I remember Tony Tickle talking about the hoops to jump through to exhibit, and nowadays only a couple of folks enter trees, maybe we'll get more proficient at it, or some new deals can be achieved with a new government in the Autumn
On the buying side, yeah I think it's just a hassle on the small scale, few can be bothered for a tree or two. On the larger scale its fine, garden centres are full of EU plants. Andcontainers full of Japanese trees are making their way over as we speak, so long as they make it through the gulf of Aden, or the long way round!
Anyway we digress, will be an amazing show for sure
