This is turning into quite the impressive little forest.
Thanks so much! Yes, the client is very happy and I think with time it will only get better,
Amazing how much vigor this species has!!! Nice work Terry and happy holidays!!!
Thank you Nigel! Yes they are vigorous growers for sure. Thanks so much for the wishes and hope you and those close to you have a blessed Christmas.
great video!
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much Terry for taking the time to produce these wonderful videos and sharing our common passion. It's always a great pleasure to follow your work :)
@yacineaberkane1009 thank you so much! You get it. I appreciate that. I am glad my love for bonsai is projected through my videos and people like you feel that.
Brilliant as always Terry, amazing growth in such a short space of time!
Thanks Wesley! Yes indeed. I was amazed at how much growth it’s put on in only months.
Give props to Naka and Goshin. Great forest. Thanks and cheers from Ojai California
Thank you @OjaiBonsai. Yes I spoke about the inspiration used and the commissioning by my client to create a forest like John Naka’s Goshin in the first video. I did not mention it in this video as it seems some did not like me even mentioning this creation despite it being “brand new” in the same sentence as John’s - they thought it was such a poor rendition. 🤷♂️
It's coming along great. Bald cypress are vigorous trees. You trimmed the roots hard and potted the forest about 4 months prior to this video (I'm assuming). Many other species would do better if you let them go a year before trimming them back hard. But this forest is likely to explode with new growth. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Bill. Yes you’re 100% correct. For all other species I can think of I would not have pruned it this hard again after doing the root work I did. However after doing the work I showed in the video I have actually had to prune it again as it was going crazy. I decided not to fertilise it till autumn, after the previous pruning.
Very compliments Terry,great job!👏👏👏
Thanks so much Roberto! Merry Christmas to you and thanks for your continued commenting.
@@TerryErasmusbonsai Merry Christmas to you too and your family!
Unbelievable amount of vigour in this species. Such a fascinating composition with those flaring trunks and delicate foliage - starting to take on a beautiful haunting vibe. Best wishes to you and yours this Christmas!

..Excellent forum to constantly learn..
Glad it was helpful! Thank you.
What is the plan for the tops where they come to a point at the tops of the trunks?
Hey Mark. Customer asked for a group planting inspired by John Naka’s Goshin. So that will give you an idea of what inspired the apex. However I will need to see how the trees develop over time.
The moss mixture used here….does it grow in full sun? Ive seen moss on trees that require full sun and I’ve only seen moss grow in shade
Good question Mark. There are many different mosses. Some can grow in sun and others shade. I like to use moss from my bonsai trees as I know it can grow in those conditions.
Are this trees leyland cypress
No. They are Taxodium distichum
Why Jin the top of every tree? Is this an abstract representation of cypress gone wrong?? It’s a nice grouping of trees looked great before any work was done.
Thank you for sharing your views, albeit unnecessarily sarcastic.
