We are looking foreward to today's workshops with Hiro in Melbourne.
In the afternoon session you can see eight trees some presented by people we all know.
Gabriel, Antal, John M, and myself plus four others will present trees to Hiro for styling.
Jow and Buzza will be there and that is just the ones I know about.

Stay tuned for the pics of 8 afternoon and 8 evening workshops

I love the Question, he gave me 4 choices today and at the weekend I had one short and fat and one tall and thin.
Todays pics, (some names have been removed to protect the innocent)

nice gerard thanks for taking all these pictures

i noticed in that first JBP are those needles cut? it looks like they have been cut by about half as there are some other needles on the tree that dont look trimmed? i have heard of people trimming the needles to encourage needle reduction?

That was my tree Jamie, I trim needles with scissors sometimes to encourage back budding and/or to make wiring easier.
It is so easy to knock off a small bud when wiring.

Looks like some seriously heavy bending gear!
