@@GreenCorner_S thank you! Unfortunately this one didn’t survive due to me watering right after the defoliation. But I learned some great lessons from it. 😃

Awesome! I’m glad you liked the video! Good luck with your ginkgos seeds, I hope you’ll have some roots coming out of the seeds in a few months! You are reminding me that I need to go check the ginkgo tree I got these seeds from and see if it dropped any seeds this year yet. 😊

@@sagebonsai Awesome! I’m glad you like it. It is a fun project! 😃

@@maylucriandesigns thanks!! I’m super happy with it. I’m excited to see how it fills out over the upcoming years.

Hahaha yeah a bit of a theme going on here right?!? 🤣

@@nerinat8371 thank you! I appreciate it!

@@DeciduousSnurb Yeah these are growing really well for me. They’ve even started budding a lot since this video. But pretty soon I’ll have to bring them back inside because the nights are starting to get around the mid 40sF around here. I actually picked up a lot of these legos at an outdoor flea market last year, so if you have one of those or a thrift store near you pick some up and try building one. It was a ton of fun!

@@baldyeti Ha! I see what you did there … and I love it! 😄

@@DeciduousSnurb very true, it is a bit of a deep cut joke. But yeah I think it is an interesting display that will turn heads at the very least! 🤣

@@DeciduousSnurb Hahaha thanks! I can’t resist a good pun! 🤣 I’m glad you dig it!

@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 thanks, Tom!

@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 thanks! I used a coupon and got it basically for free as well! Win win!

@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 woo hoo!!! 🎉🎉🎉

@@bonsaiexpression thanks! Oh yeah I remember that one. Thats a beauty of a tree you have as well!

@@sagebonsai oh dang, someone stole your bonsai?

@dreamingofbonsai yeah, but that was years ago. I wasn't made as it's considered a pesky weed tree anyways. Since then I hardly keep my work displayed in the front yard.

@@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai Hahaha! I hope so too! If the tree makes it I’m wondering what will break … will plastic ribcage break or will the tree just form the trunk around and within it? 🤣

@@classyadventures599 Thanks! I have a good feeling that the skeleton acacia tree will make through (as long as the squirrels stay away from it). I have another third acacia tree from the three I grew from seed and that one had its roots completely torn apart by squirrels, I shoved it back down deep in the soil and it’s doing just fine now … it even put on a couple branches recently. So it seems Acacia Trees can withstand a lot!

@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat thanks, Xavier! I appreciate it. I’ll probably make another Lego pot in the near future, it holds up pretty well surprisingly!

Thanks, Andy!

Thanks! Slow and steady wins the race right? 😊 How are your acacia seedlings doing? Still going strong?

Thanks! I’m going to have to make another Lego bonsai pot soon. It holds up pretty well to the elements outside.

Thanks! I’m curious how it will develop in the future. It will be a test to see what is stronger, the plastic ribcage or the acacia. 😂

So true! They love to poke around in my pots.

👍👍Yay!!!

You got it! 😊🎉

@@gsacki2010 I keep it inside in my attic. Ideally, from what I understand, it would be nice to have it in an environment just above freezing.

@@paulformaioni37 thanks! Yeah so far this one is recovering nicely. When I watered it this morning it showed many new leaves … so I think it will be just fine.

That is so awesome. I would LOVE to go foraging for Pawpaw. That sounds like a ton of fun!

That is a fantastic idea and totally makes sense to remove the berries. Someone else mentioned about the Grey Owl variety, I'll have to look into that species. I'm happy to hear your tree is doing well this year!

@@dreamingofbonsai The latin name is Juniperus virginiana which is Eastern Red Cedar, so 'Grey Owl' is just a cultivar of that species. So a native juniper, very cold hardy.

@@DeciduousSnurb Oh wow, well actually I have a bunch of Eastern Red Cedar seedlings that i'm growing. They pop up in my backyard like crazy. I never knew it by the "Grey Owl" name.

@@Slippedndipped thanks for the tip! I haven’t done much work with jin on my bonsai yet. That is a bonsai technique I’d like to try more in the future. Thanks for checking it out!

@@EricShingles-p6q thanks for the tips! Hopefully I’ll keep this one going into the far future.

Hi Lisa! Thanks for checking this Dawn Redwood video out! So out of the tree seeds you listed I only have experience with growing Dawn Redwood trees from seed. And yes you are right, all I did was break apart the seed pod, spread the seeds on a wet paper towel, added the cinnamon to prevent mold, put that in a zippy bag, and set them aside in my house at room temperature. My advice with the Dawn Redwoods is strength in numbers. Out of the many seeds that started germinating I only have 4 that survived this year. So start as many seeds as you can get you hands on.

