re: Bonsai tree

You located anywhere near the BR area? There is a Louisiana Bonsai Society that meets monthly in Baton Rouge. LINK

My wife has taken a minor interest. She has a flowering quince bonsai (outside) for a few years that she’s kept alive - that’s an achievement for her. It was a online purchase from a bonsai nursery in MS LINK which touts itself as one of the largest bonsai nurseries in the USA. I picked up an another indoor, lower light requirement bonsai (a ficus) for her, and at of all places Home Depot (LOL) and it’s done well. I’ve been thinking I might try It myself, and I’m thinking perhaps a variety or 2 of Japanese maple.

You’ll certainly have more options in variety and pricing on-line than at local retail plant nurseries.

Thanks for the memory jog on this - I think I’ll get the wife another for Christmas.
