All due respect, but I disagree. Unless you get a February pushing 70 to be followed by a late March blizzard. Or the year we had near two feet of snow in April!!!

We had 80s this past February, stuff started budding, then it cooled off well into April. The trees sure don't like that. We don't generally have the chore of taking trees inside and then back outside. That would sure suck.

So in the south do you just watch the weather closely and bring them inside over night.
How do you prepare for quick freezes?
How long does the freeze last one day or 2 weeks?
Here we freeze for months. Just wondering.

I watch the weather forecast like a hawk. I pretty much know going in what my trees will take and plan accordingly. This year I'll be putting up a greenhouse and that should make caring for the more sensitive species easier. Our freezes usually only last a couple days to maybe a week. Certainly not months. Brrrr!

The last one looks like Sweetgum to me, but those and red maples can look a like when young, but they'll make good bonsai too.

Good luck!

Not sure if its sweetgum or red maple, but its doing something lol

Haha still can't tell, but I'm still leaning towards sweetgum... Something about the lobes and sinuses just don't look like red maple to me. And the kinda of chartreuse color of the foliage reminds me of liquidambar.

After googling "liquidambar" you might be right lol
