If anyone knows anything about these as trees let me know. Position Care Feed Pot size (how big should a pot be to allow a 10m high tree) Any way bonsai. Ive take a cutting. Are these outdoor bonsai or can they be kept indoors. What are there requirements Sam Samhurst - WN4 8QY, Zone "Chinese Elm"   Fbonsailady  Supporting Member My Favorite Photo My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Sunday, July 08, 2007 - 05:26 pm EST :    If you're intending to let it grow 10 meters high (that will of course take several years), it would be much better to plant it into the garden. Whatever you decide put it in a position where it doesn't get strong north or easterly cold winds blowing over it and also not where it would get strong pm summer sun on it, especially as a young tree. The reason for this is that the leaves are susceptible to sun and wind burn. Kath Zone 8b UK   Samhurst  Posted on Monday, July 09, 2007 - 01:45 pm EST :    Ok, thanks. Thought you may know haha. i am aware that it will take a while to grow tall. Would like to think i could do it though. It is in the shade until 3-4pm then gets sun until 7pm Hows that sound Samhurst - WN4 8QY, Zone "Chinese Elm"
