I could put in safety the bigger ones.. but a trident
maple a prunus mume has been badly defoliated and many
branches and twig broken as well a seigen that had a very
hard time to put back some leaves after a half defoliation
.....
a pentaphilla very small had most of his o new needles
taken away:-( or broken twigs it had a real hard time to
struggle for life after a tought repotting on rock .

well Nature did his trimming and defoliating .. I guess
all the injured littles ones will survive and will put
leaves back and will have more wabi and sabi added by the
touch of elements


Goodness! We kinda expect that kind of weather here in the
