I liked your video! I have a hearty hibiscus that I have had in training for about six months. I look forward to your continuation of the series on your hardy hibiscus.
Lovely development - and those flowers - WOW!!!! The dead wood on these trees deteriorates very fast - also holds a lot of moisture close to the trunk. You may want to consider removing what you can when the leaves drop to prevent rot. Marvelous recovery this year!
@@GrowingBonsai The wounds will heal up quite nicely. For me, however, large pieces of dead wood exposed to winter rains seems to get spongey after a year - seems to encourage diseases that can kill the main branches or trunks. Though cold tolerant, these trees don't like cold soggy roots. Protecting them under an eave seems to solve everything.
I have a Rose of Sharon tree/shrub that has never had any training and now should be cut down. I am glad to find out it has Bonsai potential. I'll have to take a closer look and see if there is a good section or sections that could be air layered next spring.
Bought it from a box store a year and a half ago. It was called “Hardy Hibiscus” lol. I gave it a first bonsai cut last fall. A second one late spring. It’s looking pretty good now.
will be really interested on how you will approach the carving on this tree. I also rescued a deciduous hibiscus and find the wood is really soft. It has been three years since I dug it up. In summer it is great cause the leaves and flowers. But in winter I cannot make mind up what to do with deadwood on it.
my rose of sharon and my tropical hibiscis drops flowers if it gets watered too much.. but they are in crappie soil for now under the development stage
Impressive hibiscus. Really good trunk on her.
Thx! a follow-up is in the making, hopefully a fall release!

Yep, what he said! Thanks Jelle 🙏✝️
Aha!, rumbled I think Xav! Thanx for the 👍

A bonsai with a thick trunk is always an eyeball catcher. Great work!!!
You got that right!

Is it your experience that the trunk just keeps rotting? Normally a tree shields areas that are still alive.

I have a lot of these trees that I'm working with
Any tips?
Hi Jelle, nice video ! i was considering the idea of getting one , well your result has definitely decided me.
Cheers !
Glad I could help!
Purple flowers! I have tropical hibiscus. Some with leaves the same shape as fig leaves. I didn't realize there was a temperate hibiscus too!!
:) Great isn't it? I have several tropical ones too, but not grown as bonsai.
I am seeing n looking from a far wiring hibiscus Bonsai.
I hope the future grows well.
Good job Sir.
So nice of you; I think it will!
Nice!!
Thank you! Cheers!

Keep in mind these really seem to dislike big prunes. They resprout but do not really grow over the cut wounds.

THinking still about letting it fall apart naturally.
Does Prunning & Wiring is Recomended in Summer?
Cheers Thanks For Sharing Mate.
Keep it Up! 🙌 😉
I think spring is better than summer. I will wire now in fall again, if I get around to gdoing it.
Hey Jelle, dat is een mooie boom. Zou je ook een keer een tour willen doen van al je bonsai ?
Nah, dat is een beetje saai
There's tons of variety of Hibiscus. I have the common red Hibiscus and the Spider Hibiscus (Hibiscus schizopetalus)
yup
my rose of sharon and my tropical hibiscis drops flowers if it gets watered too much.. but they are in crappie soil for now under the development stage
