Winterhazel $56
Decdiuous plant of the witch hazel family having bell-shaped creamy to yellow fragrant flowers appear in hanging clusters in early spring before the leaves. Will need winter dormancy.
Juniper $40
Junipers should be put outside in the spring when the temperature is above 40°F. Try to give your juniper at least a half day of full sun. It is important to be consistent and not keep moving it in and out. Keep it outside day and night, until the late autumn/early winter temperatures are consistently around freezing. This will insure that the bonsai goes into dormancy slowly and naturally, and will have time to harden off and store energy to prepare for the winter. Once temperatures are at freezing consistently you will need to give your bonsai some winter protection. A cool or cold (25°F to 45°F), well-ventilated, bright place is best. An unheated room, attached garage, cool basement, etc., is sufficient. Don't forget to check for water through the winter.
