Any beginner classes, Long Island NY

11 years ago

I'm looking for beginner classes in NY, preferably on Long Island. Can anyone make a recommendation? I googled classes but a number of the sites that came up didn't have current schedules.

Hook,

Try Bonsai clubs in the area. Their meetings are in essence classes. They will have local experts promoting bonsai with workshops and other helpful discussions. GL. Aloha

Possibly Canada onion, Allium canadense. Flat leaves, onion-like flavor. Look for any garlic-like scapes, mine are emerging now. The scapes will contain mostly small, reddish bulbils, with a few white or pink flowers. The young plants that grow from fallen bulbils look grass-like. I should add that A. canadense is considered to be a noxious weed in New York state. Distribution of A. canadense (pink designates noxious weed)

Thanks qtcandi. We are in permitting. I live on Long Island in the summer and grew up on the island but unfortunately don't know anyone who recently redid their kitchen except my sister. She wasn't too happy with her stone and installer so I won't ask her. If I hear of anyone, I'll let you know.

I would really suggest you do more research before you start "protecting" them with those lights or other sources of heating. You may either cook them or start them to sprout prematurely in the WINTER (even some of those tiny lights get quite HOT under cover). If you variety is hardy to Zone 7, there is no need for heating. I am in Zone 7 NJ (similar climate), I have no problem with Dwarf Pomegranates (grown for their flowers not the fruit), and have never done anything special with them. They get covered with snow in the Winter. Now mind you, the Dwarf is said to be among the hardiest probably to 6b. I have seen what I think is your variety sold in my area (think it's marketed as Russian Pomegranate). I have several non-dwarf varieties but they are all containerized at this point (there is a Russian or two amongst them, I'm sure). Microclimate would help (some place sunny, south side of house, etc.), some mulching (not overdone) would help too. Keep in mind, this IS a deciduous tree, so it will drop its leaves in the Autumn.

Antoinette,

Just curious about your GW name. Where did you come up with that Hawaiian name? I belong to a Bonsai club and the very experienced members have been extremely nice and helpful. I am learning about about the artistic facet of Bonsai by leaps and bounds. I am even starting to understand what Al(thanks for all your wisdom)here at the Bonsai Forum talks about. I watched a bonsai master take a nursery plant and turn it into a plant-on-a-rock bonsai fully wired and trimmed in two hours. It was incredible. The great thing was that he discussed what he was doing the entire time. Then the tree & rock bonsai was raffled off at the end of the free demonstration. I can't recommend the people-to-people learning experience enough. See photo below:
