Dormancy Questions

I realize this question flys in the face of what "should" be done but being new to this hobby I have to ask.

As well as being in minnesota!

Seeing that Bonsai is practiced globaly and some of you are in more temparate climates, wouldnt it be reasonable to assume that if one had the proper setup such as pdbonsai with his indoor atrium of sorts, you could "break" dormancy early for some trees?


I realize this wouldnt work for all types of trees.

If you live in Texas - dormancy would be a short time relative to MN. How long does a tree need to be dormant to get appropriate rest?
Also I know that some people take their trees in early in spring to avoid the freeze - thaw cycles we get here, but how early can you go.

The only drawback I can see is proper lighting and the trees will be indoors for a term.

Sorry for the run on sentances but Im just flowing thoughts
