bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - oak and/or maple? also, a question on Holly

Yes, I'm well aware that they are hardy trees, and have more than enough land to overwinter them. Since the pine tree section is pretty overgrown and nasty looking, I can dig holes in there to overwinter them and just stake the trees to make sure they don't get mowed down. As our area of Indiana is pretty much a giant sand dune, I thought that if I took the trees, dug a hole, coated the inside with peat moss, then drop the pot down in a bed of good soil that it should be good on overwintering. Seasons here aren't too extreme, and I figure that it might as well be a good idea to start with what is local so I'm not working with anything too touchy.
