I live in the Berkshires, Mass and I leave my hardy bonsai out till after Christmas (Except last year when it was sooooooooooo cold!) The deciduous one I put into the really cold cellar and water slightly occassionally until April and then I bring them into the light and water, etc. The evergreens I leave out and then put into the other cool cellar where I have grow lights. At Bonsa West there is a very good little booklet called "Ask Dr. Bonsai" which you can download and I have found more helpful in some ways than the BIG books!! I also have several tropicals which spend the summer outside and the other 3 seasons inside in my sunroom or under lights. This is a picture of one of my tropicals...It's a seju elm and NOT hardy. I've had it probably 10 years...won it in a raffle at the greenhouse I belong to....
