Develop great nebari | Bonsai repotting | Japanese Maple deshojo

- In this video, I show you a simple trick that you can do when you repot your bonsai tree in Spring, to help develop great looking nebari - those beautiful surface roots that make a bonsai appear like a real miniature version of a real old tree. Good nebari also has the advantage of thickening up the lower trunk base, giving the bonsai more taper in the trunk, which again gives the illusion of a much older tree.

Phenomenal root work, holy moly. Only 10k subs, and 8k views on this views, I’ve stumbled upon a gem here, I predict a boom from the algorithm soon.
Thanks! Maybe .. but I think something external has to happen for the algorithm to suddenly accelerate someone's channel. Like, viewers who were not typically interested in bonsai clicking the thumbnail... and that's not easy when the subject is nebari 😉 lol
But maybe I locked myself into a bonsai audience with this video title...
Anyway, thanks for your prediction!
@@BlueSkyBonsai It seems this video ended up doing well for you, congratulations, keep it going!
@@TheCrazyBird844 thanks yes it's done better than I expected. New vid coming soon, but I doubt it'll do as well as this one... we'll see!
Great root work Dave, the stone should do the trick!!!
Thanks Nigel! Now I have to do about 20 more repots, I think I won't film the rest of the repotting season... takes too long!
@@BlueSkyBonsai Haha yep. I only have 9 and feel the workload. I can't imagine 20+ repots.
@@BrandonTran I really enjoy doing the repots, but it's just a question of time! Looking forward to retirement like @Nigel Saunders

Вместо камня можно было просто грунта побольше положить, чтобы он заполнил пустое пространство 🥴
Wow .. .What a GREAT video on nebari development of a bonsai ... THX for posting this to us all who are interested !!!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
John Naka writes about the rock under the trunk in 1990. I've been using it since I bought his book in 1993
Great to hear I'm in good company. I still go back to parts of Naka's book, about once a year still. Cheers! 🌳👍
Aussie Dave here David, I was up at 4.00 am to watch your video, bloody awesome 👌, I love your amazing whiteboard presentation 😀 ❤. I have only 1 young Japanese maple 🍁 that I can't wait until spring in Australia ( 6 months to go). Fantastic video please keep them coming 😀 👍 😊
Hey Dave, thanks so much! I guess you didn't sleep so great.. sorry if my video was the cause of that!!!
Japanese maples make such fantastic bonsai. Enjoy it!
@@BlueSkyBonsai Dave I'm an early riser 🤭. It was nice to watch and informative 👍
@@davidmorgan3508 4am is early in the extreme! 😂 My oldest son often gets back home after 4am after a night out in Madrid!!
Have a great Sunday.
I love the cute little pop-ups in your animations.
Wow. Really inspiring, thank you!
Thanks Dave. Always great tutorials. Gotta love repotting season. Thanks, keep growing.
Cheers Matt. Yep repotting.. i try to enjoy every repot ... with a feeling of guilt that I'm not filming most of them 🤨 thanks as always for your comments!
Dave, I love it when the whiteboard comes out. Great technique, definitely will try it out this repotting season. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Derrick! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I can always count on you Dave for a very informative video. Thank You!
Thanks Raymond! I appreciate your comments 😊
Top content as always! I like the tip about also using the twisted wire ends to hold down roots - hadn't thought of that. :)
Thanks PPP! Yeah that wire trick is a case of anything to prevent the roots from popping up!
Such a great video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing vid!
Great job! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for the video Dave. I use “nebari sugoi” table and it works aswell. Greetings from Seville.
Hola Javier, gracias por tu comentario! El Nebari Sugoi me parece una buena solución, ojalá fuera un poquito cónico para que las raices tengan que crecer inclinado un poco hacia abajo. Tal vez hay que meter un montículo de sustrato para formar la inclinación antes de insertar las raices??
Very informative and I love the pause and animation. I can definitely apply the techniques to succulents that I want to create a bonsai out of. Thanks.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks For Sharing Dave.
Cheers Bobby!
