By searching all the nurseries in my area I find theses trees that have been hanging around but a similar thing to what you do in this video. Always a very informative video.
visiting nursery by family plant lovers nurseries to find old trees no one wants to make into bonsai was my favorite pass time...too bad most nursery sells fast-moving decorative plants. Have fun with your trees.
That is encouraging! Thanks,,..I keep holding off because we won't ship any bonsai until it is right! Please send us your contact information so you will be notified! 🙂
You make a great lemonade as always! Great information, I am preparing to do a first trim on my olive trees and my older olive tree. Let you know how it turns out. Thanks
Hi Milton I am sure in your hands the three will make great looking bonsai, in the U.K. we are finding the trees leaves are turning into their autumn cloaks, we had a really bad storm last night which stripped a lot of leaves off my trees which is a shame but that is nature. In the late 70s and early 80s we had a lot if independent nurseries so you could often pick up material sometimes cast offs that they put to one side as not being sellable so I could get cheap plants to work into bonsai, not now I am afraid they are all part of large conglomerates so their stocks are the same on matter where you go, most don’t sell Junipers and pine trees now as they are not popular with their customer, not fashionable trees. BTW you are sending me a pair of your scissors as a substitute for not being able to send a tree to the U.K. as a prize winner of the draw you had some time ago, so thank you for that and I look forward to receiving them.
I lament the same...nurseries here sell mostly ornametals like flowering annuals instead of bonsai material, Please stay tune, we will announce an invention I believe will make bonsai popular Thanks for. your comments..
You think it's too late to buy a couple trees? Or is it best to get trees during May? Those are lovely! The smallest one is definitely my favorite one! xD
Here in Michigan the colors are already changing and they are predicting a cold, wet, white winter. I don't know if this will work but I'm planning on getting some Home Depot buckets and potting my trees in them with landscape fabric wrapped around the root ball and then dirt over top of that to protect them from the cold. Then I'll place them at a protected corner of the house outside. Do you think that's overkill?
That's wise…Make sure you sink the bucket into the ground so inside does not get frozen to damage the rootball..Of course cut drainage hole…why not just use nursery cans?
@@bonsaiheirloom I'm using the buckets for their thickness and I might be able to pull them up with the handle, plus and, more importantly, I didn't think about nursery buckets lol
Hello sir. I have a garden center Japanese maple I picked up as a practice tree. I air layered it about two months ago. The bottom of the cut has calloused over thoroughly but still no roots. On the other hand, I did an air layer on a peach tree about two weeks ago, and I already have roots peeking out. Is there anything I can do to encourage the maple to root? Thanks again!
@@MiltonChang-ee6rq Well, there my issue with the maple. The air layer container hasn’t been kept very moist. I’ll reset it tomorrow with some root hormone & sphagnum, then make sure it’s moist. Thank you very much.
Ah! I went whole hog...but at least 6 maple trees from HD last winter...I cut them all back and put them in a group...I picked the wrong three for this video...I actually put these three in a group after filming so that I can show that as a group again. By the way, the buds already leaf out...New growth tend to last longer into the fall.
Thanks for point out! You do pay attention to details...I tend to carefree when comes to bonsai...Habits can be blessing/curse according to enneagram. 🙂
That was awesome!!! Thank you so much for teaching us🙏🏾
Thanks! 🙂
As always, thank you for the video and I really like these updates
Please tell a friend.

buy then when you can pick leaf size...I had to throw out a coupe of trees because leaves are too big.

Roots fast if there is ample water around where you want it to root. Patience. Put more hormone on the callous and keep it moist...it will root.

I think it's too late for me to defoliate? I might be wrong but figure I'll problem see frost in 3-4weeks Richmond, Kentucky
3-4 weeks is not enough o grow substantially. Let it grow and shape it before leaf emerges.

Thanks!

Jan 24 after the 2nd cut the tree has 3 trunks. Today after the 3rd cut the tree magically has 5 trunks. How did that happen
