# My Black Locust Bonsai Tree has lost all of its leaves. 😭 I grew it…

_Posted by Syd on 2025-09-03_

My Black Locust Bonsai Tree has lost all of its leaves. 😭 I grew it from a seed since January and I have no idea how to help get his leaves back or if they even have a chance of coming back. If anyone has any ideas and/or comments please let me know! I’m so upset about my poor guy. 🥺

My bonsai jacaranda lost all of it’s leaves in winter but now that it’s spring where I am they are starting to come back, maybe it’s something like that? I don’t know for that specific plant though sorry!

Thank you for your advice!! The only thing that changed was that I repotted about 3 weeks ago and I live on the east coast and I was scared that the high winds would snap it in half since he’s still a baby. After the storm passed I put it back outside where I kept it 24/7 minus the few days of the hurricane off the coast. But other than that I’m lost! 😭

Is it a dormancy period? I dont know enough about bonsai but that was my thought.

I’ll have to look into it further! I’m not bonsai guru by any means lol. Thank you for the advice!! If anyone else has any ideas please feel free to share! 😊

Do you have any idea what these brown spots could be?! Is it a fungus?

I’m sorry about your bonsai 😢 I’m having issues with mine as well. I planted it in February and it’s not doing so well.

Aw I’m sorry! They can definitely be finicky 🥲
