After the announcements
its was down to the evening's Topic which was -A Tree Critique The
Panel conducted by Ian W,Tony F with Andy and Audience participation and First
to the Table was Brian with his Scots Pine ,Steve H a tall European Larch,next
Iain Q with a Crab Apple Tree, followed by Phil and his Small Azalea
(which could be a Contender to be the a STUNNING Shohin Tree if managed the
right way), then Andy with a Mugo Pine and Last but not Least Iain Q. (I
have heard that name before somewhere!! )
With his Buxus Sempervirens/Common Box (I hope) or was it Buxus Microphylla/Japanese Box. This
was discussed at great length by Everyone mainly because of what presentation
could be added to compliment the arrangement between Pot, Tree and Accent support .Many suggestions very voiced
and interesting concepts .
Lots of Excellent, Useful Advice and
Constructive Criticism was suggested by the panel with lots of Members
participation in questions suggestion and not always agreeing but that what
Bonsai is All about ( in my opinion)as each of us has thier own opinion and in
a way we could be All correct in our assumption
