Re: 2021 Redlands Show
Last but not least. Sorry if I missed any, I took these shots during set up but before judging.

Apparently Clerodendrum is the flavour of the month!
In the blue darkening sky, the moon paints a pine tree.

Re: 2021 Redlands Show
Cheers Watto, Ryceman and Tim. Here the Clerodendrum grows at around 3 times the pace of a Chinese Elm. It's a tree for an OCD personality who is happy to spend hours every week keeping it trimmed. If you're prepared to do that, it'll reward you with excellent ramification, amazing bark, and good quality sized leaves. If you can't spend the time, it's a nightmare, because you're constantly going backwards more than forwards...

Re: 2021 Redlands Show
Cheers Alex, yes the quality of the trees continues to improve each year, I reckon. Thanks to the extra training that the members have been able to access.
I've been thinking about the lack of diversity in this year's display, and I reckon it might have a lot to do with the fact we're used to a late Spring show, and we've switched to early Autumn. All the long term members would have their schedules worked out for their bougies, water jasmine and other flowering trees so that they'd be ready for early November. This year's show is a test for everyone, and with only 6 months notice, hence the trees that can be pruned to shape, rather than anything in flower. I'm hoping that by next year the members will have had enough time to start prepping their native trees to start flowering in March.
It may take a couple of years to get the timing right!

Re: 2021 Redlands Show
Thanks for the photos Mel. I love your Callicarpa display, very impressive. You clearly have a great understanding of display fundamentals and goes to show what is possible, even with such a young skinny tree.
I'm also a fan of the pot in pic 0038. Can you share any details? Looks like it might be aussie made?
