No, although I've done smaller than this. The problem is that with the individual trunks of this being pretty small, and branches even smaller, it's hard to replicate it at small size.
@@Bonsaify Good points. I'm considering trying a hawthorn as trunk chopped 3 thinking they were dead (we've had a hard winter followed by a heatwave in the UK). So short trunks and fresh growth lend to small projects.
What Kind of Juniper is this? I started taking cuttings from my Blue Chip Juniper in my landscaping. It's funny, I don't like the shrub at all in my yard, but when I lifted the branches to prune it back I found many rooted areas. I now have about 50 cuttings with roots, one is 1" thick and about 3' tall. Instant pre-bonsai. Also, Do you recommend paper birch for Bonsai? I have been eyeing one 2" thick in my yard... Thanks!
It's a Kishu (Juniperus chinensis variety) that I grew from a cutting. Some birch are good for bonsai, others are difficult to work with. Branch dieback can be a problem, particularly on water birch. European white birch are doable.
They are redwood fence boards, cut to the right size. The box is only for growing and temporary, once it reaches a bit more refined stage it'll likely go on a stone slab, or into a ceramic pot.
This is definitely my favorite raft
Four seconds in, God, that is gorgeous!
Thanks! ☺️
Looks really nice ❤
Didn't like rafts until I saw this video... maybe one day I'll put one together..!
Wow. Love this raft.
Such a cool project! Wild and alive without being messy.
That's a beautiful raft. Thanks for sharing
Awesome tree, very naturalistic and inspiring!! In a few years and a nice pot will look great
A wonder project. It has so much potential. Looking forward to future updates.
This is a beauty of a piece. 👏
Thanks! We love it!
That is a beautiful bonsai.
Great video, loved the Star Wars side clip
Lol, I filmed it on May the 4th, just a little Easter Egg!
Fantastic piece! Given me some inspiration to start one!
We'll be sharing some younger pieces that we have in the works that could be made into similar compositions in upcoming videos. Thanks!
Fantastic tree now. I watched your earlier videos on this.
Have you done a similar mame or shohin project?

from what type of wood is the frame made of? doesn't it get damaged from the water?
