Juniper Bonsai #780585

Asked January 21, 2022, 2:29 PM EST

Hi there. I recently was given a juniper bonsai and do not know how to properly care for it in Minnesota. What I have read is contradictory and confusing so wanted a MN expert to weigh in. I am hoping you can provide me the details for the year round care, like outside sunny spot May-Oct, into garage Nov etc. Also, if I do put it into the garage or whatever for dormancy does it stay green, does it go brown? Just so I know what to expect out of it. I am not at all new to plant care but am entirely new to bonsai.

Bonsai care is very much a specialty area and is not within the typical Master Gardener's expertise.  I suggest you direct your question to a bonsai hobbyist organization such as this one:
