Hello All,

Here in eastern Maryland it's a common practice to winterize our
bonsais by putting them in the ground up to the rim of the pot or on the
ground. In both cases leaves are mounded around the trees as added
protection. This month I am having hand surgery and my hand will be in
a splint for the following 6 to 8 weeks. I will be unable to winterize
my trees in the usual way. I am wondering if an acceptable alternative
would be to bury the trees in the ground by the middle of October
(before the hand surgery). Does this sound reasonable to you all? Or
is there a better alternative I haven't considered?

With thanks,

Carol Schroeder
Maryland, zone 6/7
