Thanks to everybody who attended the sold-out shohin workshop at Dragon Bonsai this weekend. Already rescheduled for next year and sold out within minutes plus reservations.

Started with a talk about seasonal growth and how to get the best growth on shohin species like pines, junipers, Japanese maples and more. Next, we did a full-time workshop all day Saturday finishing with a good meal and a good time. Sunday we continued the work on many trees and wrapped it all up with a q&a and some repetitions to be sure all got the tips and ideas for their trees.

Thanks a lot to Dragon Bonsai, Chris Thomas and everybody taking good care of me. It´s a pleasure being around talented and nice people who want to learn. Food, place and everything just top.

Heading back tomorrow to prepare for the next live stream for Kisetsu-en members. The theme this time is a focus on thickening trunks, so tune in, be a member and I will add all the knowledge I have on this topic. Read more…

Mark Moreland had a very interesting talk in the evening Saturday about a new propagation method he has successfully experimented with for some time now. Mark will. share this knowledge with the Kisetsu-en members a little later when the material for the presentation is finished.
