This is more like a beginner's video to a miniature Formal Upright style bonsai (well, more like a pre-bonsai) that I created; using this Chinese Juniper seedling. This video was done in June 2011, I have posted an update in June 2012, check it out.
I am so glad that you decided to delete the derogatory and offensive responses. You took your time to create and produce this video that i am sure many of us entering the fantastic hobby of Bonsai will appreciate. THANK YOU for the inspiration. I live in the tropics Caribbean so I may need to find plants that are indiginous to this region. You have inspired me.
For 40 years, yes. It would be a better idea, however, to comment on the actual subject of this post. I liked this mini-lesson. As a beginner, one of the things I often feel hard to grasp is how to envision the maturing or grown tree when your starter material looks almost like an unruly weed! (I'm not criticizing the author's choice of material.) He provides a good start for beginners like me, demonstrating the typical branch and foliage arrangement for a formal or informal style tree.
Your videos are perfect. They relax me as they are instructional. The tempo is pleasing, voice calm, and clear. And what you do so easily is not so easily done by most beginners--trust me, I know. I am very impressed!
My son has just taken an interest in Bonsai. Thank you for your informational and inspirational video.
As a beginner, I think you covered everything. Start to 'finish'. Great video thanks.
Thank you for sharing with us. I just started my endeavors in Bonsai two months ago. I have learned a lot from your videos!
Rest in peace, you inspired me. -Hugo
He died? :O
FREDDY BRUJO Unfortunately yes.
I watched these when I was first starting out. I was saddened when I found out...
***** so sad!
I love Bonsi Trees. They are amazing little miniatures.
I add a few drops of dish detergent to a gallon of water prior to watering dry soils. It breaks the "surface tension" and allows the water to fully wet the soil. It has NEVER bothered my tree's or plants. Also, I think the yellow pot which you selected was the best pot for your tree, the blue's made the tree too dark & gloomy.
Hey commenting folks, I am enjoying this, and if we do, then let us.....no one is perfect yet....lol. You can teach someone what you know and not what you do not know.....but share what you do know - then we will all learn more.......be appreciate of folks willing to share and open themselves up to unappreciative folks. I am new at this and I need beginner's language.....so, if you want more, keep searching....:)
I love your videos man. We see bonsai very similarly. You like to let the tree decided primarily what it is going to look like. That is also how I grow my bonsai. Now I have nothing against wiring, but when I see a more wier than tree it turns me off, anyway great little tree, I would keep it close to that size it it were mine it has a nice look. Looking forward to your next project, maybe a maple hint hint ;-) God bless.
Good video, a modest establishment with pruning, but produces beautiful bonsai...
Thank you for such an insightful video! Greatly appreciate your knowledge and time!
Thank you for your instructional videos. There are always a few idiots who are displeased with just about everything in life. I hope you won't let this vocal minority dissuade you from what you are doing. Please be assured, the silent majority support your efforts. I count myself in that number.
When re-potting and first watering you can poke some holes into the soil with a chop stick or similar to help water absorb and prevent pockets.
Haha..awesome.you turned that little bush into something beautiful!!
Thank you very much for the history and general information!
It has been very helpful!
watering: use a bowl or tray with a couple of drops of dish soap, or add drops to water can.
Awesome. Thx for the great tips. You're very knowledgable "health of the bonsai first" Great!! :)
love your video. very informative. you voice is very clear and calming. goes with bonsai very well :)
I want to start Bonsai with already grown trees from 15cm to 30cm and then start from seeds. Perhaps I'll plant some seeds at the same moment I buy already grown plants! :)
So far what I've seen is cutting some branches and apparently every certain time cut the roots a little bit.
Yet another great video of yours. You are really helpful and inspirational. Thanks!!
wonderfull work of art. i wish i could learn to do it easily.
My god you made it into a Charlie Brown Christmas tree!
THANKS FOR posting a NEW VID
I would have left the branch on the bottom right so that it would fatten up the trunk. Otherwise it might be hard to get the taper.
Thank you for this video... i am going to start my first bonai very soon.. one from a Banyan tree that i am growing from seed... and another plant that is hardy to my area... so i can keep it outside all year. when i start posting my progress i would love some input from you.
Thanks for sharing. I trying to grow some citrus bonsai.
another good video.thank you very much
Very informative...thank you.
Great video, thank you for the effort of sharing your knowlege, and keep up the good work
Very good job, it it wonderful thank you
from everything I've watched on bonsai trees tonight, I'm thinking you should plant it off centre and not in the middle for good reason.
I am wondering how this tree has done with this choice of soil. The difficulty of getting water into the pot makes me wonder about another important aspect of soil, aeration. The water draining quickly through the soil draws fresh air into the soil.
It is very interesting .
Rip bonsai student
This is terrible.
On Facebook his wife posted it
Oh no! Sorry to hear this
Kevin Blaz what!!! he passed away? i did not know
This is so sad... Just when I was about to ask him a question about something. RIP...
tôi thích bạn làm tốt lắm
Thanks for the video. I have seen a lot of bonsi video however yours are the best. Im just starting my bonsi quest and im on the hunt for tools any good ideas on where to buy?
