Creating a Pomegranate shohin bonsai

A 6 week timelapse showing how to turn a potted up small-leaf pomegranate (punica granatum nana) into a young shohin bonsai.
Starting with a regular garden centre plant (Or, in this case, a established rooted cutting) and pruning as well as wiring the plant out to become a bonsai. Then repotting into a bonsai pot, waiting 6 weeks and giving the tree a prune back. And of course.. A suggestion what to do with the removes branches (Growing pomegranate from cuttings is possible!)

Stunning..

[@GrowingBonsai]

Just a little thing to get us through the wintermonths. Thinking about posting my 1m tall Azalea in flower ;)

Danke dir!

[@bobcatbonsai]

Yet another master piece in the making! Great video Jelle, but when do we get your voice back guiding us through the work?

[@GrowingBonsai]

Hm.. good question. I have been told I talk too much!

[@bobcatbonsai]

@@GrowingBonsai that is absurd. The only thing you say is information that is needed to learn from. People are crazy.

Bonsai legal 👍👍👍

[@sbragaglia]

Wunderbar!
(Your cuttings are 2-3 times thicker than my 2 years old sidelines! 🤦🏻‍♂️)

[@GrowingBonsai]

hahaha, sorry :)

[@kiljaypc]

Hi , lovely video, but wouldn’t have the heart to cut off that lovely little flower. I keep my pomegranate tree in a back room which is unheated. Would that be okay over winter?

[@GrowingBonsai]

that should be fine!

[@abydosianchulac2]

That shot near the end of the tree with scissors seemed like a threat to the tree. "Behave and grow well, or this top is coming off!"

[@GrowingBonsai]

Do you think it worked? Will it grow better?

[@abydosianchulac2]

@@GrowingBonsai Well, with how it screamed, "NOOOO!!!" when you cut off that low branch, I think it's pretty intimidated now. So, maybe?

[@GrowingBonsai]

@@abydosianchulac2 haha, honest mistake, cutting that branch. I just wanted to remove the dead part!

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Another great informative video and another example of a tree that I need to add to my small collection. How tolerant are they of the cold Jelle?

[@GrowingBonsai]

I have been told they should not get too much frost. I protect it from temps < -5c when i think of it therefor

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

@@GrowingBonsai OK Maybe they will be fine over her ein a cold frame then. I need to start looking :)

[@GrowingBonsai]

[@maazansari6143]

Is this normal or dwarf pomegranate plant?

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂

[@chrisswales1174]

Great video. Do the cuttings really take that easily? My son has a pomegranate- I might need to persuade him to take a few for me. Keep posting the vids - they’re really interesting and informative. Thank you.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Yes they do. The plant in the video was a cutting taken in spring!

[@Bonsaiandknives]

Hi Yelle, where do have your Pomegranate trees in winter? Cold room or inside warm?

[@GrowingBonsai]

They are outside, but protected from deep frost (shed if it really freezes)
