American Bonsai Society's Learning Seminars 2026

So this is a Satsuki Azalea, as you can tell it's pretty loud in here. This is a Dwarf Scheffalera. This is a West Indian Jasmine, but look at that beautiful pot. And this is a Chinese Quince. There's actually a little node in here, and as you can tell this is a big tree. And another Satsuki Azalea here, and a Mimosa tree. This tree is so big I can't even get it all in the frame. And of course a Hinoki Cypress, and a Chinese Elm, and this is listed as a Common Juniper. And a massive old Japanese White Pine in a Cascade style. You can see just how massive that trunk is. And of course a Bald Cypress, and here we have a Trident Maple, and look at that stand. Another absolutely massive Japanese White Pine. And another little Maple here, an American Larch, Japanese Snowbell tree, smaller Hinoki Cypress here, and a Satsuki Azalea, and this is a Yupon Holly, and a Bald Cypress. And this is a Ponderosa Pine, Trident Maple, and a Blue Star Juniper. Right when you walk in you're greeted with these two massive Bald Cypresses. This is a High Bush Blueberry, a little Japanese Black Pine. This is a Texas Cedar Elm, a Japanese Yew. This is a Korean Hornbeam, a Japanese Black Pine, an Eastern White Cedar, a Lodgepole Pine, and another Dwarf Scheffalera. Here's a beautiful Satsuki Azalea still in bloom. This is a Japanese Beech tree, an Eastern Larch Forest, a Twisted Pomegranate tree, a Firm Spray Hinoki Cypress, a little Japanese White Pine, a Shimpaku Juniper, a Japanese Black Pine, a Dwarf Chinese Quince, another Japanese White Pine, and a finishing with a Korean Hornbeam. And now we're making our way to the Vendor's Tent. And Frank always has some really great stone slabs if you were interested in a stone for some slab planning. That's not a pot, that's a small bathtub. Thank you. As you understand, I said maybe next time when we do it, this is our first one. Yeah. And there's only four people. Yeah. We're undertaking. The second one will have somebody re-ball it. Yeah. So they can handle the reeling. My azaleas. Hey, what's happening? Good, how are you? Good. Hey, Mark. Hey, Ed. How are you? Ed, how are you doing? I didn't know you were short, did I? Yep. I do? Yep. Can you see me? Sorry. I have it. See you soon. Hey, how you doing? Hi. Excuse me, excuse me. Good to see you. Hey, Billy, how you doing? What's that? This is just Vending Area 1. And this is where the other vendors section is. So you can make a hundred of them. Actually, it's not the same one. It's okay. I'm ready. It's sitting on a battery. Hello. I was actually very qualified. It's sculptural. It's not slamming. It's vessels. Okay. What are you talking about? Yeah. It's very angular. Yeah. Anyway. But yeah. I saw the post. I get the text from him. What is that? I don't know. I hope you enjoyed the walkthrough of the display trees and the vendor's area. This is a before picture of the Crate Myrtle that I received from the Andrew Robson Workshop. Hello, everyone. This is my Pocomoke Crate Myrtle that I got during the American Bonsai Society's learning seminar. A class taken with Andrew Robson with Rakuyo Bonsai. I really want to thank Andrew for coming to the show and working with us. And this is the front of the tree. To the right side, to the back, to the left side, and back to the front. And here next year, next spring, we'll get us a nice pot to put it in. Other than this Crate Myrtle that came with the class from the American Bonsai Society, I did not purchase any other trees or pots. There wasn't anything that really stood out to me that I really wanted. Not that there wasn't some really nice pots and trees there, but it was either too expensive or not something I was really interested in. Thank you for watching. I hope you'll like and subscribe.
