It looks like Wolfgang's area has a highest temp of 37 deg celcious wich is at least 8 less than us.
This is what gets me though. I see the trees at the bonsai nursery's out in full sun.
I gatherd that the temps were they are(350 km away) had a slightly different climate. I am assured by Ray Nesci this is not my problem. but then again he grows beech and states it is too hot here for them? I often use the same soil as Ray because I buy it off him. I tried the shade house this year and ended up worse than ever.
It seems the more I try the worse it gets. Surley if Ray can grow his in full sun I should be able to grow mine in dappled shade.
I will try a few different soil mixes again next year. I prefer a soil mix that can be over watered, the one that stays wet for a few days in hot weather tends to catch me out. I would be concerned that spag moss would cause this problem.
I hope I can get it next year.
Thanks for all the responses, out of confusion will eventually come clarity.
