Nice sycamore sapling, my Dad gave me one of these in July 2000 which was a single stem. I still have this tree on my youtube logo. It lost it's leaves early this year in October after I pruned some of it's branches and some roots a little. Waiting to see next spring how it's grows.

Hey Greg, can you provide me an update lemon tree A. Im curious if it survived. I hope it did. I have a Meyer lemon tree that was 3 feet tall. I have never pruned it, and I'm trying to convert it into a bonsai. The tree is 4.5 years old. On November 23, 2024, I pruned the potted lemon tree from 3 feet to just an inch tal. I also pruned the tap root to an inch, leaving three root lines due to root-bound tap roots. I potted the tree in a 10-inch pot with a mix of potting soil, banana peels, coffee grounds, and citrus fertilizer. I'm worried that the season may negatively impact the tree's growth. Any advised?

why did you title this as "from seed"

I'm pretty sure that this is a nutrient deficieny

What soil are you using? What does it consist of? Nice video.

❤ Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤ Super ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love the little plant

One year update?

The needles on the trunk start green and turn brown naturally. That’s the tree’s way of protecting its growing bark!

I just commented on your previous video about orange tree C about how it looked like it had maybe an iron deficiency. It's nice to see an update, and my guess is that you had fertilized it since then with a fertilizer that contained "chelated iron", since it appears that some of the yellowing had gone away on those specific leaves. Another thing I'm wondering about is I'm not seeing an exposed root-crown or root-flare, and supposedly this is a very important thing for tree health. On that same note, since this is growing in a round pot, it would be a good time to inspect the root system to make sure non of them are "girdling" and remove any tangles. I'm no expert I've just been doing a bit of research to try to improve the health of our ~50 year old citrus in our backyard, and these are some of the things I've noticed about our own tree.

I'm no expert. Looks good but some of the larger leaves show signs of what I think is iron deficiency (yellowing leaves with dark green veins). Curling leaves are supposedly signs of under-watering (and they don't uncurl, you must wait for new leaves).

I dug up an Eastern Red Cedar from my yard and I grew it big enough to take some cuttings from it. Now I have 3 more smaller Eastern Red Cedars to experiment with and my big one has a nice bend in the trunk from the wiring I did to it. With my clones I will do more bending to get different movements in the trunks.

Do you bring those in for the winter?

Love the Jade! I love how forgiving they are

Love to see cuttings succeed And the big guy has a great looking trunk I put my ficus in a large planter for a single season and saw explosive growth

Nice! What year do you wire and trim for shaping?

the new leaves are too much curling , a sign for too dry soil

Nice progress on these little fellas. I’m diggin it, Greg

Semoga jeruknya manis😊

Does it flower if not how long it would take to flower

The discoloration is caused by a nutrient deficiency. It looks like Mg deficiency ... The roots are in great condition.

Nice video Growing a kishu tree In NJ and getting fruit this year

Most citrus does 😢 thorns .

Only talks.No outputs 😂😂

All looking good

I have 9 cuttings from my lemon tree right now. 3 of them in water, 3 of them in soil, and 3 of them in soil, perlite, and mulch mix. The ones in water look the healthiest. Even with grown hormone applied to the ones placed in soil, still do not look as good as the ones in the water (all cut at the same time). Any advice on how you keep your cuttings after you cut them?

Any progress on this?

I do have one but it doesn’t have any branches yet . It does have leaves that look like hand with with five fingers.

I'm just starting the same project.

Curious. What type of mix did you use? Looks barky, which is good. Custom blend?

It's looking really good! I have a couple that I haven't done much with that are 3 or 4 years old and about the size yours is. You must have the lemon touch! 🍋🌳

Is it a “Meyer” lemon? What kind is it? I enjoy watching ur plants grow and progress, keep up the good work

thats not a qld bottle tree..

"woodening up" is called lignifying.

my lemon from seed is 8/9 years old now. got a really great root base and starting on the secondary branches. been in the hobby 9/10 years so its one of my oldest trees from seed. i dont use any extra light over winter for my lemon. it lives in a sunny window untill spring. lemon is a great species for starting out. im slowly moving on to cold hardy species. just pruned a japanese holly and a thuga green giant. happy bonsai'ing greg!

When u had the lemon under grow lights, what was ur light cycle? Was it in a greenhouse or in ur house house? I’m in western Washington state, zone 8b, and have a few younger lemon trees I’m growing for bonsai purposes. They are happy n healthy so far. Last two winters I left em outside except when temps dropped below 40, I put em in my unheated shed. I have also always done the exact same for my pomegranates, which I think are semi deciduous if exposed to “cold” temps. I know that lemons “can be” indoor plants and potentially grow yr round. Did ur lemon trees put on any growth under the lights and were they there the whole winter? Sorry for such a looonnggg comment/question but I’m curious if I should get grow lights for the winters…….. my 3 lemon trees (one 25yrs old and two 3-5yr olds). The 25yr old is established and “used” to my care practices. It was my mom’s and that’s how she grew it for 20+ yrs so I kept the same tactics. I’m wondering though if my younger ones might benefit from no dormant period and grow “yr round” with lights………..? IDK? Anyways……… keep up the good work! I appreciate ur channel very much. Have a great rest of ur spring wherever u are!

Any update on this tree? Looks like it’s putting out a lot of growth. Trying something similar with a cedar

I have a sycamore that volunteered in a pot of red maple volunteers because of course it did. They all have their own pots now while I learn more about growing small trees. I’m just down the road in MD.

Hi Greg, I'm a beginner with bonsai, and have more questions than suggestions, but I wonder since the Oriental Bittersweet is naturally a twining vine, would it be more useful to cut it very short to encourage thickness rather than more tall thin vines? My own thought would be to wire it to shape it now into S shapes and twisty winding two or three shorter "trunks" and encourage thickness and less upward growth for a longer time. I don't know if that would even work, but I've seen huge thick vines of it in the woods here in northeastern CT that have been around for 30-50 years or more, climbing trees of 60-90 feet, wrapped around them. I'm looking forward to seeing how yours grow!

What would your opinion be about letting an Oriental bittersweet grow over an arch but keep it pruned back constantly to just cover the arch and hopefully not go out into the yard?

nice find greg.. i just pulled up a 3/4 year old silver maple that was chopped back hard every year from under a big old azalea. you just can not beat free practice material. happy bonsai'ing

Waiting for lemon update ⏳

We call it lilly pilly in south africa i have one half this size was growing under the mother plant dug it up and put in pot

GET RID OF IT i’m not even LYING oriental bitter sweet kill trees, and bonsai

Thanks for sharing. I too enjoy planting seeds! Fruiting and flowering plants are some of my favorites. Japanese maples are my favorite overall. I have a few young lemon trees and two crabapple trees also. Plants waking up for spring is magical!! Take care and have a blessed day

I bet it does!!!

I just got a red maple tree to bonsai…

Hi is the green stuff on top of soil a good thing?
