Unattended Pre-Bonsai -- possible?
"Robert Campbell" wrote in message
...
Hi:
My family owns undeveloped property outside of Visalia, California. I
asked Mom (the owner)
if I could put some pre-bonsia in the ground. She thinks that the trees
would die due to lack
of attention ( it's 6 hours away).
It's hot in the summer and may get some snow in winter. My plan to put
hardy local types up
there (oak, pepper, juniper, pine, sequoia, etc) that have nice rootballs
in well prepared
beds. I could visit 2-4 times a year. Certainly, I need to do much more
research ...
What does the group thinks my chances of success might be?
Bob,
This is not specifically a bonsai response, but plants in general. I
think you have great chance of success except for 1 thing. You will need to
stay with the plants for the first 4 - 6 weeks to keep the water up to them
while they get settled in...
