This was an great video - thank you! Ed's methods are based on mass production, like the excavator vehicle, the humus soil and the latex paint. For us mere mortals who are developing trees for our own collection, after digging out the ground (with a spade and loppers!) it might be better to use granular soil in the grow pot, which will encourage the fastest root development and therefore fastest tree growth. It's also interesting that Ed does this primarily on tridents, because of their resilience, fast healing over wounds, vigour, and adaptability, as he mentioned. But most deciduous trees can be developed in exactly the same way.
Thanks for watching. Ed is on a different scale of growing that most of us. But, I try to take those lessons and apply it to smaller home gardens with about the same success. Yes, having a tractor makes great footage and easy digging!
The problem I have with this is when your an older person who’s got several years to muck around creating a plant to shove back in the ground for a few more years and then to trim and finally get into a pot to make a bonsai , glad someone has that patience, I’d belong gone before I got to see it how I wanted it . I definitely be digging up trees ready to go 👍
The saying goes. Time is money and money is time. Bonsai trees is paying for time especially for trees that are ready to be shown or styled. I am to the point where I’m willing to pay for time spent. However, my cheapness holds me back.
@@BaikoenBonsai …lol yes I agree , I still do snip and grow , I don’t mind , I do like the process , it gives me pleasure watching the results and producing my own bonsai just I won’t be doing any shows anytime soon , the really good bonsai that take the time to be show case quality yes I’m a cheap Charlie to lol 👍
Nice Video. Always better to learn from someone who has field grown trees for many years and has learned tips and tricks from experience. Thanks Ed for saving us all those years of making mistakes.
Hi, just found your channel and this video - thanks so much for sharing this great information! I see this was filmed 2 years ago, but what time of year? is that early spring or late fall? and am i correct that you cannot be as aggressive on the branches and roots with something evergreen, like a juniper or pine?
Excellent video guys! Really useful and informative. I've started my ground growing journey this year and planted most of the trees through or on top of tiles. Looking forward to the 5 year wait haha.
@@BaikoenBonsai ... think I might be missing something , I have heard of house paint , water based , oil based but not latex paint , so what is latex paint exactly .?
Thank you for watching. Its all about timing. Ed knows the time limit when he can dig them out. If you look carefully, the entire field of trident maples are dormant and weather is on the cooler side. Also they are trident maples! they can take some abuse.
@@BaikoenBonsai , that’s right people don’t listen or watch the whole video , he said when the leaves have fallen and up to spring when the buds are starting to push , it’s a pitty some people didn’t clean there ears out and pay attention.
Great. All you need is a front loader to get in ground-grown bonsai out of the ground. If I let a maple grow in the ground for 5-8 years and try to dig it out by hand with a shovel, I'm going to injure the roots and kill it. Way to bury the lede on this "trunk thickening technique"--not so helpful for the typical bonsai enthusiast.
Thank you for watching. The purpose of ground growing is the speed of thickening of the trunks. Yes, Ed grows them large. He does tell everybody that you have to go back every year to every two years to reduce the rootball by either cutting them in place or removing the tree to a new plot. Again he grows them extra large but this technique can be used to grow shohin trees in a very short amount of time.
Nice but hearing about burning trees makes me wonder, plant them as garden trees or give them away... stop climate change, make the world greener thanks
For Ed he is a factory so its the entire row for efficiency and for root development at the same time. If it was my own personal collection it would be grown in a growbox in the ground with a shovel under the pot each year.
This was an great video - thank you!

This is what makes bonsai so awesome - mystery, super unique and original techniques per person, etc.
Well said

Yup! learn from people that already learned from their mistakes and push the envelope even further.

This is winter time. That is correct evergreens you will need green growth and slower root reduction
Thanks!!
Thank You 🙏✌️
You're welcome 😊
Great video!
I’m glad you enjoyed
Good job friend. Super 👍
Thank you. I’m happy to hear it!

All good things get better with time.
What is the brand name of your red shears. Do you sell them. Thank you….
Pretty much any “bonsai” tool seller should have the cheap scissors.
After watching a few of your videos. I now know who Ed is :-)
Excellent!
Can you graft japanese maple on trident?
Root stock and growth habits are a bit different. Are you trying to try something unique?
nice and simple potting soil, forest humus and sand. do you know roughly what percentage of each? great video
I don't
Where is this at can I order on line ?
I think in the description should have Ed’s contact number.
If not email me and I can directly give you his contact information
nice and informative video, I would recomment pay a little bit more attention to the sound recording ;)
Thanks for watching
Latex paint!
Yes. When you are running thru that many trees it’s cheaper just using latex paint
@@BaikoenBonsai ... think I might be missing something , I have heard of house paint , water based , oil based but not latex paint , so what is latex paint exactly .?
@@fishmut latex is water based paint
Neat . Just pull every other one. Double their space .
yes and plant something else in its spot!
I dug up a deciduous tree and it died. And here is a guy who is banging the tree and tree may survive..

I’m glad your mind is full!
@@BaikoenBonsai lol... doesn't take much haha

Bergoglio? O_O
ahaha close but not the pope

Figure of speech another way to say it’s cheaper to let them die.
