I do not believe in sterile mixes in bonsai. I even put crushed tree bark in the mix, together with some peat...yes, I know it gives acidic reaction to substrate but it suits my trees well. It also promotes miccorhyza in the substrateSebastijan Sandevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06765080712238978454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533987795520618981.post-77193841403695213922013-05-02T17:29:13.061+02:002013-05-02T17:29:13.061+02:00Hi Sebastijan,

As long as the tree is protected from extremes of the weather it's ok. <br />I think this tree would be ok even without protection...this is a continental local species well adjusted to low temperatures around my home. But, I do winter protect routinely newly collected stuff...and in my winter shelter it's +2C. That means it really doesn't matter if tree is collected now, in February.Sebastijan Sandevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06765080712238978454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533987795520618981.post-6929841441026512932013-02-12T08:41:58.426+01:002013-02-12T08:41:58.426+01:00I was also surprised...I thought it is not so good...I was also surprised...I thought it is not so good...turned out to be better than I suspected :)Sebastijan Sandevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06765080712238978454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533987795520618981.post-26441477501742933092013-02-11T22:20:26.931+01:002013-02-11T22:20:26.931+01:00Dear Sebastijan,

I am quite sure, after some growing seasons, along with a solid bit of carving, wiring, exposing the nebari...you will feel adrenaline in your veins with this tree, when you see it turns out to be a bonsai carrying the beast of nature within. greets, Yves from belgiumcrataegushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14277843763632061387noreply@blogger.com
