I really like that tree and I think that you made that point beautifully. I appreciate when something as intimidating as spending years to develop the radial, flat root base can be communicated in such clear terms. thank you for this video.
Great video Adam. I have found that I can develop the lateral roots very much quicker and avoid deep downward roots by growing Japanese maples is shallow baskets with lots of perforations and great aeration - a lot like shallow, wide pond baskets.
Great explanation about undercutting. I think sometimes we can often get to 'brave' with our root pruning in the early stages. I certainly lost two or three nice size starter maples tryig to get it all in one go! Thanks Adam.
Patience….. The absolute hardest thing to learn and practice in bonsai. Thanks, keep growing
It really is Matt. Might cover this is another video if I can figure out a way to get the point across well. Thanks. Adam
Nice root work!!
Hello Nigel! Thanks for having a look and popping a comment on 👍
Once again a very useful video for us well meaning amateurs. I actually watched Ash combing out his Acer this morning.
And a pleasure to see you again Roy 👍
Very informative as always, Adam. A useful reminder that as bonsai enthusiasts we have to play the long game! 👍
Hi Martin, thanks again for watching. Who knew bonsai would take so damn long! 😂👍
