Unattended Pre-Bonsai -- possible?
Hi:
My family owns undeveloped property outside of Visalia, California. I asked Mom (the owner) if I could put some pre-bonsia in the ground. She thinks that the trees would die due to lack of attention ( it's 6 hours away). It's hot in the summer and may get some snow in winter. My plan to put hardy local types up there (oak, pepper, juniper, pine, sequoia, etc) that have nice rootballs in well prepared beds. I could visit 2-4 times a year. Certainly, I need to do much more research ... What does the group thinks my chances of success might be? Thank You bob campbell zone 7 Fremont CA ps: I read the group via usenet if that matters, the email address is valid and heavily filtered. |

I think you have great chance of success except for 1 thing. You will need to stay with the plants for the first 4 - 6 weeks to keep the water up to them while they get settled in... Brian |
