They seem to grow OK in Taiwan, which doesn't get very cold either. There's a drool-jerker in another thread here. http://forum.bonsaitalk.com/showthr...s=&postid=31659 Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?

So will the red and the swamp maple. They might need a little afternoon shade to keep the leaves from scorching in the Florida sun but that should not be to hard to supply.
