Thanks for the pictures, Andy. #8 in the first part really struck me. It
looks
like a Japanese Maple--is that it?

Right, that's a japanese mountain maple - ("momiji" for us elitists) ;-)
It's an example of where the overall quality of the tree is so incredible
that the usually disturbing flaw in the structure is thoroughly overpowered
by the stunning image. This is a very good tree.

Kind regards,

What would you see as the flaw? The rather sharp bend in the lower trunk? I guess
I wouldn't see that as a flaw but a major feature. Anyway, it's a wonderful tree.
Do you know the height of it?
