Hi Caroline,

I take it you live in Pennsylvania as well...? Knowing your climate will
allow others to give better advice as to which bonsai may work best.

Hi Folks--

I'm going to Longwood Gardens (Pennsylvania) this weekend to drool over
their bonsai collection and get some ideas.
After a house fire, I now have a beautiful new house and a wonderful
place to put my own collection. I haven't done any bonsai work since I left
sunny Florida twenty years ago but I'm so sick of the cold weather that I'm
cheering myself up with spring plans for which plants and shrubs to use.
I'm very rusty on the particulars but I'm a quick study. Any advice for
bonsais that will be kept outside most of the year would be appreciated.

Yes, I did forget to mention that I live in Delaware, just a few miles
from Longwood Gardens. I'm told I should concentrate on Zone 5 plants.
Ummmm how do I know what plants are Zone 5?

Caroline: Do yourself a favor and pay a visit to Rosade Bonsai Studios in New Hope,
PA. You can learn a lot about bonsai there and get a more productive start on your
bonsai renaissance. You can find them at:

Thanks Alan for the idea. The website alone is worth the trip.
