#1: Tornado in Geneva
Posted on 2005-07-18 16:37:51 by Tiziano
Horrid we have a very strong tornado during 20 minutes with
wind over 100 mph and hail
I could put in safety the bigger ones.. but a trident
maple a prunus mume has been badly defoliated and many
branches and twig broken as well a seigen that had a very
hard time to put back some leaves after a half defoliation
......
a pentaphilla very small had most of his o new needles
taken away:-( or broken twigs it had a real hard time to
struggle for life after a tought repotting on rock .
well Nature did his trimming and defoliating .. I guess
all the injured littles ones will survive and will put
leaves back and will have more wabi and sabi added by the
touch of elements

Take care. Glad you and yours survived it all.
The trees will survive or not for that is the way of things.
Mine survived a much less event ( major winds and 1-2" hail) with some
interesting natural pruning
and defoiation...all survived and are doing fine....some took a number of
years.
Keep growing
Pauline

Goodness! We kinda expect that kind of weather here in the
Thunderstoem Capital of the World, but Geneva!?
All you can do is look at it as a "challenge" and see how
Mother Nature's restyling can become better bonsai.

for theh climate here , a whole copper roof of 2 tons has
been dismantled and hunged to a balcony... terrific ..

the Prunus has been badly injured a lot of twigs broken ,
and it had just made leaves after a dofoliation .. so much
energy spent for nothing ( the prunus)
a maple shattered even a twig that was wired ... incredible
