PSBS - May General Meeting - Zoom presentaion by Linda Camp - Air Layering Propagation
2021-05-05 19:00 - 20:30
Click Here – Monthly Meetings and Videos
Our meeting on April 5th, 2021, at 7 PM, will feature a Zoom
presentation by long-time member Linda Camp. She will be showing us how
to create a pre-bonsai from another tree by a process called air layering.
Air layering is a very useful tool. Got a tree that’s gone too leggy,
but it has wonderful bark and branches? Air layering can let you shorten
the trunk while preserving the upper bark and branching. Got a tree in
your yard, maybe a nice dwarf Japanese maple? You can use air layering
to turn a nice side branch into a bonsai.
Linda has been teaching bonsai, for many years now, at BC Bonsai, along
with her husband, Jim Beck.
