Itinerary
Part 1: Pests and Diseases
The issues faced by pests and diseases on your bonsai trees, what to look out for and how to treat them. The section will take place in the morning and offer a good grounding on the biggest threats to the health and vitality of our trees.
Part 2: Defoliation Demystified
The afternoon session will cover deciduous development and defoliation. This skill when mastered allows you to build ramification on your trees in a shorter timeframe, but performing it can be a nervous time.
You are welcome to bring along your own bonsai tree for this session, however we can provide trees to be used if you do not.
