The oak is a hardy tree. Here in the Irish climate they are some of the last to loose their leaves in the winter, in warmer climates they behave more like a fir and don't shed until the new leaves come through in April.
Brought her in for Oíche na Gaoithe Móire 2: Electric Boogaloo, and Bonsai Oak has survived another winter, turning 3 when the new leaves unfold. No shaping or pruning this year, I'm going to let her go mad and see what she looks like at Samhain.
I've added a Pear tree to my collection in a terracotta pot, which being non draining, should help to retain water in the summer, a big problem for potted pear. Just waiting now to see if the two horse chestnuts and two acorns I planted last autmn will spring up, as I plan to make at least one of them a smaller category of bonsai.
