[IBC] Chinese elm wintering
Dan
Please remind us where you live and where you normally keep the tree. A couple of ideas. If Elms are over watered they will drop leaves and keep trying to grow new ones. If you let it dry out some, it begins to heal itself. I think this is what happened to your Elm. Some Chinese Elms here in warm Florida never really lose all their leave. If you have a sunny location indoors, with good air circulation, you can over winter your tree there and then maybe next season (Fall 2006) you can allow a normal dormant period. But, please don't over water.

[IBC] Chinese elm wintering
Dan Please remind us where you live and where you normally keep the tree. Northern england, and i keep the tree outside in a sunny spot A couple of ideas. If Elms are over watered they will drop leaves and keep trying to grow new ones. If you let it dry out some, it begins to heal itself. I think this is what happened to your Elm. You might be right, but i didnt think i had over watered, i gave it water about every 3 days or so. Some Chinese Elms here in warm Florida never really lose all their leave. If you have a sunny location indoors, with good air circulation, you can over winter your tree there and then maybe next season (Fall 2006) you can allow a normal dormant period. But, please don't over water. So i keep it indoors because its started a new growing cycle and wont go dormant for winter? It seems to have been in a growing period for a very long time (since March or so) Is there any way i could force it into dormancy? thanks for your help dan |
