I love how he disliked cutting the plastic. He clearly loves nature :)

@grobonsai Ай бұрын

I love nature and truly hate wasting plastic! Thanks

That’s a big old piece!!! As you were taking the soil off I was getting Roy Neary vibes from Close Encounters, particularly as you picked it up and headed towards the house. (See the bit where he constructs Devils Tower in his front room, lobbing bricks and plants through the window) 😂👍 Great story telling. This is the kind of thing you excel at for me. 🏆

@grobonsai Ай бұрын

Thanks, I’m not familiar with close encounters I’ll have to look into it

@chrisgreyling7340 Ай бұрын

Wow, can't wait to see it in a few years, I is truly going to be a masterpiece.

@grubsnub Ай бұрын

agreed. I’ll be here in 4 years to see how happy she is.

@grobonsai Ай бұрын

Thanks see you then :)

I really wants to make a wisteria bonsai, but they seem to dislike flowering for me here in Norway. But I would never get my hands on a plant like you have here either..... Good to see you in action again Darren. Kenneth

@marlabakes Ай бұрын

I'm thankful to live in an area where there aren't really slugs 😂 I agree, that corkscrew branch is just wonderful! I look forward to seeing it with foliage and the eventual cutback for shaping.

*The bird is so beautiful*

@rainproofjeans Ай бұрын

😂 at the vocal response to grabbing the slug. I probably would’ve done the same. New subscriber. Keep us posted on this tree’s progress!

@fletcherlewis Ай бұрын

I spotted your bag of Kitty Friend 😂, good luck with that Wisteria its gonna be a stunner .

@Matt-kt9nm Ай бұрын

Great project. After seeing a slug i would've really looked for more.

Wow, what thickness! A King of a tree.

Beautiful video, cant wait to see it bloom. 👍

@andrewm2616 Ай бұрын

Another great video! I always love seeing your new content show up on my feed!

@GrowingBonsai Ай бұрын

Rhis was such a pleasure to watch. Next spring my similarly sized wisteria needs to go from the recovery tib into a development pot. If you happen to be nearby, want to give me a hand ;)? Really excellent video, calm and well paced.

@knightsremains Ай бұрын

Thank you for this video. It is very soothing.

@ladybucella Ай бұрын

Wow! I would love to see how it looks while it fully bloom 🤩

@grobonsai Ай бұрын

Me too, I haven’t had any flower buds on it since owning it, one day!

@MountainBonsai Ай бұрын

*So beautiful*

@eggybreadplease Ай бұрын

This would be an interesting tree species to follow😉 I love the potential of cascading colour when the flowers burst forth but find the explosive growth a challenge to admire in a bonsai 🤔

@neilatkinson174 Ай бұрын

Mate I've been trying to grow my own wisteria for years with little to no luck, seeing this monster has made me green with envy. 😂

@grobonsai Ай бұрын

This was a lucky Facebook find a couple years back. Thanks!

@wadeolsson856 Ай бұрын

This video just makes me happy 😊. I love wisteria so much, I would love to get one but Arizona is rather hot lol, i think im going to put one under my mesquite in backyard yard.

@corysutton1383 Ай бұрын

Completely understand that slug reaction! Nasty ol things… That Wisteria is a beast. Looking forward to seeing it develop.

@grobonsai Ай бұрын

Haha thanks yeah they freak me out a bit

@BlueJayBonsai Ай бұрын

No offence Darren, but if you stuff your turkey with coco coir, I am going to have to turn down your dinner invitation. 😂🐦💙

@sagebonsai Ай бұрын

Such a big beefy one you got there.

@XaviersBonsaiRetreat Ай бұрын

I really enjoyed watching this one Darren. I am going to uproot my wisteria vine and just wondered if you would do this in early winter or later winter? No worries if you are not sure as I will probably default ot late winter. Keep on the good work :)

2:42 That's a new wisteria plant right there! Did you plant it to make another bonsai out of it? Also at the end you don't have to prune the lower branches that are too low?

@grobonsai Ай бұрын

Yes I planted that chunk. I will prune them at some point but for now more foliage means faster recovery

Awesome! Going to need update pics! I have 2 wisteria's I'm developing, hopefully that get as big as this one. How old is this specimen?

@grobonsai Ай бұрын

I bought it from a guy whose mother planted it approx 30 years ago!

@mikec3820 Ай бұрын

thats a big beautiful wisteria. been wanting one for years. something way smaller then this giant tho haha, nice work too btw!

@grubsnub Ай бұрын

me too, I can’t find anyone who sells them! I’m not surprised though, since if I had one, I wouldn’t sell it for anything

@grobonsai Ай бұрын

I got lucky on Facebook marketplace

@galvanicmass Ай бұрын

Can save the roots as cuttings

@grobonsai Ай бұрын

Yeah I kept the biggest chunks

@mariuszkupczyk2137 27 күн бұрын

what proportions did you use for the substrate?

@grobonsai 26 күн бұрын

I wasn't joking when I was vague - it's just a bunch of ingredients left over, some previous used for cuttings, others just leftover from other repots. It's approximately 50% coir and 50% bonsai soil. In this deeper pot it doesn't matter so much, but when I put the tree into a proper bonsai pot I will use mostly akadama, perhaps with small amount of pumice. Sorry I cannot be more specific.

@jonattanpichardo8655 Ай бұрын

Is there a reason you normally don’t bareroot trees?

@grobonsai Ай бұрын

That comment was poking fun at myself as in recent videos I’ve made a point in saying at the start I don’t intend on bare rooting - only to end up fully bare rooting!
