Great video. You're much better in front of the camera than you give yourself credit for. Good to see your videos back as they used to be.

I'm fortunate to live near a large nursery that actually has a "Last Call" section. These plants (of all types) are destined to be discarded. Nothing like picking up a 5' tall Palmated Maple that has had the top broken out and is availble for $5! The one I found had a fairly nice nebari and good sized trunk. Got it started and gifted it to a friend who was interested in starting bonsai. You've given us a great presentation, here, my friend. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Dik from Vancouver.

Right, I'm going to hit the shops to search out new material.... Mrs F may not be best pleased with yet more trees in the garden. Definitely excited to see where this is going , there may be the GroBonsai book in the end.

Love the challenge idea! I already have plenty of starter material. Don't make me confess a number. 😂 But I'm a Japanese maple lover with a lot of grafted varieties that I am going to make into bonsai anyway. They won't be show quality, but I don't mind.

Also take it slow - I just posted a Dwarf alberta spruce on my channel and it took 7ish years to get it from nursery stock to something "bonsai"

Im still new to bonsai amd the more i watch more content i understamd that to nake a bonsai you get a tree make a thick slightly twisted or scared trunck then you make it a bonsai is that how you are supposed to?
@grobonsai5 ай бұрын
The trunk is the most fundamental feature of a bonsai, it gives the tree its structure and character and also is the slowest thing to create and change. So yes I would agree with your understanding

Ok thanks you cause I bought one very young but allready bonsai and wanted to make some in my home I would have made them bonsai too earlly without researching and asking and you answering thanks
