A nice full house for Dave's talk.

Dave's attempts to think like a tree are getting a little worrying if you ask me!!

Mark seems to be doing a roaring trade in fleece covers- was Dave getting a cut of the profits?

This months meeting featured Dave Y who gave ( I believe) a very informative and thought provoking talk on winter preparation for your trees.

As Jim the Lad suggests "one of the best I have heard at the club since I have been there"

-praise indeed.

"Dave chatted about how important it was to look after our trees and used items to show the members what he uses or suggests for keeping his trees healthy during winter months, including polystyrene boxes, using a Fleeze or Warming jackets,making boxes and what to put inside the box to put the trees on and covering them up and what to use for cleaning the trees. Also the importance of the Dormancy period for the trees and explaining that some trees don't have one, The use of Greenhouses, Garages and different ways to keep water from freezing up in the Bonsai pot."
