[IBC] Not So Quiet
Actually, things are busy in upstate NY. We here in Syracuse are getting
ready for our annual show next week at Liverpool Public Library. I will be shilling for it on TV next Monday. I am frantically pruning & picking at my trees. Unfortunately, the Mohawk-Hudson show (Albany) is the same weekend. I hope we coordinate better next year. Most of my thread grafts seem to be taking well. There is one on the Arakawa that I will probably have to redo, but the tree is growing some extra branches in preparation. The stone pine is very slow but taking shape. I only lost one tree strictly to the heat, Tsuga canadensis 'Minuta,' but that was no surprise. Ruined a couple with stupidity, as usual. Eastern white pine looks good, but very little back budding. Hally Jolivette is a jungle. Still looking for someone who has actually used Betula pendula 'Trost's Dwarf' as a bonsai. Mine, still in the ground, (as hinted in the catalogs) doesn't look like a birch. It looks like a thread-leaf Japanese maple with a bad hair day. Looking forward to ABS Saratoga. It is a treat to have a big convention close by. The new Mohawk Valley club in Utica is off and running. They have a full slate of officers, a newsletter, & plenty of talent. Bonsai Club/Broome County (Binghamton) is also very active. They are planning a hypertufa workshop in October. Contact Bob Saar, .
