  • My Cotoneaster survived the severe root pruning from last spring and today it is getting top pruned.
    Today's update is my Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) vine.

    I was terrified for a moderate root and branch pruning on my new cotoneaster this year, but having seen yours, I feel very safe now.

    I wonder if you could wrap the vines together so as to fuse the 3 together for one thick trunk & go from there.

    Thank you for mentioning, by the way, about the breaking dormancy. I have a wisteria that broke dormancy this year. I was going to chuck it outside into the cold, now I know not to! I'll protect it indoors until it warms up in April

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  Год назад +1

      It is best to keep the trees dormant if possible, if they do leaf out, the new leaves should be protected from hard frosts!

      @@TheBonsaiZone thanks, Nigel! I guess for a potted plant in particular, it's just super taxing if they were to break dormancy and the leaves died - then having to reproduce leaves again (which you stated). thank you!

    Hi Nigel, I know that in watching you, it is a good time to prune trees. I am wondering if it is also a good time to do transplanting of trees, or should it be left until spring. Thankyou

      @skrounst Год назад +2

      What type of climate do you live in? Generally you wanna wait until late winter/ early spring, right before (or as) the tree breaks it's dormancy. but if you live in a warm climate you could probably get away with it, but it can be risky depending on the tree's health.

      I have found that the greenhouse stays in the shade most of the day in the winter, it's only in the sun for about three hours in the afternoon, and it doesn't seem to heat it up much. I had my heater on a bit too high this winter, compared to the outside temperatures, good for me working away in the greenhouse, but not so good for the trees!

    Is it bad if trees that are placed inside break dormancy early? I’ve put olives inside for the winter and they started growing already.

      If they bud out early, the leaves should be protected from any hard frosts!
