Mid-Michigan Bonsai Message Corner

Our first meeting of 2026 on January 15th, 2026 at 7pm - 9pm (gathering at 6:30pm for socializing) at the Foster Community Center, Room 211

Mark Takagishi, will be providing a presentation to the club on his recent travels to Japan. Mark will be presenting on many bonsai and bonsai-related topics from Japanese landscape gardens to Niwaki. Mark and his family also made their way to the remote island of Yakushima where 1000+ year old Cryptomeria (Japanese cedars) are found.  Yakushima is a UNESCO World Heritage location.  

 

Rodents, carnivores and fertilizer

This year I used Dr. Earth Life (there are various Dr. Earth mixtures with different designations) when moving trees to bonsai mixes.  It is organic and inoculates with mycorrhiza.  
 
In the Kisetsu-en bonsai collection, there are several pieces of the beloved Japanese maple, Acer palmatum.
