[IBC] trunk chop
Greetings all,
I am trying to develop my first bonsai (pl.) In Spring 2004, and Fall 2004, I have collected a number of relatively small (cca 6cm, 2.3in diameter) plants of native species (maples, elms, hawthorns, hornbeams) to start practicing. They have been growing in the ground since then without much work done on them. The next Spring, I would like to perform trunk chops. On the other hand, I will be moving the plants to another location (also in the ground), and so I would like to check the roots (maybe trim the straight downward ones) and plant the trees over a tile (or, possibly, in a basket?). Do you think it is safe to perform both actions? Or should I just move the plants and wait another season for the chopping? Cheers, Rastislav ------------- Bratislava, Slovakia Central Europe zone 6-7 coordinates: 17 7´ E, 48 9´ N elevation: 126-514 m (413.4-1686 ft) avg temp January: -1.6C (29.12F) avg temp July: 20.1C (68.18F) avg temp overall: 10.3C (50.54F) sunshine: 1976.4 hr/year rainfall: 527.4 mm/year (20.76 in/year) ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by John Romano++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
