[IBC] Chinese Elm...
Recently brought an Elm (i think - from a supermarket, no
really - its got lovely roots, bit of work and it'll be fine) Now - indoor or outdoor? - I've been leaving it out recently in this mild weather by should I bring it in soon? Also when should I re pot? John UK Never try and keep a Chinese Elm indoors for long periods. I never bring mine in. When the frosts come, I put a clear plastic bag over my tree. Elms are quite tough trees, especially considering that they come from the orient (and so are not used to such cold weather). Never say never. I have a couple of friends who "never" put their elms outside, and they're (the elms, not the friends) quite nice trees (though the friends are OK, too. [Luckily for me they don't read the IBC.]). Chinese elms are one of those trees that simply seem not to care where they are if you can give them light, water and nutrients. (They're also (MY opinion) quite often very dull trees -- and yes, I have a few [including dull ones].) That said, all trees, including Chinese elms will do better outside than in, weather permitting. I suspect that Chinese elms will do fine outdoors all year long in the UK (given our recent conversation on climate zones). {NOTE: Reference the elms-are-quite-tough-considering-they-come-from-the-orient statement, the orient" happens to include some of the coldest places on earth. That's not, however, (I hasten to add) where the Chinese elms in question happen to come from -- through the very-closely-related, Siberian elms are another matter.} Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Who has never before today managed to use all 4 kinds of parentheses and brackets on the keyboard in a single message. ;-) ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Dale Cochoy++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
