2 HBS at LSBF Dallas (Photos courtesy of Ken Cousino) May Bonsai Care The abnormal winter we had this year will cause you to need to adjust your work schedule. You ve already done your repotting and the first pruning. Now you should look at adjusting your fertilizing and any necessary leaf pruning. Usually May is the time for leaf pruning. If you have kept the new growth pinched properly, you have been getting the ramification usually attributed to leaf pruning. The only good reason for leaf pruning is to replace foliage damaged by wind or insects. Some plants with large foliage will produce smaller leaves. Leaf pruning should only be done on strong healthy bonsai and should be done after the spring foliage has matured, to supply the trees with enough nutrients to produce a good crop of new foliage. It must be done well before the summer heat causes the plant growth to slow or stop. The very latest time (and not at all desirable) should be Memorial Day. Leaf pruning is usually done by cutting the stems of those leaves (like maples) or cutting across the leaves about 1/16 inch from the twig, (like elms). The trees should be well fertilized 7-10 days before this operation although they don t need as much water until the new foliage has developed. When the nighttime temp stays above 60 degrees, it is time to start repotting the tropical material. Since there are so many different requirements for tropical, I will not try to cover their needs here. In general, I like to put the repotted ones in partial shade and mist them until the new growth starts. Warm humid days are favorable for fungal growth. Watch for mildew, black leaf spot on elms and yaupons, among others. As an organic control, I use hydrogen peroxide in a 1% solution (mix 1 part of the normal 3% commercial product with 2 parts water). Baking soda is also recommended. Aphids, spider mites, and scale continue to be the most prevalent insects. The foliar feeding of fish emulsion, liquid kelp, molasses, and apple cider vinegar (1 tablespoon of each per gallon of water) is all the control I use for them. Scale is the most difficult because it is covered with a waxy coating (hence the name scale). You may need to use a horticultural oil, mixed as directed on the label. Be sure that the direction you read is for summer use, as some have two dosages given, one for dormancy - usually the first and strongest - and one for summer. Don t use oil on buttonwood or any other plant not included on the label. A systemic applied to the root zone according to the label may be used. Don t stick a stem in your mouth if you use systemic or other chemicals. If you see damage to the foliage or the plant is not doing well, look for other problems. If you don t recognize the culprit, ask you favorite nurseryman for help. A lot of root problems (insects or fungi) look like undernourished trees. Start checking your pots to see if the sun is heating them up. Our summer sun shining on dark pots can make the soil temperature soar and kill the roots. Try putting your hand on the pot. Roots are living organisms and cannot take high temperatures any more than you can. Heating also dries out the soil, so you need to water more often. Any number of ways of keeping the pots cool will work, as long as they prevent the sun from scorching them. I don t recommend the aluminum foil method because I don t care to have the reflected sunlight blinding my eyes. A simple cloth with a slit to go around the trunk works fine. A shade cloth should be used on the western side to protect the bonsai from late afternoon (2-5pm) sun.
3 Remember all the work that you did in the spring? Keep the new growth trimmed so that you haven t wasted your time. While trimming or watering, check the wiring periodically and remove it before it damages the branch. If the branch springs back some, rewire it. If you are not on a regular organic foliar/drench feed schedule, be sure to use fertilizer cakes with supplemental feeding with a good liquid fertilizer, one that includes the minor elements, such as the Hollytone type made by Espoma. Most bonsai I see are malnourished. The liquid water soluble fertilizer gets washed out with the next watering and the tree starves until the next infrequent feeding. Time to consider becoming more proficient at your hobby. You can learn all the rules but without practice, the performance is not so desirable. You need to learn how to recognize the bonsai within the raw material you are starting with. This experience can only be learned from beginners classes, workshops and the clubs study groups. If you are not a beginner, try teaching some beginners, as the teacher learns as much as the students when repeating his lessons. Visit conventions, especially the local state conventions, and discuss trees with others who share your passion for a particular style or species. John Miller John Miller, who writes a monthly column for the Bonsai Society of Dallas and Fort Worth Bonsai Society, has agreed to share his column with us. We need to make adjustments for our warmer and damper climate, with earlier springs, longer summers, late fall and