Creating a Boxwood (Buxus) Bonsai from Supermarket Tree (March 2023)

In this video Me and Mick have a bit play with a Boxwood (Buxus) Shrub which was from a supermarket, I got this tree for free from my brother-in-law so we thought we would start its life as a bonsai. It has a long road ahead to becoming a bonsai, but it's a start..

Excellent result. I could have not gotten that result

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you ;)

[@denhardy7238]

I think the banter between two mates brings another dimension to the demo😎

[@houghtonbonsai]

Hi Den, bonsai is all about having a laugh with mates and now and again the odd tree ;)

[@JustJane1972]

Wow! Now that's a transformation.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Jane

[@phillipwaterman5721]

Yet againmick
To the rescue nice to see around ball to wind swept nice one boy's thanks Ryan and mick

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you Phillip

[@mikeswain9085]

Really great looking tree. Not sure who had the vision Ryan, yourself or Mick but whoever it was, it certainly transformed a shrubby bush into a tree with lots of style.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you Mike, Mick suggested the broom style, but once I put the first Branch into place the rest just came naturally 😃👍

[@houssembouslama6522]

Great job! Would be nice if you could share a picture of the bonsai now to appreciate the result 🙏

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you, i Will do

[@benjaminsoares4295]

Very good

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Benjamin

[@denhardy7238]

Without that massive lower side branch 😎Dennis

[@houghtonbonsai]

👍

[@robmartin3312]

great work to make anything looking that good from one point it looked impossible.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you very much Rob

[@monkiemind1596]

Good crack !
Looks good

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks m8

[@robryan9841]

Well done lads I thought it was going in the bin early on but you turned it around really well 👏👏👏

[@houghtonbonsai]

Cheers Rob, I nearly put it in the bin 🤣🤣 but once the first branch got placed the rest just followed m8

[@tacobonsai]

whoa that's a great trunk and a lot of tree for that price. Free fifty-five is my favorite price. I would have paid ten if I knew that trunk was hiding in there. I really like that movement and you guys did a good job wiring it out to a good tree form.

[@houghtonbonsai]

It's what you call a hidden surprise Taco, I love the freebies as well m8 😁

[@ytalogustavo6316]

Eu sou o primeiro comentário brasileiro no seu vídeo, ficou muito lindo, eu amei o seu vídeo 🇧🇷

[@houghtonbonsai]

Bem vindo meu amigo brasileiro e obrigado ;)

[@awchannel4351]

Pembentukan pohon yang bagus,hasilnya menjadi lebih indah 😍👍👍👍

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you. The formation turned out ok just time now

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

Wowee! You guys turned that tree right amazing! Sorry if comments on older videos gets annoying. It's your turn for me to get caught up on!😊 My job in construction season tends to cause me to fall behind with all the different channels. Xbox Eh... I like Everquest2 on PC myself. Wish I had more time to play game. Great show!

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you and no worries m8 don't mind old comments. never played everquest myself, assassins creed was my favorite game

[@TheBonsaiboy1]

Well done you 2😂😂😂

[@houghtonbonsai]

Cheers tommy m8

[@mickwillis5217]

It was fun doing this video

[@houghtonbonsai]

it was m8 it was a tough one 😁

[@angry9901]

Nice work, I never do any good with Boxwood they just sit there and sulk.💩

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Angry, 🤣🤣

[@joegarland4885]

Nice to see great friends having. good laugh while what looked like Mick butchering the tree, not a lot left by the time you guys had fun with it but you turned it around, fun watching you guys bounce off each other that’s true friendship right there. All the best to you both mates.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Joe 👍, Bonsai is great but it is better with friends and its all about having fun while doing it... mick butchering the tree 😅😅

[@denhardy7238]

😊

[@mustafaunuvar338]

welldone! would you explain how you fix soil ph for boxwood? thanks.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you, Test the soil pH, they like an acidic soil pH between 6.5 and 7.0. If the soil pH is too high, add iron sulphate to lower the soil pH, or if its to low, add dolomitic lime to raise it. When fertilizing, use a 10-10-10 ratio fertilizer hope this helps

[@mustafaunuvar338]

​@@houghtonbonsai thank you, should I prepare a fluid with 6,5-7 Ph value, and then mix with soil, a little confusing for me

[@houghtonbonsai]

@@mustafaunuvar338 you want to mix your soil ranging between 6.5 to 7.5 ph m8, are try ericaceous soil with potting grit 60/40 as it is Acidic soil

[@mustafaunuvar338]

@@houghtonbonsai thank you Master!

[@houghtonbonsai]

[@denhardy7238]

Don’t like the look of that 😎Dennis
