Welcome back ❤

I love working on oaks and have a fair few on the go right now. Yours looks pretty promising with the movement you have introduced. I started wiring my oaks at leaf fall to avoid the risk of scarring. I had a bad experience a few years ago when I underestimated just how quickly oaks put on 'girth'. But thankfully, as you mention - they bark up again pretty quickly and hide imperfections well.

Great to see you back mate!!! Love the video!

welcome back

As far as the void space on the bottom, a technique I've used is to use a plastic band to create a dam of sorts surrounding the root mass where the old pot would have been, and then between two sawhorses, I essentially pot it upside-down. Add the media, fill it in, then place the pot on top (bottom) of the root mass, flip it right side up, pull the dam and it slides right down into the pot. I'm sure there is an easier way, but doing it this way has guaranteed me that there won't be a single void in the root mass.

Finalmente ben tornato

Your ability to work that big wire makes me jealous!

Nice men, bonsai plants

Missed your videos man

Potting soil isn’t always a bad thing it all comes down to your environment like I’m in California potting soils here have a peat or Spagna moss good for retaining water during the hot summer months and enough water retention so you’re not watering your tree excessively throughout the the mild winter but always mix it never by itself as potting soil doesn’t drain very well and will muddy up when over watered basically drowning your rootball but in the UK I can understand why potting soil is frowned on so heavily y’all get a lot of water over there. Cheers though great video man keep them coming

Foist and foremost

Lovely Darren 👍 How long have you been immersed in the world of bonsai? Did you develop all your own trees or have you bought a lot of trained trees?

super nice video...any update on how the tree looks like today?

when would you say is the best time to lift an oak in the uk? I trunk chopped one in February and I've read it best to lift at the end of growing season for oak (spetember ish) when they still have some leaves. would you agree please? thank you

I’ve been repotting several Bonsais on my KZfaq channel too. It’s that time of year lol. It’s going to be a great looking tree sooner then 60 years 😂👍

you should teach your neighbours how to trim Leylandai, 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Can you clarify what gauge wire you use? You said 6mm, so would that be 9 or 10 gauge?

I heard somewhere that a larger size particle on a shallow pot only makes it shallower and that is detrimental to the tree because it doesn’t accomplish anything that we’re better of using a homogeneous size particle because it drains perfectly already what are your thoughts on that?

Could you give me a link to that polish online shop? :)

👍👌👌🍎

5:21 I thought that was Parmesan

I’m having trouble accepting the fact that I might never see my trees finished do you deal with that? And if you do what do you do about it?

How do you indentify if the Akadam is intact or not?

get the dog to help you dig next time !

No loam soil?

Looking like he’s going through a divorce.

See you in 60 years!

Why don't you cut it all! You had nothing left on it!!

Welcome back!
