Like buttonwoods? Take a good
look at the front cover. This is typical of the coastal lands throughout
the keys, a very harsh and ravaged
landwhere buttonwoods ght to

As usual pictures dont give us the
full impact of the subject. There is more

WORDS TO
BSF MEMBERS
by Gene Callahan
As second vice president, I regretfully report
to you our president and
rst vice president have
resigned a couple months early
for personal reasons. You can be
assured there are no issues, and the
remainder of the board continues
in place doing their jobs.
According to the BSF By-Laws,
the presidential mantel in this situation falls on the second vice-president. I accept this responsibility
and will endeavor to fulll the position as outlined in the By-Laws.
I ask for your support to keep
BSF moving toward the scheduled
elections this spring. At this time a
nominating committee is preparing
a ballot for consideration by the
Board of Trustees of BSF. By the
time you get this issue of Florida
Bonsai the board will have had
a routine annual winter meeting
scheduled for Jan 22, 2005 and
will have approved a ballot to be
submitted to your club by March.
As my other hat is Chairman
of the 2005 Convention, I want to
personally invite you to our get

seemed kind of
quiet and private

met her about once

interview, the rst time I really

have never seen her look better.
Ed: What made you get involved
with bonsai?

Magazines with bonsai knowledge, information and things that give you ideas
increase their sales even if they dont
know it. If they know you will only buy
from advertisers they might get the hint.
Do yourself a favor. This year at the
convention take the above advice; rst
thank our advertisers, and then let the
others know where you make your purchasesand why.

Darned if I know how they will

The only bad news is the absence
of a bonsai club. I am about 100
miles from Sarasota, Brevard,
Tampa, Port Charlotte, Ft. Myers,
Ft. Pierce, and probably a couple
other clubs. Not too tough to visit,

Wiring:
Frequent wiring will be required.
Wire with care using rafa and
many wraps of wire on large
branches. The branches are brittle
and breakage is commonbut not
always catastrophic. Cracks or
splits can be repaired with glue
or wired together until healed.
Buttonwoods grow very rapidly and
wire may scar the branches in a few
weeks. Never unwind the wire. You
risk breaking a branch if you do.
Always cut the wire off.
Copper wire has possible toxic
effects on buttonwoods, especially
if it cuts into the bark when left on
too long. (An old cracker trick for
killing trees was using copper nails
driven into the trunk.)
Soil Types
Many people use organic soils
with perlite. However, soil-less
mixes are becoming more popular.
A soil-less mix has inorganic
components with some pine

There are two basic means of

buttonwood: classic air layers and
cuttings.
Air layering is always the best
way to propagate a buttonwood,
and is no different than any other

Cuttings may be rooted in water

perfect mini greenhouse for them.

T H E TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY
O F BONSAI BEHIND BARS
BY T HE
BO NSAI SOCIE TIES
OF F LOR I D A
In January 1984 some folks,
unaware of what others were
thinking of, met and were
to produce one of the most
meaningful meetings that has been
a part of bonsai in Florida. The
meeting was covered in FLORIDA
BONSAI, XIV-1, by Edna
Hindson, a founding member of
Taki Bonsai Society of Lake City.
The members of Taki
had made a visit in 1983 to
the Horticulture Division
of the Union Correctional
Institution in Raiford,
Florida. In touring the
Greenhouses (12) they
discovered there was one
that was devoted entirely to
the training of Bonsai. The
other eleven greenhouses grow all
of the ornamental plants that are
shipped to all of the ofces of the
State of Florida.

