Mine from @Pitoon are growing again also after spending the winter in an unheated garage.
Well then, mine are screwed.
I hope you make it, I'm not saying how old I would be because it isn't possible to be that old.
If you read about the progression of that tree, you will see that the tree has regressed and revived a few times over the years. My take is that I will get to some thing that resembles a bonsai in 10.
Wow, I’m originally from the coastal part of North Carolina and these are grown everywhere! I never had a clue that they could be developed as bonsai. Pretty interesting.
I'm not sure they would survive a winter here in the ground.
Ahhhh.....I forgot your locale. Well next best thing would be a big pot where the roots can escape into the ground. Then when winter comes you can relocate the pot for overwintering.
Mine (except for the cuttings) are still in the nursery pots you sent them in. Should I just leave them in there? I do have some round, a bit more shallow pots that might work better.
Not too shallow. My Asian friend told me not to put these in pots with less than 3” of soil while trying to build it.
The deeper the better for good growth.
