As a newby this will be a great day to check out what other people are doing & get to chat to experienced growers as well. Looking forward to it

[bonsaikidnz]

Can't agree with you more dp27! As a newbie I can't wait too see what's available to buy, and learn more

[kcpoole]

I am already booked and will have some largish Callistimon and Wisteria on sale.
Probably 2 Murraya as well if they recover by then.

Dunno what else yet

There's not a similar gig heading Melbourne way anytime soon is there?

There's not a similar gig heading Melbourne way anytime soon is there?

Not really soon Ryceman but there are a few opportunities each year. BSV holds a sale day mid year - June, and Yarra Valley Bonsai has another around November. All club shows have member sales tables and usually have good stock for sale. Keep your eyes open for notices on Ausbonsai and in your club newsletter.

Thanks Shibui, shall keep my eyes peeled and keep saving my pennies!

I can't attend this year as I am very heavily involved in a Japanese Black Pine repotting day at the Canberra Bonsai Club on that date.

I have found much better results in Canberra to repot Pines and Conifers in early autumn rather than spring.

If anybody wants copper wire I can post it.

Hope the Sale Day in 2016 isn't on the first Saturday of the month.

last year there was a table with some very nice pines. If this person is there this year it will be worth a visit.

That person had grown them all from seedlings and he sold the entire lot to grant at the end of the the day.

Not the entire lot; I picked up 32 at his home a few weeks later and there were still some left after me.

Ok Thanks grant, Thought you cleaned him out.

I do not know if he will be there with the rest of his trees.

Sounds like he gave it a fair go

I think that a few others bought some as well within a few months; but he did have some Cedars and other things as well as some Pines he wasn't ready to sell yet; so.... who knows.

Any how the market day will change every year and as I say; If you see, it buy it, because you will never see it again. This is especially true for interesting pots and old stock.

Fantastic; can't wait!

Is there likely to be much on offer in the form of natives? Missed last years.

Thanks, Fluorine.
