Wind Dangers
Wind can be a dangerous mistress for your bonsai! Today in the UK we are experiencing severe gales of up to 70mph. This can be bad news where your bonsai are concerned.
- If you have monkey poles you should make sure that the pots are either tied down or place them on the floor while it is windy.
- Try to place exposed trees in more sheltered areas to minimize the risk of damage
- Look above for rotted branches in full sized trees. These can easily snap off in high winds and crush a poor bonsai!
- Resist the temptation to bring the trees indoors as this can do more harm than good with the extreme change in climate.
- Finally… Go and find a big open field and fly a kite in it.
