Hi, Wendy!

I think someone took pix, but I didn't.

The workshop was very nice, with a few new faces in the crowd. The trees were very good quality for the price. I managed to restrain myself and NOT bring home another tree (although I snagged some nerifolia cuttings).

There was a brief presentation my Mark about the ficus genus and a few examples, including Merida's really really nice nerifolia. I brought in my frankensai to share, and gave away a couple trees that are not the quality I'm aiming for. Then everyone dug in, clearing soil and trimming and wiring into pots and having a good time. More experienced members wandered around to help those with a bit less. I spent most of the time working with one guy, John, I think, and his tree turned out to be a very good start I think.

Next meeting = Picnic at the Park of Roses!
Noon, 9/25.
Bring trees to share, giveaways, food, beverages, and your sense of excitement.

Pootsie,
You RESTRAINED yourself from $15 ficus

Was Merida's the Nerifolia from my workshop there two years ago with large ones and medium ones? ( see picture)

Dale:

Well, it's always hard to resist acquiring another tree. I have a problem and I'm seeking help

Besides, I'm saving up for good material like you told me to!

I did unload, er, donate to newer members some less than prime material to clear the space, too.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but I think that is the tree merida got. It had about a 3" diameter trunk.
