January’s Newsletter briefly discusses our November Annual Show and has a link to many photos taken at the show. We discuss the fun-filled Christmas Party’s “Yankee Swap”, and we are introducing a brand-new feature called “Martha’s Corner”. This will provide an in-depth and full discussion of a Bonsai specimen that needs your care and attention on that particular month. In the case of January, the selection is “Bald Cypress”. There are at-length details from Martha’s “Tropical Green Sheets” ….everything you need to know. Each month we will highlight a different tree appropriate for the month. Then, Rick Owens has provided another of his “Tips and Tidbits” in which he goes into great detail describing the “Windswept Bonsai” style. Finally, there is a link to a 9 minute video about a Bald Cypress, taken at Wigert’s. Please note that we have added many additional links to this Newsletter to keep the main part concise and readable, but at the same time, give you the opportunity to dig in……..an appropriate Bonsai term!
