- Boxwoods are a world-wide tree species recognized for their contributions to the domestic landscape, and inside of the practice of bonsai recognized for their fantastic acclamation and accommodation of stunning representations of nature in miniature. Build your boxwood bonsai skills as we cover the fundamentals-starting from raw material, how to prune, wire, style, repot, and understand the seasonal timing of work over the course of the year to maximize their presence as a bonsai subject.
I just recovered a 38 year old boxwood cluster of 7 and for 13 years they have been filed planted under low light conditions. This is my first bonsai. This video has given me and my first bonsai the best chance at success I could have ever asked for. Thank You very much!!!
Wow this is probably the best looking Bonsai i’ve ever seen. Looks like a 500 Year old Oak 😯
You got me with the tree hug 💜so grateful for these videos!
Wow! Amazing! Just like he said if u were to picture urself laying down under that tree and seeing all the branch structure and having the sun to shine through that takes u to another place. That finished piece gave me chills . MASTERPIECE
Haaaa!!! Mr. Clemons is an even LARGER celebrity now!!! 😂 I have a prunus mume in my collection from him and another on his nursery grounds that I have a spring date with 😝
Wonderful!
I never expected that end result!
Worth the effort!
Good work fellas!
These videos are fresh air, good food for any wants to learn and increase in this hobbie. Such a great Thank you im sending to you all from Spain!!!!!
Nice!!
Very interesting video. The two of you make such a great educational team. So much knowledge.
Great lecture. Lots of stuff to learn here.
As far as I know, Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) has neutral pH and does not change the pH of the soil, which is why plants are so welcoming towards it.
I use 1 tbsp/gal of Epsom salt on all my plants. When a plant needs acidic water (most do), I also add 1 tbsp/gal of lemon juice.
A bonsai enthusiasts Dream Tree ..Bravo !
Wow! I could kill for that buxus.So beautiful,the best I ever seen.🥰
Beautiful Bonsai 😍
Like 293❤️
My friend, thank you for good sharing 😊 Have a good day
This magnificent little tree reminds me the climbing tree scene from Ong-Bak movie😄
Awesome!
So weird, I got a boxwood the other day go 9 bucks, never did a boxwood but wish I could send you a picture because it has the coolest trunk”single” and root structure that it might be one of my best thus far, 33 years ago I did my first Bonsai and after the Bill Valavanis was one of my teachers, watch you religiously from Virginia 😎🤙🏼
Where did you buy it from ?
What a great episode 👌
Beautiful bonsai! 👏
Wonderful tree, really quite awe-inspiring!
Beautiful video and great job,very compliments!👏👏👏
I have been growing a hedge of about 30 boxwood here in Minnesota, for about 20 odd years, Very sub-zero conditions, and never lost one.
Great job you did
Wonderful presentation and very informative.
Thank you.
Bonsai yang sangat luar biasa ,sukses selalu tuan...
Gorgeous!
Amazing specimen of a bonsai.
Luar biasa ♥️♥️
Thats the best Japanese scissors ✂ ✂ you can get they are good for everything.
Where's the link for the Rodney Cam! 😀 Could watch him shape the tree all day.
That end result is unbelievable
What a class video 👏👏👏 Thank you!
Bonsai istimewa ❤❤👍
I've grown a Buxus microphylla "Curly locks" in the southern california foothills (sunset zone 18). It did just fine with 3-5 hours of morning sun, but really didnt like getting hit after 11-12ish
Masterclass! Learned so much. Can anyone explain why Kingsville is the preferred Boxwood to use? All we have around me are mostly Green Velvets and some Korean Boxwoods. Are those good for bonsai?
💕
That specimen is insane. I've seen 70 year old buxus semperverins growing here in cemeteries, tempting, but don't want the karma.
I understand why that left high root was taken off, but that bigish front branch shouldnt have been taken off. The chap said that the purpose of removing the branch was to be able to see through the tree, with the foliage mass reduced this was achieved, that's why it should have been left until the end to see if it was necessary to take it off, it wasnt. The branch also helped the presentation of the large horizontal branch, it's now too stark as the lost branch helped it to blend, transition into the rest of the tree, it now separates itself fom the rest of the tree.
This is very unfortunate and saddening, but it's done now.
Some trees should be observed with a lot more sensitivity such as this monumental tree 🙏
Chào bạn ❤
If this isn’t Bilbo’s party tree, nothing is.
Where could I buy something like this ? Raw materials not a specimen
Wow
Đẹp quá ❤❤❤
Bronzing on a boxwood, just like any evergreen is simply caused by the decomposition of chlorophyll in the leaves and the true color coming out. If that is undesirable, a bit of shade in the colder weather will prevent that bleaching/bronzing.
I can't believe the leaves on this boxwood. So tiny! Are these kingsville hard to find?
Sometimes Bonsai's in old wooden containers look fantastic
I thought it doesn't make any difference if you use organic or chemical fertilizer, as long as the plant gets the nytrients it needs...
"You should be a dictator tonight." - ❤
end result?
Too big this tree has great ramification but needs to be reduced in size to give it that powerful look. IMO looks like a bush right now.
AGE ?
1:56:01 Big disparity in foliar mass from left to right, the sparse side has really bad overlap in its branches and looks very unbalanced and though somehow this was nearly the end result. The finish produced at the end of the video is breathtaking. Well done 👏🏼
Not politically correct to say it came from Taiwan? I'm sorry, didn't realize we were living in communist China. Great presentation though. I do appreciate all the info.
Deffo not an expert but it does look a bit like a bush
bvvcb😢😮😮
Looks great, but boxwood stinks. Their cat-spray smell pervades European parks and gardens in late summer - enough reason to avoid the continent at that time. I even avoid them in big box retail garden centres.
I have a couple of nice boxwood bonsai but I understand what you mean. They can stink! Once I brought one indoors to work on it. The tree was indoors overnight and the whole room smelled from it. Blamed my poor cat until I realized it was the boxwood. Now they only stay outside.
I can't believe how UN-BONSAI the finished tree looks. Why bother?
Bonsai is not 1 look...
A good tree ruined.
How?
You need to understand about bonsai. This boxwood will be kept in a pot. It is not intended to be a landscape shrub. The idea here is to make it look like an ancient oak tree
There will be more shaping, refinement, and pruning throughout it's lifetime. This is only the first shaping. Once I did a bonsai demonstration at a garden club meeting. A woman in the front row watched everything I did. I thought she was very interested. At the end she said that before I worked on it she would have been happy to plant the tree in her yard. As for my finished product she said I had ruined it as far as she was concerned. Some people just don't understand bonsai.
Vidéo incompréhensible du fait que la traduction en français ne ce fait pas
Learn some English, very high quality information

@@DarthMasiah I mean you can’t get angry because they don’t translate, I’m not English too but I’m learning some to understand them better
