Thanks!!!!!!!!
Thanks Jelle. I don't know how many times I have told people that watering in the sun does not give leaf burn etc. Bottom line is exactly what you have said: get them on the ground under shade and preferably out of the wind. Unfortunately lots of trees means lots of watering and much that i would love to do double soaks I just have to do my best with a single teaspoon :)
@@GrowingBonsai point made...it was my coping mechanism when my wife died i think. I had less than half of what i have now. It is too many for just me to manage.
During a heatwave, you soon learn which trees can’t cope with the heat and which ones do (albeit can survive). Early on, I killed more Chinese elms (and a few English oaks) in heatwaves here in Sydney before I realised it easier just to stick to more heat tolerant trees like figs and olives (and to a lesser extent maples and pines).
For those who don't use normal temperatures 🤣🤣 It can get up to 45 or even 47 in a heatwave here in Australia so I had to learn all this as a beginner on the fly. These are really great tips. In my first year my Japanese maple seedlings started to wilt on a 40 degree day even though they were in full undercover protected shade. So I put them in the bath 😂 and they were fine! They now are fine if they only get dappled morning sun. As they mature it gets easier. But wind scorch is a definite problem. I use a pretty organic water retaining mix which also helps for me and my climate. On the other hand, my natives, cotoneaster and chojubai stay in full sun on even the hottest days and they're 100% happy 😅
@@GrowingBonsai haha well, Tasmania isnt so hot! You could move there. We grow up with the heat so we get used to it. But once it's past 40 it can be quite difficult to function. We however cannot handle the cold 😅 We also don't have double glazed windows or proper insulation so our houses get very cold in winter and electricity is very expensive, so that doesn't help. Everyone dreams of moving up north to Queensland where it's tropical. But they have crocodiles, even more snakes and bird eating spiders so... not for me!
@@katyb2793 Hey Katy, I know. A friend of mine moved to Taz. And when I was living in Melbourne I went out to visit (I spent twice some time working in Melbourne and once in Darwin, all in all, about 3 years spent in Australia; Feels like a second home at times)
@@GrowingBonsai oh I didn't know! I lived in Melbourne for 8 years for uni. It's such a great city! My favourite place was the botanical gardens. Even before I got into bonsai haha But you must have found Darwin extremely hot, especially since it's humid too. The bonsai scene is very interesting in Australia too. There's a lot of experimentation with natives and they really make such beautiful bonsai.
I also sprinkle the Junipers in the afternoon when the sun goes away and once again at night and also give a good water sprinkle to the ground on hot Musaics. Ofcourse all my trees are placed on about 3 feet stools. I also sprinkle the mesh at nights . This makes them cool. I also sprinkle the ground underneath only before the sun covers them
Totally agree about junipers and succulents liking water, if they are in a good well draining substrate. I heavily water both varieties everyday and they thrive.
You can use green moss on top of the pot to hold a bit water in the pot. And then in the winter you remove it if more drainage is required. I also saw once for very strong heat waves people cover the pots with aluminium foil, so the sun refect back and you just need to water once a day.
A few weeks ago we had a some 47ºC days here in the south of Spain, so yeah, shade (specially mid day) and good watering are really important. A hot, windy day will annihilate most trees, specially maples and such
@@GrowingBonsai I live in a flat, so my trees only get sun for half a day, morning till midday, and even then I have to be careful, but for most people here is not so "easy" to have trees survive hahaha
As I have been saying for years, summer is the worst season for us in the tropics. Yes, it is the wet season also, so it rains in the afternoon most of the days but... Sometimes no. Maples suffer a lot. Shade cloth 50% and wind protection is a must here. I like to wrap the sun exposed pots in wet towels. It makes the garden ugly, but the roots safe. Great video, Jelle!
The weather has been very difficult here in Idaho lately as well. 100f + highs in the day, and thunderstorms with 30-50 mph gusts seemingly every week or so. (Yes metric is better; Imperial is trash) We tend to get high wind during the heat waves too. I always leave my more sensitive trees on the grass under a large tree if its hot enough. Maybe it's just placebo, but they seem to stay moist longer on the grass. There's definitely those time where you just have to sprint as many trees as you can inside when a freak storm hit. We had one 2 nights ago where I ran out to find a few nursey trees rolling across the lawn.
