Kitabis meeting 14.11.2009

The bonsai club Kitabi held it's November meeting at Teemu Oja's place. Teemu has recently moved, and it was great fun to see his new digs. On the program were junipers and Zelkovas. A couple of branches of a huge Chinese juniper Shinpaku were wired, and some pruning was made on a smaller Chinese juniper. Then we discussed how to start training a Zelkova into a broom styled tree (hokidachi), and looked at and discussed three different Zelkovas and how they had got the form they had. Coffee and good food was the dot over the i of an very interesting and inspiring afternoon. Thank you Teemu for a great meeting!
