I visited the garden of a very experienced bonsai club member Saturday and he explained that he was using kanuma instead of akadama along with the usual 1/3 lava and 1/3 pumice for his oak trees. Seems logical to me as many of my collected oaks were growing in leaf duff which is fairly acidic and kanuma has a lower pH than akadama. The results looked pretty impressive; some of the healthiest oaks I've seen.
I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this. I plan to experiment with it on a few trees next spring.
