First winter for my 2 satsuki azalea

[arctic107]

This is my first winter owning these two satsuki azalea. The larger one being a 35-year old tree and the smaller one being of an unknown age. Some of you may be aware that I built an enclosure for my bonsai trees with removable panels that have burlap wrapped around them to overwintee my bonsai.

This past week, DC had a cold snap. I wanted to share a photo of how my two satsuki azalea did during the cold snap (it was 40F here today and will be 45F tomorrow!).

Nice job, the one in the white pot is looking good.

Thank you! The smaller one dropped quite a bit of leaves as it got cold before I had the enclosure built! It will be interesting to compare the pictures of the tree between this winter and next winter!
