Wow looks totally different, your branch placement never fails to amaze me Ryan. Would be nice to see it again when it's sprouted new growth. Music spot on, tee shirt great 😂👍

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Peter m8ty, i think i just put the music on for you lol.

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you Xav m8 ;)

Great video again Ryan, look forward to seeing this one again in full flush come spring time. Keep up the good work, i'm fairly new to Bonsai and looking to repot my larch just before bud burst in Spring 2025.

[@houghtonbonsai]

[@keithwinning9666]

What’s the aftercare plan? I’ve always repotted Larch in Spring. Back budding is also hit and miss with Larch they don’t readily back bud in my experience 🤔

[@houghtonbonsai]

Hi Keith, i will just put it in the greenhouse for a couple of weeks

[@keithwinning9666]

It’s gonna be a nice tree in a few years, got to love Larch they are very forgiving with a bit of wire. 👏👍

[@sharonbuckley4591]

Ice job so far. I think I would cut it back and take off that big lump at the top and make the apex come off the branch that has some movement to it that comes off the outside thick part.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks, that's always an idea if this does not work, lol

[@rctaz990]

I didn't know you could do root work this time of year

[@houghtonbonsai]

i have never had any probs with Larches and hawthorns m8

[@SultonBonsai]

[@dermo1981]

Thanks Ryan 👍

[@houghtonbonsai]

[@KennetDeBondt]

[@houghtonbonsai]

[@KennetDeBondt]

Well, it sure looks great!

[@houghtonbonsai]

@@KennetDeBondt thanks Kennet m8, i have no problem working on Larch this time of year, this is the time of year when you buy them bare rooted from eBay lol

[@LCWINTERS]

Great video 👍

[@houghtonbonsai]

@@LCWINTERS thanks

[@LCWINTERS]

@houghtonbonsai I got something similar from a nursery called savin nurseries but mine is a larch forest and the same issue with the trees not being secure in the pot but nothing a little TLC can't fix
