      @@andersnrregren9087 Yes with most plants the foliage will try to match the root size. When I grew my pot plants you can easily see how the roots relate to leafs and you could almost turn it into a math problem if the light was constant. Also guy might be overwatering his trees if it is too wet it cannot breath as most plants breath from their roots. Peter's spagnum moss trick is truly the best because the roots flourish in the moisture but can still breath and spagnum is meant to co-exist with root systems. ALOT of people overwater their plants.

  • @MAMLeers
    @MAMLeers 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I could't agree more: European Hornbeam, amongst others, is very suitable for bonsaï, even for beginners in this hobby. Personally, I consider it as a big advantage that the species tend to grow its branches more or less horizontally. I once grew one for many years untill a height of about 120 centimeters, partially in the garden soil, at the end in a pot, and I never ever used even one piece of wire on it! I just kept pruning it "in the right direction", regarding the new buds and shoots. So, it's absolutely possible to grow a bonsaï Hornbeam like that, only by specific pruning. It's not even that difficult.
    Furthermore, at a lot of places in Western Europe, you can find them (seedlings) almost everywhere, almost growing like weeds! So if you think about giving it a try with bonsaï, here is one that is very recommendable and quite easy to grow (and cheap!). Certainly if you have the patience not to pot it up too soon... More or less like mr Chan did...
    In my experience, it prefers a rather sandy soil and likes quite some water and fertilizer, by the way.

      to replant you have more or less two times in a year to do it, one is in the spring before the buds break and after the frost is done in your area and the other is after the leaves have fallen in the autumn so the roots can regrow before the frost sets in again.
      Don't do it in the summer. Only do this if you have an emergency replant, but take precautions to kepp the tree alive (that is don't cut any roots, keep it in the shade for a while and so on) and if you know that you can do it and have done so before as roots don't grow as much in the summer compared to spring or autumn

      @h.b.1421 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@dbe2705 it depends on what you want to achieve right now. If you only want to prune this years growth to one or two leaves (new buds) do so once the new growth got to 5-10 leaves to get more ramification and to let more light into the inner tree, then go ahead. I wouldn't cut too much and too deep into old wood though if you don't know what you are doing and how to do it.
      The hornbeams Peter Chan has shown here in this video weren't in full leave yet, I think.
      Growing bonsai isn't a race you need to win, gain some patience by watching the trees grow and see what they need. The trees will tell you that, if you take a good look at them.
      But if someone else wants to correct me, go ahead, I won't be offended. Just be friendly with your answer.

    Another great video. I live in Japan and wild trees are abundant in my area. My problem is , I have trouble telling a Hornbeam from a Zelkova. Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to differentiate the two species?

      The hornbeam's leaves should have a more pronounced wave effect . If that makes sense

    i had a hornbeam, with a 10cm trunk... cut back 2 years ago to a height of 70cm tall, right in the garden, did very well... untill a month ago. the leaves went brown, shrinked and now its just dead 😕... i think some disease or infection. the bark is brown, no green and alive cambium beneath... pity, it could have been a great bonsai. Maybe you, Peter or anybody, have an idea what could cause this sudden death?

    How important do you think hardiness zones are? Where I live is about zone 9ish and so many wonderful trees like most spruces and similar are not technically viable in higher zones but I have not tried

    • @mchlbk
      @mchlbk 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's always fun to try something different but most of your trees should always be species native to your area. They are easier, grow better and have a better chance of surviving the winter without protection.

    I think the Girdling Root ads tons of character but oh well. I like it when it looks like the tree is trying to lift itself out like the swamp trees. Although I can see how the girdling could make the repotting and new positioning harder.

    This is why I dont think I could do Bonsai. If a tree just spent 25 years growing I'd honestly be like, alright dude, you've worked hard on yourself I am not going to mess with you. You do you.
    And then you watch Bonsai vids and it's like, this bonsai has been growing these branches for the past 10 years! *CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP* ;-; You just undid 10 years of work from that poor little treeeeee T_T. Now he's gotta start all over!
    I don't know why I feel this way, I know it's not reasonable.

    • @dirtpoorchris

      Its is ok to feel this way I used to feel like bonsai people tortured trees too. But they have rescue bonsai where people go out and rescue small trees that cannot grow or dying and repurpose it into a bonsai. Also it is wired into the tree DNA the more you cut it the more it needs to grow and the tree responds in kind if you cut it correctly. For instance if you want a THICK healthy basil plant you will have to cut it many times as it grows up or it will just be a long stringy weak plant. I would like to see what happens when some people "free the bonsai" though like decide to put it back into the wild so it can become a full size tree again and see how its DNA acts to the new situation after being pruned so long.

      Except when it has been air layered, it is multiplying and continuing to grow. Adding so much value and extra roots allows the tree to express itself in so many different ways!
