Very cool, that looks almost exactly like mine, but mine is a little wider. Looks like you already need another one. 😉
I’m soo happy! I finally got high speed internet service for the 1st time in my life… I did a speedtest and got 12.8 meg down with a 42ms ping time, Awesome! (I’m letting my inner geek out, so all of you geeks injoy with me 😆 )

King Artie! I lol’d when I saw this. Very nice detail, and nice color choice. We still gotta find you a keeper! 😀
I’ve been working on this one on and off for a while. Elsa is not for sale, she is going to a friend that needs a pick-me-up.
I painted this one to match “Koondra” my very first PYO, with some slight changes.
Thankies. :hi:

There is also moss growing in the pot which also may help it. I don’t think you have to worry about the roots freezing as long as they are mostly covered in soil and the weather isn’t insanely cold.
Thank’s for the info, that’s very helpful. I’ll just leave it outside then and move it to the shed if it gets really cold. But if you knock snow off yours and it’s still alive, then I don’t think I’ll have any problems here in Oklahoma. (It barely snows here in the winter)
LavenderStarfish wrote:I have 3 bonsai. During the summer I keep all 3 outside. 2 of the trees, a Shimpaku Juniper and a Japanese Elm are kept outside year round. I live in Chicagoland, and these two trees need to go dormant in the cold Chicago winters. The juniper I have had for a year and a half, and last winter it’s normally green needles turned dark red. I was kind of concerned for it, but come spring the needles turned deep green again. Right now they are starting to turn red once more. The elm is a newer tree and its leaves turned yellow about a month ago and now they all fell off. I am confident this is normal autumn behavior and the leaves will return in the spring. One of my trees is a tropical species and cannot be outside in temperatures under 35 degrees F. I keep forgetting the name of this tree, but I have it indoors right now right next to a window. So you just have to be careful and do some research on the tree you have. I haven’t done much with shaping the trees yet, as that is an art in itself that I need to learn more about. The juniper did have a wire on it when I bought it, and I was told to cut it off after a couple months, which I did. I water the trees almost every day in the summer, but in the winter the trees outdoors do not need as much water while they are dormant. The indoor tree I water about every other day. Hope this helps 🙂
~HeatherYes thank you for posting. I’ve been keeping my Juniper outside all day, but I do bring it inside at nights because the temp does drop below freezing. (It says the Japanese Juniper are pretty hardy and can handle a great variety of temperatures, just don’t let the roots get below freezing.) I’m not sure if this is ok, because I’m worried that it might put the tree in “shock” going to mid 30-40s to mid 60s every day. :shrug: I’ve been keeping an eye on the water, and it seems to be staying pretty damp. I’ve only been watering it about 1-2 times a week.
Is your Juniper an evergreen species? The Japanese Juniper is.
*takes one while you’re not looking* Ha! They look amazingly delicious.. :yum:
