Bodhi (or anyone) lets see some pics from the show.

I am also really keen to see pics & here more of your experience with Shinus molle, I dug a few many years ago but never had any luck. I saw heaps with potential when I lived on the goldfields/wimmera edge but due to past failures didnt dig any, I still have access to some properties in the area so maybe a collecting trip might be in order. (The even dryer climate out there made for really interesting trunks)

Congratulations Goldfields, nice display, with some interesting species. Great day chatting with such friendly members, esp learning how the regional weather conditions effect and limit the species able to be kept. Even picked up some Trevorpots. I could spot most of yours Bodhi esp the large english elm and the equally large peppercorn. The later will look even better with a bit more growth and ramification development, great trunk to start with though - and to here the burnt deadwood is natural :clap:

Cheers,
Ryan

Hi Diederik,
It was great to catch up with you at the show and Tara afterwards, nice display and some great trees …. at home as well! Nearly ended up buying your flowering Cotoneaster - but the "Chief of Financial Affairs" reminded me that we’ve got too many already. :( Got to sell some of mine first and try again! :whistle:
Cheers,
Rudi & Marlene
