October Advise

The weather is moderating here in these great United States. Just a few days ago we hit the mark of equal day length and equal nights which means that most of our deciduous Bonsai will say to themselves that they need to put on a pretty face and show their Autumn colors.

If you haven’t gotten your 0-10-10 fertilizer into your Bonsai supply chest then by all means get it very soon, because your Bonsai does not normally react quickly to fertilization this time of year. You are trying to direct your Bonsai into a very happy, healthy dormancy during the winter. Even Evergreen Bonsai go into a state of suspended animation (of course not as openly expressed as deciduous Bonsai) during the winter months. It is important that you withhold Nitrogen from the fertilization regimen because any drops of temperature can easily kill or disfigure new, tender growth. O-10-10 fertilizer Click Here

If you haven’t gotten your humidity trays or drip trays then now’s a good time to check out our supply of sizes. These particular trays have small feet or nubs which keep the tray from touching the wood or other table surfaces to keep any water from damaging them. And….. again remember not to let water accumulate in the tray. You can drown your Bonsai if it sits in water. Humidity trays Click Here

And … What’s happening at Dallas Bonsai Garden…

We have been feverishly trying to put up some of our new products so that you can see them this month. We have all our Masakuni line up now and can proudly say that the only place you can go to see more Masakuni products is to go to the factory in Japan. And for your information … more are on their way from Japan. NO other company outside of Japan carries as many Masakuni tools and supplies as Dallas Bonsai Garden!!!

There are some tools and supplies that we will get up this week such as the new Super Black finished tools, more pruning compounds, the top of the line scissors/shears that are better than Masakuni, a line of what we are calling “Yellow Pivot Shears/Scissors” to differentiate it from the other lines, Non-stick coated shears, a small hand held scissor that looks like Pac-Man, a Stainless steel leaf trimmer and a Stainless steel bud trimmer. All of this is being brought to the USA in the hopes that when you want anything Bonsai, Dallas Bonsai Garden will have it for you. We want to be your Bonsai Supply Superstore.
