Joan McCarter Leroy Fujii † Edward Jacobson † Harry Roark † Mary Bretlinger † Bill Jamieson David Wright † Elsie Andrade † Deceased The Phoenix Bonsai Society was organized in 1962. The club’s objectives are: - to study, foster and encourage the enjoyment of the art of Bonsai; - to assemble and make available information on the culture of Bonsai; - to promote the collection and exhibition of Bonsai; - to acquaint Bonsai fanciers with each other. Our club history is told in Designing Dwarfs in the Desert (1997). One of the first twenty-five clubs formed outside of Asia, we proudly have membership in the American Bonsai Society. Bonsai Clubs International. and Golden State Bonsai Federation © 2014 Phoenix Bonsai Society 2 SOME THINGS WE LEARNED FROM LEROY "Learn from your trees: they are a reflection of you." First you must know the rules -- the underlying principles of your art -- and then you can break the rules. When you go to a show or demonstration, don't try to learn a lot of new things. Just learn one new thing each time. Then come back and apply that until you know it well. If you're trying to make a cascade with a branch that has been growing more upright, you can help it by tipping the container on its side for a while so that nutrients flow more easily to the tip of the cascade-branch- to-be. If you have several cascades in your collection, consciously try to redesign one or more so that they curve in a different direction: we inadvertently tend to develop trees in a particular individual pattern which can be related to which type of handedness we have. The three most important things are: material, material, material. It's a lot easier if you start with something of interest that draws your eye in, a tree with good rootage, thick trunk, quality rather than spending a lot of time trying to develop poor material, leggy, spindly, with weak or clumped roots. Develop the existing material rather than attempt to bend branches to get movement. When you see a bonsai, you should always look closely at how it was developed, how it was created. Try to figure out what the artist was trying to convey. First, keep the tree alive. Second, cut it back often. Keep your tools in good repair. Clean them and respect them. A good master is not doing his job if he's not learning from his students. The greatest compliment a master can receive is when his trees cannot be told apart from those of some of his students. -- Leroy Fujii (1925 – 1998) 3 CLUB SENSEI 1962-1970 Paul Matsusaki 1970-1998 Leroy Fujii 1962-2004 John Naka (honorary) 1998-2013 Ben Oki (honorary) 2013-present David Nguy (honorary) CLUB PRESIDENTS 2013-present Frank Harris 2011-2013 Jim McEown 2009-2011 Jamie Sims 2007-2009 Ken Roberts 2005-2007 Marcia Colliat 2003-2005 Mike Apostolos 2001-2003 Jim Claycomb 1999-2001 Ernest Hasan 1997-1999 Robert Gustafson 1995-1997 Robert Baran 1995 David Mason 1993-1995 Douglas Acker 1991-1993 Max Miller 1989-1991 Penny Schneck 1987-1989 Tom Nangle 1985-1987 Bill Mooney 1983-1985 Elsie Andrade 1981-1983 John B.

  • Carmona Retusa Carmona Boraginaceae
    Carmona retusa Carmona Boraginaceae Forest Starr, Kim Starr, and Lloyd Loope United States Geological Survey--Biological Resources Division Haleakala Field Station, Maui, Hawai'i January, 2003 OVERVIEW Carmona retusa is a popular ornamental plant cultivated in Hawai'i as a hedge or specimen plant. On Maui, C. retusa is observed in residential plantings, mostly in low elevation neighborhoods, such as Kahului, Wailuku, Lahaina, Paia, Haiku, and Kihei. Seedlings and naturalized plants are also commonly observed in landscaping areas and wild semi-wild areas nearby plantings. In one area in Waiehu, C. retusa forms a dense shrubby understory in a kiawe (Prosopis pallida) forest. This plant is fairly widespread on Maui and is probably beyond the eradication stage. Future efforts should be aimed at monitoring, preventing infestations in natural areas, and educating the public about harmful plants that spread beyond the confines of the garden. TAXONOMY Family: Boraginaceae (Heliotrope family) (Lorence et al. 1995, Wagner et al. 1999). Latin name: Carmona retusa (Vahl) Masamune (Lorence et al. 1995, Wagner et al. 1999). Synonyms: C. microphylla (Lam.) Don; Ehretia microphylla Lam.; Ehretia buxifolia Roxb.; Cordia retusa Vahl (Lorence et al. 1995; Bailey and Bailey 1976; GRIN 2001). Common names: Carmona, Philippine tea (Bailey and Bailey 1976), Fukien tea (Caine and Zane 2001). Taxonomic notes: The genus Carmona, also commonly known as Ehretia, is comprised of about 50 species of evergreen or deciduous shrubs and trees of tropical and subtropical regions of both the New and Old World (Bailey and Bailey 1976). Related species in Hawai'i: Neal (1965) lists Ehretia acuminata R.

