Hey Phil What I am trying to say is There is no such thing as a tree that can not be grown indoors with the proper conditions. And the proper conditions are not hard to supply. A Gentleman by the name of Jack Wikle has been growing at least two Junipers under lights with no dormant period for 20 and 22 years respective of the specimen. You can get his PDF on indoor bonsai if you search his name. I am not saying any tree can go without dormant period. I am saying if you duplicate the conditions the tree needs it is easily done. There are trees that are better for it than others as there are fewer conditions they must have. But Any conditions can be duplicated the hardest one is light and you can even duplicate the sun simply by having 50,000 lumins or by leaving your lights on for a longer perioud. I have 21,000 lumins I leave on 18 hours a day. Everything else is easy to duplicate.
