A packed meeting hall was treated to a demonstration by Mr. Zhi Ping Song. He not only brought with him some new techniques but also a beautifully styled spruce. His demonstration was very interesting for all those in attendance whom gained an incite into Chinese bonsai and a couple of new techniques. Mr. Zhi Ping Song The very full hall A very well styled spruce Mr. Song had styled earlier. The demonstration tree.

Mr. Song had purposefully chosen poor material to demonstrate ways in which to improve everyday trees. Some of which were splitting branches to increase bend-ability and also twisting trunks to move branches into more desirable locations.

Not only was the demo excellent but there was a very high level of display trees on display from some of our members. Photos below.
