The 30th Australian National Bonsai Convention “Art-By Nature” is to be held in Brisbane, Queensland. 19th- 22nd May 2017. Registration form is available on the AABC website: aabcltd.org Bonsai Rescue We had a visit from Cathy during our exhibition asking if we could look at her struggling bonsai’s that her friend had given her. So our November meeting turned out to be a very inter- esting event, where we had nine very stressed bonsai’s that were underfed, had very little pruning on them and had not been re-potted for a long time. Thanks to Alex, Ralf, Tom and Murray we managed to re-pot and trim them back to a respectable position. There was a number of different styles and species of trees so as we went we had discussions about each tree with handy tips on how to look after our trees.
