Kennett Collection Reduction sale

thanks for fact checking me. I knew he had/has shown, I just didn't know if he was the ONLY American. Nice to see he isn't. Who was the first, do you know?

I believe it was John Naka but I could be wrong.

I spent twenty minutes and can't confirm that Nama ever showed a tree. I saw he showed stones at a few exhibitions. The search continues to see who was the first American. I found 3 other forum posts about Doug Paul entering for the first time--his japanese hemlock. In those posts they were calling him the first. Possibly as misinformed as me though. Another exciting bit from my search. Matt ouiwinga entered a trident ror into the exhibition. That's pretty cool.

Like I said I may be wrong.

Or perhaps I would rather them be deciduous azalea.

I'm broke!! ...And I didn't even go to the auction. I must live vicariously through those who did, and hopefully we'll see b'nutters posting pics of what they scored.

It was a great event!
Well organized with cheap prices although cold in the morning.
About 200 people purchased nearly every tree, at least the good,ones in only an hour and a half.
Tomorrow will only be open until 1 pm.
Not open on Sunday.
Thanks to Doug Paul and his staff for providing excellent trees at prices less than Japan.

Fair event! Good to see friends, many BNUTTERS in attendance. I enjoyed myself and pulled off a good pair of trees. Bill is not kidding I was shivering...Extremely cold...As the man said nearly every tree sold before 1pm.

Pictures do no justice to the trees we bought. Amazing fun didn't hurt I was 12th person in.

Thanks CHUCHIN for the pics! All in all it was a great day and fun event! I was able to snag a superb Japanese white beech forest thanks to the kindness of CHUCHIN himself! Thanks again bud! Great seeing you there!

Thanks for the photos! Would have been nice to be able to get down there but it wasn't meant to be.

So how did the whole thing work? Were people limited to how long they could stay, or to how many trees they could purchase?
