Watch as Eric repots a collected coastal Redwood - if you are a fan of ASMR, then you're going to love this video! The species scientific/Latin name, Sequoia Sempervirens, means "forever green" or "living forever." Eric purchased this tree from Bon Shimon of Mendocino Coast Bonsai (mcbonsai.com) last year, and it's been about one year since Bob collected it.
00:00:55 Whenever Eric receives a new tree, the first thing he likes to do before beginning any bonsai work is to assess root health with a bare root and root health assessment. Build the foundation for a healthy plant with healthy root growth as the first step!
00:01:51 Eric removes the tree from its container and clears the dense nursery soil away from the roots with a bent nose tweezer.
00:02:43 Close-up view of the roots as Eric trims them.
00:03:40 A few larger root snips! This part made me nervous TBD but Eric knows what he's doing. :-)
00:04:30 Prepping a bonsai container from Thomas and Kathy Arakawa for the tree.
00:06:43 Adding bottom layer of bonsai soil and placing the tree in the pot.
00:07:27 Wiring the tree securely into the pot.
00:08:52 Gently pushing the roots down into the container and covering with bonsai soil. Mesmerizing...!
00:10:36 Adding finer top layer of bonsai soil.
00:11:29 Heathy watering session!
00:11:41 Voila! The roots looked relatively healthy, so Eric will keep an eye on the foliage.
