Which is Mr.Walter Pall's Main Blog about Bonsai.His work with trees from day to day.Many of good inages of good trees and an abundance of valuable information about Bonsai.I would recommend a look at his Blog and judge for yourself (To Me you will not be Disappointed).

The Two Bonsai Trees from Noelanders Trophy 2013 in his Blog

(1) A Larch,Larix decidua by a Gentleman called Martin Nielsen
(2) Chinese Elm,Ulmus Parvifolia,by our very own Bill G.

 Mr Pall Wrote "Both are Very Good Examples of Successful Naturalistic Style".Extremely High Praise for Bill G. From Mr W.Pall which proves patience can be rewarding in Bonsai

Membership

New members are always welcome, just come along to one of our monthly meetings at the RAFA club. You can even 'try us out' for a few months before you decide on joining as an official member. The meetings are informal (there's a bar!) and the club members are (mostly) friendly, approachable and happy to pass on guidance and information to anybody interested in bonsai- whatever your level of experience.
