I am a total bonsai novice and have been given a grove of young sequoia trees. It's 30 degrees plus here in summer down to 5 at night in winter. Any tips on placement, watering, spraying, feeding etc gratefully received. I have also read about Giant Sequoia Bonsai Plant food but it seems it's only shipped within USA - any ideas where I could get it in Spain or UK ?

I have managed to kill a couple of sequoias so not of much help there really so keep them alive and you will be doing better than I.
I couldn't find any specialit fertilizer either with a brief search but you can probably get away with a good univeral garden one.

Sequoia can not read labels, any fertilizer good for junipers, pines and other conifers will be fine. Nutrient requirements do not vary much at all between different species and families of plants.

In their native habitat, it can be hot and dry during the day, but most of the year, at night fog rolls in, and they absorb condensation through their needles. So mist them in the evening if your climate is arid day and night.
