we are all looking forward to it, having Michael S. and Craig W. amongst the traders, there will also be some Lorraine Simpson pots on the club trade table for the ones who missed out previously.

Don't forget to put it in your diary, bring your family and enjoy the rest of the day in the Yarra Valley with lots of things to do or you could take your new treasure to the free workshop Imagination Tree is running that afternoon.

GOOD NEWS! GOOD NEWS!! GOOD NEWS!!!

Hi to ALL of you who enjoyed, missed and wished for another one to happen ...

... yes, it is!!! ...

... hope to see a great interest again and many of you there on the day - I'll be ... for sure!

Kind Regards, JRJ

P.S. Marlene, great suggestion re The Imagination Tree's "Free Workshop"!

I will be there with bells on and hopefully a little cash to secure some great trees!!

Should be anothergreat day from yarra. There was some great stock at the last one, wonder what going to be at this one!

I have been waiting for this sale since the last sale day you done. Are there going to be the same sellers as last time?
Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt, yes there will be a few (i.e. Craig W, Michael S, myself) - plus a couple of very interesting others with great (big trees) "stuff" including some very nice pots on offer.

I have a lot of deciduous trunks to take along. these trees have been field grown for 8 years and root pruned annually so next winter when they go into bonsai pots the only root pruning will be a bit of fibre. alternatively they would be great material to grown on for another few years if you want bigger trees
My trees are grown carefully with the sacrifice branches placed low on the trunks to create really good taper and the trunks annually scarred underneath for a good flared root base.
I sure hope there is some interest in these plants

I am certainly "interested" in some more deciduous trunks! particularly ones grown like your trees Craig.

Im going to have to make the trek down from Canberra...I've been saying one day for 3 years so this is a great catalyst!

I quite like the Chardy coming out of the Yarra too!

Interest , Craig, last sale day I bought one of your Leptospermum Petersonii - (Lemon-scented Tea Tree) which had nice overall structure, great nebari, and is still going strong! Since then I've often heard your name linked to recommendations for very good quality stock trees (not to mention trained bonsai). I'm glad you'll be selling again this time and (as I know word has spread far and wide about this sale day) that interest won't be a problem, especially from those who know what they're looking for.

I'll be there for sure! had it marked in the diary months ago when I saw the invitation for sellers interest! not to mention I've seen some of the Lorraine Simpson that were picked up by the club (including some absolute one offs) and these will also go very fast.

Looking forward to seeing what's on offer, and I'm sure that it'll be even bigger and better than the first!

Cheers, Ryan

It sounds like there will be some great trees on offer, a great chance to do some Christmas shopping, especially me to me presents!!

Anyone got ideas on accommodation in the area?

Hey Scott, I'm not a "Local" but been up that way a couple times and past http://www.yorkonlilydale.com.au/accommodation.html on the way, never been inside (large hotel, bar, pokies type place ) so I don't know what the quality's like, but it's just down the hill from Morrison's and a couple mins walk from The Imagination Tree (Bonsai nursery) as well.

I presume you intend on driving down here?

I'm sure some of the people "more local" to the area would have closer alternatives in mind

Good luck mate , Ryan

I have bought a stall and will be there on the day. I have a few large collected trees for sale. Elms, Hawthorns Etc Also some pines and Juni's. It should be a fun day.

Can someone be kind enough to tell me if this is the second that box hill had a week or so ago ??

Thanks in advance.