@@dreamingofbonsai I only have 20 but I can get more if this attempt fails. They are not hard to get. Thank you so much!!

@@lisawagner6076 good luck with them! Keep me posted if you get results, I’d love to hear how it goes. 👍👍

@@dreamingofbonsai sure will!

Thanks for checking it out! Hahaha yeah I do get the Jack Black comparison sometimes ... he is a legend so I'll take it! 😁🤘🤘🎶🎵🎶

@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 yeah I’m hoping I didn’t take to much off. I guess I’ll find out next spring!

@@sagebonsai thanks for checking out the video! Yikes I was fearful that I took off to much. Hopefully this juniper pulls through. It’s always a learning curve. I will keep in mind the 1/5 at a time technique on the next prune and on future nursery stock. Thank you for that. I’ll have to look into a grey owl juniper. I just looked up photos online of grey owl junipers, they look very cool!

@dreamingofbonsai Peter Chan has a huge garden size one he's been working on for the last 30 plus years

@@sagebonsai oh wow, I’ll have to look that one up!

@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 thanks, Tom!

@@BonsaiNorthwest thank you! I was super happy with it. I hope it survives the winter!

Hi! I believe this was labeled as a "Parsonii Juniper" which google is telling is also a "Juniperus chinensis" (Parson's Juniper)

Thank you! So I didn't repot this juniper right away because I do not want to shock the tree. I want to take this step-by-step so I don't kill the tree. I already cut off a lot of branches, so next spring I will take the next step and repot it. Then maybe a few months after that I'll prune again.

@@dreamingofbonsai thank you very much, in those days i will take my first juniper and try to work with it! Im new to bonsai!

@@andreavinco7514 Very cool! Good luck with your juniper. If you get a chance post a video of your progress after you work on it, I’d love to see what it looks like!

@@dreamingofbonsai ok! Maybe you have an instagram account?

@@andreavinco7514 I do have an Instagram account. It is “dreaming.of.bonsai”

@@Bob_Z900RS_Bonsai thank you! I was thinking about it! I have all the cuttings in water at the moment and I’m hoping to do a bit of research in the next couple days on how I can take advantage of propagating these berries.

@@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai thanks, Steve! I appreciate it! I haven’t had much luck with Juniper trees, so I’m hoping I didn’t chop too much off of this one. I’m thinking a spring repot should be fine right?

@@BonsaiNorthwest thank you! I’m looking forward to how these trees will look in the future.

@@bonsaiexpression hahaha! You got me! 🤣 Thanks! Big cuts equal big rewards right!?? We will find out in the spring. 👍

@@bonsaiexpression hahaha! You got me! 🤣 Thanks! Big cuts equal big rewards right!?? We will find out in the spring. 👍

@@dreamingofbonsai it sure does. I'll be waiting patiently for the results 😁

@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 Big chops indeed! I’ll be curious how they will grow next spring!

@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 Yupper! I have to make some room in my attic, I was fortunate with germinating seedlings this year … so I’ll be bringing more trees inside than I brought out this spring! 🤣

@@Bob_Z900RS_Bonsai Thanks, Bob! Yeah I’m so happy with the growth on these. I forgot to mention I started growing some other Chinese Elm cuttings from a Chinese Elm pruning in May/June and they also are growing super well. Good luck with your cuttings, my only suggestion would be to start them in a decent size pot, like a 1 or 2 gallon size pot. They really flourish in the bigger pots to start.

@@ex_protuser Hi! The Kentucky Coffee tree I’m just going to leave in it’s pot most likely. But my Arabica Trees I will try to turn into bonsai.

@@dreamingofbonsai Буду рада следить за процессом! У вас с интересные видео. Спасибо ютубу за субтитры и перевод 😄

@@ex_protuser thank you! I appreciate the kind words. Thank you for watching. TH-cam’s auto subtitles are such a great resource. On some of my videos I update the subtitles to be more accurate, but the auto subtitles that TH-cam generates are about 95 percent accurate.

@@gaiabonsaicornwall Thanks! I was shocked how well these root cuttings took this summer. Good luck with your root cuttings in the spring!

@@Bob_Z900RS_Bonsai 🤣 Lol! I still have a couple left. I brought some to a party this weekend for friends and family to sample! They seemed to like them as well!
