Thank you Bonsainut - that sounds good to me, at least I'm not too worried right now.

I'm going to solve the outdoor overwinter process sometime, right now I just concentrate on learning and observing. This tree is the closest thing to a nice looking bonsai that I have, the others are in the early stages of pre pre pre-potentilla and need a few years before getting a trunk like this one... That's why I'm eager to make it survive the winter.


Another question might be in order here. I've already gotten advice at a swedish forum but a second opinion is always nice:

The roots of this tree absolutely fill up the bottom half of the pot. It's almost impossible to see any soil there - just roots (they are white tipped and strong so they seem healthy). Should I attempt a minor root pruning or should I follow the advice I got and wait til spring? I also got a tip about temporarily planting the whole rootmass - as it is - in a larger container, to give the roots some space while I wait for spring...

Any ideas?
