thanks a lot for recommendation... both on book and YouTube channel... bought and subscribed. My wife just loves flowering bonsai so we went recently to one place around Shanghai and bought 3! ... and they are old and big. But obviously language (Chinese) becomes super technical when you go into details on varieties of trees (almost always untranslatable) so first of all will need to decide what it really is... than comes everything else.
For now they are wintering with protection... I've seen how they do it here...

My pleasure. My satsuki sits under my shade structure in the winter as well. With a north wind break. Other than that in north Louisiana it doesn’t get cold enough to hurt the roots. I just protect from frost. Flowering bonsai are a favorite of mine as well. Satsuki azalea are by far my favorite flowering species of all! They are really easy to grow here.. and I love their flower show.

We’ve had over 100” so far and more on the way. Some of my pals have had broken branches from the weight of the snow. Glad I keep mine in the barn.
