I take Up North Bonsai, well, down south to visit with the Owner and operator of Little Jade Bonsai, Gilbert Cantu of Corpus Cristy Texas. We talk about how we believe the PAs are great little bonsai trees and are often very easy to grow almost anywhere. Gilbert shares with us his experiences with the PA species and how we could adapt some of his work in our colder climate of the upper midwest.
