Carving English Elm Bonsai
I recorded this video in 2020 and havent done anything with it until now.
In this video i carve a english elm.
This tree was collected from my local woodland in 2016.
I left the tree to grow in the first year.
The second year i made a branch selection and wired some branches into the right direction.
The next 2 years i focussed on growth of the branches, especially the lower ones, to get a good thickness on them.
The 4th year in 2020 i repotted the tree into a better looking pot, but still oversized to let it grow some more.
In 2020 I also did the carving and more wiring to shape the branches again.
In 2023 i repotted the tree again and this time into a bonsai pot, but still a oversized one to help with the growth. In 2 or 3 years I will repot again and perhaps into a smaller one.

Переглядів 5487 місяців тому
In this episode im making a Tanuki. Tanuki is a technique where you take a piece of deadwood and add young trees to make the two together look much older than it actually is. As the name tanuki is a Japanese racoon dog, isnt a racoon but looks like one. this is a great technique if you have limited budget or if you want to make a decent tree in a short time. its only a short video, as this is m...

Ancient Alpine tree becomes Bonsai
Переглядів 6 тис.11 місяців тому
in this video i am working on a yamadori (collected from the wild) Scots pine. Yamadori Scots pine. Bought in 2018 from a collector and since I only have done the deadwood. This one came from the french Alps and these trees are extremely old. These trees grow very slowly due to their high altitude habitat. They grow a few milimeters a year, so even the trunk is relative small the are still old....

    Interested why no more than 10% moler clay? I sometimes use more than that. Is it affecting the PH? Great work on that stump. It's going to be an awesome tree in a few years.

    • @rhbonsai
      @rhbonsai 7 місяців тому

      Its indeed the ph levels. On its own it can be very acidic, almost like kanuma. Acidic soil prevents nutrients been taken up by the tree. Long term it can cause loss of branches.

  • @mikeswain9085
    @mikeswain9085 8 місяців тому

    Ramon, was the carving seen at 36:06 scorched or did you 'colour' it some other way please? Most small lighters I've seen seem to have no power in them to do any scorching with. Really love the background music in this video, brilliant.
