- In this episode, I work on another tree from my friend William. It's a China Doll forest. A planting that almost died a year ago we will try to bring back to life.

Enjoying a hot cup of tea while watching a great tutorial by Bonsai Master, Dave.
Great to tackle a species that is different. A real cool forest and those roots are fantastic. Pruning looks great. With your skills this forest will be something to see grow this coming spring. Excellent video with an excellent teacher so that all can understand.
Wow, big changes!!
Daggum, some big changes! I’m diggin where you are taking this forest.
I’ve been tempted to start on one of these Baby Dolls, but avoided them after doing some research. Can’t wait to see how well you do with it!!
Hi Dave! Glad to see this species done by someone else. I think you are the only one. I have a small very young forest that I rescued from the "I'm basically dead" section of my nursery. They're doing pretty well but I lost one on the transition from outdoors. It was used to daily watering and, once indoors, I didn't water it often enough. I increased it's watering schedule but I might periodically let it get a little dry. If I remember correctly, that's what I did last winter. It would be great if you could do more updates on this one in the future.
Will do!
Hi Dave! I am new to your channel and have just subscribed due to your professionalism, soothing narrative, and caring manner. As well as noticing your dedication to the craft.
I must say that I am extremely happy that I stumbled upon your video after I gave up on researching China Doll Bonsai’s months ago due to the lack of information on turning a China Doll into a Bonsai. Luckily I haven’t given up and I searched again, which thankfully led me to finding you.
Now I must add that I have a China Doll myself that I adore and have been adamant on turning into a Bonsai. Over time I became discouraged by the lack of information and seeing others mainly maintaining a huge China Doll plant reaching well over preferable Bonsai size. However! Thanks to your friend’s trust and dedication of sustaining his own forest and seeing you delicately repot and remodel the plant, I have struck a new profound interest in continuing my patience with my plant to ensure my Bonsai dream comes true. Thank you!
You might not know it yet but this is history in the making; China Dolls are rarely seen in the Bonsai scene and often disregarded due to its unforeseen potential. I would love to see this forest thrive and see how it unfolds in the future. We need an update on if William opted out for the fallen tree or kept it as part of the scenery! Many thanks Dave.
@BOSS-dc7gt thank you for your kind words. If there is nothing else I've expressed multiple times on my channel it would be that I love experimenting with tree species. Bonsai doesn't have to be a Trident Maple or a Japanese Black Pine.
I also say a lot that bonsai is a journey and one that I am loving every part of. The success and even the failures. I so enjoy working on and checking in on my bonsai daily.
It's funny you should ask for an update, for I was contemplating which trees I wanted to do just that on, so one is on the horizon.
I hope you continue to enjoy the channel. I certainly love doing it.
Updates soon . . .

Hi Dave. I recently saw a China Doll Bonsai for the first time and loved the fine foliage and delicate twigging. Next question… can you start a few cuttings for a fellow tree toiler? Great work on William’s forest.
I will do that!
@@DavesBonsai You are the man!
What brand of bonsai tools do you use? Thanks!
Ives used Kiku, okatsune, and roshi from stone lantern.
