    Again, another really nice Video!!! Could watch your work and style the whole day:))) You have a nice, clean way to work with your material and i think this is what bonsai is all about. The Process, to think about the future result without stress and the way how we take care of every species we have, is what this great Hobby makes it so loveable.
    Good Artwork; Dude

    Great to see someone working on a lonicer! I've got a 20+ year old Japanese Honeysuckle that has been living a neglected life pot bound for many years. Since repotting and heavily pruning, it grows gangbusters. There is no slowing it down! They get nice twisty gnarly looking trunks.
    Thanks for the video, very informative and now I dont feel so bad about cutting back so hard.

    It is always great to see someone with a passion for whatever they do. I had a bonsai given to me many years ago , a maple and I had to give it it away when I left the country. Unfortunately it died in my absence. I think late winter I will be out in GA looking for a candidate I can do myself. Your knowledge will be indispensable. Thank you for adding something to the world that is good.

    nice one. I am not familiar with this species but your explanation was very good and one can tell that you clearly know what to do with it. I like to keep my trees away from sunlight for 2-3 weeks after repotting (not just 2 days) it may be that this tree is so hardy that doesn't need protection. I liked the use of the large power tool to bulk carve I will take that idea onboard for the future.

    • @AppalachianBonsai

      @AppalachianBonsai  5 лет назад

      Maybe. I have some concerns with the way we all work in our soil. The smallest and heaviest of the particles will always go to the bottom, which isn't necessarily a good thing. Think fluidised bed or gold panning... Maybe for the last step like I do when I bang the sides? Its fun to think about!

    have you tried a kentucky coffeetree? currently growing one from seed but I've been told it could be hard with how fast, deep and thick the roots grow, also that it would be hard to get the tree to scale due to their massive compound leaves.

    • @AppalachianBonsai
      @AppalachianBonsai  Год назад

      I think the compound leaves are the main issue. People try it with black locust, too, but the tree needs to be larger to overcome the leaf issue.

  • @erickborling1302
    @erickborling1302 5 лет назад

    Using invasive species is indeed a HOT tip, because they can grow well after aggressive care. In my neck of the woods that is the Ulmus Pumilla or Siberian Elm which is ubiquitous in Central Washington. What’s more; the seeds sprout in days, and you can plant then over a submerged rock of your choice, gradually lowering the soil. Another great one is the Ulmus Parvifolia or Chinese Smoothbark Elm. If you have relatives down south, you might convince them to grab a handfull of seeds for you. Another good variety is the Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia Indica). These are all tricky with regard to winter survival and insect pests. Thanks for the soil tips especially.

    • @AppalachianBonsai
      @AppalachianBonsai  5 лет назад

      You bet!! Lots of invasives make great material for bonsai. We have loads of Amur honeysuckle, but also Callory pear, barberry, and (surprisingly) trident maples. My friend can't get rid of them!!

      You're probably okay. I know people who use cocopeat and brick chips and compost with no problems. If it works well for you and the tree is happy, then you've got it! I'm not sure what DAP is, but if it looks good and works good, then great!

      Not bad for the tree, but I wouldn't reuse it for anything else. Roots don't grow through it, so any effects of staleness or mold is negligible. I've used it for several years without issue as have others. I've even seen others use rubber inner tubes! You'll be just fine!

    • @AppalachianBonsai
      @AppalachianBonsai  5 лет назад

      Always worth trying. Honeysuckle is super invasive, so it being out of the ground is excellent. It going into a container for bonsai is bonus. It might survive, but I don't know. I've never tried this late (because most things die). Honeysuckle is super hardy, so it might. Keep me tabbed if it works.

    • @AppalachianBonsai
      @AppalachianBonsai  6 лет назад +1

      I don't know. I've never tried it in a greenhouse. Deciduous plants often require all of the seasons to thrive. Dormancy is important for root growth, seed germination, vigor, and more. BUT, plants are adaptive. There are some species of plants that are spread across the US, but the further south you go, the less winter there is - some never go fully dormant. AND, with these honeysuckles, they're super survivors. They might handle nearly everything.

      He's a mutt mix of Border Collie, Blue Heeler, and Aussie Shepherd... and Menace - he's an absolute menace!

      He's a rescue pup, and we believe he's Aussie Shepherd and Border Collie mix.

    Speaking of invasive species, I'll be collecting some buckthron this spring from my parents' land. I'm in Wisconsin, and that crap is a serious problem here. Should make some decent bonsai tho, particularly the ones that my dad has already (repeatedly) tried to kill, not to mention ones deer have munched on. Over christmas, I found a couple which had double trunks that had wrapped around each other -- something apparently not uncommon with buckthorn, as they do that to other trees as well to choke them out. I actually found a pretty thick bucktorn as well that had wrapped around a paper birch, trying to kill it. Come spring, I'll be killing that particular damned buckthorn as well. We WANT the paper birch, and the buckthorn has been outcompeting it, sadly.

      I'm going to do my best. School is definitely taking it's toll during semesters. I hope to have lots of footage taken this spring, and hopefully have lots of edits for the summer. Maybe one or three more in between now & then! ;)
