    Amazing to see a braided trunk fuse together so completely! Love the aerial roots too!

    Priceless knowledge here and Thank YOU Mr Easterbrook, for helping me improve my own garden.
    I’ve been discovering some Amazing Bonsai my Mother left me in her garden that I’ve inherited the past few seasons.
    It’s my Fortess of Solitude🙏🏽😎

    I enjoyed the seminar. It was very informative, and not just about wiring, but about branch placement and the importance of the apex. Thank you Mr. Easterbrook!

    You asked: I think this Ficus looks like a pinetree now. You made it look like a Bonsai not like a tropical Ficus tree. That's OK if this was your goal. It#s just not a style i like on a ficus. Love your videos! Keep them coming!

    First of all thanks for doing these videos and sharing your hard earned knowledge with us. If you need a video idea, I would love to learn how you make fertilizer cakes for bonsai. If I remember correctly, you mentioned making your own fertilizer cakes in one of your videos. Forgive me if I am mistaken about that. Cheers.

    I’m just not an artist. When I see you I see an artist. I can’t explain it. I just don’t know if I could shape one…

    Question: Why in Bonsai do we cut the thicker larger branches and keep the thinner branches?

    snapping the branch at 12:58 was that intentional?

      It cracked but didn't break. It will recover easily. Pretty much got away with it because I was working with a Ficus😬

    Ficus don't grow in the wild with an apex as presented here, so I think this style i wrong for Ficus, it looks artificial

    I do respect you but not everyone has time or the money to study with a bonsai expert. I spent 10 years studying with ceramics experts to come away with an MFA. It cost over 100 thousand dollars. I love bonsai because this is a budget art form. You can start for almost nothing and creat beautiful live work.

      Not sure to understand the comment here. This masterclass had been made available for free for a reason!

      @@BonsaiSociety I was replying to a portion of the video where he was talking about studying with masters “experts”. 90% of the people that love this art form don’t have the time or the money to take that path. I spent 10 years studying art in the university setting and working with some of the greatest ceramic artists in the world and it wasn’t cheap, it was very time consuming. I wish I was still doing it, it was the best time of my life being immersed in it. Right now at 61 all I do and think about bonsai, I’m consumed by it. There is such a learning curve on many levels that I would love to be able to be in a studio with a master to take it all in. I may have misunderstood when you said study with a master. I thought you were talking about going out to a school of bonsai to do an apprenticeship and not your video course.
