COVER TREE – Wild olive (Olea europaeasubsp. sylvestris)
The gnarled old wild olive tree featured on the cover of this issue stands in the Bonsai Museum Düsseldorf, where it basks in the summer sun and is admired by visitors. Due to climate change, Mediterranean species are increasingly thriving in more northerly regions – a development that also benefits the holm oak, whose suitability for bonsai, care, and styling are explored in this issue. In addition, this issue offers a wealth of summer care tips for deciduous and coniferous trees, helping bonsai enthusiasts keep their trees healthy and vigorous throughout the warmer months.
