I was afraid these had stopped. So excited to see how things have come along!

I've really enjoyed your soil science videos, but this is the first repotting video I've seen. Thanks for posting it!

The audio came perfect!!

good video. thank you for coming back.

So glad to see/hear from you again!!

Great to see you back with these videos

This one is probably my favorite one so far you have shown. Beautiful tree! Thanks for sharing, have a blessed day.

Welcome back, nice little video 👍

Wow, them's some vigorous roots for sure. The trunk has a TON of character already!! Cheers, great vid!

So happy you continued uploading Ben...good job

Every great piece of art needs a beautiful frame. The pot you're using is perfect. Very nice.

Great to see you back Ben

The whole family watched this during our corned beef dinner. Thanks Ben. Great freaking trunnnnnkkkkkk. Cheers 😎🍺🍺

I cannot believe how far this tree has come!!! Wow. Incredible

A beautiful plant. You certainly have a good eye! Good to see another video of yours.

Good to see your still at it. East Tennessee here!!! Look forward to more videos

the sound filter work is fantastic. your voice changes a bit, but it think it's 1000x better than noise. wish everybody was able to do what you did.

Glad to see you’re back at it Ben!

Glad you’re back, might collect one of these tomorrow

Thanks for the video!!! I have been watching waiting and hoping you would still be doing these. I'm in upstate NY and just repotted my multistem Amelanchier canadensis. And now have my eye on a yamadori Paper Birch when I can find time to dig it up. Keep the videos coming I really enjoy them!

Woah! That honeysuckle is so dope. Love it.

One of the best yamadori I've seen ever

My first Bonsai channel subscription, being from Appalachia means I watch you first. NW Georgia here. Going to bonsai pepper plants. Thanks for taking time to educate us, there is a positive place in the next world for people who do that.

great vid Ben! lonicera is an amazing resilient, versatile, vigorous species! great work. love the pot too.

Love this trunk. Great progress!

Hello, greetings from SPAIN, Mallorca, an island in the Mediterranean, I really like your videos and your way of working with trees, substrates, collecting trees in the field, pruning, etc. I also appreciate the subtitles in Spanish since my English is very basic, your way of narrating the work you do is very nice and educational, thanks for the tutorial videos...a hug from Mallorca!

This plant has a spectacular strain . Beautiful! Congratulations. Gianni

I value your videos. Thanks for posting.

This is one of the prettiest bonsai trees I've ever seen. I don't know how you got such a beautiful trunk.Greetings from Poland from the city of Cracow 👋☺️👍♥️🇵🇱 (Thank you for letting me translate the subtitles to my language )

So glad to see you making another video. I hope your studies are going well. I too cultivate these. They are prone to a honeysuckle maggot that eats it's way around the cambium. I usually peel the bark that would naturally exfoliate like a silver maple bark for instance. It keeps the maggot from being able to hide and or take hold. I like the pot your tree is in btw. I wanted to add that with tree's like these the dead wood and rotted hollows are almost countercultural in that most deciduous are trained as healthy robust mature trees but your tree looks ancient and struggling to survive. Much needed in the world of bonsai! Thanks for the video!

Love your channel brother. Beautiful tree. I grew up in Bluefield, WV. Keep up the work.

I always look forward to your videos. Another good one, and nice tree

A great set of roots. I really like the look of this tree. 👍👍

“Smells good…” Totally know what you are talking about!!! Keep up the great work!

That is a beauty.

Beautiful tree. Nice film.

That's a great find. I have a thing for split trunk honeysuckle. I have gotten two. They are so cool and I can't get over the roots in mine as well. That one is amazing 👏

Bonsai update 22 nice bonsai thank you for sharing mr.

really nice tree!

I love bonsai like that. They look like and old tree that has survived everything lightning and tornadoes. Great work Cheers from Ojai California

You're a bonsai wizard Ben!

Haha I just watch a 2018 update before this. Rocky’s a big boy now. 😊

love the vid, cant wait for more :)

Thank you....🙏 😔 🙏 It is so nice to see someone working on the honney suckle. They smell so good. Thank you for showing us what it looked like then and now. 🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏 🙏 🙏

Amazing❤❤

I have a honeysuckle tree in my yard I am going to do bonsais tree it’s small like yours with thick trunk!!! Thanks for sharing! I will share my experience.

