Restoration of a large Chinese Banyan Bonsai

摘要

Over 20 years ago we sprayed defective Benlate contaminated with weedkillers and the catastrophic losses forced retrenching to the Kurtistown nursery and closing the Kona Fuku-Bonsai Center. Display bonsai came back but we couldn't continue exhibit quality training as we battled to rebuild and survive. Now there are obvious signs of recovery—nursery benches are being rebuilt, staff is enlarging, and bonsai are being brought back into training! This is the story of one of our largest bonsai.