I'm pretty sure Peter Chen recently said putting trees on the grass does keep them moist longer. He does the same thing as you and puts them on the grass under a big shady tree 😊
@@katyb2793 I would guess it's fairly common just because a lot of large trees have grass or something similar growing underneath. If Peter is doing it, I imagine I must be doing something right though! 🤣
Yes, lower to the ground there is less wind, and the grass itself reduces the heating up of the surfaces AND evaporates water, all contributing to a better climate! It is the reason why my benches are surrounded with tall ferns!
Good point, and reminder, to actually water your trees “twice” during very high temperatures, during each watering (e.g. once in morning, and again in later afternoon). I learned this very early, as a couple of my trees seemed well watered, but weren’t, and the suffered badly from it. Live and learn. Oh, and I don’t water anymore in the ‘late’ evening or night anymore. Have learned it is not recommended or from experience with both bonsai and other plants, both in pots and ground. Keep your videos coming my friend.
Hey Jeff, thank you for the kind words. Why do you not water in the evening? Except for fungals on the foliage (water the substrate, not the plant?) I do not know why not! 🤔
@@GrowingBonsai Have learned from experience and advice from various, I consider, long time/well experienced individuals that watering in late evening, even diligently “avoiding” the foliage - the water put into to soil medium does ‘not’ evaporate properly nor does the root/tree systems use the water as well as they do during the warmth of the daytime. Now, considering a WELL DRAINING appropriate mixed soil medium, this can definitely be variable. Have tested moisture levels late evening/morning/early evening, and then over night. Moisture/water retention over night to dawn - can make for an environment that can harbor or promote fungi/mold growth. So I no longer do it late-late evening to sunset. If it works for you in your temperate zone, or others then by all means do it.
Great vid Jelle! So far this year we had one heat wave. It lasted 24 hours and topped at 34C. Rest of the summer has been 20-25c. No need for special mid summer care here. I have lost a few moss, but that is easy to replace in athum if I want.
@@GrowingBonsai today and tomorow is 26 to 28. Quite high for us, but ok for the trees. July brought 120mm of rain. So quite good growing season. Beetroots are monsters! 😀👍
i think an important thing is to know that if the pot gets to +35 C (which it can easily get higher in full sun as u mention) the tree does need a lot less water, and that overwatering will worsen a stopped/stunned tree specially in substrates that have even the smallest amount of organic, so always think of shade for the pot before more watering as a remedy. Also the trees are happiest in constant temperatures, even if they get a little high. What i do is to keep the pot covered with foil or cloth as u mention, but day and night, only uncovering once a day a few mins for watering IF needed
Some people here in Spain fill a tray with gravel and water and put their trees over it, specially mames. It makes a humid environment as it evaporates. Also they water 3 to 5 times a day. Not my case, I water only once in the worst conditions thanks to that I grow them in just potting soil.
The weather in UK has been exceptional this year. 41C in first heat wave was highest ever recorded temperature. This time round it’s just been low 30s. I have my trees (mostly newly planted seedlings and cuttings ) under 50% shade cloth such that they all get direct light dawn to late morning but shade from then on for most of them. I water early morning and early evening with a top up mid day for those that need it. Rocks or pieces of broken pots cove most of the pots. I put small pots in the shade of bigger pots. My substrate is free draining but water retaining so the air pockets between particles remain humid. I’ve tested this by planting a few things in clear plastic pots and seen the condensation inside. My only casualties are a few new cutting. Even so some of the cuttings have taken and buds are appearing.
I cover my Junipers with a double layer thin very very fine mesh cloth used for curtains.. it is now 35 Celcius in the sun her but no wind. Fortunately most of my Junipers are in development stage in size 10 and 12 black plastic buckets
I will be using some of your tips thanks Jelle 😊 we are also having great weather . Don't burn my friend put factor 50 sun cream on ....keep safe and cool 😎

I have put my pots on plastic trays filled deep with clay gravel which I then fill with water i find this helps keep them humid..
Peter Chan recommends putting your pots on the ground or lawn preferably under a tree. That’s what he did with his big trees and they were all ok.
