It is on again, the BSV annual sale day will take place on Sunday June 1, 2014. Freemasons Hall Strathalbyn Street Kew. 10am
(The same old hall as previous sales) $2 entry
This event gets bigger every year!
We have learnt that everyone arrives at or before door opening and all the buying is done in the first hour or so.
The doors will be open for 2 hours only 10am till noon.

There will be about 20 individual stalls selling
established trees
pots
tools
nursery stock
field grown trees
collected trees
and more

This will be an opportunity to get some advanced stock trees and select a project tree for the upcoming workshops with Hiro.

Gerard, that's only 8 days away it's come up quick we better raid the piggy bank and join the queue

Some trees I have picked up at the sale in previous years

Interesting pine Gerard! ... I picked up this beauty at the sale day a couple of years back viewtopic.php?f=132&t=9524&hilit=+floribunda

Yes Ryan, the pine comes from the same grower as your crab apple (Mike)
I have had it for a few years now and will grow it for a few more before I find a pot. Grafted nishiki pines usually show an ugly graft but this is very well done, I think it is one of the best purchases I have ever made.

Got all the pots ready for sale over the weekend, now need to find time to get my 30yrs old plus junipers ready for sale, although only in small pots you would not think them to be so old but the bark says otherwise!! Great Hiro workshop material!!!
Hope to see some of you then!

Just put the finishing touches on a few pines that could go onto the show bench at any show. Priced to sell.

Wish i could get there a big birthday bash at Docklands for me.

Pity it didn't start day before.

Good luck with the sale,any River Red Gums take a photo to post would,love to see a few photo'safter seeing one i liked last weekend would make one i hope just as good.(thanks for showing me Mike)

A reminder that sellers need to bring plastic or tarp to cover tables and floor, we expect some rain and must clean up afterwards. See you tomorrow!

Van is loaded ready for tomorrow

While Ive been housebound due to illness feeling like this then this and missed out on today's festivities ...

I'd love to see what bargains and or masterpieces everyone picked up, so cumon rub it in

hi Ryan
since no one bothered to post anything, here is one i picked up. it is neither a bargain nor masterpiece, but there was something i liked that i thought i could use to bring out the beauty of the tree.

Hi Tien, thanks for the looksy with that trunk in your hands, It certainly does have potential. great taper even through the 3rd and 4th bends, now that you've shown us a glimpse of its future, it'd be great to see the future styling progress (assuming no one makes you a better offer meantime )

Thanks heaps,
Ryan

A couple of quick late night shots of my purchases.
Firstly a cute little shohin pyracantha.

And secondly a flowering apricot (ume), by no means a bargain, but a variety I've been wanting for a while and the trunks are already built on this one, so it's just a simple (ha) matter of building branches for a beautiful winter display of flowers.
