I love this time of year. June through mid-August is one of the busiest, most productive, and impactful times for working on trees. Yes, it is a little hot and unpleasant out in the sun, but it’s the core growing time for the trees.

The Summer Solstice was June 20—the longest day of the year and the height of the growing season. It’s a great time for summer bonsai activities.
