We take a brief look at the basic tree biology and what is involved in the process of winter dormancy as it applies to bonsai trees.
Deciduous bonsai trees need to experience a period of winter dormancy in order to remain healthy and to flourish. The process not only allows the bonsai tree to protect itself from the worst of the harsh winter conditions, but like sleep for us, it is an opportunity to rest, recharge and prepare for the coming spring.
Enjoy🙏
