ISSUE #7. JULY 2013
Aloha! With the summer growing season at its peak,
interest in growing and training our TRUE INDOOR BONSAI is
approaching an all time high!
We appreciate our loyal customers who purchase and enjoy our
plants. So I try to write and edit the Journal of
Tropical & True Indoor Bonsai so that even if you enjoy
doing only minor training, we'll pass on tips so it you'll
be more successful and able to improve the health of your
plants. I also get notes that it's interesting to learn
how the trees are trained and about Fuku-Bonsai's techniques
that grow the highest quality, high-success True Indoor
Bonsai.
We want to include those who grow tropical bonsai indoors with
supplemental lighting and outdoors in warmer weather. I
appreciate contributing editor Jerry Meislik who this month
reports on the new public bonsai collection at the University of
Michigan. His old buddies are amongst the leaders of
growing bonsai utilizing supplemental light and it's great to
see their efforts to create a major new bonsai resource in
Michigan! Congratulations!
Since we began issuing the Journal, more are starting to
understand that TRUE INDOOR BONSAI is a unique form of Tropical
Bonsai, and in spite of its name, Dwarf Schefflera
performs in a superior manner when grown outdoors when night
temperatures are above 55°F or those who grow True Indoor Bonsai with
additional supplemental light and that's great. Our goal is to
create a "Tropical & True Indoor Bonsai" community that is a
celebration of diversity.
To encourage those who want to learn,
there are TWO STUDY GROUP SPECIALS with sale to start July 21
and end August 20, 2013::

This issue include articles about two Fast-Track Study Group
members: Ryan Chang of Hawaii began with a bunch of
Introductory Workshop Packages, has visited and taken workshops
at Fuku-Bonsai, and is expanding his collection as he has a lot
of outdoor growing space. He's getting better at obtaining
stronger growth and I'm trying to give him the tools to
visualize and create bonsai designs. In this issue, we
share learning (and teaching) by drawing.
George McLean is the newest member from Montana. He's got
some experience and now has the time to take on challenges.
I think the Introductory Workshop Package was too easy until he
realized it's potential. He did great dragon work.
Ryan, George, Russ, Travis, and others are working on or will be
starting a full range of rock-planting challenges in the coming
months. Now's the time to join us! Please email me
at david.f@fukubonsai.com
for more information! Regards and aloha! ~~~David
