Question by jessie_goines: What would it take to properly grow a japanese juniper bonsai indoors?
I guess i could grow it outside but it would be facing west where the morning sun would not hit it and im afraid it might be too chilly with an average winter temp. of around 35 degrees here.

No really, you should not trust the outdoors. Go to your local nursery or wal mart and buy a small growing lamp and mount it close enough to the plant to benefit it but not so close as to burn it. Read the label on the plant to determine how much light the plant needs.

Question by Dale M: Will a willow oak grow straight if chomped by a deer?
I have recently transplanted a three-year-old willow oak ( http://www.na.fs.fed.us/pubs/silvics_manual/volume_2/quercus/phellos.htm ) from a shady area where it wasn’t doing too well to a very sunny area. I added lots of compost and prepared the hole nicely.
It’s about 4 feet high, but the top shoot was chomped on by a deer and seems like it may have damaged the ability of the tree to grow straight. There are several side shoots that are waiting to open up with leaves (being that it’s now very early spring).
Many other trees can recover from a deer chomping and sprout other upward shoots to take over, but I am worried this one might not.
Other than the damage to the main shoot, the tree appears to be plenty healthy — leaves are ready to come out, root appears good, etc.
Thanks
I moved the tree about 250 feet from a wooded area to a more public street area — hopefully the deer will stay away from this area. Both answers #1 and #2 are about the same — and much appreciated — I’ll give this a try. You both are “the best” answer, but since I can’t pick both, I’ll just pick one.

If the main leader has been severely damaged, then allow another branch to take over, use a rope or string to direct the new leader to be, into position. Keep an eye on it to make sure everything is going ok.

Growing bonsai successfully is difficult, especially for a beginner. Get a book about it and read it all. Then go buy a bonsai and practice on it.
Evergreens tend to be hardy and make good first choices. Plus they are inexpensive which is good because almost everyone kills their first bonsai, usually by under or overwatering.

Question by Gihren: Would Yoshino Cherry Tree(Prunus x yedoensis), grow in Sacramento, CA (USDA Zone 9) which is listed as 5-8?
Sacramento is also known for city of trees.. if it means anything.
Best answer:
Answer by DR_NC
I think you could try a Yoshino. I would plant it on the north or east side of my house to protect it from the harsh western sun. Kwanzan cherry is another alternative, albeit pink in color. We live in Zone 7b (eastern North Carolina) and I sell Yoshino and Kwanzan Cherry trees. My main problem is insect damage from borers. Keep an eye on any sap running out of the tree and do not trim the tree in the Spring as this opens up wounds that insects can enter. Good Luck.
