Club Information
The Shohin Bonsai Society of Southern
California was established in 1979. Shohin Bonsai encompasses smaller
Bonsai trees up to 10 inches in height. They include trees in the Shito
category up to 3 inches, Mame Bonsai between 3 and 6 inches, and Shohin
trees up to 10 inches. As a small club, we favor more "hands on" meetings
where members bring material to work on or we work on material owned by the
Club. We also bring in guests for demonstrations and often feature experts
from our own membership to lead "hands on" demonstrations.

Annual Exhibit
The Club holds an annual Bonsai and
Suiseki Exhibit in combination with the Santa Anita Bonsai Society in May
during the Memorial Day Weekend. The exhibit is held at the Los Angeles
County Arboretum. The Bonsai size standards for the show are a maximum
height of 10 inches (from the lip of the pot to the top of the apex or from
the apex to the lowest portion for cascades) and a maximum pot length of 11
inches. The Suiseki size standard is 11 inches combined measurement (height
plus width of the stone).