  • Texas Root Rot Compiled by Chris Anderson (NSW DPI)
    Fact sheet Texas root rot Compiled by Chris Anderson (NSW DPI) What is Texas root rot? Texas root rot, caused by the fungus Phymatotrichopsis omnivora, is one of the most destructive fungal plant diseases. It is a soil-borne fungus that attacks the roots of susceptible plants. It causes sudden wilt and death of affected plants, usually during the warmer months. Texas root rot affects over 2000 species of plants. It is an important disease of cotton as well as alfalfa, Chris Anderson, I&I NSW grapes, fruit trees, and many ornamentals. Cotton plants infected with Texas root rot fungus, which have developed yellow, wilting leaves What does it look like? Plants initially wilt during hot weather as the rotted roots are unable to take up enough water and the stem may become girdled at soil level. Soon after this the plant will die. The dead leaves usually remain attached to the plant. At this stage, the roots are dead and their surface is covered with a network of white to tan fungal strands. Affected areas expand to form circular patches of dead plants. What can it be confused with? Chris Anderson, I&I NSW Tractor driver’s view of severely damaged cotton field Sudden wilt, Fusarium wilt and lightning strike. What should I look for? In the field, look for patches of dead and dying plants (often with the dead leaves still attached). Patches may expand in a circular pattern during warm weather as the fungus spreads through the soil from plant to plant. Dead plants should be pulled up and examined for the presence of white to tan fungal strands on the roots and girdling of the stem at ground level.

  • Cotton Root Rot (Phymatotrichopsis Root Rot) and Its Management
    PLPA-FC010-2016 COTTON ROOT ROT (PHYMATOTRICHOPSIS ROOT ROT) AND ITS MANAGEMENT Phymatotrichopsis root rot (also known as cotton root rot, Phymatotrichum root rot, Texas root rot and Ozonium root There is white to brown fungal growth on the surface of rot) is a major fungal disease of cotton occurring within large main roots near the lower stem, consisting of strands areas of Texas and Arizona, causing annual losses in Texas and a loose, cottony growth just below the soil surface alone of up to $29 million. The causal fungus is soilborne (Fig. 3). and has a host range of more than 1800 dicot plants. This disease only occurs in the southwestern United States and several northern states of Mexico. There has been no expansion of geographic range of the disease within North America. Diagnosis and Impact The disease develops late in the spring or early summer, as soil temperatures approach 82°F. About a day before the onset of visible symptoms , the leaves of infected plants feel noticeably hotter than surrounding, non-infected plants. The Fig. 3 Growth of cotton root rot fungus on root and first visible symptom is wilting (Fig. 1), which becomes base of stem. permanent by the third day, Wilt is usually seen when plants are flowering, sometimes earlier in the season, but not when plants are seedlings. A large number of plants may wilt simultaneously, but even within an affected area, wilting among plants is not simultaneous, sometimes occurring weeks apart. It is also possible to see non- symptomatic plants surrounded by diseased plants.

  • Phymatotrichum Omni- Vorum
    PERSISTENT STRANDS OF THE COTTON ROOT-ROT FUNGUS IN TEXAS' By HoMHR C. MCNAMARA, associate agronomist^ and R. E. WESTER and K. C. GuNN, assistant scientific aids, Division of Cotton and Other Fiber Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture INTRODUCTION The ability of the cotton root-rot fungus (Phymatotrichum omni- vorum (Shear) Dug.) (2) ^ to remain in the soil in a viable and infec- tious condition for a period of years, even when the fields are planted to nonsusceptible crops or kept in clean fallow, has been a problem of much concern to all mvestigators of this disease. Further observa- tions on the ability of this fungus to perpetuate itself in the soil for long periods were made possible during the summer of 1932, when plots that had been in clean fallow for several years or planted to nonsusceptible crops were returned to cotton. Even after a 5-year clean fallow, several centers of infection appeared in a half-acre plot during July and August. In the planning of experimental work on the control of cotton root rot, the nature and stage of the organism that is being dealt with must be considered. Clean fallows covering from 1 to 5 years and the use of nonsusceptible crops on infested areas have furnished con- ditions under which it has been possible to study the fungus in the soil on both cropped and uncropped plots. The colloidal nature of the Wilson and Houston clay soils presented special opportunities for studying the fungus in its natural state of growth.
