Post subject:  Dead/Dry leaves with a Corylus/British Hazel

Dear Bonsai Gurus,

I found this hazel growing in the side of a split log (I think dropped by squirrels) in my parents garden last September. I planted it in a small pot and have kept it on a window sill through the winter with no problems.

In April I moved it out onto my balcony and now a couple of months later it seems to have developed these dry faded leaves (see image attached).

I have never grown any bonsais before and have done nothing more than put it in a shallow pot with good drainage and some soil from near where it was found growing. I would really like to try and keep it alive as I have become quite attached.

Please can you help? Will it survive?

Many thanks,

Jack

There seem to be new shoots. I think it will be fine.

Hazel are deciduous so if those are last years leaves they should have dropped last autumn. It might just be a messed up calendar for the tree. I'd plant it into a free draining mix and keep it outside all year round. They grow very vigorously when happy.
