I have been doing Bonsai since 2021 as part of the Phoenix Bonsai Society (PBS) which was created in 1960’s. My focus is on Olives, Bougainvilleas and Ficus with a couple of others like Rosemary, Pomegranate, Crape Myrtle, Elephant Plant Food, Elephant tree (Bursera microphylla), Palo Verde as well as growing Saguaros from seed. In addition to trying to do Bonsais in Phoenix with summer temps above 110 degrees, I have to do this on my two balconies where the reflective heat does not allow the Bonsais to cool off.
