NEW BUSINESS
The Bonsai Society of Acadiana had
an exhibit at the Annual Daylily Festival in Abbeville, Louisiana on Saturday
June 2nd. We had great weather, beautiful trees
from our club members and many festival goers stopped by the exhibit. Thanks all the BSA members that were able to
participate and provide trees for exhibit.
RECENT NEWS
–
On our last monthly meeting on June 6th, BSA
President Boyd Snellgrove gave a talk on “Growing” Bonsai. The talk stressed
the importance of growing out trees to their desired trunk size before
considering putting them into bonsai pots. This included keeping them in a
“grow mix”, rather than bonsai soil; as well as being more aggressive with
fertilizing, not worrying about rapid growth and internodes at this point.
Additionally, Boyd talked about dealing with
the methods of trunk chops for growing a trunk with taper and movement.
Finally, he talked about the use of sacrifice branches for increasing trunk
and branch size and healing wounds.
We would like to thank BSA Member Boyd Snellgrove for providing snacks and drinks at the
meeting.
