Bonsai show coming to Arboretum





The Baiko-En Kenkyukai Bonsai Society will present "Winter Silhouettes," the only show of deciduous miniaturized trees in the U.S., from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Sat. and Sun., Jan. 20 and 21, in Ayres Hall at the Los Angeles County Arboretum.


This show will feature Japanese gray bark elms, ginkgo, zelkova and dormant maple trees. Japanese plum trees in plum will provide the first hint of spring.


Demonstrations each day will show how to prune the branches and roots of ordinary nursery plants, transforming them into classic bonsai planted in the traditional shallow pots.


Bonsai trees, both finished and partially trained by club members, will be offered for sale.


For further information, please call Lindsay Shiba at (909) 985-2219.


Admission to the show is free with admission to the Arboretum: $5 adults, $3 seniors/students, $1 children 5-12, free for children under 5 and Arboretum members. The Arboretum is at 301 N. Baldwin Ave., Arcadia, across from Santa Anita racetrack.
