Long time member, John Jackson, will be a returning presenter for San Diego Bonsai Club’s upcoming September meeting. As we have transitioned into Summer, the window to do heavy work on tropical tree species such as Ficus is wide open. Extremely fast growers with very quick time to develop, nearly all Ficus species this author can think of absolutely thrives locally. John is well versed in this species and has developed several trees into incredible display material.

John, along with some club members, started a small group of trees at our June meeting last year, see the Home page for a link to that video. In this session, the material was roughly reset, later repotted and allowed to grow for the remainder of the year. In this upcoming session, we will revisit this material, determine the next steps in its development, and correct any ongoing issues. Our objective is to push these trees through the developmental stages until they can be displayed in our annual club shows. Join us on this journey.
