I like a lot more this videos that teaches how to make bonsais from the start like the clump stile one than a large impressive yamadori styling that I hardly ever gonna put my hands on, I think that those will discourage newcomers to the hobby but this video teaching basics in an easy-to-digest format are the absolute best, specially to understand the foundations.
You are so amazing thank you for sharing and making us better and evolve, five minutes would have been a decade with traditional teaching, I wish I could hug you, much love
Hi Bjorn, thank you for making this extreme novice video. A lot of us have trees nowhere near your normal specimens, so its such a pleasure seeing how you start these off on their journey! Thanks bro!
Amazing video, Bjorn. Thank you very much. The most intimidating thing about bonsai for those of us who are "noobs" is how to take that first step going from raw material to bonsai. I'd love to see more videos like this with other species which may be readily available at local nurseries and even big-box stores. Keep up the great work. ありがとう!
I’ve been watching you since you started UA-cam videos . Each new episode brings new inspiration. Thank you. Difficult to bonsai in Arizona. I’m using desert adapted plants now after loosing 15 trees this last summer. Will keep at it. Thank you again.
my favorite would be pomegranate, get yourself one for like 2 bucks and literally get a 100-200 trees. in about 3-4 years or so you already have very nice material to work on :)
New to your videos - thank you, and by the way. Excellent, concise, clearly spoken, and easy to follow. Do you do any follow-up ones that show the same trees you did the initial work on later when they have grown, perhaps a year or two later? I think many would find that interesting to see where the work being done shows later.
Firstly - that Suiseki looks amazing! Secondly - Your Pyracantha seems quite soft and approachable. All the Pyracantha's I've ever met have been spikey , full of bad-attitude and always bite back. Is this a particular cultivar? Finally - Holy CRAP! That Gardenia got really cut back! Any recommendations for a Gardenia cultivar? Superb video yet again. I learn so much from your Bonsai-U vids.
Thanks a lot for this video. Would love to see more of this series with other ordinary inexpensive nursery material that isn't bonsai starter trees. Simple quick explanations of branch selection on smaller trees like this makes approaching less intimidating. Would love to see an episode of this with a mugo pine! thanks again! :)
You were talking to me! ;-) As a newbie, it’s easy to get sucked in by the purest out there with their “because that’s the way we always do it” attitude. But this video is filled with many “oh that makes sense” and “I can do that” moments! I enjoyed it so much, I am feeling compelled to help fund the cause! $$$... Don’t tell the wife!
As others have said seeing you style a bonsai from the beginning like this is in my opinion much better for newbies that watching you style a fully fledged bonsai
At last a vedeo for the novice . The hacks were great. Hope the poting part also follows for these plants as I find the root pruning part tricky . I developed two pyrantha plants by cutting easily during rainy season . Trainded them for four years till the trunk was thick enough but they never recovered the shock once they were shifted into bonsai pot after removing one third root.
I would like to see how these trees progress in the future. I never really thought about gardina. Might have to purchase me one of these. We have small ones in our garden center.
Muchas gracias. Que bueno que incluyas este tipo de trabajos con material joven para los que no tenemos posibilidades de trabajar árboles viejos... gracias y un abrazo desde Honduras C.A.
I just sent my daughter a 5 year old elm bonsai for her birthday, then I came across your channel. I'm going to sign us up for online lessons so we can learn together. I'm mesmerized!
Can You explain the growing season in terms of which months. I sure it may be obvious when the plant is growing but I hear the term all the time . But never in terms of exact months for individual times for report, hard cuts , styling and maintenance pruning or when to just let grow. I'm really a beginner to any plant or tree growth.. thanks for this video sir
Well being from Philadelphia it's hard to care for certain trees. I have a Ficus and a Jade w/ 2 Chinese elms. which I can just bring them in the house come winter. But I want to try my hand at some Pines and Junipers. But my main problem is housing during the winter. Can you give my some advice on how I should keep the plants during the winter season, which can be pretty cold in winter. Space is limited, I have a yard but I don't know if I should just put it in the ground or buy a greenhouse . I'm lost at this point. Can you help me or point me in the right direction thanks.
Evergreen conifers like junipers and pines have to be kept outside over the winter anyway, so you could try building a cold frame to store them in. The main thing you want to try to do is protect trees from intense winds and freeze/thaw cycles, so giving them some insulation is a good idea.
I live in northeast Illinois, zone 5. In mid to late November I set up a mulch bed with four 2x8 boards on the ground in a shady location. I put my trees in it and cover the pots with pine bark mulch. Conifer foliage must stay out of the mulch. When all the trees are in I water the mulch so it freezes. Keeps rodents out. The trees stay there until the mulch thaws in April Been doing this almost 40 years and it works for me.
Just stumbled across your channel , wow , the most informative so far for a beginner like me ! Not only saying what you’re going to do, but why you’re doing it and how! I can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos . Have you any on Portulacaria Arfa? I’ve had 2 gifted to me from a garden centre and they’re not in great shape !
Thank you for this guidance and details on turning something young/small into a beautiful bonsai. More like it on other tree/bush varieties would be great. Well explained and demonstrated. 👍👍. Thanks.
Is it okay to just trunk chop even if there isn’t a low branch to start over , while Keeping the base of the trunk and roots which are ideal size, allowing the rest to catch up and develop?
Great video. So refreshing and inspiring to see real basic beginnings of creating a bonsai. You have given me so much confidence with this video. Your relaxed manner and explanation of why you do things, brilliant.
Thanks for this beautiful tutorial. It's the first video I watched so far, among so many on other channels, that explains what I need and want to know. Professionally done! I would love to learn all the basics because I want to make a bonsai apple tree. The tree is now a month old 😁😁😁 I know I am quite ambitious, but I want to learn how to start with such young tree, what vase, soil, fertilizer, care anti-parasite and anti-disease to adopt. Thanks again! I d love to cheap in to support your work. PLMK 💗💗💗💗
Last time i watched your videos you were talking about going back to the states and starting your own business. You seem to do great. Your videos at least have probably the highest quality standard I can imagine. Greetings from Germany.
Fantastic episode! I really appreciate that the logic is straight-forward. And none of these trees seemed out of the ordinary in terms of being nursery stock!
The only species that has ever died under my care (multiple times/years now) is satsuki & kurume azaleas. I am in a very dry and hot SoCal 10b (sometimes single-teens digit % humidity). I heard this is the main problem with azaleas in SoCal, dry and heat (also, the 7-7.5 alkaline city water doesn’t help neither). I’ve also heard they are super sensitive and just go downhill once sick. So, I give up on azaleas now and won’t buy anymore. But, the question is, are camellias more hardy in general than azaleas in dry climate and zone 10b? Or, are azaleas and camellias similar?
Less Talk, More Delicious they are for some reasons very similar and for others very different. Both of them are acid-lovers plants, they prefer the shadow especially camellia’s in winter and both love to drink small portions of water but often. Camellia loves to eat, especially japonica, the sasanqua’s are a little bit different. I think you can get more successful with camellias than with azaleas (no chance with satsuki for sure, maybe you can try with japonica or indica). Hope I’ve been of help!
@@giorgiaderisi Thanks for the info! Yeah, I heard azalea indicas are heat tolerant and suitable for SoCal 10b. I'm just so traumatized from constant azalea deaths now, that I'm hesitant to even wanna try indicas, haha. Nice! I may try camellias then! (and azalea indicas)
I love you video 👍🏽 and I happy I can buy your pre-bonsai now. I saw you had pomegranate can you do video how to do bonsai and how to take care of it pls.thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for that wonderful video. Gives me hope to make my own bonsai next spring. Can you tell me the kind of gardenia that is? Here in Canada I only seen gardenia with much larger waxy leaf. Thanks and as always great video.
Exemplary beginner nursery stock video. Your videos consistently answer questions before the viewer has the chance to ask. Concise and simplified, the delivery and technique provide excellent guidance.
Do the double flowering gardenias produce fruit like the single flowering ones in Japan at all? Are your gardenia and camellia varieties winter safe in Bloomington Indiana?
Do you think you could discuss weeping style trees as bonsai? I have been wanting to make a weeping willow bonsai and there is very little on UA-cam about weeping trees.
Love your videos! Great information clearly and concisely presented. You could make money making videos on HOW to Make Videos...too many ramble on about nothing. When I was a kid, many years ago, there was a nursery not too far from my house that I would go to when I went on a candy run :) that had a Bonsai patio. I used to LOVE meandering through it and looking at all the beautiful bonsais. It was like stepping into dozens of little worlds. Thanks to you and your educational videos I am, for the first time, going to try my hand at creating my own bonsai. I have a curly willow branch in water, a cottonwood, one that I don't know what it is and a regular willow. I also want to try a wisteria and now a gardenia...oh and a multiple trunk like you showed in another video. So I'm going to have to live at least 20 more years...lol.
I know it was correct, but the skip to the final cut of the gardenia made me laugh out loud. I could hear my grandma saying "lordy what did you do". She loved gardenias. As always amazing video.
Awesome video! Just found your channel and it makes me want to try my hand at starting my own bonsai. I was wondering if you have anything like a "where are they now" type video of any of the bonsai that you've handled from videos prior? Showing off the growth and branch manipulation. Love the channel and keep up the great work!
I've been using grow bags of all different kinds of brands and sizes (smart pots, root pouch, vivo etc..) going on about 5 years now with good results. You should experiment with them. (I'm a little bit east of you and they hold up surprisingly well to the sun and our freeze / thaw cycles.) ^^
I purchased a Gardenia from you. There is very little information on these Gardenias. What soil mix is good for them? Should I repot her now or wait for next season?
Could you make a video of how to start a blu spruce? I just got a few seedlings that I’m starting and it’s going to be my first time. I’ve grown blue spice before but never as a bonsai

