I do not have any information about this tree, but I believe it is a radiata pine.
(not too shabby for a weed)

gday Gerard

I will be interested to know what that pine is you beleive is radiata. the needles look very uniform in size and have reduced well too. I have heard that the radiata needles are hard to control in a uniform matter?

nice trees all the same!

Hi Gerard, The informal upright is a radiata and the slanting is a black, i have done a lot of work on needle reduction on the radiata the past few years, with all the rain this year the needles are a little longer,both trees will be at the VIC show next weekend.Thanks John m

Japanese Black Pine. It was on display at the NBPCA till one year ago. He has since moved it to a different pot and I now have the pot it was in and my Golden Cedar is in it now.

Some pictures taken at the BSV show in 2008

This english elm is often seen, and although the basic structure is the same, the last 2 years have seen it continue to improve. The ramification is now much better than in this photo.

This juniper which was styled by Michael Persiano at the AABC convention in 2007, was recently overhauled in a workshop with Hiro and should make an appearance again next year.

The multiple trunk English elm is one of my most favorite trees in Australia.

I hope I can convince the owner to lend it to us in the future.
