April 2001 - Autumn in Australia

A Potting Night for Conifers

60 members turn out to work on trees or just watch other members.

Step back in time...February 2000. John Holbrook was demonstrating Figs over rocks. Here the seedling was being placed on the rock. HERE..is the tree 14 months later. Ready for exposing the roots.

See how well developed the roots are. John grew the tree vigorously keeping the trunk as a sacrificial trunk. The trunk is removed and the roots are exposed. Look at the difference in 14 months! John will be training the tree into a cascade style

Members work on their trees Jason gets twisted over a literati

Yuri works on a group planting Cotoneasters are showing their berry colour now. Bring on the black birds!

Hong's demonstration made a reappearance. Louise, the new owner, is looking after it well. A big group of Figs from the display table

A Corokia in the semi cascade style Some of the trees on display.

Take me back to the 2001 photo archive
