Casuarina equisetifolia, Malphigia glabra, Hibiscus tilliaceus and many more. is policy encourages other species to be used as bonsai material. Looking at the trees exhibited, about 15% of them, especially the non Bantigue are trees imported from Tai- wan. For the long term it is a good in uence because people can learn how to make good bonsai. In general, Philippine bonsai are much a ected by the Taiwan style.
e convention featured many experts that gave demonstra- tions and lectures. Shinichi Nakajima from Japan started the demonstration on a Podocarpus. He chose a tall tree for his demonstration. Later on Minhsuan Lo chose an informal up- right Pemphis acidula and turned it into a cascading style. It was fun and educational to see the demo. Pang Yung Liu from Taiwan re ned a Murraya paniculata and Wen Jen Hsu, also from Taiwan, did a nice Maba buxifolia. e demonstrations ended with William Valavanis from USA creating a forest style with Murraya paniculata.
Stones seminar were given by Tom Elias who talked about Japanese stones and Peter Huang from China, who spoke about wax stones.
Over all the convention was good and very successful.
