Maybe give trees you plan on featuring year after year unique names or just a way for us to specifically identify them. I really enjoy your content.

      He is the owner of a commercial Bonsai nursery and this tree is just basically beginning stock for him and as he mentions in the video he has 100 of them. I don't think he will be able to reasonably name them or ever feature them again in following videos. He does have some world class specimens that I'm sure have names but it doesn't even matter as they are easily identifiable by sight.

    I did plant it over a piece of broken pottery to develop the nebari, it has a lot of finer roots on it and was started as a bonsai. The trunk has a lot of movement and I want to make sure I position the branches the best to it’s advantage.
    I need to find a bonsai group local to me.

    Hi Bjorn! Great to see you made this very educational video on one of my favourite species the Hinoki! 👏There are a lot of misunderstandings about this species as a Bonsai and how to take care of them! So good one you to help Bonsai enthusiasts understand just how to work on them! But if I may make one comment or question: would it not have been possible to cut back the top some 10/15cm higher in the earlier preparation, leaving a longish stump to make a Jin out of and then bend up one of the lower placed branches straight upward to make the top out of?! Or to have cut it off the unwanted top at an angle just above a bendable front branch that then would be bent upwards to create a more straight top out of! As it is now, this all curly top looks great from a distance but is very unlogical on an otherwise very straight upright tree! Hope you don't mind me asking/commenting?! I can recommend all beginners and artists alike to give this species a try! I have one in my care for over 25 years now and enjoy its beauty every day!
    Stay safe Bjorn and keep up your good work for the Bonsai community! 👍👏
    Cheers from Holland,
    Hans van Meer.

    Help I have a 2 Hinoki Cypress trees that I have decided to bonsia myself, wired them both. One tree is very lush and green looking like it is thriving. The other tree has started to wither. The one that is thriving I put in a very large pot. The one that isn't, was put in to a small bonsia pot. I have since last week out it in to a large pot just to give it some aid. I water both trees everyday. When it was in the small pot you could see the exposed top roots as the water would wash away the top soil. For the last two days I have decided to submerge the pot in a large bucket of water. I haven't over filled it, around 3cm below the rim of the pot. Please give any advice. Should I put moss on top of the soil bed? It's really drying out now
