Third Place Tie Announced for The Artisans Cup
Many of you are now familiar with the prize winners of The Artisans Cup. This week it was found that a fourth tree was a winner as well…scoring the same 50 points as the Third Place winner. Along with Amy Blanton’s Rocky Mountain Juniper, the Japanese White Pine of Konnor Jenson will also be awarded third place.
An accompanying award certificate, plaque, and $3,000 purse will be awarded to both Mr. Jenson and Ms. Blanton. Congratulations to them both!

A BIG Congratulations to you and Konnor!!! One of my favorite trees there! 🙂
Thanks Dan, there was also a great contribution from Austin Heitzman, who made that beautiful stand. It was a team effort.
