A very special tree Adam, i look forward to watching you grow it, you have such a great style and obviously passionate about bonsai. The way you explain things as you go will help sooo many people learn the art. Top job Adam🤙
Hi, i have been raising a lot of apple trees from seed. They are already a year old. I live in the tropics. Recently, I have found out that the roots are already root bound. When can I safely prune the roots? Can i prune the roots safely if the weather is hot, i mean its always hot in the tropics and we only have two seasons, the dry and wet seasons. Also, should i prune the top portion the same time when I prune the roots? Also, should I place them under the shade after pruning the roots and how long should i place them there? Hope you could give me some advice on what to do. Thank you very much in advance.
Wow. I really admire your enthusiasm and drive in every bonsai video you have, old and recent. I look forward to seeing this apple Tree bonsai bloom into a gorgeous bonsai in your future videos.
Good point! That is one option and a good way to thicken trees at the base. I have found that sacrificial branches tend to work faster when a tree is potted into the ground. In such a small pot like this would take a very long time so it isn't worth keeping them right now. Plenty will grow back! Apples grow suckers all throughout summer. My plan with this tree is to air layer the top off it and work with the smaller material that way 😀
Crazy apple man!! You know about cutting out the “boring work” you can always time laps it as well I’ve seen guys do that, and I love that you put this in a basket it definitely needed it!! Never underestimate the power of the basket!!
Love the video adam I also have an apple tree that my granddaughter planted 7 years ago and for the past 3 years I have started training it in becoming a future bonsai.. Love your videos keep them coming..
@Notion Bonsai it's about 10 inches plenty of branches and a trunk about 1 and a quarter Ince think I have done a major cut back to hopefully increase more branches
Love this video ! You are so brave to tackle this tree the way you did! You must be so confident in what you’re doing. I’m so impressed with how the tree coped and recovered. You really are very gifted and inspiring
when it was growing in granny`s yard for the last 50yrs, i doubt she planted it in acadama, why would you feel it necessary to change the soil type now?
Hey! When it comes to Bonsai or any potted plants, the right soil type is crucial for the plant's health and growth. The soil that the plant was growing in before may have been good enough, but it's possible that the nutrients have been depleted over time. Repotting the tree in a mix of pumice, akadama, and lava rock provides a well-draining soil that allows for better oxygen flow to the roots and the absorption of nutrients. This will help ensure that the apple tree continues to thrive and grow well in its new environment. Thank you for watching the video, and I hope this explanation clarifies why it's necessary to change the soil type when repotting bonsai or potted plants. 😄
@@notionbonsai ok thanks for responding but it still leaves me a bit puzzled, i`m sure i will work it all out eventually after doing some experiments of my own.

Thanks very much Nigel! 😀 I hope you are keeping well!

This is one of my favourite trees (even though it doesn't look very good at the moment) I may air layer a section off the top in the future!

Hey thanks a lot Ron! It's looking very pretty at the moment since it's Autumn. I'll post how it looks this time of year on my Instagram!
Does it grow apples?
What type of compost do you use?
Kim🇨🇦
Hey! At the moment I use a litte amount of all purpose compost. (There will be a video on soil type coming soon!)
Why cut off the budds at the bottom, dont you want sacrafices or branches to thicken/ add taper ?

You treated this tree so tenderly. Indeed a special tree.
I'm hoping to air layer the top of this tree next year! Here's hoping it goes well! 😊
Crazy apple man!! You know about cutting out the “boring work” you can always time laps it as well I’ve seen guys do that, and I love that you put this in a basket it definitely needed it!! Never underestimate the power of the basket!!
I'll definitely be timelapsing more in future videos! The Basket really gives the tree a lot of roots in a short space of time!
I like you... nice work!! ;-)
Thank you Lili 😄
Your enthusiasm and expertise are inspiring. I look forward to enjoying and learning from future videos. Very best regards. Colin
Thank you Colin 😊
Looking forward to the follow-up video. I have an older tree and wanted to Bonsai it... I might just try it🤔
I have a few pictures on my instagram of it in Autumn 😄 There will definitely be a video on it next year!
Update video
Theres one out 😁
Love the video adam I also have an apple tree that my granddaughter planted 7 years ago and for the past 3 years I have started training it in becoming a future bonsai..

Thanks Michael. Oh nice! I have a little one like that I planted from a seed (may be a future video) How tall is your one now?

@@natrjack965 Awesome!

Thank you for your kind words 😄 Apple trees can take a good bit of pruning in spring before the buds open. More videos on the way!
Thanks, subscribed, notify all.
Thanks! Welcome to the channel 😀
@@notionbonsai Excellent teachers are difficult to find. You explain very well. Arigato, Sensei.

Is there an update on the apple tree?
Hi Susan! There will be an update this spring/summer 😉
Awsome video that brother 👍
Hey Aron thanks! There's lots more videos to come 😄
