[IBC] Non organic Yamadori soil
Hi Michael,
This is an old one. You said: Two years ago I almost lost a 50-year old Ulmus davidiana to an 8+ week freeze. I too thought they were hardy. );-) All trees have a limit, and we all need to understand the impact of our regional weather and wintering methods on our trees. I lost every needle on a Pinus thunbergiana "Mikawa" during the same freeze. Go figure... Method Used: cold shed Alternative Method: White co-poly covered bench; cold garage. The difference is that co-poly warms the mulch bed by day and slowly cools at night. The shed remains quite cold. I couldn't tell whether you were recommending the the co-poly covered bench or the shed. As you said the co-poly would warm the mulch during the day but the shed or garage would provide some insulation from the cold ground. Thanks, Steve ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by John Romano++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
