Dear Bonsai
Enthusiast,
Retirement!
Ros & Geoff wish to announce to all our bonsai customers
as well as the bonsai community as a whole that they have
decided after 26 years in the business to downsize & retire
this year if possible.
We will be trading as normal until the nursery is sold, &
we look forward to seeing you during the busy season ahead for
all your bonsai needs, workshops & courses.
It is very much hoped that the Nursery will continue as a
bonsai centre especially as a certificate of existing use, (class
A1 retail) has recently been granted.

Pre-spring
notes
The hard frost of early January will hopefully have killed
off many bugs however it’s still worth giving
‘preventative’ sprays of fungicide or insecticide to some
trees during this ‘dormant’ period. Some deciduous
trees are ‘marcescent’ i.e. they hold theirs leaves through
winter, e.g. Beech, hornbeam & some oaks: these can safely
be de-leafed prior to treatment.
During late April/ early May consider treating all your
collection organically with nematodes against vine weevil grubs
which can gnaw away at roots often undetected. These can be
obtained for £12 from "Just Green" tel: 01621-785088
or go on their website: www.just-green.com
and view http://www.just-green.com/c/982/Vine+Weevil.html
