Parthenocissus

Blue pot was chosen to contrasts with the red leaves.

Boston ivy or virginia creeper?
That's awesome, good idea on the light blue pot too.

Fantastic tree and some time spent on that trunk. If its boston hats off. The blue would strike with the Autumn tones very well.

That looks like a nice tree Anthony. I would prefer it in a smaller deeper pot though.

I think you are right Mike,here is the tree at the same club show ,a year or two before... using a slightly deeper pot and and smaller one to boot.

Definitely more presence in my little opinion(good call there mate)...still love his tree but :)...cheers
