BSV Exhibition & Sales

Who bought the giant olives? (There were two of them)

[Mojo Moyogi]

Another favourite of mine this little shimp !!!

Hi Antonio,
I really liked that tree too (maybe not as a twin trunk in such a deep pot if it were mine - which I wish it was). The trunk, shari, branch placement and crown all pressed the right buttons for me. Also, the tree is my kind of size.

Did you use a tripod and a long exposure to take your pics? Because the room is fairly dark I had to use a flash with my DSLR handheld, my pics are spoiled by shadows on the wall behind.

All in all it was a great exhibition, I was able to pick up a few nice pots, a very inexpensive but well aged JBP that I'm planning to bend, twist, compress and develop into a nice Literati, caught up and had a chat with a few people and met some new ones.

Cheers,
Mojo

If you are like me and can never get them to strike roots, then you have to I suppose.
I have a tree here thati have taken heaps of cuttings from, none have struck roots. Only way i can do is airlayer
me and olives - Fail!

Hacker and myself drove to Myrtleford and with alpinearts instruction dug a truckload of olives in 2 hours. These babies are big, perhaps 400mm across at the base.

Well, either your phone is amazing or my photography skills suck. I'll have to upload the pics to my PC and see what I actually got.

Hey Brian,
Would have been good to see you at the show, you have been off the scene for a long time.
