So all that can be done in the winter, good to know, gives me a lot to do this winter (just started with bonsai, so all the knowledge I suck up, I am a sucker but don't cut me off)
I had to build a cage for my bench to keep the packrats from killing my trees. I am contemplating putting this cage over my raised bed for trees in the ground, which will deter deer also (and my roommate's horses).
@@christymartin6281 Here the rabbits will eat everything above the snow and the mice, voles and moles eat everything under the snow. Need a fine wire mesh that has also a mesh floor. Sneaky buggers... Deer and moose here too, but the horses are way down the road, I wish they were in my yard LOL
Great video and you answered my bigger question right at the end. I have a few I started in beds last 2 years so I shall lift them and have a look in March. Cheers Jelle
Great demonstration - enjoy the tips, your pruning strategies, and seeing the structure development. Do you prune your ground-planted trees yearly - or just when you lift to work on the roots?
It depends on the growth they put on, the size of wounds I find acceptable and the time I take. I do look at them at least twice a year for pruning needs.
12:57 or the horse doing unauthorised pruning! My maples and zelcova are a lot shorter than I had intended them to be at midsummer, but at least the horse is happy!!
Hi Jelle, Ik ben nog niet zo lang bezig met bonsai maar jouw filmpjes hebben enorm geholpen. Dank! Zou ik mogen vragen welke rooting hormonen jij aan zou raden en waar ik die in NL het beste kan kopen.
I have been thinking about this video for 2 weeks now and I want to start my own garden like yours. Thanks for the inspiration. I have an idea that is either brilliant or ridiculous so I thought that I would ask you for your opinion. I know that you use a slab of thin rock to keep the roots growing outwards and not downwards but what if it was a piece of window screen mesh? The downside is that roots would try to grow through it and self-girdle in the mesh and it might be difficult to remove afterwards. But this is exactly why I think that it would be beneficial because it will stop the downward roots from thickening and act as an air-pruning device creating more thinner roots. Am I crazy?
I look for trees that have or will have in a reasonable trunk soon. You can strip years off the completion of a tree if you look for the right tree. At 62 I don’t look for long term projects. I like to see my trees and bushes come yo fruition.
Each to their own way. I also enjoy the process. Next to younger material I have a fair number of more mature trees. But I think even at 75 I would still be taking cuttings.

Hy Jelle, thanks for the cool video, I have a lot of plants in my garden but I often tend to forget them
Great video! I need to fence a place to keep the critters out so I can plant in the ground!

@@FrostBiteBonsai I used 1/2" hardware cloth, there is probably a smaller size.
Thanks for an excellent video Jelle
My pleasure!
Excellent ideas, Jelle! Thank you! 🤟
Glad you like them!
Wonderful........... Really a great way to get a fat trunk in a short period of time. 👏
Just a short near-decade, and lots of lessons learne on what to avoid!
The linden tree scar looks cool
Thx. I do hope it ages well. Guess I will eventually flip it, as I have better ones in my field
Thanks, this video is very informative. I'm trying to grow the trunk on my Japanese maple, and I'll try some of these tricks.
ENjoy the process!
Nice projects.i got my first trees in the ground last year. Looking forward to this stage. Patience is practiced 😊
You can do it!
Great video thanks jelle!

My pleasure! More to come!

Glad it was helpful, even if you had to wait till the end!

Thanks for the visit
I need to get some in the ground nice video cheers 😮
Yes you do! go for it

:) Ah well, happy horse, happy rider.
Ottimo video👍
Grazie Mille
Do you need to use cut past on those big roots you trimmed? Great video on developing deciduous bonsai. Will plant my lindens and crabs out!
No need; WIhout they even are better at resprouting new roots.
What kind of clippers are you using? They are cool!

Mesh becomes a mess as you indicated. Give it a try, but .. I have had bad luck with it.
thanks for the video :)
No problem!
Also doing it now. Spring it busy time 😅
yeah.. all year busy times here!
❤❤❤❤❤
Thx!
Hey Jelle, wanneer begin jij met het verpotten van jouw bonsai?
Een jaar of 12 geleden. Ik verpot het hele jaar door bomen. De grote push begint in februari als we geen grote vorstgolf in de voorspelling hebben.
Dank u
👍👌🙂
