Lindsay Bebb On TV!

Post by MasonC »

I am just watching a gardening show on TV on ABC and it has a bonsai section right now. Lots of you will probably miss it but just want to point it out.

No need to apologise it's just funny :D
I think Lindsay did a great job. Not sure about the wire scars though. I saw one that had massive scars and the wire was still on? Hope that is part of the design?

Yes my daughter rang me to watch, I did watch but found it too short for beginner like me I thought it was going to be 1/2hr long guess not, I would like to see more. I too was a bit concerned about the wire. :( Will it be taken off later :?: Is that what happens when the wire is left too long :?: sheba53

Yes Sheba,
The wire was left far to long and has cut into the bark! This is awful for the tree and will be left there for a VERY,VERY,VERY long time. If this happens the branch should be rmoved in most cases.

being a former employee of lindsay, i was very excited to see some of his trees again, i spent a lot of time watering and admiring those trees! indeed there was a shot of a terrible wire scar but i think the camera man or editor must have thought it was relevant and decide to show it lol
