An old favourite

Post by Leigh Taafe »

Found an old pic of one of my favourite trees, a 1969 Blaauw's Juniper. The pic was taken at the AABC seminar in Sydney that Megumi Bennett ran a few years back (2005?)

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

That's terrible that someone has stolen your trees, Leigh. Really makes me feel sad to hear that. That looks to be a very nice tree, I can understand why you'd miss it!
