  • In this week's UA-cam pre-release, the Eisei-en team repots a massive, well-established Itoigawa Shimpaku Juniper bonsai into a new, smaller container. These repotting steps are both applicable to older yamadori, as well as younger plant material with relatively established root systems.

    I thought Im gonna hate the new pot, but it actually looks more balance with the weight of the foliage leaning to the left and the pot fuller on the right. hope we can see you cleaning that foliage soon.

    When the tree was imported I potted it right out of the box,and all trees I pot from photographs to match the angle.i like the new angle too,really it's a unique tree any way. Kim u ra I think this is the tree he turned upside down. Looks good Bjorn pot and all

    That pot looks so much better and the combo is way more in balance now! I do think that Mister Kimura carved a bit too much of the base, but I am sure that after thinning out the foliage when styling it will look much more balanced! Thanks for sharing it with us!🙏👍
    Cheers,
    Hans van Meer.

      I put some tape on my screen. Moved the video around, from various points, the tree barely moved.
      The plant was lower (root ball) in the old pot.
      The difference I had noticed is the smaller pot gives the illusion that the branches are further from the pot.

      You need research more about Bonsai. Bonsai is the art to keep the trees in a small pot but still look very mature, it like you try to zoom out an ancient big tree. It will have some dead woods, wide canopy compare to the trunk.
      But to have all of that in a small pot will requires some cultivation techniques and tricks. Clean up and keep the roots at small size is one in many step, it will make the tree not grow too big.
