A little late on the go, but here's the update of the Honeysuckle we collected 2017. This Lonicera maackii is extremely vigorous and can easily handle the extreme pruning I perform. Only work on healthy plants, and even then, only as much as they can take. This one's a workhorse! I hope you enjoy!
Soil Mix: Sifted 2-6 mm
3x Turface MVP
3x Pine Bark
2x Diatomaceous Earth
1x Coarse Mason's sand
Video: GoPro Hero 4 & iPhone 7
Audio: Default GoPro, ZOOM F1, and Blue Yeti

Again, another really nice Video!!! Could watch your work and style the whole day:))) You have a nice, clean way to work with your material and i think this is what bonsai is all about. The Process, to think about the future result without stress and the way how we take care of every species we have, is what this great Hobby makes it so loveable. Good Artwork; Dude cheers Gabriel

Great to see someone working on a lonicer! I've got a 20+ year old Japanese Honeysuckle that has been living a neglected life pot bound for many years. Since repotting and heavily pruning, it grows gangbusters. There is no slowing it down! They get nice twisty gnarly looking trunks. Thanks for the video, very informative and now I dont feel so bad about cutting back so hard.

I have been doing bonsai for almost 28 years and I picked up an idea from you which I think is marvelous. The air tubing to protect the truck and roots. Wonderful idea and thoroughly enjoyed your video.

I don't even remember where I picked it up. It may have been a bonsai club member. I'm really excited that the knowledge can be shared like this! Cheers, my friend!

Good to find some honey suckle videos! They’re really everywhere here in Arkansas. I keep having to pull them off the fences and pines. Just thought of keeping two for bonsai this past summer. Hope this tree continues to look good and improve. Love the carving job!

Great job! I have a honeysuckle that was, originally, planted in the first part of 1900 to shield a poultry yard area. I rescued it around 1985. Doing the math says that the plant is older than 115 years and I have been maintaining it for 35 years. It is still growing beautifully and blooming every season. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.

It is always great to see someone with a passion for whatever they do. I had a bonsai given to me many years ago , a maple and I had to give it it away when I left the country. Unfortunately it died in my absence. I think late winter I will be out in GA looking for a candidate I can do myself. Your knowledge will be indispensable. Thank you for adding something to the world that is good. Just subscribed can’t wait for more Shane

nice one. I am not familiar with this species but your explanation was very good and one can tell that you clearly know what to do with it. I like to keep my trees away from sunlight for 2-3 weeks after repotting (not just 2 days) it may be that this tree is so hardy that doesn't need protection. I liked the use of the large power tool to bulk carve I will take that idea onboard for the future.
