In this Video I will talk about 10 different ways you can increase the size of your bonsai trunks.

All I can say is this has been the "BEST" video I have seen on this topic! Not only sharing priceless knowledge, but at the same time going around to show perfect examples of what they are telling us about. Would "LUV" to see more like this on other Bonsai topics. Thanks so much for sharing this awesome video. Now I am going to go get started putting some of my trees in the ground. Blessed Be To You & Yours.
@Daniela Ferreira I'm waiting till spring to start mine.
I'm just now getting into bonsai. Why don't people always start out the bonsai in the ground, on a board? So much easier to keep moist....which has worried me about getting into this. Could I keep up with watering potted bonsai..? ..don't know....but in the ground yes. And faster growth! Thoughts?

I would love to chill in that mans yard with him and just talk trees all afternoon.
Smoking some trees with the Chinese guy
Yea, but he also need to work and make money
I'd love to sit down with so many of the UA-cam gardeners/bonsai-ers/carnivorous plant growers, and all these really exotic plant fields, and exchange tried and true advice/information for labor in their greenhouse/farm/garden. There's so much to learn from so many people, and knowing that I'll likely never know everything about all or even one of these fields gives me a really euphoric feeling of unending-ness. There's always more to learn, so given that you try, you'll never stop getting smarter and better.
amen to that
You have no idea! I have entire backyard full of different future bonsai trees, and I would just love to just go and pick his brain all day. I have a million and one questions.
Dan Robinson's spot looks completely magical. The wind, the adult trees around, the way the Bonsai are all arranged, the lake view. Wow.
I was thinking exactly the same! Reminds me of my grandfathers place. He was a professional gardener Holtuculturist.
What a beautiful place to live and work
It is. I've been there and love the atmosphere.
The water too.
Just what we all thought, including me. Such a haven and piece of heaven.
life goal- bonsai garden that backs out on to the lake
*daydream drools*
@5:52- "No, not like that, Ben.."
Hilarious!! 😂
Finally someone who is not afraid and selfish to share the knowledge.
I have my entire backyard full of different, future bonsai trees and I've been trying to find as much info on them as I can. Definitely gonna subscribe.
Another great thing about ground growing pre bonsai material is that those trees are less maintenance than ones in pots. Nature and the elements tend to take care of the tree’s growth pattern and shape. I have a few trees that are planted at the edge of a retaining wall in my back yard. I’m applying the retaining wall to simulate a cliff side on a mountain top. I have placed rocks at the bases of some of the trees so that wind or the weight of heavy snow have leverage to contort the trunks. One of which is a limber pine which is partly in the shade, and it has contorted so it’s foliage can reach the light. There is a yew I got from a closing nursery which has started cascading down the retaining wall in many places. With potted trees, you have to often protect them from the cold wind so the roots don’t dry out. Easy solution would be to bury the tree still in the nursery pot for the winter. If you still really want it in the pot.
It's not possible tho in colder climates like NE America. No greenhouse...?
@@judithmaybee733 I live in MD, so the roots will be fine as long as they are not exposed to the wind and dry air. I would only use a greenhouse if the trees were in grow boxes or pots. However I have a couple large collected boxwoods out front in those half barrel planters, and I just put dead leaves over the bonsai substrate, and the bushes have come back the last couple years. The planters are sitting on the ground in my plant bed.
Wow, the knowledge density here is off the charts! Subbed.
You are exactly what I’ve been searching UA-cam for. Thank you for sharing your expertise and time!
I love bonsai. Those thick trunks are beautiful.
This is the most helpful video I’ve seen in a while. I had trees in small pots and never grew. I just planted a bunch in the ground.
Your interview with Dan Robinson was amazingly informative....Starting plants in the ground is definitely an advantage!!!
Thanks for passing on the knowledge, what a beautiful garden you visited. Thank you!
It’s his
Great video, packed full of tips and a nice chill vibe 👏 congratulations Ben ✌️
Thank you Ben for your advice I live in UK 🇬🇧 and I have been keep bonsai for several years now thanks to you and others on UA-cam I am slowly learning how to do things correctly...
Wow, what an exceptional video. Not only was it very informative but it shows your passion for the art of bonsai. It’s rare you get so much information coupled with passion for the art. Many thanks
Very informative and fun to watch. Thanks for the info. Just started growing bonsai tree's from a seed kit I found on sale. They have grown nicely over the past 4 months or so. So much to learn ...it's a science and art combined with plenty of patience...well worth it!
Now I'm a bonsai junky. the only regret I have is not starting many years ago
this is a really extensive, knowledgable and useful synopsis of the subject and your well-spoken presentation makes it even more enjoyable
I had to comment again. I learned new things in your list of trunk thickening tips. Then, the field trip with Dan Robinson at the end??? What great knowledge! I got chills when he was leading us to the trees he grew in-ground! Exciting and informative. Great video.
This is clearly a video to study carefully.
Very complete video of thickening up trunks, thanks a lot!
Thank you so much fo the video, gardening is a hobby that I adore, I also raise lithops and other plants in the mesembs family. I am very new to Bonsai, I only have one small tree so far. Lithops and Bonsai are complete opposites as far as care goes. So I am constantly searching for new info. I chose bonsai not because I love to garden but because it is a test of patience and loyalty and teaches consistency. It brings someone a sense of fulfillment. I think the art of bonsai is beautiful and hopefully I can learn something about myself along the way. And hopefully I can keep my trees happy and healthy for a very, very long time.
Superb video Ben, really enjoyed it! Tip 7 is a simple one if you want that gnarled look at the trunk base. Tip 9 - silica - is completely new to me. I will investigate. Thanks!!
Great video. Great info. Understandable. The amount of info you provided in such a short time is really impressive.
That was awesome and just what I needed!
I've been wondering so much and this answered questions that didn't even deal with trunk size.
I have a jabuticaba that needs to come inside for winter, so I need to learn everything bonsai to keep it alive. These tips are really helpful. Especially #10 Grow your tree in the ground before you bonsai it. Thank you.
Fellow Bonsai'er from Seattle! You have a beautiful garden, sir!
Great info, really appreciate you shearing your knowledge..
Wow thank you so much..
I’m new to Bonsai and this was so valuable...
so that is how its done! i was just thinking of doing this just to see what would happen and if my trees would survive better over the long freezing winters, thank you for the tips
Great information on trunk thickening. I'm all ready a believer in growing in ground and after this video I think a lot more people will be doing it to

