This annual event, held this year on September 30-October 1 was notable for the high quality of trees and the wide variety.


Beginning on the left, a Japanese White Pine 'Kokonoe,' a Chojubai with fruit, a Chinese Quince, a Yew and an Eastern Red Cedar.


Here's an Escambron, a Soft Serve False Cypress, a Ponderosa Pine, another Eastern Red Cedar and a Willow Leaf Ficus.

Just 3 more files:


A Scots Pine, an Ulmus Parvifolia Yatsubusa, and a Mi Nishiki Cork Bark Japanese Black Pine.

This is not all the trees in the show, but the ones that interested me the most. I hope you enjoy them.

Looks like a good show Fred!

It was probably the best show I've been in with the club. Everybody had interesting work to show.

Some beautiful trees, thanks for sharing!

But not any good deciduous trees with turning leaves? Is it still too early?

>>But not any good deciduous trees with turning leaves? Is it still too early?

@hemmy ...Yes, it's still too early. Very few big trees are showing any color right now, and those that are are located out in the country.

My favorite is the Scot pine one. What is missing is a good pot in my opinion

The Scots Pine is outstanding, rough and smooth at the same time.
