So last year I only had a couple trees...now I have more. Just checking to see if my overwinter plans are solid or if I'm missing anything.
I have many of my Yamadori in training pots half or fully buried in the ground, some with plastic to protect the trunks from squirrels, voles etc. I've even planted a few (2 dogwoods and 2 oaks) to give them a few years in the ground to thicken up.
I've moved some pots and seeds that need cold stratification into the shed with spring bulbs so the squirrels don't eat/move them.
Some pots that were too nice for burying are moved into the shed for better protection.
A couple of my favorites (deciduous like a JM and a hornbeam, an azealia and two juniper) are in the garage.
Questions: those that are in the shed and garage will still get their cold period of dormancy. They will still need a small amount of water, correct? The deciduous trees probably don't need light, but will the Juniper and such be fine without? The shed and garage do have windows but they will get very limited light.
Thanks for the advice!
