Longwood Gardens visit
Xref: news7 rec.arts.bonsai:57797
Hi Folks-- I'm going to Longwood Gardens (Pennsylvania) this weekend to drool over their bonsai collection and get some ideas. After a house fire, I now have a beautiful new house and a wonderful place to put my own collection. I haven't done any bonsai work since I left sunny Florida twenty years ago but I'm so sick of the cold weather that I'm cheering myself up with spring plans for which plants and shrubs to use. I'm very rusty on the particulars but I'm a quick study. Any advice for bonsais that will be kept outside most of the year would be appreciated. Caroline |

Longwood Gardens visit
I'm going to Longwood Gardens (Pennsylvania) this weekend to drool over
their bonsai collection and get some ideas. After a house fire, I now have a beautiful new house and a wonderful place to put my own collection. Any advice for bonsai (sic) that will be kept outside most of the year would be appreciated. You don't make it clear where you live. Are you in southeast Pennsylvania near Longwood, or elsewhere? The Longwood area is Zone 7. The usual rule of thumb is that for a containerized plant to be left outdoors all winter unprotected, you need to subtract two zones, so you would be limited to plants that are hardy to Zone 5 or lower. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "The trouble with people is not that they don't know but that they know so much that ain't so." Josh Billings (Henry Wheeler Shaw), 1818-1885 |
