Question
This is a clarification of an earlier submitted question. We bought a coast redwood seedling in April to grow as a bonsai. It has been outside in central NY since then except for the hottest days. It gets watered by soaking the whole pot 5-7 times per week and has been doing very well. How do I treat it for the upcoming winter? Should it be brought inside? How should the watering schedule be changed?

Answer
Hi Charles,

My recommendation is to seek expert help from http://www.Learning2Bonsai.com

I am not sure how to treat a redwood for the winter. You definately do not want to bring the tree indoors, but i am not sure what the ideal winter conditions are. I'm guessing this tree needs dormancy and therefore will need to be left outdoors or in a cold shed, but i don't want to mislead you with care instructions. Try asking your question on Learning2Bonsai.com. Someone will definately answer your question.
