Thank you Dave. I always appreciate those qualities in your own great videos so I massively appreciate you saying that 🙏

[@sueb1317]

Thanks so much Jason! I have to constantly remind myself of my goals with each tree. Your video really helps enforce that idea!

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

That’s great Sue. I try to think and have a multi-year plan for my trees - I find it helps

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Always good to get a timely reminder

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Fantastic video, Jason! Thanks so much!

My pleasure!

[@chris996ss]

Thanks for getting back to me. In your video at 2:03 seconds you are Root Pruning a tree in a Green Plastic Box/tube !… this is what I’m asking about Where you got it From ?.. would appreciate your help. Thanks

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

This is a repotting tray that I bought from B&Q, the local big box DIY store. It is intended to allow you to keep all the dirt and roots together, and has places to store your tools while working. Here is a similar product on Amazon:

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Thanks so much!

[@Donpapibonsai]

Great video thank you

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Thanks for your support 🙏

[@dannycraig6704]

Too many videos on youtube give the impression of quick bonsai. This video is refreshing because it shows the realistic time frames. 4+ years in the ground thats just the foundation. Thanks Jason nice watch

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Thank you Danny 🙏

[@joekerr5152]

Great video Jason!

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Bonsaicrazy]

Hi Jason. Great video mate 👊👊

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Cheers Andy 🙏

[@chris996ss]

Great video thanks. Can I please ask Where you got the Green repotting tube from ? Thank you

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Thanks. I’m sorry I don’t understand what you mean about green repotting tube?

[@chris996ss]

Thanks for getting back to me. In your video at 2:03 seconds you are Root Pruning a tree in a Green Plastic Box/tube !… this is what I’m asking about Where you got it From ?.. would appreciate your help. Thanks

[@TomoBishBosh]

Hi Jason, have you got any advi e when putting something like a satsuki azalea in the ground when it requires some like akadama soil? Would love to thicken my one up faster than in a pot

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

You could try that - it would definitely thicken up the tree. You need a minimum of three years. They prefer a slightly more acidic soil but should be ok in regular garden soil.

[@raymondplodzien7459]

Great content Jason!

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Thanks Ray, I always appreciate your feedback 🙏

[@rtregear]

Thanks Jason. Excellent video highlighting again the oft overlooked fact that trees are designed and don’t just happen. The design is guided by what the current owner of the tree thinks this tree should look like in N years where N may be > a lifetime.

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Thanks 🙏

[@bimmer635csi]

Neat video. Curious though, what if I use a HUGE pot for small tree. Will it grow / develop at an intermediate rate?

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Yes and no. It depends on a number of other factors such as the soil. In the ground the tree has access to organic soil and microbes which it does not have in the bonsai pot - and drainage is loss of an issue too.

[@SulamAkarBonsai]

I really enjoy watching your videos, they give a lot of inspiration. greetings from Indonesia ❤❤

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Thank you for your kind words 🙏

[@SulamAkarBonsai]

@@TheBonsaiGarden You're welcome sir, I'm waiting for the next video

[@dkstott29]

Biggest mistake is giving a beginner a pair of pruners. 😅

[@wreagin1]

@@dkstott29 bonsai experience can be measured in dead trees. Gotta start somewhere haha

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

😁 go for it!!! Be bold 😁

[@jerzinho92]

Nice video! And to get good results, use first local species. You ll never get wonderfull olive tree in UK as you can see in Spain... difference of sun and warm is amazing. In spain they ll never have nice Fagus or Mapple...

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

You make a great point 👍

[@maanjezus8622]

No mistakes, only happy accidents.

[@TheBonsaiGarden]
