Dear forum,
My name is Julio, and I would like to say hello to everyone.
Let’s have a brief introduction first. For the past years I have developed my bonsai hobby in Spain. Something like 3 years ago I moved to Basel, Switzerland. Last autumn I decided to recap with the hobby here again, so I bought I few frees, mainly raw material (Acer palmatum “sin deshojo”, one Ulmus and one Picea).
As it was quite warm in the last weeks and the trees started to sprout I had to repot the Sin deshojo (like one week ago).
The trees are doing well, the Ulmus is really full of buds opening as well as the Sin deshojo. The Picea also has quite a lot of buds, but not ready to be repotted I would say.
Unfortunately the temperature will drop quite a lot in the following days, where temperatures of -2°C or -3°C (26-28 F) are expected at night for one week. Therefore I am a bit concerned about what to do with the trees. As they are in a terrace and I don’t have any greenhouse the only option would be to bring them inside during night. I assume even if the temperatures are low the Picea and it’s buds will do OK outside, right? So my concern is more about the recently repotted Acer Palmatum and the fresh buds and new growth of the Ulmus.
What do you think?
Thank you very much,
Julio
