Yes, we are in the Southern hemisphere and therefore it is Spring here in New Zealand. Words are not necessary to explain the new energy, new life and beauty that is seen across deciduous trees coming out of deep dormancy and evergreens pushing more auxins to the right places for Spring growth to emerge. For me this is New Year’s. No 1 January for Bonsai people, the start of Spring and a new growth cycle is our New Year’s.

Just pictures, no words.

How is your new season going? Even if you are in the Northern hemisphere, you will have a different season and a new phase for your trees.
