None of their really good trees are for sale. The cedar group in the first pic was grown by Greta Breznev also from BSV, it used to be beautiful when all the jins were maintained, looks to be a bit swamped by moss these days.

Re: Garden World, Melbourne
Hi Craig, is Dot King the lady who you think may have grown the 3 radiatas that I have been working on at various times? There is similarities in the trunk styling, the tree at Garden World must be 20 years older though.craigw60 wrote:The old radiata at garden world was grown by Dot King who was one of the early BSV members.

Hi Mojo, no Dot King goes way back, I never met her but have heard lots about her from other older members. I reckon your pines came from Mary Barker.

Re: Garden World, Melbourne
Hi, That Radiata is a true inspiration. I have a large Radiata that I have put on the forum for advise. Does anyone know how and if I can get in touch with the person/s that created this. Mine needs heaps and heaps of work but I need someone who is an expert in radiatas to give me some advise/help.
Regards
Rudy

Re: Garden World, Melbourne
Man, i used to see Radiata's as a 'pest' species, but my eyes have been opened. WOW! Looks like i might have to put some thought and effort into one little baby i have at the moment.
Do i have a plethora of pinatas?