Dave, your channel is amazing! A great deal of useful information and the trees are beautiful, well done!
Thanks Darren! appreciate your kind comments 😊
Nice work 👍
Thanks Dave; clear ,concise and informative video, always interesting to watch…I’ve built your bonsai bench from an earlier video…turned out great!!
Great to hear! Thanks. The only issue I have with the benches is that I need 2 more!! 😂
Great video again! Thanks mate. Looks great😀
Thanks so much 👍
Your explanations and diagrams are really helpful. Thank you!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Beautiful little trees. Thank you for great explanations.
Thanks Carol! Glad you enjoyed it.
I've learned more from your videos and whiteboard lessons than I have from paid classes. Thank you so much! Do you have progression albums of your trees? Would love to see more of your collection from over the years. Can't wait for the next video!
Hi and thanks!
Here is a link to photos of this deshojo maple on Flickr: flic.kr/p/2n8bst9
Feel free to browse around and see the progress on this and other trees.
Brilliant solution - definitely adding this to my tool kit - likely will need to use it next year. Much appreciation!
Thanks Sue! Glad you found it useful!
Thank you for the tip ,great video..
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video as always! And good timing. I'm replanting my two elms today. :)
Thanks Syster! Have fun with the elms!! 🌳
This is a work of art. Amazing!
Thanks so much!
such beautiful root structure on the second one !
Thanks! And hopefully in a few more years the first one will have a similar structure 😊
Great lesson, good job.
Thanks!
The trees look good Dave ! Nice root work and love the stone trick !
Thanks J! Yeah these deshojo maples seem to look good in all circumstances!
What a great job! 👍
Thanks muchly! 😊👍
Nice job Dave!
Thanks Jack!
I'm so pleased I found you! This is only the first video of yours i've watched, but it's taught me SO much already. It's given me clarity over a number of bonsai elements. I'm an absolute beginner and have done the usual thing of watching tons of videos online, which helps in many ways of course. But your video was so clear. great close ups and explanations of what you were doing and why. Even to use footage from last year is greatly appreciated for a visual learner like me - and the whiteboard demo is brilliant. I very much look forward to watching more of your videos. I'm made up! Thank you for the time and energy you clearly put into your videos (as someone who makes them myself - i know what's involved). Excellent!
I am also so pleased you found this video! Glad you enjoyed it.
Also just seen your channel for the first time- really entertaining videos! Makes me wonder how many great channels there are out there that we never find because YT only offers us the videos relevant to our recently viewed videos.
I'm curious, what led a mushroom and fungi expert towards the world of bonsai?
You might have already picked up from mine and other videos, it's an obsession for many of us that can become really time consuming, not to say potentially very expensive.
But my friend now you're hooked there's no way back! wuaahahaha
Agreed!
awsome, I absolutely love it. Learned something new.
Thanks! - glad you learned something new.
Very, Very nice. Thanks for your guidance.
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Beautiful maples❣️🙏🏽👍🏽
Thank you! the deshojos are my favourite maples, and maybe even my favourite tree species. 🌳😍
This is great. Love the animation.
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!
What a wonderful video.
Thanks so much Edinborogh 😊
Im going have to watch all of your videos now, especially if they all this informative. Full of details explained and why. Excellent job.
Thanks again! I really appreciate your comments, they really help - feel free to comment on each video you enjoyed!! And if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to ask!
I always love seeing a Blue Sky Bonsai video pop up!!! Perfect timing for Spring. Thanks Dave!!! Cheers 😎🍺🍺
Thanks Jered!! Timed for everyone in the northern hemisphere! Cheers👍😊🍺🍺
Ps. Either you were awake very late or very very early?! Maybe on Stella duty??
@@BlueSkyBonsai She woke up Mommy…and then I couldn’t fall back asleep 😅😂😅
Dave, great video. I really like how you explain the whole process and the little tips. Can you make a video or list your must have bonsai books?
Hi and thanks for the great comment. I don't know if I'll do a video about the books, but certainly I'll create a list of the books that inspired me and others that I keep on referring back to. I'll put it on the BlueSkyBonsai.com website, hopefully tomorrow if I can get the time.
