Welcome to my bonsai intensive calendar for 2025. I currently operate 2 locations in Los Angeles (Arcadia) and San Diego (Lemon Grove area). Cost is $100 per session, not including lunch.
Currently my San Diego groups are fully booked. If you’d like to join a waiting list for San Diego, please contact me privately via the contact form on my website.
In these intensives I follow these simple principles in the following order:
1) First all work is driven by the health of a tree. As a living art, if a tree dies it ceases to be bonsai. Horticulture and health is the basis for all work.
2) If a tree is healthy it is able to respond to different bonsai based techniques. We can leverage techniques to develop a tree, create branching, and generate predictable responses.
3) With great horticulture and technique, we can pursue art and realize different aesthetic visions or philosophical concepts of bonsai.
If you are interested in participating contact me via my site or my email julian.tsai96@gmail.com. Thank you for your support.

We’re towards the latter end of winter for southern california and will soon enter spring. At this time we can do repotting (for both coniferous and deciduous species), wiring/styling of trees, as well as grafting (scion, thread, and approach!) It is an adaptable time of the year for both temperate deciduous and coniferous material. Please contact me with any questions or concerns at julian.tsai96@gmail.com