Thank you , it is very helpful.
super helpful
look's cool
well i hope you do :)
also, good luck i herd they are hard to make good bonsai with
how often does it need watering.. i just bought a juniper today which is even smaller then they one you have in your video.
HI
Did you have an update on this plant since June 2011? thanks
I just started a crepe myrtle bonsai. It's about a foot tall. The trunk is about as big as thick as a #2 pencil however it's the roots I'm concerned about. Very thin and threadlike. Any suggestions on this.
Just found your video and really like it. I want to start raising a bonsai, but I don't know which kind of tree to pick. I life in central Germany and I just have a balkony that's facing to the East. So there is quite lots of direct sun in the morning, but only shade later. I may also need to take it indoors during winter. Which kind of tree can you recommend ?
I don't get it...
Bonsai is to only be cutting the tree to keep it small, and it'll get the shape and appearance of a full-grown tree?
What about the leaf size and all of that?
I've been searching a lot and I'm just noticing out it's a lot about cutting.
I thought I had to do something with the roots...
Where can I read/see about this?
How long does it take for a nursery Juniper Parsanii to recover from a transplant from a nursery stock pot and for me to start pruning and working on it?
Greetings from Quebec. Thanks for your videos!
I have recently purchased my first bonsai tree (a 4 inch Juniper) and have been keeping it outside. However, winter is on it's way and temperatures will drop to -35. From what I read online, I want to keep my juniper outside. I was thinking of burying the pot in the ground, up to the trunk and covering the base of it with mulch and giving it cover from the wind, and covering it with snow. Or, should the tree be inside with some sort of grow light?
Twice rains in the forest.
I noticed that you mentioned that you got these specimens from a local bonsai nursery. I also live in Northern California (Santa Clara), what nursery are you talking about? Is it Phuong Nam Plants or Grove Way in Hayward?
I like the video, but I think you missed most important part that's showing how to bury the roots with soil. It's disappointed not to be able to see the process.
Is it possible to create a bonsai tree from any plant with a root, by simply pruning it and restraining it's growth with wires?
don't restrain it's growth. prune growth back to shape. wiring doesn't restrict growth, it allows you to manipulate the direction in which the growth goes.
any update on how this little guy is doing?
Love the birch tree and at 10:40 is that a birch tree in the background? i love birch trees :)
How to bonsai a banyan tree at home.....?
I don't understand why you cut off the lowest of the branches at this state of a developing bonsai. It would have thikened the bottom of the trunk, thus creating a better taper.
Maybe another tip could be not to fill the pot completly with soil. Water would have some time to sink into the soil instead of flowing off the sides.
hello, I think you should have cut the roots more but whatever. Do you still have this Plant today, what does it look like, can you make us a video of it?
How’s that tree looking now???? Update
I just bought a bonsai planting kit off of Amazon.com. Should I buy differentsoil for my seeds?
Is nani ok
Can someone please help me? I bought a juniper from a bonsai store about 2 weeks ago. I live in new england so we get some cold nights here and i don't think he let the plant go to winter dormancy. I'ts getting warmer now and im not sure what to do with it. Should i just keep watering and fertilizing or see if it gets cold??
it will be fine if it doesn't go into dormancy for a year. I wouldn't push it this growing season and make sure it sleeps in the fall. move it to the north side of your house or whatever the case may be, to reduce light level and watch the water. My junipers seem to be quite thirsty even in the winter surprisingly, so they get watered twice a week during dry spells. They aren't as finicky as some would have you to believe. They're more forgiving than you may think. Good luck.
sir please till me juniper bonsai best repoting time
Late winter/early spring
i thought you wanted large particle soil so the roots can breath?
Not for anything this small, also in Cali or anywhere in the southwest a large particle soil can dry out completely in an hour or two sometimes in summer. So the fine soil is necessary for retaining water.
When you say "pricey" how much does them costs??
Did you trim the roots?
buenas noches quiero saber si puedo hacer un bonsai de una mata llamada mini rosa
si puedes ayudarme te estaré muy agradecido
Can this be done with any juniper? And, can you root those clippings you cut off?
Yes Carol, you can root juniper cuttings. Heel cuts seem to do better than others, but they take a long time to root, even under ideal conditions. Five months or more seem to be the norm.
Thanks for taking the time to explain, you are very unselfish......:)
Carol Burnett I received some disturbing news earlier today. The bonsai student is no longer with us. His wife posted a short notification on his Facebook page. I did enjoy watching his videos and wondered why he hasn't posted any lately. I guess now we know.
Thanks Eric for taking the time to tell us.....so sorry to hear this......I hope he knew our Lord and is in heaven experiencing great JOY forever........
Please watch my Green Prince cedar bonsai video and share your expert wisdom with me! Up for suggestions, tips, dont-dos, and so on...
THanks!!!!
bonsai
oh yes, the 1 hour 2 hours in the half watering technique... you should learn to water your plants before you do cutting or anything else on a plant. you may love plants but with the lack of knowledge, you are just killing it. FYI, they are living things, not a toy.
desiste cara!
I think that you should research more about bonsai because i dont think that you know a lot, because i saw you make alot of mistakes.
Can you further explain
Where is your video? Oh that's right, you don't have any.
Have u been stoned ?
