4 Madame Treasurer Here s Lyn Redmond, our Treasurer at work on the entry desk. She smiles when she gets your yearly subscriptions in the tin. Seasonal Notes - November Check wires on all trees regularly as trunks and branches expand/ grow rapidly at this time of year. As new branches harden you may start to apply wire. Pinch back new growth on shoots as early shoots start to grow and elongate. More frequent pinching and nipping will promote the development of fine branches and thicker foliage pads. Maples still grow rapidly and put out long shoots. Pinch back to first pair of leaves. Remove shoots with long internodes. Now this is the start of air layering season too, so select next year s starter tree from the limbs of Waverley Bonsai Group 4

5 another and in a few weeks to a couple of months they will be ready on most species. As azaleas finish flowering, prune back to maintain shape of the tree. Repot after flowering. Junipers and cedars can be repotted now. Fertilize regularly using liquid fertilizer in conjunction with organic fertilizer. Leave repotting of natives until November/ December or even wait until early next year. With the warmer weather here ensure your plants are obtaining sufficient water. Regularly check plants for pests and diseases. Do not leave your plants on concrete or brick paving (they get too hot). For those who work on the trident maples and the corky bark elms - keep an eye on the wire. The heavier lower branches and the apex will thicken the most quickly and start to bite in. Let the wire cut in a bit and then cut it off. Then shorten those branches and that will allow the thinner branches to catch up and then do the same to those branches once they thicken. If you see slug trails on leaves, get out the spray and get the aphids under the leaves above. Ants are a tell-tale too as they feed off aphids Seasonal Notes December Check wires on all trees regularly as trunks and branches expand/grow rapidly at this time of year. As new branches harden you may start to apply wire. Pinch back new growth on shoots as early shoots start to grow and elongate. More frequent pinching and nipping will promote the development of fine branches and thicker foliage pads. Maples grow rapidly and put out long shoots. Pinch back to first pair of leaves. Remove shoots with long internodes. As azaleas finish late flowering, prune back to maintain shape of the tree. Repot shortly after flowering. Cryptomerias are OK to prune into shape in the November March period. Trim out the vertical shoots and keep the crown trimmed to invigorate the lower branches. Drooping ends can be wired to shape and dense growth needs to be trimmed out to keep insects away. Pinching the shoots when they are still young is the main task over summer. Fertilise from Nov-January. Young Zelkovas and Elms can be pruned in December. Mature ones are defoliated. Fertilize regularly using liquid fertilizer in conjunction with organic fertilizer Leave repotting of natives until January/ February Ensure your plants are obtaining sufficient water. Put water trays under the trees to keep the moisture and humidity moderated. If you are worried about trays filling and over-watering, drape a wick of cloth or tying-stocking out of the pot and let it siphon out (to a tree below?). Regularly check plants for pests and diseases Again, do not leave your plants on brick paving or tin shed roofs (they get too hot). Special Notes: Never pinch back azaleas with your fingers. Always clip them. Brian Sampson s Bonsai book is available at the meetings for $ Special Trees Waverley Bonsai Group 5
