Hi very interesting video as others! What's the final dimension you wanna archive with smaller plant? That same as larger one you show? Thank you for sharing!
Hi - no. For the larger example I used a much taller and slightly wider tube of soil. The size (height and diameter) of the auxiliary container basically dictates the size of your "trunk" in the composition. So with the one gallon container as the size this will likely be more like a shohin (8", 20cm) size.
can you say a bit more about the soil? what's the reason for not using the usual perlite/coco mix that you recommend for early development? i believe i see some lava in there, right? is it just about the particle size?
I've used pumice, lava, bark, perlite individually or mixed. If the majority of the particles are larger (e.g. 1/2" or bigger) then using a bit of fine soil as top dressing will help keep it from drying out while the roots run downward.
good stuff thanks! I have 100 JBP seedlings going and for sure will experiment this on a bunch of them...thank you
Another great tecnique you show us. Thanks a lot for your time and knowledge.
thanks for sharing
Thank you very much
Yeah it went well alright 😮😍😍😍
Super beautiful bonsai
Great trees hey
Cool! Excited to start one!! How old / years in development fit the large example you showed? Thanks! Ron ☀️😎👍🏻
Hi Ron, the cascade exposed root was started in 2006. So as of this comment 15 3/4 years old.
Amazing work! Can you do that to other species like maples and junipers?
Maples - yes. Junipers yes but it's very very slow to accomplish.

Very interesting. Thank you. Do you know if Scots Pine could be used for this technique?
I haven't tried it, but there should be little difference. I have done the same thing with Italian Stone pine.
@@Bonsaify Thanks. Have a nice Christmas.

If I may ask ... for how long did you develop your tree, 15 yr old one, in the bigger container before exposing the roots?
3-4 years. You can see more older photos of it on BonsaiNut:

@@Bonsaifythank you very much.
What would compose of the course mix?

👍👌🙂
Does this work for satsuki azaleas too?
I think it would, but I have never tried it. They definitely make exposed root satsuki in Japan.
