Janet Sabey - treated us to a fantastic demo	The Mallee Root - a lignotuber - extremely hard wood used mainly for firewood in Australia - until NOW!
Janet places the first 'rock' or Mallee Root into position.	Being careful of space and direction, Janet places several more pieces of Mallee Root. The mountains are ready.
The tiny Olive trees were collected near Janet's home in South Australia. They do extremely well in S.A's climate.	The audience had to approve the placement of the first tree.
Two more Olives really set the picture.	Another of the Mallee Roots which will be used as a basis for a Formal upright using this as a false trunk.
Detail of the amazing gnarls and twists on the Mallee Roots	Janet with her finished Desertscape. A saikei which was greeted with great applause.
Some trees from our display tables.	A magnificent Trident Maple- 40cm high
A group of formal upright Chinese Elms	Clump style Juniper
A nicely trunked Olive	Full cascade Juniper
A large group of Pyrus.	Stunning Fig group
A 25cm Trident Maple	Another Trident Maple
