Frank Yee Cork Bark Dwarf Jade Summer Maintenance Pruning 

@@itisjustmedude Thanks! I used to think that I need to do something about those thick curving surface roots, but I’ve come to see them as a more interesting part of the tree! Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@googleboy7530 It’s an all around great variety that hits on all cylinders for growth, health, interest, and looks. I’d love to find lilliput cork bark variety if one exists. I do hope that they make it your way soon!

🎉 I know - so exciting!!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you! The coiled thick base roots have grown on me - they used to really bother me, but my styling of the tree now leverages them as a balance for the tree with the thick roots on the left and a branch to the right. Sometimes the tree just helps you with the style you are going for which is so nice. I’ve got a few I’ve been battling with their look - they seem to do the exact opposite of what I want them to with each pruning, which seems unlikely, but there you go! Thanks for watching and keep up the great work with your channel which I have been thoroughly enjoying!

@@CoffeeandBonsaiwithTom I have the same philosophy when it comes to imperfect nebari - just go with what the tree gives you. I really like what you've done with it and think your branch structure nicely complements the root base.

It’s an interesting group. I really enjoy seeing pictures of the trees that are posted! Some of the larger ones are astounding. It makes me think about modifying my indoor setup so that I can accommodate some larger specimens. ❤️🌲

@@garou1032 Sure, I can do that sometime. To be honest, I vary mine quite a bit always experimenting to dial it in for each tree / pot combination, but all this is worth talking about. For example, a tiny pot I use more organic or other ingredients to maintain more moisture since they dry out so fast. In genral, however, I use most any sort of inorganic with lava being a favorite combined with a bit of pumice and little fine pine bark as a general purpose mix. Also, bonsai jack and bonsai supply have some amazing soils that I often use right out of the bag - they are a great option and available on Amazon. Best of luck.

@garou1032 I agree with Tom. Bonsai Jack is my current favorite, followed by the shohin size soil from Bonsai Supply. I also tend to add a little organic soil to the mix.

@@CoffeeandBonsaiwithTom I'm from India and as I found from Google, bonsai jack is an US based company So I can't really get it. I did some research today about bonsai soils, I want a soil that dries out faster for my climate and I'm gonna

​@@CoffeeandBonsaiwithTom I'm from India bro and I as got from Google, bonsai jack is a US based company. So can't really get that soil and its hard to find good quality soil here. I did some research today and I came to the conclusion that i shouldgo with more of inorganic than organic because it's suitable for my climate. My soil mix gonna be 3 part garden soil, 1 part perlite, 1 part gravel, 1 part Cinder and a little cocopeat. Is it okay for afra's? Also can you help to avoid root rots, I have rotted about 2-3 afra's till now. Thanks for replying bro

@@dkstott29 For sure there are a few very opinionated folks in that group which is why I lurk for the most part. I always think, well, there are so many different growing conditions and environments - context really matters when giving advice for anything, but particularly for plants grown as bonsai. You have such great comments and insights Dave and I always appreciate them!

Not true!
