I have a few trident maples and two of them still have green leaves on them. One of them is a 2-3 year old seedling and it's still putting out new growth. The second is a larger pre-bonsai I bought a month ago and it still has green leaves on it although the leaves are starting to change colors. All my other seedlings and pre-bonsai tridents have already dropped all their leaves. I have both of them outside if the temperature is above freezing. I bring them into the garage over night if the temp gets below freezing. When I bought the pre-bonsai tree I was told to not let it freeze, so that is why I'm bringing it in at night.
I'm zone 6b and have heard that tridents can't be left out all winter in this zone. Not sure if that was accurate or not but the pre-bonsai is a nice tree and I don't want to kill it.
Is there a way to get them to go dormant for the winter besides what I'm currently doing?
Thanks.
