This thread on refrigerator overwintering really piqued my interest: https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/refrigerator-dormancy.10325/
I'm currently in Minnesota cold and plan to use an unheated garage to keep trees from dying in the crazy-cold weathers. Seems doable, and I've had success with "experiment trees" before (given, they're native and not Japanese Maples). But it seems like I might have another problem when I move to Palo Alto, CA (near the Bay Area).
Has anyone who's lived in a Zone 10-ish area had success with refrigerator-induced dormancy long-term for Japanese Maples? I saw an article from Brent of Evergreen Gardenworks about it.
Really curious to see if anyone's actually had long-term success. Please share your setup!
