In this video I decided to repot the Old Sycamore.
This is my dad’s tree that I have been looking after for him.
I guide you through the issues I have with the tree. A few ideas on how to cure them along the way.
As you can see it revealed a lovely nabari. I decide not to give the tree a drastic cut just yet. I will let it just recover from being reported.
Again I am trying out a new soil mix so we will how the Sycamore goes being in it.
Thanks for watching see you in the next video!!

Great repot bud. I'm sure that tree will get there.

Great video repotting your Sycamore, I gave mine a much needed repot in 2022, there was still a lot of clay in it from many years ago but it is now much better soil and it has done well. This tree appears on my youtube channel in many of my videos, please feel free to have a look. Happy Gardening.

Nice potting mix. Repotting Looking good. Try a diamond drill bit for the clay pot to drill into. That should be a nice easy drill.

I love this tree. The story doesn't have to make it better.; it does though. its such a cool trunk and i absolutely agree, i would collect it today if i thought it had a good chance to survive

@nillysbonsai9636 Год назад

Thank you Taco, It’s great to have history and memories in a tree. Sometimes you get stuck with a tricky sycamore like this that most think could never make a good bonsai 🤣 I actually love this tree it’s a personally challenge 🌱

@XaviersBonsaiRetreat Год назад

That is a great tree with a back history to match. I love what you are doing with it. On the vermiculite front - I swapped from perlite about 3 years ago and have never regretted it. Great vid Sam

@nillysbonsai9636 Год назад

Thanks Xav, Hopefully we’ll make something decent of it again! Interesting 🤔 I’ve seen mixed opinions on vermiculite what grade/size do you use? I got a 100ltr bag for free as was mistakenly sent as perlite! I’ve been adding a little to most pot ups.

Thank you! Glad you get something useful from my efforts 😊

@jbmckean Год назад

your new soil mix was interesting but for me you missed out a vital ingredient some Sphagnum Moss..and maybe some bone meal as a feeder .

@nillysbonsai9636 Год назад

Thanks for watching and commenting, This is an inexpensive mix im trying out if the tree was going in a smaller pot I’d be swapping a few ingredients about. As for feed, il feed the tree when it shows signs of recovery others wise isn’t beneficial when you’ve been tampering like this. Spag moss I use under big roots cuts and AirLayering. Interested to know do you add to the mix and for what species?

@jbmckean Год назад

@@nillysbonsai9636 my mix is compost 20%/john Innis #2 -- 20% /sharp sand/perlite /pea gravel/ pine bark/ spag moss /bone meal i usually mix up around a 50ltr barrow at a time and use as needed for all bonsai repots .

@nillysbonsai9636 Год назад

Nice, Well minus the Bark, spag moss and bone meal (at time of potting) that is the mix I used to use! Great results in Spring summer with collected trees and material but I feel it can sit a little wet and cold in smaller pots over winter had some damage this year. This is only a training mix im using inexpensive stuff For a warmer and even Better Drained hopefully

Sycamore as in Platanus racemosa , etc.....or Acer?

@nillysbonsai9636 Год назад

Acer pseudoplatanus is it proper name I believe we call them sycamore maples (UK) . In the US I think they call a Platanus occidentalis Plane tree a sycamore.
