So is Chinese Elm really an Indoor Tree? (Just one of the topics covered today)
In this video I talk through all the Essential Bonsai tasks for December / January. With the temperatures dropping, what do I REALLY need to do to protect my trees? I look at the choices I make to protect my valuable bonsai & developing saplings / Pre-Bonsai. Grantham is Zone 9b so overnight temperatures rarely stay below -5C for longer than a couple of days (if ever). The biggest issue I have to deal with in my garden nursery is the howling gales that constantly freeze the tips of my ramified bonsai!
So what can you do? Easy – watch the video and find out. Or, you can just cast your eye over the headings below and get an idea of what I will be doing before settling down for Christmas Bonsai Carols…
AND…There is so much work to get done before I can finally update my ACCESS Bonsai Management System.
