    Wow. I really admire your enthusiasm and drive in every bonsai video you have, old and recent. I look forward to seeing this apple Tree bonsai bloom into a gorgeous bonsai in your future videos.

      Hey thanks a lot Ron! It's looking very pretty at the moment since it's Autumn. I'll post how it looks this time of year on my Instagram!

    Crazy apple man!! You know about cutting out the “boring work” you can always time laps it as well I’ve seen guys do that, and I love that you put this in a basket it definitely needed it!! Never underestimate the power of the basket!!

    • @notionbonsai
      @notionbonsai  2 года назад +1

      I'll definitely be timelapsing more in future videos! The Basket really gives the tree a lot of roots in a short space of time!

    A very special tree Adam, i look forward to watching you grow it, you have such a great style and obviously passionate about bonsai. The way you explain things as you go will help sooo many people learn the art. Top job Adam🤙

      This is one of my favourite trees (even though it doesn't look very good at the moment) I may air layer a section off the top in the future!

    Love this video ! You are so brave to tackle this tree the way you did! You must be so confident in what you’re doing. I’m so impressed with how the tree coped and recovered. You really are very gifted and inspiring

      Thank you for your kind words 😄 Apple trees can take a good bit of pruning in spring before the buds open. More videos on the way!

    Hi, i have been raising a lot of apple trees from seed. They are already a year old. I live in the tropics. Recently, I have found out that the roots are already root bound. When can I safely prune the roots? Can i prune the roots safely if the weather is hot, i mean its always hot in the tropics and we only have two seasons, the dry and wet seasons. Also, should i prune the top portion the same time when I prune the roots? Also, should I place them under the shade after pruning the roots and how long should i place them there? Hope you could give me some advice on what to do. Thank you very much in advance.

    Why cut off the budds at the bottom, dont you want sacrafices or branches to thicken/ add taper ?

    • @notionbonsai
      @notionbonsai  2 года назад

      Good point! That is one option and a good way to thicken trees at the base.
      I have found that sacrificial branches tend to work faster when a tree is potted into the ground. In such a small pot like this would take a very long time so it isn't worth keeping them right now.
      Plenty will grow back! Apples grow suckers all throughout summer.
      My plan with this tree is to air layer the top off it and work with the smaller material that way 😀
