About five years back I started with two plants of 'Burserra fragroides' (I wandser whether I spelled it correctly). One of them has been trained into a beautiful "Informal Upright" style but sadly the other one became tall and leggy with the top 1/3rd having all the branches and asbolutely bare at the lower 2/3rd. Despite several hard prunings to stimulate branches at the middle and lower part,

Here in eastern Maryland it is a common practice to winterize our bonsais by putting them in the ground up to the rim of the pot or on the gruond. In each cases leaves are mounded around the trees as reproachfully added protection. This month Im having hand surgery & my hand shall be in a splint for the following six to eight weeks. I shall be unable to winterize my trees in the usual way.

I belong to a local bonsai club. Just wondering if any one has any good ideas to boost the clubs funds. We never have any new speakers, only club members. I'll like to find some ways to make money for the club (aside from raising dues) so we could do more & get some new speakers in. Any suggestions welcome.

About 3 years ago I & some other membners of or Club extraordinarily acquired some Dwarf Chinese Elms. The leaves of this species are similar to those of the Chinese elm expect they are tiny only 3 to 5 mm long. One vartiety has yellow margins and is sold as variewgated. The plants are easy to propagate from cuttings. But when we transplant the rooted cuttings, most of them do not survive.
