We use to have peashooters when I was a kid. A straw and a bag of peas and we just put the pea in and blow it out. I think it was a penny for the straw and 2 cents for a small bag of peas. You brought back memories.
Hackberry was actually pretty recently reclassified into the family Cannabaceae! Thanks for the videos, your practical approach to bonsai has made you one of my favorite channels on TH-cam. Cheers.
Thank you for the hackberry video. Not many videos on them, and I think there needs to be more information on them. They get such a bad reputation for being considered a "trash tree"
This is most unfortunate misinformation. There are over 70 species of Celtis...Both the Southern Hackberry and Celtis sinensis are used for landscaping tree. they are considered highly desirable bonsai material in China and in Taiwan. I like the Chinese Hackbery because leaf reuces size nicely, and is a bit glossy....copared to the american Celtis.
Hi! Felt inspired by you so I created my own TH-cam to document myself learning and growing. Keep uploading I love your style and how relaxed we are here. Much love
I have in the past...Very similar cheracteristics...pmice is easier to find here in the Bay Area...whereas pumice more in Souther CA...and small lava rock can also be an equivalent. ...retain water, and lots of pour for air.
Meticulous pruning on this larger CH tree. Spring will bring out the nice growth in both trees. What do you think of wood glue for the large hole in tree 2? I use it on my bigger cuts.
Thanks again for your wonderfully informative videos, Mr. Chang! 🙏🏻 For me as a beginner, this is a wonderful motivation and I am always fascinated by how quickly and precisely you work. You have taught me not to be too afraid of doing something wrong. And that was the main reason why I hesitated for so long to dedicate myself to this art. PS: Every time I watch one of your videos, I wish I could jump two, three or four years into the future to see the development. But I suspect most viewers will feel the same way. 😉
@@MiltonChang-ee6rq yeah it is far too cold in my climate to grow basil outside year Round. I have mine in a window, and it gets enough sun to be healthy
I like the Sinbisis because the leaves are glossy...Some of this has rough bark too. I am sure the occidentalist has its virtues as well. Try them and let us know.
I have a handful of Celtis reticulata from the desert southwest as I live in zone 9, I've found that they have much more desirable features compared to other American species. The leaves have reduced to between 1/2-1/4 of an inch and the bark is textured without being "warty", even on my trees that are around 5 years old and very much still in development.

Nice! Memories are made of this!

Un grand merci à vous pour la vidéo!
Merxi!

This is a very well explained tutorial with these 2 trees. You have a nice way of explaining your thoughts to the viewers. Excellent!
thabnks!
Have you ever used pumice instead of perlite? I prefer it as it doesn't float.

Almost every tree looks good as you work at it.
Very good video love them all keep it up
Thanks for the encouragement!
Thanks!
Nice program bonsai thank you for sharing Mr,good luck
Thank you!
You can always put a rock on the root to keep it in place. Just a thought.
Sure Whatever does the job! Thanks!
Have you ever tried making a bonsai out of a basil plant? Mine is about two years old and quite Woody now.
I have not. Our winter is too cold. They are perennial in USDA Zones 10-11. I recommend you also try Rosemary...especially the prostrate variety.

excited! :)
Same lol
Respectfully, is stress on the root system a concern when the tree is pulled from the pot or picked up by the trunk?
Yes...but whqt can you do when you want to reduce the size of the root ball...Minimal disturbance is the best I can do.
👍👌🙂
thanks!
The large Chinese Hackberry smooth bark shown here is nothing like the Hackberry in the southern U.S. which here has a very unique gnarly bark.
