This week a large number of good quality buxus were removed from the gardens beside the Melbourne Shrine of rememberance many of them are in my van tonight. If you want some they can be picked up in Preston on Friday

Nice score Gerard

How much would you be asking for one? I am very interested but I will have to check with the minister for war and finances.

Hi Gerard

I am still interested in picking up 1 or 2 of these. I only have a sedan so I dont think I could squeeze any more in.

I could be there about 13:30, if thats ok by you. I checked the address out on google and I see there is heaps of parking out the back :cool:

Thank you so much
Shane

That is OK, I am here (at the shop) from 9 till 5. Trees are at the rear of the shop which can be accessed from the market car park.

Thank you again Gerard.

Im a bit shy and it was a bit of a overload having all those trees to choose from but Gerard was great with his advise and I got to meet a few other members quickly.

Your Azalea was breathtaking Gerard. My wife commented about the flowers before she left to go shopping but I couldn't take my eyes of the nabari :worship:

Wow Gerard, what an amazing offer! I'd take them all if I wasn't on the other side of the country! Still, what a great offer! :aussie:

Good to meet you today Gerard, thanks for the two free tree's.
As discussed I'll give the roots a haircut, let one go for a while and maybe Shohin the other.
I'm hoping that I can do something good with these as a sign of respect for where you collected them from. :aussie:
