You can set the pots in larger pots and let the roots escape through the drainage holes. It works well to get the trees through summer. I'm sure this technique has been around forever but I learned of it through @jeremy_norbury.

Nice tree's you got, you are setting the bar high !
Also thnx allot for adding the extra progression pics it realy shows why mame trees are such fun with such small material where the comment would be grow a thick trunk first with these little tree's building of primary branching starts rather quick and shows fast results with normaly uninteresting small cheap stock

I just found out about this. This is so cool. Of course I'm not going to even try to enter so I'll just follow along for fun.
I got a cutting of bald cypress that I'm going to attempt to put into a mame sized pot this spring. It wont' be much of a bonsai but it will be a lot of fun!

I know...these are shown for their red fall colors. But in the middle of the process is just as charming...the colors match the pot.

Your not using straw as an insulator for cold are you? I've been reading it can actually draw critters to bed and munch.

That's a shame,mot not know what drew the critters in. I recall Mike F. Lost his whole entire collection one winter to voles. Even a nice tree Will/Grouper gave him. Glad you caught it early...toss some traps and poison down around the trees I reckon.
I assume this early winter. It's been averaging 15 degrees below normal since Oct 11 according to Columbus weatherman.
4 traps set. No poison. I want their hide, not their odor when they craw off and die somewhere.
