Banking on a late growth season.
Because of the unusual weather here (and probably everywhere) i am pruning hard fertilising, lightly and repotting my grow on trees. I usually do very little work on future stock and just let them do their thing but i reckon the way it is looking, my trees do not look like slowing down any time soon. I will take the opportunity to have a look and see how they are doing instead of just watering them. It will probably take a few days and i will add, especially the Japanese maples. Interesting times.

Things are slowing down here. I don't know if you will get much strong growth now - and your colder than me.

I don't trust Bonsai, they are a little shady.

Re: Banking on a late growth season.
Hot here too but the days are shorter. The trees know what's coming. eg, My chinese elm is still growing and still being fertilized well but it's not putting out the shoots it did a month ago. It's all good..
