Jonas Dupuich will be coming to our first Thursday meeting in April to set matters straight regarding progressive pine development.

Spring doesn’t wait on storms. Its pushing everywhere.

The yardadori dig was a success! Read more about the crazy day of digging and cutting.

March is when the Bay Area starts seeing our first signs of spring weather, and with that, new growth starting to appear on our bonsai trees.

Best rain year in recent memory. And snow at the higher elevations! Even with the cold weather most trees are popping and we only have a short window open to transplant certain trees.

Two bonsai very rare opportunities this month. You do not want to miss these!

Also, lots of clubs are announcing their 2023 shows. Check them all out!

After much discussion with our board of directors regarding the cancelation of our first Thursday meeting, we decided to reinstate January's Tree Improvement Program to this month’s first February meeting.

We should have plenty of water this year even if we don’t see much in the next couple of months. Still I hope there is more on the way in February and March.

For this newsletter, there are some very big bonsai events coming up that are worth highlighting. Hope you can attend some or all of them!

I’m hoping that everyone’s Christmas and holiday season was filled with family joy, and the spirit that all is well fills you as we move into another bonsai club year.

Each time we transplant gives us another opportunity to improve our tree’s nebari and accelerate the growth and development of our trees.

Wishing everyone a happy new year from all of us at Midori Bonsai.

Here we are at the end of another year with the Midori Bonsai Club—often a time of year when we get a chance to reflect on what our lives have experienced or accomplished.

We had decent storms in November to start the rainy season, here are some tips to prepare your trees for the winter.

Some images from the Pacific Bonsai Expo, a scholarship for that aspiring college student, and more.

We are privileged have Bonsai Mike Pistello share his bonsai knowledge with us in November. The Christmas Party will be here before you know it, and some photos from our show.

This month there will be a show you will not want to miss: The Pacific Bonsai Expo. Also, Fall Tree Tips and more.

Well, I had a wonderful time at the show. How about all of you?!

Here are some photos from the show, and more!

By the time most club members read this newsletter, our show will have been completed. And hopefully, everyone had a great time sharing the day together along with our friends and guests.

In late October, as the deciduous trees turn color, they signal that the tree is cutting off contact with the leaves.
