This is a great time to bring tropical species such as figs to work on. Root pruning and styling are both possible, so make sure you bring everything you’ll need if you want to spend your evening developing your figs.

Pruning the foliage and styling of your deciduous trees and conifers is also appropriate during November, as many trees will be growing vigorously. If you are unsure of the next step to take with these species, bring them along to discuss ideas with other members and to learn how best to develop your collection.

Attendance at our workshop meeting seems to have tapered off in recent months, so come along if you are interested in these meetings continuing. Your committee is considering cancelling workshops for 2025, as hall hire is quite an expense, and committee members give up their evening on the third Tuesday of each month to offer their advice for members who want such assistance.
