With all the fires around, is this show still on?

[Soru]

No fires around that part of town...so my guess is YES

[kcpoole]

Yep was most definitely on and a great show.
on again tomorrow too so get along and see for yourself.
Some really nice trees today, and lots of viewers from the demos.

As usual, I did a tag team with Vince ( one of the school teachers), in the morning.
Great crowd and lots of interest in my torturing of junipers again and many interested in Diatomite mixes
I bent one similar to my Shohin comp tree, and then potted up my Comp tree as part of the demo.

Amazing how tight you can bend Junipers without breaking them and people love to see it don for real

Anyway here are Some of the photos I took, and the rest are being uploading to my own gallery here

My Juniper demo tree is progressing
Looks a little bare on the left hand side but hopefully the canopy can be trained over the side over the next few years

I want the apex to be much wider than it is now.

I can not believe how much that bent! (Hope that makes sense)

they are quite flexible when youngish so not that hard.
