Any chance of a photo or two Mel?

Hi Watto, I'll do what I can.

I've broken the trees into species, with this first lot being one offs. I'm really pleased with the quality of the trees this year! I'll post the winners tomorrow, probably.

Melaleucas, and one Leptospermum:

Ficus benjamina

Ficus microcarpa:

Ficus rubiginosa:


Ficus salicaria - aka Willow leaf fig:

Juniper:

Volkameria heterophylla Formerly known as Clerodendrum:

Japanese Black Pine:

Radiata Pine:

Swamp cypress:

Buxus harlandii
Bougainvillea:
Casuarina:

And the winners are:

Gwen scooped the pool with her Hinoki: Best in Show, Best tree 45-65cm, and People's choice.
Over 65cm Best Tree was this Juniper
with Runner up the massive Ficus rubiginosa, which also won Best Native in that size category:
45-65cm trees: Gwen's Hinoki,
and Tony's Juniper was runner up:
with Best Native tree Steve's benji:

25-45cm trees: Noreen's Clero -


Steve's Best Native:


Runner up was also Steve's I believe. A ceramic tanuki base with juniper growing over it:
Miniature trees are less than 25cm: Winner was (I think) Gil's Clero:

with Geoff's (I think) Willow Leaf fig as Runner up:

with Best Native from Steve (guessing,)
And first time for me, a certificate of merit for my Crepe Myrtle. There's a thread on the progression of this CM from back in 2016, if anyone is interested. viewtopic.php?f=104&t=21566&hilit=crepe+myrtle

A lot of work involved in posting all that Mel for the benefit of everyone here… much appreciated!

Cheers Ryan, I use Exposure 7 which allows me to easily crop, straighten and rename each file quite quickly. I shot them all with my little iphone mini, and the part that takes the longest is sending them to my computer, lol.
