Winter storage

Steady 0 to +4 degrees celsius. Collected and repotted trees are safely out of the punishing autumn rains. The powerfull LED ramp in the ceiling is slowly reduced to correlate to outside hours of light. Should push new root growth and minimize risk of root rot. So far everything looks the right color but we´ll se in march/april.

Some of the deciduous trees that went into storage after leaf drop

Japanese snowball, Viburnum plicatum

Weekend work on this decidious shrub. I had go for something lower to fit that area in the garden. Might as well try to use it and pot it instead.

Scene of the crime after some serious root pruning.

At last in the pot to grow and regain some strenght. Straight to the storage to recover.

Collecting some yamadori

Maybe one of the last opportunities of the season to go into the woods and collect some future bonsai material. The big freeze is nowhere to be found with current temperature at about 5-8 degrees celsius and a lot of rain.

The forests around Stockholm was rewarding today with two new conifers to add to the growing collection of bonsai material.

Collected Spruce, Picea abies

Collected Scots pine, Pinus Sylvestris
