The range of species on display entered by club members included Sheoaks, Eucalypts, Acacias, Kunzea, Melaleucas, Tea Trees, Banksias and many more. Photos of the full set of trees on display will be posted in the Gallery page in the near future.

Best Eucalypt in Show award, sponsored by Eucalypt Australia, was judged by EA Board Member Professor Michael McCarthy, a well-recognised and extensively experienced researcher and academic in ecological studies with University of Melbourne. This year, the award was made to Marcela Ferriera for her outstanding Angophora costata, or Smooth barked apple, which looked magnificent, especially with the flaky bark slowly peeling away from the trunk.

The Public Choice award, voted on by most of the visitors to the show, went to Quentin Valentine’s very impressive Nothofagus cunninghamii, or Southern Beech, with votes for second and third going to a Melaleuca rhaphiophylla (Swamp paperbark), and a Eucalyptus polyanthemos (Red Box).

Thanks and congratulations go to all club members who contributed trees for the exhibition, and the valuable support provided by many club members in setting up and presenting the show was a major contribution to its success on the weekend.
