That is a beautiful tree. The trunk has so much character. In the blink of an eye, it went from shrub to a beautiful bonsai again, amazing.

Thanks for showing us how to get a nicer gnarly looking trunk in a relatively short time. It looks great, not at all like it's been chopped. The flowing design is lovely too. You're a good teacher! 🙂

Beautiful tree!- I like the big base of the Nabari very wide, beefy, & gnarly defined turns of a semi wind swap style 😊

@jeffhurst4744 10 месяцев назад

Another good video on shaping and design. I envy your space to grow and thicken the trunks. I really like what you’ve done with this Zelkova. Looking forward to followup videos on this tree. Keep them coming my friend.

I do like this minimal wiring approach! Also like your snips, are they Felco?

@bonsaiheirloom 10 месяцев назад

Hi there! I tend to just buy generic brand name tools because I don't take very good care of them!

@egoebonsai37 10 месяцев назад

Be patient in the process and the results will be beautiful. Greeting one hobby Bonsai from Indonesia Sir. Good luck.

@stephenkoebcke9070 10 месяцев назад

Mr. Chang, can you get the same result by planting in a large cement mixing tub? Steve.

@MiltonChang 10 месяцев назад

Sure Any container would do

@booskidoo9169 10 месяцев назад

Do you have an update to this video? Checking back in after these operations to see the results after growth would be a great format for Shorts

@bonsaiheirloom 10 месяцев назад

Hello! I filmed this recently, so no update just yet! I will definitely do an update in a few months from now so stay tuned.

@dreamalamb4259 10 месяцев назад

Indiana, USA here. Drought took my curly leaf willow starts out. I managed to root 3 small starts and have them in the house. Should I keep them in the house through this winter? I want to make a 3 trunk Bonsai out of them. Thank you for your videos ❣️

@bonsaiheirloom 10 месяцев назад

Probably a good idea to keep them in the house to keep them from freezing over. Less light is OK since willow trees are dormant in the winter time.

@curtmudgeon8703 10 месяцев назад

can i "scar the branch" of my black pine to induce a "new branch growth" as well??? Love the videos!!

@MiltonChang 10 месяцев назад

Not likely Mikawa varieties sometimes will send out new buds but only sometimes

@DavidLMorrow 10 месяцев назад

Thank you. I have learned much from your videos. I am in planting zone 7. Looks like you must be in 8 or 9. So my maple may be at risk if I do this kind of work now in middle Tennessee?

@bonsaiheirloom 10 месяцев назад

When you want to do anything drastic to the branches or roots, always play safe when leaves have dropped in the winter months.

@MydNitQ 2 месяца назад

Do you need to let it grow tall and wild to grow the trunk fast or should you cut it back once per year/every two years?

@bonsaiheirloom Месяц назад

It is a matter of compromise. A very big straight trunk with no taper looks weird…Thus I suggested cut back once a year or so and create a new apex…and repeat a year later. You can introduce turns too.

@Sean-ll5cm 10 месяцев назад

the trunk has great movement

@bonsaiheirloom 10 месяцев назад

@sagebonsai 10 месяцев назад

I got a zelkova earlier this year it was originally in a shallow pot with such tiny leaves. I've slip potted it into a massive deep pot. Now it's fall what time frame can I work on the roots.

@bonsaiheirloom 10 месяцев назад

Any time in the late fall after the leaves have dropped.

@joeimbesi5361 10 месяцев назад

Nice tree. Any thoughts on cutting that thick branch off and regrowing the branches? That branch seems too thick in relation to the others.

@bonsaiheirloom 10 месяцев назад

Looks OK to me 🙂

@colebrooks7183 10 месяцев назад

Is there a way to encourage a tree to form the breakage you have on the trunk of this one? My childhood home had a large oak tree that looked a lot like that and I would like to simulate that tree.

@bonsaiheirloom 10 месяцев назад

Emulate nature by breaking branches rather than cutting them smoothly. When in doubt, follow nature!
