Welcome
I have started this blog for quite a few reasons. The first one is that I have been studying bonsai literature for past two year. You can see that I am quite a beginner myself. The thing is that I haven't been able to find any kind of material on bonsai growth and training in Pakistan. I had faced many problems trying to find things out. Because most of the (what I call bonsai tech) things required for bonsai are not available in my city. So I had to look for alternatives for these. I tried different things and failed a lot of times though succeeded a few times too ;) . So I am here to share what I learned and would like to request all the bonsai enthusiastic especially from Pakistan to share there knowledge here too.
I need to warn you guys that I have very little practical knowledge. So I will be looking forward to the feedback of experts out there.
By the way I will also be adding articles regarding basic bonsai training techniques. I am a great fan of Junipers as they are in my opinion the best trees which can be made into a bonsai of any style and look most similar to a real tree. So my most focus would be on the junipers though I will also be adding information on other trees too.

i do also have the blog with the name of cactus in pakistan. i do have alot of cactus for which i can take care of..
I am glad to hear that you are interested in bonsai. But I have yet to hear of a nursery or shop where you can get stock bonsai. Most of the enthusiastics in Pakistan grow bonsai at home from normal house plants or small trees,even seedlings.
ReplyDeleteI have no info regarding availability of bonsai in abbottabad but you should check out good high standard high fi kind of nurseries. Maybe they have some stock bonsais imported.
As you can see I am not working on my blog anymore due to my busy schedule,but I do have plans to put books and small guides to start bonsai from nursery stock in Pakistan. but you can start out on bonsai if you interested, just read more on internet and view some pictures of mature bonsai samples. It will help you in getting the idea of how you should preceed.
regarding cactus, well I am not interested in turning them in bonsai but they might be an interesting prospect for bonsai art. I will look into it further.
