Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris)
Thank you to all the individual exhibitors at our Swindon Winter Image show this year, again stunning trees, beautifully presented and great to admire all day. We had exhibitors from all over the UK including Michel Brohet who travelled all the way from Belgium to exhibit his Pinus sylvestris in a Bryan Albright pot. Below are a collection of images of the individual trees on display.

This year was no exception, the standard of the club and society displays was again excellent with some very clean set ups and well thought out designs and themes to the displays as well as stunning bonsai trees individually. Thank you all for coming to the show and bringing your bonsai trees to the show for everyone to enjoy.
