Crabapple Bonsai Update & Pruning

A much requested video on one of my favorite trees ever! My Crabapple Tree was making me extremely nervous around the middle of the season. I wanted to do an update video to let you all know if what was previously done was successful or not. Be sure to watch the entire video to see how it fairs and what is planned for the future of my favorite potted plant pal. Next stay tuned to see what needs to be done to get all of my bonsai ready for their dormancy period! As always Plant Prudently!

Hi Justin beautiful bonsai. I had never seen a bonsai tree like this. My friend had a bonsai that was soft and looked fake. I don’t know what kind it was. Had to put water on the foliage as well as watering it. Thank you for your video’s.

Wow. You’ve really helped it recover brilliantly. Good work, Justin.

I was so happy to see that it was something manageable! I got really upset around early July. I would have been devastated if I lost him! Hope you're well! 🌲

My grandparents had this large Crab Apple Tree beside their bee house, and every year my Grandma would take me out to collect some for EATING. These were dark red, oblong shaped, about the size of a cherry tomato, very sour... What is the name of this type? I dont want to accidentally purchase anything that's strictly ornamental.

[@jkleczewski]

What product did you use for the rust?

[@migaraize]

hi, is it really necessary to graft the trees for bonsai? thanks