Beautiful tree I love'it

Hi a great Lonicera they can make spectacular trees, I have four large ones, the wiring technique I use a lot with the thick bar underneath, you wrap the wire around it before threading through the holes I will copy that method which makes sense, so thanks for the video, I have mine to repot later this week.

Good to watch this video. As this vine is so invasive, after almost ten years this August I have removed from my front yard. I was scared whether such big vine will recover or not. I spread rooting hormone and it is showing its growth! As we are approaching winter in North in zone 5, yesterday I placed it in my new hoophouse. Hope your work will help me start my journey in coming spring. If you have any advice!

Much appreciated!

Wow... what a nice surprise to see you, again! I have a Honey Suckle as a bonsai. The vine was planted at a poultry yard on an old farm in Houston, Texas. Got verification from an elderly gentleman who knew it was planted from a cutting back in 1901. I have been working with it since 1994. Really enjoyed this presentation and am glad to see you, again. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.

Interisting..for watching your vid..

Bravo!

Upvote for the 'Safe-T-Sorb"' I have some of that stuff now, too. But I also have, as of today, 360pounds of crushed brick. So I'm ready to collect, and repot,. Good to see you again. .

Super glad to see new videos from you. Let us know how the safe t sorb works for you. I use to use it put I found it broke down quickly, about a year or so. I think it does pretty good specially if use no more than 50% safe t sorb in your mix. My experience was I used 50 50 safe t sorb and perlite and on the surface, the perlite would get washed away, leaving mostly safe t sorb and on the top inch or so and it would break down on the surface very quickly but not nearly as bad lower in the pot where there was still perlite. I think using a mix that is safe t sorb, perlite, and bark, the safe t sorb won't break down much at all. Also adding DE to that mix or substituting perlite with DE so it doesn't wash away on the surface like perlite does, maybe the best. But who knows I think different batches of safe t sorb is better than others. I switched back to DE, bark, and a small amount of perlite, I hope it does well. Is the color the only reason you stopped using DE? It is hard to get good affordable soil mix, like pumice on the east coast. You got any pointers? If I remember correctly, I've seen you use expanded shale, or decomposed granite? Do you recommend any of these and if so, where do you get it from? Thanks and sorry for being so long winded. :)

Great job! Whatever program you used to remove the wind noises worked great! 👍

How strange. I haven't watched any of your videos lately except last night, I watched your honeysuckle video from years back....then today you upload this 👍

I am beginner I learn alote from yours video

Happy to see another update! It was my understanding that Turface *was* calcined clay -- am I wrong? are there different products with substantially different properties?

Finally a new video.

lol, at first I thought you just popped up from behind the tree. Summer fun incoming. I want to repot a tree that I just reported last spring. I used some make shift soil. I was out of my normal mix. But I’m worried about stressing the tree. But I also think it could grow better in proper soil. It grew slow all last summer. Not sure which is the lesser of 2 evils.🤷‍♂️

Nice

Bonsai indah ,

hes baaaaaaaack

Hai im from indonesia and i love youre vidios thx

nice bonsaï

When taking a cedar out of the wild do you suggest cleaning the root system out all the way and replacing with your mix or would you leave some of the old soil to try and promote growth? Love your Channel

Did you find it like this? I love the look of these hollow trunk bonsai

0:30 ¡Gracias!

It's good

Very good! Question, how do you plan on stabilizing the dead, and i presume soft wood?

epic tree bro

очень красивый пень)

I’ve been working on a honeysuckle (much inspired by yours) and I’ve missed my repot window. Leaves are already out. What should I do: late repot, or wait until next year?

👍👍👍👍👍

super arbre

Nice video , " i see a human face on your main trunk in the upper section " did you carved that?

Where at in SW Virginia? My family is from there, a little town called Saltville.

I'm from Big Stone Gap. You near there by chance?

I think i heard it ask to keep the sideburns long but you trimmed away lol

olá meu amigo, quanto tempo que não venho aqui prestigiar seu trabalho, tenho trabalhado muito e fiquei sem tempo, espero que esteja bem 👍🏻

棒

How do you keep squirrels from digging in your pots?

🇧🇷😄

Did you move again?

That's great teacher, I'm student Brazilian at English and bonsai, please the English Sad

Hi, where do you purchase diatomaceous earth?

Me: how dense is the root structure? Him: shakes a teaspoon of gravel out.
