This one has lots of potential. at the moment it looks quite ugly,
 but it will shine in a couple of years. the pot is by Peter Krebs.
The tree is only 26 cm high, just a bit too high for a shohin. But
it would not make sense to try to make it smaller.

Off to the Noelanders Trophy

Tomorrow morning Alex and I will drive up to Belgium ton the Noelanders Trophy. It will take about eight hours to get there.

I was asked to be official guest and to hold tree critiques on Saturday adn Sunday. I will speak around the clock about all exhibited trees in English and German. My CD and personal pin are available on a small table in the vendor area.

I will try to tak many cool pictures which I will show on Monday here.

I will exhibt three large trees and three shohin. I found that this is one of the few exhibits where one can show deciduous trees at their best. So I will not show a single conifer this time.