erratic winters. President s Letter As we expected, the LSBF convention in Dallas was a great success. We had over 20 attendees from Houston and provided all of the entries in the Texas Talent contest. I thoroughly enjoyed the two workshops I took and I came home with some great workshop trees. The three artists were all very talented and taught us a lot about the material that we were working on. As always, the highlight of the convention (with the possible exception of the Pub Committee meetings) was the exhibit of top quality trees from across the state. Hoe Chuah won Best Broadleafed Evergreen award Mr. John Miller, a long time contributor to our Texas Bonsai Care column. Here is his latest portrait at the LSBF 2017 Convention in Dallas (Photo: Joey McCoy) Houston was well represented in the exhibit. Dr. Hoe won the award for Best Broad Leafed Evergreen for his Wakaebisu azalea, and
4 Vern Maddox won the Best Display award for his suiseki display. Vern Maddox won Best Display award. Howard and Sylvia Smith from Dallas displayed their Ash juniper, King of the Hill, (shown below) for the first time at a state convention. This is a collected tree that has been styled over many years to the point where I believe it is the finest Texas native bonsai ever developed. If you ever get a chance to see it, it will be time and effort well spent on your part. Once again this year, the HBS Spring Show Saturday May 6 from 10AM to 7PM and on Sunday May 7, from 10AM to 5PM. I hope each of us will bring a tree or two, and come join in the fun talking to the many visitors about bonsai. Bring your family to enjoy the cultural events, Taiko drum shows, fashion shows, songs and dances, many martial art competitions and musical symphony throughout the two days. There will also be a lot of games for the young and old, and delicious foods and drinks to relish too. The Japanese Garden, where our exhibit will be held, is quite beautiful at this time of year, with fresh maple foliage in all colors and a sea of irises in bloom. There will be a tea ceremony at the tea house, in front of the big pond and waterfall. Right in front of our exhibit, there will be a tent dedicated to an Ikebana exhibit, the traditional Japanese Art of flower arrangement. See Dr. Hoe at the May meeting to sign up for this fun event. Last month Hurley gave a great lecture on managing pests and diseases in our bonsai. With a program like this one, I would challenge each of us to spend some time thinking about the lessons presented and taking his advices to heart. A question for you: What have you changed about your approach to managing the health of your bonsai based on what Hurley presented to us? Have you committed to dormant season spraying? Do you know how to protect your bald cypresses from sudden death via root mealy bugs? Are you practicing the principles of Integrated Pest Management? What is your overall strategy for controlling insects and fungi? Hurley addressed all of these questions for us and would be happy to advise you on how to implement those practices to improve the health of your trees.

5 hosted by Bonsai Society of Dallas April 6-9, 2017 The best bonsai trees in the LSBF in 2017 were displayed at the Exhibit in Dallas. All members of the LSBF had the opportunity to share their best bonsai trees, accent plants and viewing stones. For the Excellence in Bonsai Recognition Awards, the trees were judged by the guest artists Bjorn Bjorholm, Daisaku Nomoto and Juan Andrade in the following categories: Conifer, Tropical or Semi-Tropical, Deciduous, Broadleaf Evergreen, Texas Native and Best of Show. For this exhibit only, the hosting Dallas Club has chosen a special recognition category, Best Display.

7 Mark Bynum of Fort Worth won Best Conifer for his romantic display (below) Joey McCoy received Best Deciduous award for a Cedar Elm (above) and Best Tropical award for a Podocarpus yamadori (below) There are many more wonderful photographs of the LSBF 2017 exhibit to be shared in the next issues. My deepest appreciation to Ken Cousino of HBS and Joey Mc Coy for sharing their very professional photographs of the convention exhibit with the all bonsai lovers. Shawn Nguyen
8 HBS Spring Show at Japan Fest For many decades, HBS held a Spring Show at the old facility in Hermann Park, but when the conference room was no longer available, we started a new tradition: A display tent inside the Japanese Garden, in Hermann Park, in conjunction with Japan Fest. This year, we will be provided storage for the bonsai in the evening, so the volunteers won t have to bring the trees for display and take them home in the evening. This year, Dr. Hoe Chuah will be in charge of coordinating the volunteers and setting up the exhibit. Hope many of HBS members can participate in this fun cultural event and have a chance to spread Bonsai joy to the public. Please sign up with Hoe at this coming May meeting and start getting your trees, stands and accent plants ready for show. Here is a photo of Dean, Scott and Anthony chatting with bonsai aficionados in the previous Spring Show. Come out and have a lot of fun with us!
