Thanks Gavin, I'm happy to say that I can see a huge improvement on display overall, with better quality in the trees, nearly every tree on a stand, and the majority with an accent of some sort. Redlands overall doesn't follow the Japanese aesthetic by any means, but we do like to present the exhibition to the public as an example of good horticultural specimens, and interesting and even exciting stories behind the trees. The spread of species is also very gratifying!

My thoughts too.
I'm also impressed with the relatively high proportion of natives in your exhibition.

Thanks Neil, with Steve Cullum an integral part of the club there has been quite the move to Native species. He keeps finding new ones!
