25th anniversary BIBA exhibition
This coming Friday and Saturday the Big Island Bonsai Association will have their show at Wailoa Center in Hilo. I'm busy preparing for it. Here are 3 Metrosideros polymorpha Gaud, (Ohi'a Lehua.)
The escape branch on the 3rd one has to stay for a couple years, oh well. Last edited by Bruce Winter : 28-Jun-2006 at 01:06 AM. |

I like the back of the little chunky one but the branch didn't cooperate.
And lastly one you've seen before thats been tweaked a bit. All of these trees were ground-layered this year and have been in pots from 3 weeks to 2 months Last edited by Bruce Winter : 28-Jun-2006 at 01:08 AM. |

Hi Bruce, Nice trees in those pics of your. I like the dead area on the semi cascade in the first picture. I also like the shohin styled trees in the later pictures.
Some questions. What kind of plant material is available from regular nurseries there in the Islands? Are you able to grow some of the same material as on the mainland? Is it easier to stick with more tropical species on the Islands? Thanks and good exhibiting, Al

Hi Al, glad you like them. I think deadwood is the best feature of ohi'a. I need to get to the desert and do a deadwood feature.
There isn't much in the nurseries here suitable for bonsai and most of it won't grow up here anyway, 4Kft. Not tropical. I can grow plants/trees here that can't grow anywhere else on the island or the state, maples, mainland fruit trees, cymbidium orchids, ginko. Azalea and camellia love the acid rain. But I can't grow ficus and I've lost a lot of heat loving plants to disease. So as difficult as they are, ohi'a loves the rain. |
