Autumn/Winter Two & Three Needle Pine Intensive Those who sign up for this autumn/winter session for the first time will be given a pair of professional Japanese pine bonsai tweezers (Kaneshin brand) specially designed for pine needle work. Limit of 5 participants per session.
Each participant will also have for use an unlimited supply of aluminum wire from 1mm to 7 mm required for styling your pine bonsai/pre-bonsai.
Cost: $245.00 (includes lunch in Bonsai restaurant and refreshments).
The session will focus on the following areas:
a) Growth habit of the genus pinus and its application to bonsai culture;
b) Pine styling (theory) – assessing different areas of the tree to aid styling - each tree will receive individual styling input;
c) Autumn work for pines – old and new needle removal, selection of buds and secondary branches, detailed wiring of the whole tree;
d) Pine maintenance during the growing and dormant seasons (watering, feeding, pruning, etc.); and
e) Pine bonsai culture.
The course does not include a pine. Participants need to bring along a Japanese Black or Red pine, or a Radiata pine to work on. For participants who do not own a pine, we will loan you a pine for you to practise the techniques learnt on the day.
On the day itself, the nursery will also give you a discount on any purchases as part of joining the class.