Fantastic instructional video Dave , 👌
Thanks John, glad you liked it 👍
Thanks for the animation 😀
Thanks for everything 💐❤💐

Useful video, thank you
Thanks, glad you found it useful!
I will have to re poty first deshojo this spring! I will check roots like you did!
Good luck! Let me know how it goes.
Amazing work! Short, simple, and full of nice little gems (details). Thank you for sharing. "Blue Sky Bonsai lifts my spirit mountain high"
Thanks so much Slobodan. Glad you enjoyed it!

@@roberthidalgo2088 thanks a lot! 😊
Very beatiful.. Thank for the tutorial
Thanks for your kind words 😊
Nice video. Thanks for the tip with the stone.
Thanks Peter. Yep it's a good trick if you find one the right size and shape.
That stone method is brilliant!
Thanks! And it's so easy to do...
Lovely maples!
Thank you! These are my favourite species of maple 👍
listen to the end, thank you for sharing your knowledge, how to repot bonsai, it's cool ❤️👍 success always friends
Thanks Pak Haji Amuntai!! 😊👍
As someone who is new to the art of Bonsai, this video has been great to learn some processes from!
Great! I hope you get the same from my other videos too! 😊
The tree already has the start of a nice root system Dave. Nice to see spring is already there in Spain. :)
Thanks! Yes it seemed to start 2 weeks ago when I shot these repots but now the weather has turned back to winter conditions again 😂
ah, the rain is good, saving me tap water.
The white board was so helpful ♥
Thank you, glad you found it useful!
Hey, a few minutes ago I was thinking about you and how long it's been since you've uploaded videos. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm going to watch it. Happy weekend!
Thanks and Happy weekend too! Por cierto con las complicaciones de la vida actual no puedo publicar más de un video al mes... eso si, es que tardo dos semanas en la fase de editar ...
@@BlueSkyBonsai no me extraña! La edición es una maravilla, me encanta 😍
@@criszf jeje y nadie ha comentado sobre el panda 🐼😁
@@BlueSkyBonsai el panda es un puntazo en el vídeo jajajajaj
@@criszf 😊
Brilliant video thank you
Thanks!
Nicely done Dave! You have so much attention to detail! I just discovered your videos and really like your style and all the work you put into these videos. I know it's a lot of work, but you are good at it! Subscribed and look forward to more videos! Cheers
Thanks Brandon! I appreciate that. Not everyone understands the hours and sweat that goes onto the videos 😊
Hi Dave! I'm definitely going to use this rock trick on my maples come the next repot!
Hi, great to hear it! Watch out for wires scarring the nebari, need to start loosening the wire within a month or so...
@@BlueSkyBonsai Thanks for that tip! :) I'll definitely keep an eye on it when I give it a go!
@@notionbonsai will be interested to see how it goes!
Beautiful bonsai tree
Thank you! 😊
Awesome video...Thanks
Thank you so much!!
Hey, nice video! :) i really like your calm approach and friendly voice, great work with those trees aswell! thank you and all the best
Thank you very much! Glad you like the videos - cheers!
Profile cut ! .. Luv It .. and this video i have 3 about the same size , going to copy your instructions including their profile trim ..Thank you Dave , great videos all the time .
Thanks Tas, yeah for the profile cut I was also going to do a joke saying "bowl cut" because that was a hairstyle for boys in the 1980s when I grew up... maybe I'll do that in a future video 😊 thanks for your comments, glad you're enjoying the videos 👍
I like watching your videos, very detailed and great stuff. Thanks :)
Thanks, glad you're liking them!
Beautiful trees.
Thanks!
Nice method using the stone to create structure in the roots 👍 somehow there's always something new to learn.
Thanks ph! Yes every day is a school day 😁
thank you for sharing knowledge about forming a quality bonsai...👍👍👍
Thanks for watching and commenting!
great and very detailed content!
Thanks!
