Bonsai trees were brought to the meeting by Larry, Mary, Steve, Paul and Sofia & Mark. Then, we used evaluation forms to rate them according to their trunk, nebari, branches, pot selection and aesthetics. After we had all evaluated them, we then discussed our ratings, including ways that each tree could be improved.
