It's time to work on my Cherry tree's roots and get it potted into a better size pot. This tree is a Romeo dwarf sour Cherry. To see previous video of this tree, click on the playlist here... • Cherry Tree Bonsai #TheBonsaiZone

I was delighted to see you start a Prunus in the fall, and the follow up root prune this spring did not disappoint! I dig the talk-through of the logic behind each root pruned. You are SO stinking consistent with your process. Thank you, good sir.

Man I love the chatoyant gleam of young cherry tree bark! It just has this sheen like a moonstone gem. Nigel, your cherry should do just fine with the root pruning if my small Kojo-no-Mai cherries are similar, but don't expect to many blossoms this spring. That and it might be a bit slow to leaf out for late spring and early summer. I'm growing my trees in Tennessee so the conditions are significantly different, but I tend to have great luck with just letting them flower in spring, swap to leafy growth for summer, and once the leaves have hardened off and left for a week or two I'll either just prune branches or prune and re-pot while kept in partial shade to recover. Good luck with your first cherry tree!

You really get to the root of the matter in this one Nigel! I've had a similar day today with some of my younger nursery stock - especially the Forsythia. What really amazes me is how you manage to turn around your video's so quickly. Just keep it coming and then I can keep on copying you :)

Nice work on the root pruning! Pretty nebari on this one too, you seem to have luck with the nursery stock 😊 Fun fact: Sámi people call March Njukčamánnu (Swan month) because swans come back from their winter migration 🦢

Inspired by your recent videos, today I inspected the root system of my 1.5 years old Royal Oak. The tap root didn’t even get close to the bottom of the pot, and yet it bent 90 degrees and started to go around in the middle of the pot! Never saw anything like that, but it has been sorted out! 💪

I have heard that when the white roots are just emerging this is the best time to repotting.
@TheBonsaiZone2 жыл бұрын
Yes, as long as they have just started to turn white, if they have already started to grow, then you are pruning off the new active root tips, this could weaken the tree. It's like letting your leaves come out and then pruning them all off.
@TheCrazyBird8442 жыл бұрын
Hi Nigel, I’ve never seen you use fertilizer for your trees, would a “root stimulator” type of fertilizer work to aid in recovery after these severe root prunings?

Nigel, do you have any galaxy false aralia videos? I picked up 2 clumps of 3 trees yesterday ($10 total) and decided to have a go at making a forest. I'd love to see you you approach them. If you haven't worked on them and take requests, add them to your list please!

Question to yourself and subscribers, i have four, three to four year old cherry fruit trees, bare roots, which i purchased this year 2022, they have budded very well even after reducing the trunk to 2 feet, i want to take the trunks ( 1.5" in diameter), down to 2, 3 and 4 inches, what is the best time of the year, and would it bud again or would you graft?
