Oooh, I can't resist a quiz... My guess is £3.5k trade. Saw some at college 10+ years ago and smaller ones than this were retailing at almost £2k then.

looks like a huge tree when the image is loading till you scroll down and see the pot,
The Acuba ( yellow plants at the sides ) are around 1.2 m tall for scale -the pot is 90 cm tall - its a really impressive specimen ! It would take at least 15 years of pruning to get to this stage !
this one was imported from Japan a few years ago before it became virtually impossible to do so !
And you all need to revise your guesses - upwards - a lot !

Would it qualify for any SFI options? 🤭
 
A trip down to Kent for the Kent Farm Expo at the County Showground tomorrow.

I was surprised how many exhibitors seemed to be leaving it late to set up, the hall was less than half full when I left at 3pm. Only 5 hours left today and 1 in the morning and some hadn't even arrived.

I always like to be prepared.

Hoping for a good day tomorrow.
What a great day! Met several fellow TFFers, connected with a few potential customers and came home with the award for Most Informative Stand - a really positive days work!
