Advanced Bonsai Course 2 of Bjorn Bjorholm with Bonsai Empire

The Advanced Bonsai Course 2 is out since two weeks. I was asked early to write a review and critique about it but had to wait for a rainy period to seriously look it. Six hours is  a lot for such a course I think. One might think that I would not bother to really look at this fully. Well, I did and I am not sorry. Even after more than 40 years there is still a lot that I have to learn. Bjorn Bjorholm in his quiet and matter of fact style gives a real lot of information.

This advanced course shows stuff that you would never learn in a demo nor even in many workshops. One can definitely not get this kind of information by reading alone. There are only two ways of getting these insights: you either spend months in a very advanced bonsai nursery or study this course.

This is the announcement of Bonsai Empire::

The Advanced Bonsai Course 2 is the long awaited sequel, with more in-depth content than ever. Instructor Bjorn Bjorholm guides you through the long-term impact of techniques on a wide variety of tree species. Learn about pad creation for exhibition, branch splitting on conifers and establishing a great Nebari with air-layered deciduous material. Understand how to fertilize trees in different stages and the effects of macro and micronutrients on plants.
But this course is not exclusively about advanced techniques. It also discusses the aesthetics of traditional and contemporary Bonsai display, from the tokonoma to the exhibition hall. With almost 6 hours of lectures, this is one of the most extensive courses we've ever created.

If you are and advanced bonsai person and want to widen your horizon I can only suggest to spend US$ 69.99 on this. It  may be the best deal in your bonsai career.
