How To Make A Clump Style Bonsai - Kabudachi

- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
- Hi everyone! In this easy to follow Bonsai Video I show you How To Make a Clump Style Bonsai also known as a "Kabudachi".
A Kabudachi, Clump Style, or Multi-Trunk Bonsai is created when multiple trees are planted close together in a pot until they fuse together at the base, becoming one tree. The term "Kabudachi" specifically denotes a planting with five or more trunks. There are distinctions such as "Sokan" for those with two trunks and "Sankan" for those with three trunks in a planting.
Traditionally, odd numbers of trees are favoured for their natural asymmetry and visual interest; however, do not let this tradition limit your creativity! Even numbers of trees can also look great.
In this video, I am using Japanese Maple seedlings to create this clump style. I cover the various Bonsai tools and wire used to create a clump style, as well as the techniques that can be implemented for a more pleasing overall aesthetic and to get the seedlings to fuse efficiently and safely, without the risk of any wire scars at the bottom. The method I am showing you is what has always worked for me and I believe is the easiest and best way for beginners!

The tip with the mesh tape is great. Never heard of that before.
It is a handy one if I got a lot of trees I have to repot in one day! 😄
The most beautiful Kabudachi bonsai I’ve ever seen has been evergreen trees 🌲
Ooh! I probably haven't seen enough of them then!! 😁 What evergreen species look good?
@@notionbonsai I think any coniferous that are straight and tall, but I think I like spruces the best
I like how straight forward you are and sound natural and in your element.
I want to try bonsai and I will share the result.
I am glad my passion for Bonsai comes across this way 🤗 Good luck with your one!!
As I've access to chestnuts, I might try my luck with them. Thanks for this great tutorial.
They would work great like this too!!
Lovely. I look forward to see this clump it the future.
I will do an update in 1 year time! 🙂
Excellent as always Adam! Might try one myself soon.
Thank you Dave! 🙂 I hope yours is successful!!
I want to try a clump style. Thank you for your great video Adam.
Thanks! Awesome tutorial
Beautiful
Love your videos. Keep going.
I'm feeling the clump!
🥳🥳
Oooo i never see this im excited for an update!!
Thanks!
Hey Carol! Thank you so much for your support!!
I just put a small one together the other day with I believe ginko trees of some kind only used 3
Ooh nice! This would be an interesting one to see! Did you start with seedlings?
@@notionbonsai yes sir I did I will be doing an update video when I get my new shipment of starter Kishu material from Bonsaify. It’s started to leaf of the other day and hope it takes. I have an area behind a shed that has probably 50+ seedlings that just keep popping up. Thanks for the response Adam. You and Nigel are the reason I decided to document my bonsai journey on RUclips.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching! 🙂
Great video. Those maples are perfect, good job!
Thank you Kristin! 😊🍁🍁🍁
Great Video thanks for sharing your knowledge 🌱
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks so much for watching!
Great work as always 👍
Thanks Jake!!
Great video Adam
Glad you did it at that stage Adam
I have 3 I wanted to do this to.
Thanks for the lesson mate 👊
Thank you Andy! 🙂
Thank you very much for this. I'm planning on doing exactly the same thing with some amur maple seedlings I've grown
oooh nice! I hope it fuses nicely for you too!
I wonder if it could be as good to use a "regular" plant pot the very first stage? I am also thinking from the perspective of beginners that could benefit of not having to buy a bonsai pot straight away or don't have the drill to make DIY. I imagine it would not be detrimental in the most early development? Thanks for an informative video as usual.

😊
Awesome Adam! I’m going to give clump style a try!
Unrelated: Do you have any suggestions for caring for a schefflera (umbrella tree) and when to repot etc? If you have these in your region?
Awesome video pal, and thank you for all your help through insta so far 😉👍
When did you first repot the maples?
Hey! No problem man! I repot these ones last year, I think it was mid summer, just separated them from the seed tray they were in, did not disturb any roots and potted them individually 😊
Nice!! Do you have any advice for indoor grow lights?
Thanks! I do not have grow lights at the moment so I do not have much experience with them unfortunately!
Just curious how you water your Japanese maple seedlings? Thanks and great video
I water them every day, sometimes twice a day if it is hot outside! 😊
Thank you! Looking forward to trying this style.
I’m new to bonsai care. How often do you water?
Hey! I hope you have success in yours! Because I use soil with so much drainage, I water all my trees every day. You never want the soil to fully dry out, or be sitting in water / flooded where the water will stagnate and rot the roots. It is a balance 🙂 I hope this helps!
@@notionbonsai Got it! Thank you!
I've found maple seedlings don't like being really tightly clumped i.e. to make a multistem but need at least half an inch or so
Really helpful video Adam. A couple of questions if I may, did you do a video when you planted the Maple seeds and, where did you buy the Maple seeds please?
Hey Mike! I did make a video on how to stratify and germinate maple from seeds. I got these seeds from Herons Bonsai Nursery on my last visit.
Here is the video on how to grow the maples from seed: ruclips.net/video/jD2Ekp-0mew/видео.html
Hope this helps!!
Thanks for the help Adam. Really appreciated.
Similar start technique for Trunks fusion
This is true!! 🙂
The mesh tape is a really good concept if it indeed works?
It sure does! As long as the pot is dry when sticking it, it stays on no problem! Though you might need to go hunting for it in the soil when you repot a year later!
Hi there, long time didn't catch up on yr videos. How often do you water?
Hey!! I water my trees every day. Sometimes 2x a day if it is particularly warm. 😃
Can u use latin name so anyone can be sure of what tree u talking about? Merci 👍🏼
Is this the same as maples?
Hey! The species I used in this video is Japanese maple ☺
