[IBC] i know its early .. but
I know its little early.... but i have wintering question. My girlfriend
just bought me a beautiful trident maple bonsai. established in a pot, 4 inch trunk... only ramifying and refining to work on.. i love it! trouble is i never wintered a trident. My options are limited in that i dont have a hoophouse or a cold frame. or anwhere to build one right now. i have been succesful at wintering my hardy trees by mulching them and wind breaking. I plan to do the same for the trident... but i worry about the temperature range. IT gets cold around here.. in the 20's and teens for weeks some times in southeastern Pennsylvania. I could maybe put it in the basement.. but i dont think it stays below 40 down there all time. theres the outside shed/garge... but the temperature would still drop inside. OR someone elses garage that's attached to the house. but then i wouldnt be there to monitor temperature. But what about diggin a hole in the ground and mulching it into the hole? would this be affective in controlling the temperature around the roots? ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Mike Page ++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
