This maple was started from a cutting some years ago [I will try and find out the date] by one of the Swindon members [Robert] He was very good at growing any trees and used pond baskets and pruning to improve the girth of the tree. He then managed to seal even big cuts. Thereby improving the size.
Seems like so long ago now. These are the traders who attended our winter show earlier in the year. A big thank you to all of them for making the day.
We didn’t have a tree of the month at our last meeting. It was our Annual General Meeting. Members still brought in trees that looked at their seasonal best though.
I think I got them all…
First and foremost thank you all for coming to this years Swindon Winter Image Show it wouldn’t be the same without you all and it proves it is a thriving bonsai community.
This burr, also donated to the raffle being drawn at our show tomorrow.
A Swindon club member has donated this unusual pot to our raffle, turn up to our show tomorrow and win it!
