Among some of America\u2019s favorite bloomers, both varieties are hardy, thrive in acid soil and can be adapted to bonsai. According to Anderson, azaleas can become excellent miniature trees but only a selected number of camellias are suitable candidates. \u201cThere are very few dwarf-sized camellias with small enough blooms for use as bonsai,\u201d he said. Anderson will feature the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts of raising these plants with special focus on their limited pruning and trimming at this time of year.<\/p>\n

Anderson is a very experienced bonsai grower, expert on bonsai tree design, guest presenter at area community colleges and at local horticultural events, and chairs the sensei (teaching) committee of the Mother Lode Bonsai Club. He attended California State Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo, majoring in horticulture and floral design and has raised bonsai for over 50 years. <\/p>\n

Everyone is invited to attend the public demonstration regardless of their levels of experience. Club members, who will be available to provide guests with information on bonsai, come from Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne counties, as well as the Central Valley.
