A Few of My Favorites from the Canberra Show

Post by Watto »

The quality of the trees at the Canberra show was excellent in my opinion but the display needs some improvements and I hope they do that for next year. The location was also good for me and separated the sales from the exhibition proper, and that is an excellent arrangement so all in all I had a great time.
As the title says, here are a few of my personal favorites.

I made a mistake in attributing the Hawthorn I posted last Saturday to Grant:
CBS Show.Hawthorn.101020a.jpg
Grant's was posted by Watto. See preceeding posts above.
My apology to Grant, as well as to the owner of the tree here. Their name cannot be given.

I think Kirky may have contracted the virus (plumitis I mean)
Ferals being hard to find in suburban Melbourne she has made me go out and do the digging this year. We look forward to seeing future plums from down there Kirky.