See this unigue tree
Splendid video and splendid teaching. With gratitude.
Thank you so much for sharing your dads knowledge!
Great tips! Especially the one on adding silica. I like agsil 16 as a foliar to add silica and prevent fungal issues. Basically using it as a ph up substitute for baking soda.
Best video ever, Thank you for so much information and so easily explained, has made my day, love gardening and learned so much from this video, Big Thank You,
That guy Dan has some amazing plants! WOW
Thank you so much. That just confirmed I’m on the right track. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Fantastic video, Ben!

Priceless information with the guy at the end. Thank you for sharing and got my sub 👊🌳
Great information! Thank you for sharing so many ways! I have to update some of my techniques! :)
I'm so glad that I found your channel. This video was great! I just put my Psudobombax Elipictum in the ground after 3 years in a pot. I hope that I can train it to be a fabulous tree ♥
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
The only channel I've watched that correctly pronounces "bonsai".
Very interesting, l love your work, being a Nursery man, l have a small Nursery and maintain a few bonsai plants myself, l love it, very inspiring, bsafe,
Thx for your clear and useful explanations. Ciao. Lori from Italy
Loved this video. The music in the beginning reminded me of Strobe and that was a blast from the past..
If you want to thicken trunks fast hang weights on the branches near the trunk. It adds stress weight and it bulks up to deal with it rather then wait for all the new growth to do the same thing😉
What would be a "weight"?
I think this video quite answering my question. Tq so much👍👍👍
Fantastic video, thank you!
Very well explained.. Thank you for sharing.
This video was excellent! Job well done👍🏻. Thanks for sharing! Amazing trees!!

Great video. Thank you
So impressive
Very informative! Thanks!
I'm trying some of these methods with my 12 foot tall Japanese Maple. I have done 2 air layerings and now waiting for roots to start forming. I used PressNSeal because it sticks to itself and I can form a bubble with the sphagnum moss and pinch the ends. I also cut a piece of the spiraled protective plastic on the lower part of the trunk to use it for air layering - that's an experiment. I already have 3 new Benj Ficus cuttings from air layering and they are doing GREAT. Also trying air layering for several different colored Bougainvilleas, but it's too early to tell if they are taking or not.
