Thanks.
I would doubt it unless you are a newbie of less than 12 months and have a tree that has been styled for more than 12 months and bound for cat 1.

Sorry to hear about your trees KC, it can be even more annoying when you can't put your finger on why :x

He has too much hair and long trousers, mine have not grown up with me. On Saturday night a mate came up and congratulated me, I was puzzled as I had not won any thing :crybye: I said what for he said I have known you for 6 six years and it is the first time I have seen you in long trousers.

If it is not more than 12 months old, and you name and Identify them as to the position, so we can adjudge to all the requirements needed to make an honest unbiased assessment.

If I get enough time to take a decent picture I will throw in a controversial entry just for the fun of it :fc:
Hmm seems I found a few entries today :whistle:

Bonsai entered so far in the Ausbonsai Australian Native Bonsai Awards 2011 are looking great everyone! Well done so far.

One thing I have been wondering over the past week - what will be done regarding judging of the trees that have been submitted that are not really Australian natives?

regards

They will not be judged unless they are Australian Natives.
