Yew tree history

Here is a brief photographic history of my Yew tree (Taxus Baccata) which I bought back in 2002 as a field grown tree from a bonsai nursery and have worked on it ever since and kept a photographic record of my work so far over the past 10 years.

May meeting

Again another well attended meeting and with the time of year plenty to do.

We offered to members for next months meeting either an auction or a bring and buy sale the majority chose the bring and buy, and as this is the first one please support this as much as possible.

To give everyone a fair chance at the bring and buy set your tables up but please do not start selling until we open the meeting 20.00, many thanks.

PLEASE NOTE  as you know we are putting on a display with Newbury Bonsai club on Sunday 1st July, Clive H will be setting up our stands on the Thursday in the hall so can you bring in your trees for consideration the  more trees he has to chose from the easier it is so join in the fun? seeing how he selects the best display.
