Minutes of the
March 12, 2017 meeting
of the Michiana Bonsai Study
Present: Larry Benjamin, John DeMaegd, Betty Foltz, Jack Foltz, Mary Hesser, Sofia Ivanova,
Kathy Lee, Mark Rennie and Paul Weishaar
Location:
Linton’s
Program:
Members who brought trees re-potted them. Mary Hesser and Larry Benjamin each re-potted one
tree while John DeMaegd re-potted two. Sofia Ivanova and Mark Rennie brought their (nursery-
bought) juniper which they had begun to work on at last month's meeting. Paul Weishaar helped
them excavate some of the soil to reveal the trunk structure from the too deeply potted tree. (A task
made more difficult because the soil was frozen!) Sofia & Mark will bring the tree to our April meeting
to continue to reduce the root ball and repot it.
