I enjoy that we have the same Dollar Store/Quid Shop baskets across the pond from each other. I have a dozen identical ones stacked in the shed waiting for trees.
Great video Jason on the development of this hornbeam. It's a funny one watching this, one minute you have a beard, then you're clean shaven, then the beards back again! Talk about rapid growth!! 😂
I hadn’t noticed - very sharp eyed of you 😄 This one has been a pain to put together Gavin. I tried to complete it before my holiday but didn’t quite finish it. It’s taken me an extra week to get back into the flow of what I was saying and record some additional commentary.
Great tree. Those mesh pots are very hard to find in Aust, but l found some the other day made for kitchen storage baskets. Probably not made for outdoor use and may not last as long but l am giving them a try. cheers. nice videos. greetings from Down Under.
Hi Jason. Soooo glad to see another post from you, even if it didn't show my adopted fish. By the way, I have had a request from an absolutely adorable 3 year old, to make him a koi fish costume for halloween. He found my book on koi in my bookshelves. What did you as a tourniquet on the trunk, just wire? Thick wire?
Hi Mary. I have been away in a Mediterranean cruise holiday so output slowed. I just used thick gauge wire tightened around the trunk so it bit into the cambium layer. 👍
Great transformation so far mate. Might have to get my hands on that Harry Harrington book, looked rly interesting. Will make a nice future bonsai this hornbeam with time.
Thats a great book from Harry and lots of good bonsai progress. I like what you're doing with this hornbeam mate. I've done a few ground layers this year with the tourniquet method and they are looking good so far.
Really helpful vid! I've been developing my hornbeams (grown from seed) exactly the same way and it works brilliantly. Hornbeams have such wonderful natural movement and grace. It really helps tap into that potential by letting the plant grow on (with periodic trunk chops) for a few years. One of my absolute favourites to work with.
Hello Jason, I was wondering how I get hold of you for a private chat please. I’ve just started doing some videos and am not very confident but have attempted a tribute to Tony and I know you were close. Can you tell me if it’s ok as I don’t want to offend anyone, thank you very much. Keep up the great work, I love it.
Hi, I know a number of people, including myself, Xavier, Bonsai Crazy, Bonsai Cornwall, and a number of others have done tributes to Tony and his RUclips video legacy. So long as it is sensitive and respectful to family and Tony’s memory I imagine it should be ok.
This is directional pruning. The leaves grow alternatively on hornbeam and beech so you would cut just above the leaf or bud growing in your desired direction, leaving the leaf in your desired direction. Hope that is clear.
So the tourniquet is just basically a piece of say 2.5mm wire wrapped tightly around the trunk and plant it in the ground with the tourniquet perhaps 1.5 inches under soil?
That’s correct. As the trunk expands the tourniquet starts to bite in and compress the cambium layer, preventing downward flow of energy. This accumulates at that site and starts to form roots over time. It’s similar to how air layers work, except that you didn’t ring bark the trunk for a ground layer. You would probably want to avoid that to prevent moisture permeating the buried wood and causing it to rot.
@@TheBonsaiGarden so to do air layer on japanese maple for example, start air layer mid to end may and within 12 weeks or maybe even less you can cut it off and pot up... Is the tourniquet method similiar time scale or more or less.. Thanks jason
@@TheBonsaiGarden prob depends on a warm sunny garden or not... I've seen plenty of vids on air layer and they seem to be quick, I did try one once on a birch and it was successful, I got a orange dream maple I'm thinking of doin, it's twin trunk but the twin trunk is a little to high up for my liking.. Thanks anyway mate
Is there a video which shows how you dig a tree out? Seems stupid but obviously damaged roots will just ruin everything. What is a good radius to start with?
Thanks for the presentation. But a point of confusion/correction about Hornbeam and Beech having Opposing leaves. The Hornbeam clearly has an 'Alternate' leaf pattern as does the Beech tree. They alternate left and right along the stem/branch. This is not "opposing" or "opposite". Maple, Ash, Dogwood, and others grow with opposite leaves. I've heard others confuse the arrangement of leaves as well. Here is an explanation ruclips.net/video/QZYNuJAdVvw/видео.html
Ijin menonton. Saya suka video anda dan saya suka bonsai karya anda. Salam 1 hobi

I’m a big fan of these. They are sturdy plastic, much wider than pond baskets with with all round drainage and aeration which is great for the roots.
Nice video Jason, very informative and interesting. I especially love the white board parts of the video. Well done 👌
Thanks Alex 👍
Nice work Jason. Im fond of a chop or two also!
Right on 😆
Nice job on the stump great video thanks Jason keep it up mate
Cheers buddy 🙏
So beautiful, thank you for the video
Thank you 🙏
Nice job Jason!

Thanks Kennet 🙏
Lovely little tree
Cheers Danny 👍
That's a great job Jason. I should look at maybe shortening the trunk on a Maple on my Balcony.
I would be interested to see that and how you get on with it Patricia 👍
Great video, loved it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you 🙏

Good to see you doing some development from raw stock videos, my kinda growing.
Thanks 🙏

I couldn’t make it Paul, as I was on a Mediterranean cruise. Just back Sunday.

I just got a beech that needs major pruning. Did I hear correctly if you want growth to the right you should cut off the leaf to the right?
This is directional pruning. The leaves grow alternatively on hornbeam and beech so you would cut just above the leaf or bud growing in your desired direction, leaving the leaf in your desired direction. Hope that is clear.

My experience is both techniques take longer than that in my garden.

My mistake this is what I meant.
So the tourniquet is applied march time?
It can be applied any time but to benefit most it should be applied early in the growing season.
@@TheBonsaiGarden OK.. Thanx
