    I like it, I also like finding inexpensive trees to practice wiring

    Looks much better 😉 would love to see this and other young starters done and followed up through the seasons . The trees can grow with viewers a conifer broad leaf and. A tropical all similar starts and then updates each season... Just a thought.

    If you're looking for video questions and ideas- I'd love to see how to style a cotoneaster as their branch structure is a bunch of dense and alternating small branches growing from a main branch, kind of like in the fern leaves. Do you have any cotoneasters? Thanks so much

      I don’t have any cotoneaster but I have pyracantha which is very similar. Thank you for the idea 💡😃

    Hey Jerome, I love watching your channel. Awesome look on this juniper. I have a little juniper seedling that got saved from between the pavement cracks and it's planted in the garden to grow bigger. This year it got super nice and whippy. Seeing yours 3yo I think I'll wait another year for mine before I'll take it out and transfer it to the container. My question is how to tell what kind is it? I'm in Ontario and this one survived the harsh winter and hot summer very well

    I really enjoy making fast Bonsai with Junipers too. I think it's a great way to learn as usually bonsai take much longer to develop into a semi-refined tree. I would like to know what other species/families lend themselves to this sort of bonsai? I've seen spruce and maybe cedar from plant nurseries done in this way before but what else?

    Jerome, little feedback on the video editing feedback. The music was a little loud, couldn't hear your voiceover that well.

    Do you have video how to dry out adenium to get larger caudex? Onr guy said 3 weeks & you said 4 to 5 months

    • @WeareTheBonsaiSupply
      @WeareTheBonsaiSupply  2 года назад

      Hi Diane, I have a many videos about that subject. It depends on what you want to achieve, as well as your climate. the bigger caudex you want the longer you have to wait when drying it.

    Hi Jerome! Do you know if that species will thrive here in Florida? If not what juniper species would you recommend for us down here say in the northeast Zone 9A? I know you guys used to live down here so you know how it is down here.

    • @WeareTheBonsaiSupply
      @WeareTheBonsaiSupply  2 года назад +1

      HI! Generally Shimpaku does very well down in Florida. However, make sure you purchase one from a similar climate. For instance if you order one from New York where it is very used to getting very cold every year and then you bring it to tropical climate may not work so well. Order one from California, or Georgia that are at least similar in temps.

    Looks awesome, Jerome. You said you paid $15 for this material. Where are you finding material like this in the Atlanta area? I live in the greater Atlanta area too and my local nurseries do not carry this type of material. Do you have a source here somewhere, or did you order this and have it shipped to you? I would LOVE to know of a place to visit to grab stuff like this.

      Hey Paul, I got this whip from my friend Peter Tea. Mark Fields has some good whips too. You can also find whips on eBay and Etsy.

      @@WeareTheBonsaiSupply Gotcha. I'm stunned there's such a large gap in the market here in Atlanta. There are a ton of us bonsai nerds here yet there are no shops to visit to get soil, wire, ceramics, material, etc. The only place I can think of is the Monastery in Covington, but that's about it. It's a bit too far to make it a regular trip.
