It's been a scant month for Bonsai activity, but fortunately we've been able to get together (virtually) thanks to Zoom. This month we have the honor of having Mike Lane doing a Zoom presentation on Buttonwoods.

This meeting highlighted two presentations about soil by Linda Rodriquez and Martha Goff. It was full of information about types, chemistry and origins of soil.

This year's 47th Annual BSF Convention will be held May 28-30, 2021 at the Florida Hotel & Conference Center in Orlando, FL. Go to www.bsfconvention.com for more information.

This month's newsletter discusses our next Zoom presentation with discussions of soil basics by Linda Rodriguez and Martha Goff, a short discussion and link to the National Arboretum in Washington, DC, and more advice from Jim Bremer about "Increasing Trunk Size". On Page 3 there are two web links that you will like, on Page 4 is a Bonsai Glossary.

Troy Randall discusses and demonstrates his vast knowledge cuttings and seed propagation. This is followed by Jim Bremer's detailed description of "Air Layering", a different variation of propagation. Also, go to this PDF for a link to the entire Zoom meeting.
