Kevin: You're coddling your flowering plum to death! This tree loves to be
out in the cold and should have lost its leaves months ago. However, since
you've been keeping it indoors, it would be too much of a shock to put it
outside now. Keep it in to coolest place in the house ( an unheated garage
would be even better), and turn off the light!

Subject: [IBC] Flowering Plum Bonsai tree question.


Hi well actually I have 2 questions. I am new to bonsai and for Christmas
I
received my first, of hopefully many bonsai trees. It is a Flowering Plum
Bonsai. I live in central NY, if that helps.

My 1st question where is a good place to find info on this tree? I have
looked and have not found much.

My 2nd question is alot of the leaves on the tree have wilted (I have been
watering it). I have it under a growing light also. Does this tree go
dormant in the winter? If not what should I do to help my tree?

Thanks
