Repotting

This Lonicera was collected spring 2009 and as expected the whole pot was filled with roots when I took it out


I cut the roots back a lot to fit the tre in to a good pot.


Here it is in its new pot. It is less than 40 cm to the top of the wire.

Noelander Trophy XI

Here are some some my favourite trees at Noelander Trophy XI. Great show!




This pine is by Walter Pall. It's so much better live and it's bigger than you might expect. I looks good from many sides and the crow is very open.
