ON OUR COVER: BCI member Lindsay Bebb commented on a tree he photographed at 9th China National Penjing Exhibition & 1st Penjing Exhibition of BCI-China Committee. “The Murraya exotica made an instant impression on me as an excellent bonsai; nice balance and movement of the multiple trunks; nice taper right through to the tops of each line; just the right amount of visibility of trunk and branching structure through the foliage; good trunk spread at the base line; very calming, I thought.”
