HomeUncategorizedColorado Bonsai – Quercus Grisea – Gray Oaks Update

My Gray Oaks – Quercus Grisea Bonsai was planted into a Sara Rayner pot this spring and it has responded well. The tree was hit by a lot of smaller hail stones during a bad thunderstorm and was damaged before shade cloth went up. The tree did loose a bunch of leaves. As of now the tree still has quite a few leaves and even has some acorns still on it. This is the first year the acorns have not dropped off the tree. They are very tiny. Moss was added to the tree and is looking really nice. I did remove a few new shoots from the tree and did incorporate some of the other newer branches in the design. The longest/oldest branch continued to die back and now the tip of the branch is now a deadwood feature. Gray Oaks will kill off branches for no reason. No bug activity detected either. Moss is now  being protected by large 1/4″ wide wire mesh allowing it to receive more sun then the window screen material was letting in.
