Mary Madison Buttonwood workshop
April, 2001


Buttonwood Bonsai Club of Crystal River engaged Mary madison for a day of demonstrations and workshop, April 16, 2001
 Right is my workshop tree. Straight downward branch snapped while bending, but not fatally.
Below, white arrow points to  branch which had healed, but raised itself up. This branch was weak due to break, so was removed when new downward bud developed (yellow arrow).
