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.

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.

Cheers,

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.

Hi Craig

I thought the radiata was grown by Peggy Kent.

Hi Buzza, Now that you mention it I think you are right. I stand corrected.
Craig

All i know now fellas is that when it came to growing pines it sounds like the women are whippn ya arse's! GOOOOOOOOOOOO peggy!!!

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

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.
