This article was sent to us by Jorge Nazario, the BSF President. It’s a very detailed treatise on all aspects of Bonsai with a full panoply of subjects: an introduction, history, trunk and Nebari rules, sunlight, fertilizer, watering, insects, moss, Bonsai soil, wiring and that’s only half of it! The article finishes with a complete Glossary of Terms. Thank you, Jorge!
On June 20th, we had our virtual club meeting highlighted by an outstanding presentation on wiring techniques by Jason Osborne. It was very well documented and photographed. To see the entire presentation, go to https://youtube.com/video/a-M6NsPOkog
This is an extremely well written and illustrated discussion about Campeche Refinement. Bill has gone to great effort to show you how to refine this tree step-by-step and from beginning to end, including how to apply Lime Sulphur.
This is Martha Goff’s slide presentation of Kusamono that she showed us at the last meeting. Very good descriptions and photos.
We are delighted to forward to you, as a member or friend of BSF, a link on YouTube to an outstanding video by one of our BSF members, Rich Bonn. Thank you Rich for your expertise and dedication to this project. It provides an excellent synopsis of a very special bonsai event that took place during Memorial Day Weekend. We hope that you enjoy the video, and that you book mark next Memorial Day Weekend for the 2018 BSF Convention, again in Orlando.

Feel free to share this link with friends or others who might enjoy it. Our intent is to spread the good word about bonsai as far and as wide as we can. While the video provides snapshots of various Convention events, you have a final opportunity to order our acclaimed commemorative book of professional portraits of all the Exhibit trees in the 2017 ABS/BSF Convention.

Mr. Jeremiah Pearce sent us this email about Basic Fertilizers a few weeks ago. It describes comparisons of three different fertilizers. As a reminder, Martha Goff is our local supplier of fertilizers and her products can be seen at http://www.tropicalgreenbonsai.com/category_index.asp.
Here is the body of Mr. Pearce’s email: Good Day, My name is Jeramiah Pearce and I live in Minnesota. I have typed up an article going over the different aspects of fertilizers. I also include a comparison of three different fertilizers that people use to feed their bonsai. In full disclosure, I did create and I do sell a fertilizer product named Sumo Cakes. I would like to share the article with you in hopes of you finding it useful enough to share with your members, either on your website, your newsletter or magazine. I do have it in .pdf format as well as on my two websites. It can be found at https://www.sumocakes.com/fertilizer-information/ as well as http://www.mnbonsainetwork.com/bonsai-basics/bonsai-fertilizer/ If you find the article to be useful for your members you can download the PDF at http://www.sumocakes.com/Bonsai-Fertilizer-Basics.pdf
Thank you for the consideration.
