Casurarina eqiosetifolia (Australian Pine) is a species that I had not seen before ever as a bonsai and I have yet to see one in the UK either. We came across this species at the BCI convention in China and it certainly made an impression. For details on this species visit: Wigerts Bonsai
This unique pot was made by Stone Monkey and I am sure that everyone will want to own it. This special commemorative pot for Armistice Day 2016 will be travelling with him at each of the bonsai shows that he will be attending this year. He will be selling raffle tickets at £3 each and all monies received will be donated to the Royal British Legion in November 2016. The raffle will be drawn at 11 am on the 11th November 2016.
Tropical bonsai is great if you want to have a bonsai tree inside as they are able to cope with living indoors due to needing higher temperatures year round. They are often lower in price than some of the other species of outdoor tree so worth considering if you are just starting out in the hobby.
This year the following traders have been invited to attend the 2016 Swindon Winter Image Show so hopefully you are ready for a bit of bonsai shopping.
Warminster Bonsai is a small friendly club. We are enthusiastic and try to improve all the time. We meet at 7.30 in the evening, on the third Thursday of each month at Christ Church Hall BA12 9NS. This is located, first left as you go into Upper Marsh Road from Weymouth Street and opposite the Church.
Hopefully all of you that were at the Noelanders Trophy in Belgium are all safely home and enjoying a rest. Some of the traders will still be busy re stocking before the Swindon ‘Winter Image’ show on Sunday the 28th Feb 2016.
Surrey Heath Bonsai Society was founded in December 1989 by a small group of local bonsai enthusiasts. As the club has grown we have moved twice and now meet on the first Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm at Pirbright Village Hall, Pirbright Green, Dawney Hill Road, (A324) Pirbright. GU24 0JE.
