Nice BNW...Very helpful for those of us starting out and looking for some guidance...Very descriptive and well though out...I enjoyed and captured a few point for my own process...Definitely buying time is well worth the extra dollars and I totally agree that leaving the tree to grow in the medium that it was purchased, in my opinion, is key...A healthy vigorous, healthy root system really helps...Thanks for sharing...Well done...
Thank you for the kind words. Yes, totally agree a healthy tree is necessary before training can occur - not sure if I shared that thought in the video. This was actually a difficult one to create, as I covered so much ground - I'm sure I missed some key details, but hopefully beginners can find some useful info.
Excellent thank you!! What would be really helpful if you would want, is a month by month series of bonsai tasks Just a short one like this one wouild be amazing! There is not anything like that that I have seen anywhere. But it's where I am getting hung up. I have a Chinese Elm that seriously needs a prune, but is it ok to do it in the fall? Or even a series on seasonal tasks. Just a thought I had watching this one.
@@lisawagner6076 Thanks for the suggestion, I sincerely appreciate it. This video, and my most popular video to date, the NA natives video, were both prompted by viewer suggestions. So I like hearing what viewers would like. I'll think about what I could produce as far as seasonal guidance videos. As for the Chinese Elm: If you are in the northern hemisphere and get cold temps that cause your tree to go dormant, I wouldn't prune much late summer (general rule is stop pruning 8 weeks before your first fall frost date). But you can definitely prune in fall as the tree is going dormant (when the leaves start to change). I usually do fall pruning on most of my deciduous trees. If you live in a more tropical climate where trees don't really go dormant, you can likely prune year round, whenever.
@@BonsaiNorthwest I live in Greensboro, NC in zone 7a. First poss. frost is Oct 15 for us. So 8 weeks would have been Aug 20. But that is good to know. Something I did not know, so Thanks so much!!
