Growing Japanese Maple Kotohime for Bonsai repotting 2yr old cutting

repotting a big two year old cutting i made from a two year old shoot and checking up on the big chop i made on my ex mother tree that ive made all these cuttings from.

Very impressive, it’s amazing what you can make from cuttings for free

[@BostonBonsaiIdiot]

Dude you're a friggin assassin. Look at these things!

[@thelazybonsai]

Wowser! Those root bases look amazing

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

I'm loving your approach to maple development. I wasted so many years keeping them in small pots and I have finally got myself around to putting them back out into bigger pond baskets to develop decent trunk and root growth. Better late than never. Keep up the great work on these Maples :)

thanks, brother. it's been a lot of fun incorporating different techniques to try and fight some of my pet peeves in the bonsai I'm developing; like you mentioned, slow trunk growth and ugly nebari. i just hope someone will get a cool idea to try from checking out my bs 😁

Nice props. 👏🏽 🪴 🍁

[@Sketchylemons]

Good stuff man

[@backbudbonsai]

All the cutting grown material, is it to bulk up your plant count? Have u ever considered maybe selling some on EBay?? I bet u would get some people get into a “bidding war” over the cuttings……… just a thought…….. I would definitely be interested!
Keep up the solid videos, bro!

[@DarthMasiah]

I've thought about it. I'll definitely give a holler when i put some out there for sale.

[@backbudbonsai]

Hmmm, the Kotohime cuttings master you are…….. as Yoda would say……
Straight up impressive, brother!! What state u live in?

[@DarthMasiah]

thanks. zone 8a

[@backbudbonsai]

I’m in zone 8b…….. WTF is the difference between a and b? I’m in Washington state btw, just south of Seattle, WA.
I appreciate ur videos, man, thanks for sharing.

[@viktorsbonsai]

Dude what’s your secret? 🤣 how do you get such fast growth??? Am i doing something wrong??

[@DarthMasiah]

this cultivar just loves my zone 8a climate. it reminds it of home 😁 plus I feed a lot because my trees don't need to be reined in so to speak.

[@DarthMasiah]
