Hey all the bonsia I have had have been with me the last few years living at 7,500ft in elevation. Is there anything i need to do or should be aware of when moving to low elevation with them in November? Also drastically changing growing zone. I have some juniper, an engleman spruce, olive, and two dawn redwoods.

So my dad got rid of it’s 30+ years boxwood hedge last spring because it was entirely eaten by moths each year and slowly dying.
Without much hopes I took one home and surprisingly it shot new leaves during summer.
Pics are when I collected it and how it’s going now.
Collected 6 years ago, initially styled as wind-swept but I restyled about 4 years ago. I entered it into the Houston Bonsai Society Annual Show this year and was honored to win the “People’s Choice” award. Definitely not very “traditional”, let me know what you think.

I'm not very good with my trees, so I don't know the species but I found this in the woods in my back yard. Trimmed it up to be a small literati
