- I give a mame-sized Hinoki Cypress an initial styling through branch selection, thinning, and placing in a ceramic pot.
The inspiration photo shown in the video is a Hinoki Cypress image from reddit user isjusme: www.reddit.com...
New to your channel but you profile sounds similar to mine...New to Bonsai, no horticulture background, living in the PNW, and I am working with conifers, specifically yamadori. I figure working with conifers from the region helps since these specimens already thrive in the PNW climate. Your trees look great. I'm not having the same success but enjoying the Bonsai journey never the less.
Thanks for reaching out, nice to meet you. Indeed your background sounds similar to mine. Yamadori, of conifers especially, is tough. I think even the pros aren't always successful, and the tree dies. Plus it can be hard to wait for years while the tree recovers from collection shock before training. Hence why I most often use nursery material. So if yamadori is getting you down, you might consider trying out some nursery stock, which is generally vigorous, ready for training, and already accustomed to pot culture.
That's a lovely little tree! Did you buy it from a Bonsai nursery or is it just regular shrub to go in the garden?
I agree, it's a nice variety - I love the deep forest green of the foliage. I bought it at a regular nursery, but it was sold as a bonsai starter - basically a well developed cutting in a small pot without any bonsai training.
