Bonsai Society of South Jersey

The newly formed Bonsai Society of South Jersey met last night. Since Tom DeSimone (our President and Founder) is in Florida, Dr. Karen Harkaway (our Vice President) opened the meeting at 7:00PM.
Flex Houvig presented an excellent lecture on developing branch structure and ramification. He brought with him a chinese elm. He uses this elm to experiment with branch development.
Many members brought trees that they considered "ugly". Flex very kindly critiqued each tree and tried to help the owner "see" the tree within.
Next meeting will be a workshop devoted to "spring repotting".

See you then!

Tom
