A year ago, Eric visited Jay McDonald’s garden in Marin County for five tips on getting great fall color from your deciduous bonsai. 🍁 Jay shares how he handles a liquidambar forest, why he removes the largest leaves, and why fall sunshine matters. His takeaway: if your local club doesn’t hold a fall bonsai show, “take it to the board.” Watch the full video to see all five tips!

🌿 Customer Spotlight 🌿 We love hearing from our customers! Peggy shared this about her Willow Leaf Ficus: “My willow leaf ficus arrived sooner than expected and in good condition. He has relaxed into his new home and is ready to move into a grow pot. Thank you Eric for a beautiful pre-bonsai!” If you want to start a willow leaf ficus of your own, our starters are still available. Thank you, Peggy!

Happy ! 🐱 This cat adopted us, and she has made herself right at home on the farm. Eric is calling her “Disy” because she’s a big distraction. 🌿 Say hello to our newest farm helper!

Three years ago, Eric revisited one of his large, vigorous Japanese Black Pines for a November thinning. 🌲 He pulls excess needles and weaker buds so more light and air reach what’s left, checks the wire, and refines the structure while planning ahead for next summer’s decandling. Watch the full video to see how he does it!

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Our New Zelkovas are the treat you’ve been waiting for, and about 10 are left. 🍂 These are prized for their fine branching, fast growth, and ability to make incredibly detailed bonsai. They back bud copiously, take well to root work, and change beautifully with the seasons. No tricks here, so grab your favorite before it’s gone.

Happy ! 🪨 Rock hunting is fun, but it’s also required for great root-over-rock compositions. Eric scouts a riverbed from above (drone view!) in search of the right stones for our next root-over-rock bonsai. 🌲

Four years ago, Eric answered your questions about what to do with 3-year-old Japanese Black Pines. 🌲 In this clip, he thins the buds on a young pine, keeping the small ones and removing about half, so he can create a smaller pattern of growth now and have more styling options later once the trunk gets bigger. Watch the full video to see how he handles six pines in different stages of growth!

🌿 Customer Spotlight 🌿 We love hearing from our customers! Carlos shared this after picking up one of our new Japanese Black Pines: “I was so excited when I saw JBP release that I couldn’t wait to get this beautiful tree. Thank you Eric and your team to create this beautiful tree. You save me 6 years!! Now I can’t wait for repotting season to repot and training the branches.” We still have more Japanese Black Pines available from the release, so take a look before they find their new homes. Thank you, Carlos!

Happy ! 🍂 Acorns are ripening on this oak, and we’re not sure what we’ve got yet. It could be a small leaf canyon live oak or some kind of hybrid. We’re going to germinate the acorns and see what we get! 🌱