Great explanation
Thanks! 😊
Great l! Thanks for the animation
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video my friend
Thanks Ben! I appreciate your visit!
Fascinating! Great looking trees you have, nice video production and animation too. I would personally love to have a bonsai "emerging" from my aquarium, but this seems like a nice way to start for a beginner.
Thanks Gavin! I tried putting humidity-friendly trees into two moss terrariums nearly 4 years ago, and they're still alive now. But somehow the trees never quite look as good as when they're on their own in a decent pot.
I just started bonsai and I can see I have lots to learn . Thanks for this.
Welcome to the addictive world of bonsai! Please feel free to browse through my horticultural bonsai videos.. and enjoy the hobby!!
Thank you friend for sharing your experience, wish you good health.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much! 👍
a prop stone. what a great idea.
thanks for the idea.
You're welcome! Glad you liked it.
Very nice, clean instructions, lovely Bonsai
Thanks! Yeah I love these little Japanese maples 😊
Great info and trees. Cheers from Ojai California
Thanks Jason! Cheers 🍺
Outstanding video. I will be more confident this afternoon when I repot a couple of my young maples. I will give this trick a try! Thanks!
Thanks Gerrett! Glad you liked it. I have been doing this trick for most of my repots, but some trees just don't need it, if their roots don't need to be wired down.
You're an excellent teacher. You explain the method really well. Thank you!
I'm glad I found your channel. :)
Thanks for your kind words 😊 I'm also glad you found my channel!
@@BlueSkyBonsai Thanks :) You're very welcome!
In addition to that the great choice of background music (just the right volume), video editing skills and sprinkled in humor is why it's fun to watch and learn.
@@Dispatern 😍🙏
You definately know what you're doing. I'll have to stick around and learn something.
I'm sure I'll learn more about you as I watch more videos. Thanks for taking the time to share this knowledge.
Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!
I am really like your videos.
Foirth 😁
Lovely colour in those Deshojos. I’m still waiting for the buds to swell and open on mine in the UK. They are without a doubt my favourite bonsai tree with almost luminescent colour in spring. Truly glorious ❤️
Keep up the great work David. Always superbly done. 🙏
Thanks Jason! Yep I love the deshojos. I also love the Orange Dream JMs but the wonderful colour on those only lasts a few weeks before they turn lime green.
Thanks for your encouraging words!! 👍
Using the stone is such a good idea! I am certainly going to add that to my "tool box" of ideas. Still 5 months form repotting here in Australia, so plenty of time to find suitable river rocks!
Thanks Rebecca! Yes I guess you're soon getting to leaf fall for deciduous trees by now?
@@BlueSkyBonsai Some have started dropping, but others are still growing - we are having a very strange set of seasons, I have to say!
Great explanation. It’s real educative and I can tell it has got your sense of humour.
Thanks Isa! Haha sense of humour? Me?? It was a strictly serious video 😂😂
Ps. I'll bring some good soil and a pot to the village and we can repot your oak?
Wonderful video!
Thanks Cris! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
ahhh ☺️ relaxation.
🧘🏼♂️😁👍
Thank you Sir, you're videos are so helpful and it enlightened me more about bonsai you deserve millions of views and subscribers.
Thanks for your kind words!
Very nice video
Thank you for this vey helpful and well made video. The visual representation of what is happening and why has helped me understand nebari on acers much better.
Also the forehead slap made me giggle.
Thanks, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing sir
Very important for me
Thanks for watching and for your comments!
Beautiful bonsai 👍👍
Thank you!! 😊👍
Hi Dave, I'm glad to see another nice educational video from you! greetings from the Netherlands
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊👍
Such a great lesson, and great visual on how adding the stone below the base of the tree, while tightening the roots down wire creates a better nebari. Can't wait to see the results of these repottings.
Thanks a lot @shirayasha ! Yes later in spring I'll loosen the wires and brush off some surface soil - probably not in a video but will upload photos to Flickr and Instagram. Will definitely show the roots again in a future repotting video.
This is how the trees look now - a few days ago we had a frosty morning:
