    • @grobonsai
      @grobonsai  Год назад

      Nothing special, just a 5-5-5 organic pellet. The species is incredibly vigorous, like Trident on steroids (Acer campestre). Great for trunk building, but will never achieve the fine ramification of trident or japanese maples. Far better than big leaf maples though

    Thanks Darren. Looking forward to seeing this grow. Why did you keep the two shoots at the base? Are they sacrificial, or do you plan to use them somehow, eg. a thread graft.

    • @grobonsai
      @grobonsai  Год назад

      Good question! A few reasons, the trunk is a little oval, strengthen the roots below the branches, keep sap flowing around wounds above. And yeah, convenient candidates for thread grafts

  • @danielanac5093
    @danielanac5093 Год назад +2

    For the climbing plants that cover the facades of the buildings (honeysuckle called Caprifoi, wild grapevine, other ones) we can apply the same techniques to them as for bonsai)? In this sense, by what percentage will the plant's development be reduced and how will it develop from the point of view of appearance?

    • @grobonsai
      @grobonsai  11 месяцев назад

      Great question, it’s very difficult to answer as there are many variables. Pot vs ground is approx 30-50% slower. Bonsai pot can be as low as 25% slower than a normal flower pot. This is all just estimates, very different results can be seen depending on all sorts of factors

  • @matshagstrom9839
    @matshagstrom9839 6 месяцев назад

    this is a really nice tree. sorry to be picky but at 5:02 you cut a branch making the trunk straight. If you would have left that branch and instead cut the trunk just above it you would have added better movement. Sometimes I do this type of pruning over a few days or weeks and think things through. It's a bit like a chess game of thinking ahead. Really great oak!!! this one will be will turn out great. keep up the good work

    • @grobonsai
      @grobonsai  6 месяцев назад

      I opted for the better taper this time, but I think there is a bigger move on the horizon!

    I’ve always wondered what the raised walls of bark are on the branch you cut at 3mins. Is it a fungus that makes it grow like that or a juvenile branch protection mechanism?

    • @grobonsai
      @grobonsai  Год назад +1

      I’ve heard it’s either the result of vigorous growth, or a virus. But I don’t know! It’s very soft, corky, and disappears in a season or two

  • @zavinskymorsen941
    @zavinskymorsen941 11 месяцев назад

    is there a reason you left the two branches on the buttum of the trunk?

    • @grobonsai
      @grobonsai  11 месяцев назад

      It's always nice to have options for thickening the base. Also the one under the scar will keep sap flowing, helping speed up healing and keeping any roots underneath active. It's not strictly necessary with field maple, but it's good practice in my opinion

    Paraqué sirve la pasta gris?

    • @grobonsai
      @grobonsai  Год назад +1

      I use two products. One is the epoxy putty because the wood was rotting, tree heals better on firm material. The wound treatment paste helps prevent die-back and contains a hormone to encourage faster healing.
      Utilizo dos productos. Uno es la masilla epoxi porque la madera se estaba pudriendo, el árbol se cura mejor en un material firme. La pasta para el tratamiento de heridas ayuda a prevenir la muerte de ramas y contiene una hormona para fomentar una curación más rápida.