To most
inmates,
the days in
prison are
long and
dreary, but
all the men
who were
listening to
Ben Oki said the time went too
fast. As one expressed it, This was
my best day in prison.
So, since I do not know how to
get a Thank You to Ben Oki, Im
hoping that he will be given a copy
of our Thank You.
Gratefully Yours,
M.B. Jordan, Supervisor
Ornamental Horticulture Union
Correctional Institution. Raiford,
Florida 32083
The following was published in
FLORIDA BONSAI Vol XIV, No.
1, Winter 1984, by Edna Hindson
So it was that, on January 10,
1984, Ben Oki was given a tour
of the numerous greenhouses at
U.C.I., one of which was devoted
entirely to Bonsai. Here he saw
the great variety of plant material,
the numerous styles employed,
and the inmate-made containers
being used. Ben selected a number
of Bonsai to take to the education
building, where he critiqued
and then made renements on
them. This was followed by a
32/20
slide presentation
of his own Bonsai
collection, which
was punctuated by
appreciative oohs
and aahs from the
audience. The nal
part of the program
was his creation of a
three-tree Bonsai.
No audience was ever more
attentive, and none more
appreciative, and Ben seemed to
sense that this was a very special
occasion for everyone in the room,
inside these walls. He rose to
the occasion magnicently, and
produced a presentation which
lasted over eight hours, and which
was truly memorable.
We believe this event could be
a historic and important rst.
Perhaps other groups will see the
need to give support to prisons,
monasteries, senior citizens
homes, or such which share our
interest in Bonsai.
Our thanks are due to Jean Smith
and the Trustees for their support,
and to the authorities of U.C.I., and
certain of the inmates, for making
the project possible. Special thanks
are due to Ada Blodgett, our local
president, for her diligence. Above
all, we are grateful to Ben Oki
himself for his outstanding work
before an audience which, perhaps,
has a deeper understanding of the
bonsai philosophy than any of us.

After

Director, we,
along with a

Saint Petersburg (FL) Times, were
escorted through security and into
the heart of the institution by the
correctional ofcer who oversees
the bonsai activities. He is also
responsible for the institutions
entire horticulture program and
is not trained in bonsai. At the
horticulture shade and green
houses we were met by 11 inmates
whose job in the institution is to
work in horticulture. Wed brought
several bags of bonsai soil, several
plants, some donated pots and
bonsai training wire. We also
had our bonsai tools which were
counted when we went in, when
we secured them for lunch, and
when we went out.
After introductions and tentative
responses from the inmates, Ben
conducted a demonstration on
renement pruning of junipers.
Some 35 or 40 juniper bonsai
candidates were viewed and Ben
discarded those without bonsai
potential. We then started the
hands on activities. As the inmates
gained more condence in working
Florida Bonsai

Finally:
What did we accomplish? First,
we did not create conrmed bonsai
practitioners, nor did we create any
new, instant bonsai masterpieces.
The inmates did learn about an art
form and some very basic tenants
of artistic design. They worked in
cooperation with each other, and
with people from outside who
asked no questions but who simply
accepted them as individuals. We
were there to do bonsai, and we
did. They were able to be creative
and they created and they could see
the results of their creative efforts.
Their oops were gently corrected
and accomplishments were praised.
It was a very positive experience
for all concerned.

A Youth Workshop
By Gene Callahan
We are adding a youth workshop
to the Convention line up. It will
be a free workshop for youngsters
between the ages of eight and
fourteen. Of course, if there is
a mature seven year old who is
capable of using the tools they
will be accepted with the parents
permission.
Jim Smith, Jim VanLandingham
and Ernie Fernandez will lead
the workshop, and will show the
entrants how to create a bonsai
and how to maintain it. They will
then be able to take their creation
home and use their newly gained
knowledge to keep their bonsai
healthy and start or enlarge their
collection.
Jim Smith will provide the trees
and twelve applicants will be
accepted for the class. Tools are
not mandatory, but if the entrants
have some they are encouraged to
bring them. Only basic tool are
required, i.e. clippers or scissors,
etc. Convention registrants will be
allowed to watch the workshop the
same as all scheduled workshops.
The workshop will take place
Saturday morning (2nd July) from
9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. The rst
twelve applicants will be accepted
for the workshop. This should be a
great opportunity for our youth to

Each club can choose the best

you could have your members

Post Script:
I sincerely hope you enjoyed this issue of Florida
Bonsai.
Obviously, anyone in the world can access this web version of our magazinego ahead tell them about it.
Three things occur to me:
One: It is wonderful if more people learn about
bonsai, and what we are doing in Florida.
Two: Our generous advertisers are presented to the
world.
Three: If you are not a member, please support us
so we can continue to publish it.
Contact Tammy Malin, as noted in the beginning of
the magazine for individual or club membership.
Whether or not you are a member, please support our
advertisers. Buy from them, and tell them thanks for
bringing this publication to you.
Enjoy our magazine, and have fun with your bonsai.
Plan for our next convention, noted herein.
Check out the Convention at the web site:

Your editor,
Dick Miller
