Welcome to the A to Z of Bonsai.
We are compiling a worldwide A to Z of Bonsai database. The A to Z is written collaboratively by the people who use it and we would like to encourage anyone reading this page to contribute to what has become the worlds greatest encyclopedia of bonsai terms. Entries when they are made will be added to an editable list which will be checked prior to publication. Photos and images of the bonsai term can be added and links made to relevant web pages.

BAILLIE - IAN -
Nearly forty years in making BONSAI>BONSAI>BONSAI pots which are currently included in collections in Britain, Europe, Japan and North AMErica and feature regularly in major exhibitions at home and abroad where they are used to compliment quality trees.
All pots are hand made and fired to stoneware temperature of 1260 degrees C so are frost proof. Ian's speciality is round pots thrown on the wheel but rectangles, cascades, slabs, crescents and freeform containers (and recently a new range of MAME and SHOHIN (SIZE) pots) are also made, all with a range of subtle glazes specifically developed for bonsai.
Pots can be purchased at BONSAI TRADERS ASSOCIATION events and British Shohin Association events. Orders can also be placed by phone or email. A Facebook page has been started and can be found below and on the Web Link button.

BARK(TREE)>BARK (TREE) - Basically this is the outermost layer on the trunk and branches of trees.

BARKBEETLE>BARK BEETLE - These are black or brown, cylindrically SHAPEd beetles which burrow under the bark and are particularly prevalent in CONIFERs.
FUNGUS developes in the tunnels and the holes of eMErging beetles appear. Bark may fall off and branches die.
Treatment involves removing and destroying infected branches, enriching the soil with phosphorous and POTASSIUM and spraying with lindane and PARATHION based INSECTICIDE in spring to kill beetles and at the end of winter to destroy larvae.

BARKBOUND>BARK BOUND - Applied to a tree whose growth has been stunted by drought or starvation, and whose bark as a result has becoME hard, thus inhibiting growth. The problem can be alleviated by slitting the bark vertically with a very sharp knife and growing the tree in open ground for at least one season.

BARKCLEANER>BARK CLEANER - Keeping old bark in pristine condition is a perennial problem, especially in the U.Ks damp climate. Because of the damp weather and regular WATERING, bark, which is very absorbent tends to be the perfect place for green ALGAE to colonize.
After tiME this can become quite thick and if not cleaned away will progress to a lush carpet of green moss, under which the precious old bark will be decaying.
Bark Cleaner and Algae Remover solves this problem. The product harnesses the power of sunlight to lift algae away from the supporting surface, it then simply dries up and blows away.
Treatment involves spraying the affected area until it is evenly damp and putting it in the sun to take effect.
