I agree.
I very much liked it at the Native show as well.
I'd like even more information about the history of the tree's in question - it helps tell the story.

Re: BSV Show, Box Hill
John,
I was the 15th person through the door and couldn't see the Scots Pine
You really do have to be quick these days..
Great show, It was good to see a lot of trees that I hadn't seen shown before.
I'm a sucker for pines so I voted for number 45.

Always inspirational.
Once again the display trees were very high quality and the catalogue was a great touch.
Thankyou BSV for a fantastic show.

Re: BSV Show, Box Hill
Gerard - just spent three days at the Goulburn exhibition and tomorrow I'm going to the Sydney show. Now I would like to go to yours, and if you move it a little bit closer to me I will - honest.
Hope you have a great show.

Re: BSV Show, Box Hill
I attended yesterday and had a great time.
Is there any update on which tree won the people's choice award?

Re: BSV Show, Box Hill
Yep I went yesterday as well.
Sorry no photo's taken by me..
Great day and beautiful exhibition with extremely high quality trees.
For some reason the epic small leaved japanese maple stood out for me.
I assume that was Grant's "Ex" swampie too?
Hiro's styled pine and the banner cover was the standout for me though (69 I think?)
Absolutely amazing tree with incredible proportions.
Loved the flyer - but now I'm going to be a pain and say that I like the numbers and flyer combo but not at the expense of the basic details (species type). Ie I think both number and species!
