MISCLAIMS

hi! No--the mallsai died years ago. This tree is a real bonsai from a real bonsai dealer.

I have a small deck sized greenhouse w/a zipper plastic front that Ill be keeping the trees in. The whole thing is encased in plastic. I was going to get shallow tubs and put the mulch in there to insulate the trees. They will get plenty of light while they are in this green house and I can unzip it on warmer days and unzip it to mist them. Southern NJ Coastal winters are usually pretty mild w/very few huge freeze snaps.

The reason I like Junipers is they are what I think of as a real bonsai. They are just so pretty. Juniper 1 & 2 are doing well. Jasper is the sick one and Travis the first one (mallsai) are the problem ones. It seems like as long as I don't name them, they seem ok. I just got a new one from Florida that looks relatively healthy.

Im thinking Ill plant Jasper in the garden as the upper part of the truck in still showing green. The lower part seems to be showing up brown on the scratch tests.

Thanks for all your help everyone--keep those suggestions coming!
