Hi Everyone,

First of all let me introduce myself, my name is Pim and I am a Dutch guy living in the north of Italy.
Currently I have 4 “Pre Bonsai” styled by me over the years.

1) Olea europaea.
2) Fagus Sylvatica.
3) Juniperus
4) Chamaecyparis

Now for my question and first post on this forum.
Here in the north of Italy we’ve had some very unstable weather, we’ve had midnight freezing temperatures (- 4 Degrees Celsius).
And the next day during the day 10 to 14 Degrees Celsius, now my “problem” is that my Fagus Sylvatica’s have already started to put out some buds ....

What should I do let nature take its course or intervene in some way, my mind tells me “don’t touch them”.
But they should be repotted next year, it’s a forest in the making, now I don’t know if this is a “non problem” or not.

Can you experts kindly advice me?


Ciao,

Pim.

It is not a problem, and will not do any harm. Mine are also moving as are some others. It is normal. -4C is not cold, for those species.

But... that's normal, isn't it? My plants have formed buds too. Or do you mean the buds are leafing out already?
