Keeping our native species bonsai happy, healthy and growing can be a challenge at times, when the natural world contains a wide range of pests and diseases looking for any opportunity to find new habitat.
The Club’s June meeting on the night of Tuesday 11th June will provide a focus on the various pest and disease problems which we may encounter in growing Australian plants as bonsai. We will take a look at identifying problems, recognising the damage that they may cause in our trees, and finding the best solutions to managing the various pests and diseases.
This will be an opportunity to bring along pictures and samples (with some care, of course, to avoid any disease problems which may spread to other plants) for discussion and resolution.
We will also talk about the best management methods to avoid or minimise infestations in our trees and the damage that they may cause.