This is mesmerizing !
Really IS a University. So much insight you give.
More videos like this please!!! More approachable videos mixed in with the unreachable specimen videos show both sides of the hobby
Incredible work as always.
Excellent episode! Bravo 👏
that wire brace trick is pretty slick!
Love the intro!
great lesson i will be ordering from you this spring...keep up the great work
Thanks bro for your time and knowledge. I have taken away great value from this video as a newbie to bonsai. 👊🌱
With regards to Camelia and Gardenia, make sure they are on acidic soil and don't get tap water. I've killed 3 gardenia's so far.
my favorite would be pomegranate, get yourself one for like 2 bucks and literally get a 100-200 trees. in about 3-4 years or so you already have very nice material to work on :)
What a great video! Could you do more videos for beginners developing nursery material? This is exactly the content I was looking for!
New to your videos - thank you, and by the way. Excellent, concise, clearly spoken, and easy to follow. Do you do any follow-up ones that show the same trees you did the initial work on later when they have grown, perhaps a year or two later?

Any chance you make a video shirtless?
Firstly - that Suiseki looks amazing!

Hi I like your videos but something wrong with your website I go to it I get a wronging that it is not safe.
it's so nice to see bonsai pros at other stuff than masterpieces! :)
What type of gardenia is this in the video? Thanks so much for all the info.
Hello! Are there any updates on these trees I wonder?
Fantastic episode! I really appreciate that the logic is straight-forward. And none of these trees seemed out of the ordinary in terms of being nursery stock!
