- Part 5 of my Horse Chestnut bonsai, which I started from a conker seed. It is a pretty terrible tree for bonsai, but its still fun to grow.

Love this little tree, looks so healthy. The curve in the trunk might look too sharp, but I suspect it might smooth out as the trunk grows thicker. Might be worth contemplating planting the tree at an angle next time you repot, and try to grow the branches horizontally from there. Certainly a difficult material, but I think it has potential, if only for the challenge of showing it can be done. Keep up the great vids.
cheers, yeah its far from perfect, but its a lot of fun, i dont really care if it looks freaky, its just interesting to see what can be done,, or not.
Nice trunk!
Haha we just had a conker germinate by accident in the grass, so I dug it up and potted it. Was never planning to do a horse chestnut bonsai... but nature took its course...
haha nature always finds a way. now you can enjoy their beefy growth too! :)
I love the cat shot lol. Also the leaves have a cool shape, reminds me of a tree id expect to see out of a dr seuss book
Cheers, yeah they are weird so would fit into that world well haha
Love the sycamore like leaf at the height you chose. Cheers broski 😎🍺🍺
Cheers bro!
I see a cute cat, I click!
hahah you are wise!
Love your videos! Walnut is pretty unsuitable too 😂
hahah cheers. i will add it to the list of trees that i need to conquer 😂
Splendid 🤗 💚 Lovely trees, underestimated bonsai material. I have a nice big one, with a 4.5 inch thick trunk and 7 inch nebari, I'm not sure whether to chop it shorter, it would get rid of a straight bit of trunk, but it would also loose some nice branching further up which makes it more tree like and unbroom style.
It's about 1.5m at the moment. Let's see 🙂
I love your videos, straight forward, great info and very well edited, I'd love to see more content from you, perhaps a video walking us through all the trees you have and ideas for them would be lovely 👍
Cheers, sounds like you have a big one, which will defo be the best way to do these for sure
Native trees - better than any overdone “invasive” clichés ! Enjoy you keeping it real.
cheers. well i like those other ones too. its just nice to have a bit of everything :)
Nice looking tree, I've managed to germinate quite a few this year which I'll experiment with in different ways.
cheers, thats great you have got a few on the go! defo worth the experiment!
those leaf sizes will reduce id bet. just need to leaf prune them all and let the 2nd flush push out smaller ones. look funky but cool. i like the funky trees best. thanks for sharing
cheers. yeah they are certainly smaller than full size trees, and probbaly will go a little smaller... but they are still bigboys
I've got a few of these and the way I deal with them is to cut them back hard in winter. There are normally a lot of dormant buds.
yeah that sounds like the best way to go about things!
@@BackGardenBonsai if you're really going for it you should look at bud peeling as they do with Japanese maples. I learnt this from Kimi a friend of BonsaiQ
Glad you are working this as a bonsai. I love sycamore as Mame - using two leaves for each pad structure. Great video
cheers :)
Love this Ian and the leaves are definitely smaller than the ones on my local tree, bigger than my hand most of them! I may have to get myself one of these too. I now have 2 sycamores thanks to watching your video's. Thanks for the update 😀
cheers. yeah the ones in the parks have huuuuge leaves. im sure you wil find plenty of conkers in the autumn to try one :)
I have a cat similar to yours (a tricolor). Mine is named Sophie :D
hahah very good :)
Peter Chan loves these, but he grows them big.
yea i would say the bigger the better. as soon as i have more room i will try and beef this one up a lot more as its weird at its current size
I get a tonne of these in the garden each year, you can shrink the leaf size by making sure the tree is pot bound
cheers, yeah they seem to be a lot smaller than the trees growing in the wild
Yeah got one sprouting this year but dont know if it will survive, we'll see
good work, they are pretty aggressive so hopefully it pulls through for you
Nice cat
cheers :)
Nice progress on your horse chestnut! How old is it? I managed to start 2 chestnuts and 2 horsechesnuts this year… looking forward to grow them like yours!
cheers, i started it in 2017 and that is great that you got some started too!!

Damn you Brennan!!! 😂🍺🍺

Little late comment here, but I’m curious…
What’s the deal with your feline friend making a cameo?
haha he was just near by, then when he seen me put the pot down to film it, he came over for a sniff ... i think he thought it was food and was sadly mistaken and why he swiftly left
I feel cheated 2 weeks in a row!
from what?
@@BackGardenBonsai the criminally short videos lol
haha i feel that!! this is the results of no growth last year. a lot of the trees did nothing .. so there is nothing to show, it's annoying!
