Happy New Year to all. Many thanks for your past purchases and I hope your new trees are healthy and you are starting to shape them.

A year ago we featured Michael Roberts on a couple blog posts, and here’s another one. Michael not only works with great care and patience over many years but also had the foresight to take photos of his subjects. Which makes posts like these a pleasure.

The post A New Year with Shohin Bonsai first appeared on Kisetsu-en Shohin Bonsai Europe.

Happy Holidays everyone! Take care of each other.

The 11th Winter Silhouette Bonsai Expo took place on December  2-3, 2023. As promised in my last blog, below are a few of the 66 photos Joe Noga took to commemorate the Expo.

The basics of fall work on ume are straightforward: remove the old leaves and prune to silhouette and/or the desired internode length.

In this week’s Bonsai Wire podcast I discuss this idea with John Eads.

Many hours are used every month to take care of and form trees in pots. Both the challenges and the joy are rewarding parts of growing bonsai.

On a recent visit to Wisconsin I was standing in a field with my mother, talking about the prairie remnant surrounding us.

Save the date! The second Pacific Bonsai Expo will be held on October 26-27, 2024. We’ll have more updates in upcoming posts so stayed tuned for more info!
