Around last year, I reported about one of my bonsais: it happened to start growing its leaves around March 15th of 2005. That very same tree is still alive and once again, it went through the normal process of losing leaves. It actually stayed for the longest time outside.
Earlier this week, I noticed that it was already growing its knobs and actually, I expect it to complete the process of extending its leaves within a couple of days. Which is way too early.
Where it is now (the porch once again), it happens to be a lot more warmer than before, which tells me that this year we already had a lot more sunny days than last year. The good thing is that it’s still reasonable cool during the nights, which hopefully delays the foilage process.
As a matter of fact, this year, I’ll think twice before I decide to bring it outside again: during last Summer, the bonsai happened to be one of the most popular destinations for the ants and their aphids. And earwigs. And wasps.
