There were a few trees that I really liked at the exhibition and a few that I couldn’t get a reasonable photo of and they are in this post.
Leptospermum juniperinum
This was my favorite tree, a small and very simple design that struck a cord with me. The tree and pot are by the same artist and it tells me the story of a tree on a hill fighting against the prevailing weather conditions. The stand was also unique as you will see in the photo below.
Commonly called a prickly tea tree.
Leptospermum myrtifolium
The swamp tea tree as presented, and I presume the artists preferred front, I hope the artist doesn’t mind but I did prefer the front as shown in the photo below.
Acacia howittii
Sticky wattle, 18 years old and very large.
Grevillea shohin setting
Hi Greg
Some very nice trees there, unfortunately I didn’t get down this year. I have a two new pots coming from Luke Parsons, Adelaide Pots (via Japan) for a couple of natives. One is a tall old Mel, the other is a collected Kunzea semi cascade.
Not sure if its too late to repot natives in the coming weeks?
Regards

Hi Paul,
Funny enough I have a pot coming from Luke also but I’m not in a hurry as I plan to repot in October. Definitely too late for potting natives where I live and you would be getting close to. In reality you didn’t miss much at the exhibition, it was only average.
Cheers
Greg
