All I can say is this has been the "BEST" video I have seen on this topic! Not only sharing priceless knowledge, but at the same time going around to show perfect examples of what they are telling us about. Would "LUV" to see more like this on other Bonsai topics. Thanks so much for sharing this awesome video. Now I am going to go get started putting some of my trees in the ground. Blessed Be To You & Yours.
@Daniela Ferreira I'm waiting till spring to start mine.
I'm just now getting into bonsai. Why don't people always start out the bonsai in the ground, on a board? So much easier to keep moist....which has worried me about getting into this. Could I keep up with watering potted bonsai..? ..don't know....but in the ground yes. And faster growth! Thoughts?

I would love to chill in that mans yard with him and just talk trees all afternoon.
Smoking some trees with the Chinese guy
Yea, but he also need to work and make money
I'd love to sit down with so many of the RUclips gardeners/bonsai-ers/carnivorous plant growers, and all these really exotic plant fields, and exchange tried and true advice/information for labor in their greenhouse/farm/garden. There's so much to learn from so many people, and knowing that I'll likely never know everything about all or even one of these fields gives me a really euphoric feeling of unending-ness. There's always more to learn, so given that you try, you'll never stop getting smarter and better.
amen to that
You have no idea! I have entire backyard full of different future bonsai trees, and I would just love to just go and pick his brain all day. I have a million and one questions.
Dan Robinson's spot looks completely magical. The wind, the adult trees around, the way the Bonsai are all arranged, the lake view. Wow.
I was thinking exactly the same! Reminds me of my grandfathers place. He was a professional gardener Holtuculturist.
What a beautiful place to live and work
It is. I've been there and love the atmosphere.
The water too.
Just what we all thought, including me. Such a haven and piece of heaven.
life goal- bonsai garden that backs out on to the lake
*daydream drools*
@5:52- "No, not like that, Ben.."
Hilarious!! 😂
Another great thing about ground growing pre bonsai material is that those trees are less maintenance than ones in pots. Nature and the elements tend to take care of the tree’s growth pattern and shape. I have a few trees that are planted at the edge of a retaining wall in my back yard. I’m applying the retaining wall to simulate a cliff side on a mountain top. I have placed rocks at the bases of some of the trees so that wind or the weight of heavy snow have leverage to contort the trunks. One of which is a limber pine which is partly in the shade, and it has contorted so it’s foliage can reach the light. There is a yew I got from a closing nursery which has started cascading down the retaining wall in many places. With potted trees, you have to often protect them from the cold wind so the roots don’t dry out. Easy solution would be to bury the tree still in the nursery pot for the winter. If you still really want it in the pot.
It's not possible tho in colder climates like NE America. No greenhouse...?
@@judithmaybee733 I live in MD, so the roots will be fine as long as they are not exposed to the wind and dry air. I would only use a greenhouse if the trees were in grow boxes or pots. However I have a couple large collected boxwoods out front in those half barrel planters, and I just put dead leaves over the bonsai substrate, and the bushes have come back the last couple years. The planters are sitting on the ground in my plant bed.
If you want to thicken trunks fast hang weights on the branches near the trunk. It adds stress weight and it bulks up to deal with it rather then wait for all the new growth to do the same thing😉
What would be a "weight"?
Wow, the knowledge density here is off the charts! Subbed.
I love bonsai. Those thick trunks are beautiful.
I have my entire backyard full of different, future bonsai trees and I've been trying to find as much info on them as I can. Definitely gonna subscribe.
Great info, really appreciate you shearing your knowledge..
This is the most helpful video I’ve seen in a while. I had trees in small pots and never grew. I just planted a bunch in the ground.
Very complete video of thickening up trunks, thanks a lot!
Thanks for passing on the knowledge, what a beautiful garden you visited. Thank you!
It’s his
Finally someone who is not afraid and selfish to share the knowledge.
That was awesome and just what I needed!
I've been wondering so much and this answered questions that didn't even deal with trunk size.
You are exactly what I’ve been searching RUclips for. Thank you for sharing your expertise and time!
Thank you so much for sharing your dads knowledge!
Your interview with Dan Robinson was amazingly informative....Starting plants in the ground is definitely an advantage!!!
Wow thank you so much..
I’m new to Bonsai and this was so valuable...
this is a really extensive, knowledgable and useful synopsis of the subject and your well-spoken presentation makes it even more enjoyable
That guy Dan has some amazing plants! WOW
Great video. Great info. Understandable. The amount of info you provided in such a short time is really impressive.
This is clearly a video to study carefully.
Thanks for all the advice. Just helped more than you know!
Fellow Bonsai'er from Seattle! You have a beautiful garden, sir!
Thank you Ben for your advice I live in UK 🇬🇧 and I have been keep bonsai for several years now thanks to you and others on RUclips I am slowly learning how to do things correctly...
Thanks Ben!
I stumbled upon your video this morning and it was one of the most educational bonsai videos I’ve seen in quite a while! I’ve subscribed 😊
Thank you so much. That just confirmed I’m on the right track. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Best video ever, Thank you for so much information and so easily explained, has made my day, love gardening and learned so much from this video, Big Thank You,
Splendid video and splendid teaching. With gratitude.
Thank you so much fo the video, gardening is a hobby that I adore, I also raise lithops and other plants in the mesembs family. I am very new to Bonsai, I only have one small tree so far. Lithops and Bonsai are complete opposites as far as care goes. So I am constantly searching for new info. I chose bonsai not because I love to garden but because it is a test of patience and loyalty and teaches consistency. It brings someone a sense of fulfillment. I think the art of bonsai is beautiful and hopefully I can learn something about myself along the way. And hopefully I can keep my trees happy and healthy for a very, very long time.
Very educational and well explained, great video thanks for sharing
Superb video Ben, really enjoyed it! Tip 7 is a simple one if you want that gnarled look at the trunk base. Tip 9 - silica - is completely new to me. I will investigate. Thanks!!
dan's backyard ....amazing
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
Great information! Thank you for sharing so many ways! I have to update some of my techniques! :)
Wow, what an exceptional video. Not only was it very informative but it shows your passion for the art of bonsai. It’s rare you get so much information coupled with passion for the art. Many thanks
Great tips! Especially the one on adding silica. I like agsil 16 as a foliar to add silica and prevent fungal issues. Basically using it as a ph up substitute for baking soda.
so that is how its done! i was just thinking of doing this just to see what would happen and if my trees would survive better over the long freezing winters, thank you for the tips
Very well explained.. Thank you for sharing.
So interesting and informative too. Thank-you for sharing your knowledge. I've been practicing on my ficus but it's my first attempt and it shows! 😆💕🌱
Great information on trunk thickening. I'm all ready a believer in growing in ground and after this video I think a lot more people will be doing it to

I had to comment again. I learned new things in your list of trunk thickening tips. Then, the field trip with Dan Robinson at the end??? What great knowledge! I got chills when he was leading us to the trees he grew in-ground! Exciting and informative. Great video.
Amazing tutorial, so much information thanks soo much!
After this video, you have all my attention!
Very informative and fun to watch. Thanks for the info. Just started growing bonsai tree's from a seed kit I found on sale. They have grown nicely over the past 4 months or so. So much to learn ...it's a science and art combined with plenty of patience...well worth it!
Now I'm a bonsai junky. the only regret I have is not starting many years ago
I have a jabuticaba that needs to come inside for winter, so I need to learn everything bonsai to keep it alive. These tips are really helpful. Especially #10 Grow your tree in the ground before you bonsai it. Thank you.
What a beautiful place. Bonsai heaven
This helps me a lot with general planting ty
