Since we're well into the month of July now, we all had an extra week or so to browse through the many potential items we would like to sell off for the club's Silent Auction this coming Thursday evening on July 11th.

Tree Tips

Use every opportunity to improve the trees. Every time you touch or water your trees ask yourself what you can do to make them better.

Once again, the Midori Bonsai Club put on a very successful and entertaining Cherry Blossom Festival this past weekend. And just in time for this spring's new bonsai experiences, Christian Sierra will be sharing with the club everything you wanted to know about bonsai soils, watering, and fertilizers.

The days are longer and warmer, and the sun angle has been sneaking up on us, so we need to get into watering mode now, in earnest, as the growing season is in full swing.

March is a beautiful month to me, signs of our trees pushing their new growth, with swollen new buds, and emerging leaves bursting out. Yes, spring is slowly showing its face for us bonsai enthusiasts.
