Monthly Event

Please bring any trees that need attention. This is a prime time to work on Black Pines. It’s also time to prune maples now before getting colder and bleed when cut so bring them too. Make sure you have a table cover for your work area along with tools and anything else you need to work on your tree. This will be another potluck so bring a food or drink item and let's share and enjoy ourselves!

REMINDER: This will be a members sale event. Cash or check only to and by members only. Any Bonsai related item, trees, pots, suiseki, books, tools, etc. In addition, we have decided to present a very unusual program. We normally plant our Bonsai trees in various sizes, colors, and shapes of pots. However a few do rock plantings and some plant their forests and trees on slabs. This month we are going to show you how to make a slab. All you have to do is show up and watch the demonstration. We will then help you create a slab for yourself for planting at a later time. We did this at the Sacramento Bonsai Club and we had a great time.

Sam will be at the meeting. Since it will be an open meeting bring any tree you would like to have worked on or would like assistance with such as deciduous, evergreen, and tropicals as well.

July was unusually hot so I hope you and your Bonsai trees are surviving. It looks like August isn't going to be any better. Keep your trees out of the direct sun and in morning filered sun light. You may have to water them twice a day. Sam says to bring any tree you would like advice on. See you at our regular location and regular time. And remember, the room IS airconditioned ;-)

Sam Adina and other senior members will assist you in designing and/or working on your trees. If you did not finish your Black Pine last month, bring them again this month. He also said that if you have any tropical trees bring them or what ever tree you may have questions about.
