Text Box: You can have bonsai as a casual hobby but you can not build a collection of good bonsai without some type of management system in place. Most people have a bit of management but with few rules and those are not often kept. Bonsai management is broad based covering a lot of areas. The goal of bonsai management is first, to create a serious bonsai collection consisting of healthy trees. Second, to integrate bonsai care into the daily routine of life. Bonsai management will be different for everyone but the rules and routines can be used by everyone.

Text Box: The Pensacola bonsai society plant sale Text Box: Xuan and I made the trip over to the PGCBS plant sale at Larry and Jean Jongewaard,s farm. Hot coffee, drinks and sweets were on hand along with a nice selection of nursery plants suitable for bonsai. Some jewels some that would take some talent and work Text Box: But not a bad plant in the group. Nice to see Larry doing well and Jean looking her normal smiling self. I brought home a great Japanese Maple and a very good Wisteria from the sale. I talked Larry into parting with a Yew that will live this far south. This was a Text Box: Species that I had wanted for a long time. Sure I could have lived without more trees but these will certainly make next Spring a bit more interesting. A trip to a great Vietnamese restaurant after the sale made the trip just great. Joe Day
