That one cedar you repotted in the new brown pot looks AMAZING from every angle, it's a perfect tree if not for that funny scar at the top. A lesson (or test) to try not to get hung up on the little flaws.
I am in full agreement wiht you. The pot has just made it 'pop'. I am looking forward to seeing this continue to grow and ramify. The other two will make interesting development projects though :)
Very happy to see this video - always been curious as to this species. I'm kind of border-line with temperature, but have managed to keep a Blue Atlas cedar from seed alive for 7 years. The parks around here have some magnificent Deodora specimens - stunning trees!
Tie my bonsai down sport tie my bonsai down ha ha 😂Glad you went for the brownish pot the light pot was too big and a bit insipid looking, I like the lovely green pot but I think I agree it should be in a deeper to get more extension growth and to ramify the foliage mass, but we shall see in time if it works in shallow one, all the best my friend.
Thanks Joe. Jelle had lots of good things to say about my collection and helped reassure me that I am actually producing good bonsai using the traditional 'slow' clip and grow approach. It was nice to get that from him. I am definitely planning to find a time to see you and your collection...prhaps even ask a few breakfast questions on film???
Hi Xavier „they don’t like repotting“ - that’s maybe why my little Cedar died some years ago. 🤔 Never tried again. By the way- spruces seem to dislike repotting either. 😅 However lovely trees, like usual. 🤩 Thanks for sharing. 👍 I wonder if meanwhile your spontaneous invitation filled your house… 👨👩👧👦💃👯♀️😄 Enjoy 😘 Cheers 🙋♀️ Martina
I got my first one at the beginning g of last year, it was a super tree with almost instant potential. I waited for the frosts to finish and did the roots and wired the top and it looked fantastic. Completely failed and died over the course of a few months. 😢 Wrong time of year and too aggressive on the roots. Lesson learned.
That confirms what others have also told me. I think the key is to keep pinching growth during the growing season so the extensions don't grow out to long and leggy?

I am quietly happy with how it looks in the new pot too :)

Very interesting, never heard of the species before but I’ll keep an eye out for them in the future.
It's well worth looking out for - I fin it a very attractive needle growth and colour

I definitely agree with you. I find the needles and colour incredibl;e. They just take a long time to groww and mark very easily.

Nice trees this ceder! I don’t habe some of that . I think that should i change 😂 nice Video and cu Cheers 🍻
I am impressed with cedar as a species and will look for more in the garden centres.
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat oh Yeahhhhh i am too !

These are starting to surprise me as a species - they seem very resilient to punishment :)

Believe it or not - nobody turned up. I think that was because nobody likes Jelle :)
👍👌🙂
Thanks bruce

It is still such a sad story to hear. We have all done it though :)
I liked the grey one better. I see the tree more in it. The brown one is too prominent. Your tree, your choice.
It was always a hard choice. In the end I was also swayed by pot size. The grey was just a little too large for it right now. :)
They usually do not back bud😢
