Exhibition trees at JoB

I have'nt got many photos of the exhibition. Too much shadow. If anyone would like to post theirs...Tony's Yew, now Dan Bartons

Curly Hazel accent

Russ's Juniper

Another Yew

There was a fantastic shohin composition. I was unable to get a pic of the whole thing. White pine.

Zelkova.

This your fella, Will?



If so, it was created by another IBCer (and Mrs FellowIBCer) who hopefully can be persuaded to post it here as he took much superior pics to us by dint of having a real fancy dan lighting set-up and what looked like a belisha beacon on top of his camera.

can't forget Paul Finch's tree

Some others:

A huge Elaeagnus




The willow in Harry's pic was by Simon Temblett. As well as being a stunning tree, please note that the pot and table were also made by Simon.




Russ Farley's full display








Hey Harry. Are you trying to sook in with Mr Tickle with that new avatar?

And, there have been threads on the IBC in the past about the suitability of Hinoki Cypress for bonsai. No arguing with this fella. Approx 38"-40" height I'd say.

Heres a hawthorn.

Have some. Very late. Will post tomorrow.

Mark and Ritta very kindly took some pics of my trees and emailed them to me. Along with mine they sent theres and a bit of info to go along side. Their six shohin display, from the top down consists of. White Pine Zuisho, Pyracantha,Zelkova, Trident and Chinese Elm raised from a cutting over 20 years ago. On the right hand side is a Red Pine

Thought I'd show this first. Ahumble little Larch seedling, some 20 odd years ago. With good care and a little luck.........

......This can be achieved. The Larch as it was yesterday. Pot by Dan Barton

My little Blackthorn

Its 2 flowers opening just in time.

My English Elm. Which although badly positioned, gained a place at the Best of British next spring.

What do you mean by "badly positioned"? Its branch structure, planting angle or literally where it was located in the room at JoB? Can't see how it would be much to do with the former two there.

Some stunning trees, thnks for everyone who posted. That Simon Temblett sure is a slacker underachiever, isn't he...

Love the Blackthorn, Will.

It had to be placed right infront of that piece of wood, as there was little space but hey ho

Ah right, with you now. Here is my pic of the full display and yes the upright does rather detract now that you mention it. On the day, I was admiring the tree from close up so didn't notice it. Hopefully others were doing the same.
