I'm a little disappointed in the spread of species this year, but despite that, the crowd was good, and still very busy an hour before close on the second day, so I didn't manage to get shots of everything.
Sarky Titles... soz.

Looks great, shame I wasn’t able to go. How was the sales area? They usually have some great trees.

Thanks, I was only able to visit right at the end, so don't know what the sales area looked like on opening Saturday. It was pretty empty by 3pm today!

Thanks Mel.
Some nice trees in there, and everyone seems to go all in with the displays.

Thanks Matt, yes the display efforts have really ramped up over the last few years. It's good to see.
I have to add an edit, I just realised that I named one a Ficus salicaria, when in fact it's a Melaleuca linariifolia.

Thanks for the photos Mel 
I really like the blue ribbon winner - shame about the pot choice though.
You forgot to mention which was your favorite tree?...a ficus salicaria perhaps?
