Il pleut depuis des jours, et ce n'est pas fini. Pas la peine d'arroser.
Finalement tous les arbres ont plus ou moins bien survécu aux périodes de canicule de cet été, avec l'aide d'un parasol et deux arrosages par jour.
Le ginkgo commence à virer au jaune.
Les pins auraient bien besoin d'un nettoyage, surtout celui de gauche qui se met à pousser de façon anarchique et a bien trop d'aiguilles !
Makes me want to get into bonsai, these pictures. I always wanted a blossoming cherry tree and a Japanese maple that turned very red in the autumn. I have multiples of regular sizes in the garden, but tiny ones would be a lovely addition.
RépondreSupprimerHi Meg,
RépondreSupprimerNot so difficult, in fact. Here, in south-west France, we do love japanese maples, but they suffer a lot during summers. Here, summers are very dry, hot and with a dry-and-hot south wind that makes soils get dry very quickly and can kill small trees just by heat.
This summer, i had to water my bonsais twice a day, just to keep them alive !
Maybe you can find a bonsai club in Nelson ?
There is a club here. And we do have dry hot summers but usually without the wind. (That's spring and autumn.) But the big question is always, do I need another hobby! :-D
