FUKU-BONSAI DEVELOPS HIGH-SUCCESS BEGINNER BONSAI

"Over half of the visitors to the Fuku-Bonsai Cultural Center & Hawaii State Bonsai Repository (in Kurtistown on the Big Island of Hawaii)have grown and killed juniper bonsai," according to Hawaiian bonsai master David Fukumoto. "They somehow believed that junipers magically became houseplants when grown as bonsai."

After mastering traditional Japanese bonsai, aristocratic Chinese penjing, and Hawaiian tropical bonsai, he distilled the essential principles.

FIRST, choose plants for specific environments. For most people that means indoors. As a research affiliate of Lyon Arboretum, Fukumoto field-tested all known houseplants. He found that even Ficus required more light than is normally available. He specializes in Dwarf Schefflera, a very durable and proven houseplant.

SECOND, start with plants that have character and interest to avoid the long skillful training needed to create character. To have an attractive bonsai at the end of a workshop, the plant MUST have "character" at the beginning of the workshop!

Fuku-Bonsai skillfully trains trees for several years and establishes them on rocks with a vigorous but confined root system. Add an attractive pot, tie-down wire, pre-screened potting media, and a 16-page Keiki Bonsai Handbook for a successful beginner experience. In Hawaiian, "keiki" means "beloved child" and even a 10-year old child will be successful with a little coaching by an adult.

The Fuku-Bonsai Premium Keiki Bonsai Workshop Package is priced at $39.95 plus $9 shipping via Federal Express to any part of the United States.
