The beginning of Autumn in Australia saw us with a great demo from Ballarat bonsai enthusiast Peter Smith. Peter crafted an excellent fibreglass tray and brought in some lovely old Cedars he'd grown. The pictures tell the story.

The main tree is set in position. An Atlantic Cedar	Peter always has time for a laugh
The roots were kept moist in wet newspaper	Detail of the lightweight volcanic rocks
Any questions?	Kingsville Box was used in the underplanting
The finished Saikei - very impressive Peter!	A juniper from the display table, growing in a false root.
Trees from the display tables	More trees
A great way to learn...by viewing others trees.	And discussing them.
