STOLEN BONSAI

Posted on September 1, 2011 by Mike Jones

Korean Hornbeam stolen overnight at the Bath and West garden show. This fine Bonsai belongs to John Trott, aka Mendip Bonsai.

Please do get in touch if you believe you have any knowledge of its whereabouts, or indeed if you hear anything that may assist John to recover his tree. I have included a picture below for reference purposes.

Seasonal care guides

Just a quick note to let you know that I have just posted the monthly Bonsai Care Guide for June on my Website. Feedback on the info and links would be appreciated.

It's time to check wired trees

With summer approaching it is now time to check all the trees that were wired earlier in spring.
My Larches and maples have put on sufficient growth for wire to start biting in, so wire needs to be removed to prevent scarring.  I generally advice to cut the wire rather than try to unwind it.

So windy

At the moment it seems all I do is watering.  This windy weather is really drying out the pots, especially the little shohin and mame bonsai need water up to three times a day.
I am trying to keep my maples (and Hornbeams)sheltered from the wind to prevent leaf burn.
Lets hope for some nice calm sunny days soon.

Chinese Elm Tanuki Update

It's nearly a year now since I started this little tanuki from a cutting.  The video shows how the tree is doing and gives an outline to further development.
Enjoy!

Chinese Elm Landscape Planting

I have just submitted my final picture for the latest Wee Trees Forum Challenge.
This was a fun project and I am pleased with the outcome.

Bonsai Stolen in the Yorkshire Area

Bonsai stolen in the Yorkshire area. Please follow the link below to the Internet Bonsai Club for further details. Giving exposure such as this makes these trees much harder to move. Please … if anyone thinks they may be able to help recover them, contact the owner (details on linked thread).

Please do consider getting your Bonsai security chipped. I realise this does not prevent them being stolen but does make identification easier.
