice tree, John! The new pot definitely works with it...Maybe some day I'll have a chance to see it in person. I've told Princene we need to visit the east coast, so I can stop in and see your trees, John Romano's, Carl Rosner's -- 

Nathan, I'm not sure what the "book" says. The "working definitions" I personally use are:
slanting -- the trunk's overall line is more than 30 degrees above horizontal;
semi-cascade -- the trunkline dips below horizontal, but more than half the trunk's mass is above the soil line;
full cascade -- more than half the trunk's mass falls below the soil line.

My list does leave gray areas, I know; sometimes it's a judgment call. Anyone else have comments on this point?

thank you. Its very nice none the less.
