Hello Bonsai Empire
This is my 1st post here, so please bear with me as I learn your ropes.
While on vacation I picked up a pre bonsai Cedar tree with excellent branch placement at New England Bonsai near Boston.
I need some general care help as far as pruning, feeding, and wintering.
Can I hard prune in Feb-Mar, or when is best if ever to do so.
There's a couple places where I'd like to prune old wood near a branch
to change direction, or cause better ramification.
WINTERING:
Purchased from a colder climate area than me (zone 6 in WV near Oh, and Ky)
I've no idea how long this tree was in their care.
Normall, I heel all my trees into the ground in Dec when the snows begin.
We reach near 0°F. normally, and on occaision lower for short periods of time.
I'm reading that cedars require freeze protection, and wind breaks for the winter. This is a major concern even though we hit 104° just yesterday.
So any helps along these lines are appreciated.
