Bonsai Roots, Repotting an Azalea at the National Arboretum

by | Jan 18, 2023


Join Curator Michael James and me on Tuesday, January 24, 2023 at 1 pm, EST, for a Road Scholar Online Program when he will be re-potting this Satsuki Azalea (Rhododendron ‘Kozan’), donated by Kenichi Oguchi and now in the collections at the U.S. National Arboretum. He and his colleagues at the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum will show us the steps involved in this essential procedure that ensures the ongoing health of bonsai.
