Spring is an optimal time to repot bonsai forests. How do you repot a bonsai forest? Do you take apart the forest? Or keep the whole forest intact?

Why don’t you leave the roots longer on the cuttings so they can better compete with the established trees. Thanks for nice video Jelle 😊

Thank you so much. It needs another 5-10 years to mature though!

Thanks for the great repotting tips Jelle. I've been struggling on how to handle with my birch forest in the future - all your info will be a great help!!

So the action of working substrate down into the rootball is "twiggling?" We learned a new word! Thanks, Jelle!

Looks really good! Makes me want to try to make a forest. Very inspirational! I took a lot of zelkova cuttings a few weeks ago. Those could make a nice forest next year. This year I could practise with some willows for example.
