Default [IBC] zelkova problem

thanx!

Ivan,

I don't see that anyone has jumped in here to help you so I'll try even

though I don't have a zelkova and live where I only occasionally get a
frost.

Your tree may still have some green leaves now, but it will go dormant and

it can handle the cold. Hortus Second says it's hardy to New England
(that's cold) and Sunset says to their zone 3 (10-15 F, -13 to -15C) so 0
degrees C shouldn't be a real problem. Put it in the garage and don't worry
about it's light requirements. It will go dormant, and should suffer no
harm. Let the leaves fall on their own.

If you folks in the cold areas think otherwise, jump in here and help Ivan

out.
Regards,
Shelly Hurd Central CA - Sunset Zone 8-USDA Zone 9
