THE BONSAI YEAR IN TASMANIA

[BonsaiRob]

Many bonsai enthusiasts in the Southern Hemisphere depend on books and guides published for the Northern Hemisphere market. When identifying which jobs need to be done when, it is necessary to shift the times by 6 months to accommodate Christmas in the summer and winter in July.

But even in a particular hemisphere, the timing of jobs on bonsai depends significantly on exact latitude and altitude as well as distance from the moderating influences of the ocean.

Chris Xepapas, the Society's current Vice-President, has put together a bonsai calendar that applies to southern Tasmania. It should also be useful for other cool temperate areas in Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere in the Southern Hemisphere.

You can find this calendar on the Society’s website (http://bonsai-southern-tasmania.org.au/ ... d-tips.php). Why not take the opportunity to explore the rest of the website after viewing Chris’s guide?
