Bonsai agistment

Australian conditions vary from one extreme to another. What do you do and when do you do it?

Bonsai agistment

Post by SteveW »

While watering my trees the other day, I recalled a friend from Tamworth saying she was dunking her trees as outside watering wasn't allowed under their water restrictions. Another friend in Armidale is carting water from a bore to water his trees. I offered to look after, or help find someone to look after their trees until their water restrictions eased. They appreciated the offer and so far no trees are being agisted.

If you know someone on severe water restrictions, consider reaching out to offer a hand.

Talking to Ash from Bonsai World at Canberra last weekend and he said they have a number of bonsai in care for growers up on the parched tablelands.

Great idea to offer space for those in need. i just need to make a little room :lost: :lost:
