Evergreen bonsai tree care

Most outdoor bonsai trees you buy have already been through their training period, thus requiring only periodic trimming and pinching to remain miniature. Pinch and trim back the new growth to the farthest safe point. Never should all of the new growth be removed.

Repotting must be performed periodically when root system has filled the pot. The reasons for this is to supply your tree with fresh soil, and to encourage a more compact root system. evergreens only need to be repotted every four or five years. Since trees grow at different rates, this schedule will not always hold true, therefore, you should examine your tree's root system each year to determine if it has become root bound in the pot.

Evergreens need the cool environment during the winter season. Depending on your location and the weather pattern Thanksgiving is the time to prepare your bonsai for its winter dormancy period which lasts about three months.  One method is to bury your tree in the ground preferably without the pot, the depth should be close to the same as the rim of the container and then mulch up to the first branch.  Choose a location that is protected from wind and sun, but not the rain or snow.

Another way which is favored by many growers that live in very cold climates is to place your evergreen bonsai tree in an unheated garage or shed. Your bonsai tree does not require light because its in a dormant state, but will require watering possibly around every two weeks.

Evergreen bonsai trees should be placed outside, on a patio or in a garden in the springtime

Once outside, your bonsai should be positioned where it will receive a good amount of sun light, preferably morning sun and afternoon shade is best.  If you grow these outdoor bonsai trees in a container they can be brought into the house on special occasions and displayed in a prominent place for a few days at a time, providing it is not too warm.
