Turn Japanese Maple Seedlings into a Clump Style Bonsai, Part 1 | Bonsai-U

taken me 38 years to get the clump style done

Для чего так долго трындеть и ничего при этом не делать ?!
Нудота !

I do this with my asparagus Fern and it works exactly the same 👌

Tuyệt vời ❤❤❤❤❤

I have loads of Blackthorn and Acer Campestre seedlings. I think I will give it a go! Not really created many clump style trees. The last one I did was a Ficus Benjamina, very easy when it comes to fusing together, since it grows all year.

I am just getting into this and i am 56.

A society grews great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit

Wow nice bonsai

Why are you trying to be american, Bjorn? 😁

Im wondering. I would love to start making my own bonsai tree. I have a Japanese maple in my backyard. Beautiful red yellow leaves when it's flowering. Could I gather some seeds from that plant them and on two years try to make a bonsai with those? Oh and when should I gather the seeds?

❤😂😂

Very nice work

What variety of maple is this?

Is there an update on the clump styles you made during this tutorial? I've started my own clump style projects following these instructions and it would be nice to see what progrees to expect after some years.

"what's up?"
Usually my blood pressure when I'm greeted by that or by "hey".

if you were to fuse cuttings instead of seedlings, would you root them first?

Does anyone sell this book reasonably priced?

Glad your doing bonsai correctly like how maples grow on a golf coarse. Only way to survive is to be the same size as a tulip lol

good job!👍

I have many Burr oak seedlings, the leaves are large on Burr oaks, would I achieve the cluster effect?

Nice.

theres a japanese maple near my house and im thinking of germaniating some seeds to make a bonsai. looks like the leaves are average size, should i find a tree with smaller leaves or germinate these seeds and pick the smallest seedlings?

Is there a part two? Love this😊

Thanks for this video

Thaks for your Tutorial . this is very interesting .

Do you have an update for this

I've tried to do this but it's not profitable to make finished or even bonsais in the middle of their growth.

It's far easier to just get a super fast growing ficus that grows thick branches and keep cutting them back and rooting all of the cut branches to fuse into another bonsai body. You eventually get gnarled body that you can graft thick branches into to create an Indonesian style "monster" bonsai thats meant to simulate the gigantic fast growing killer ficuses that strangle other trees to kill and then feed on the dead host tree.

You stop at the beginning stages where you get one big trunk, 3 to 5 main branches and ever so slightly bend the branches so you get a suggestion of what it's supposed to look like and sell that off to either hardcore bonsai hobbysists that will keep it and grow it for years or the steady influx of starting bonsai hobbyists that will buy it and forget it.

Lmao I just started germination of my first seeds and looked up a vid to see how long it takes to look like the tree on the box from the kit I got. Guess it takes a lifetime nice.

Great tutorial 👍....at 61, I wish I'd started this a tad earlier 😂....but if I live to be 100, then job done!

if 5 maple seeds germinated... in the same spot... you could have natural variation... shouldn't the pot and fertilzer schedule help adjust the growth and leaf size?

Bro the one you made when you were 16 it looks like it's dead or is that supposed to look that way it just looks like you got a dead tree shaped nicely those little balls at the end don't look like leaves it's very bare looking in the foliage department is it dead after all that time I really have no idea I don't know my plants only plant I grow and know is marijuana and I turned a nice marijuana plant into a bonsai plant kind of once it was a little guy so I decided to shape them and make them all wild looking and he was so wild and beautiful looking I didn't want to get rid of it and chop it down but I had to but really what I did is I just took the whole thing up out of the dirt hung it upside down let it dry then I just clipped the buds off of the stems left some leaves and tried to keep it like that dead but it ended up getting destroyed it's still looks beautiful dead in a window sill but oh well make another one one day

Thank you so much for this awesome information. I will checkout your site. ☺☺

Marvelous video! Very informative.

haha I thought this was an clickbait so never clicked this
and I randomly watched other video and realized this is real

Great!! Please, update it. Thanks!!

Why not strap up an inch or two up the trunks?

Always wanted to do Bonsai. Very interested in grafting as a child. I'm on my way out of this place now and learning so much, so late. Trees are like friends.😊

"Clump style?" In English this may be better described as "pseudo coppicing." Coppicing produces multiple stems by repeatedly cutting the trunk down at ground level. The base of the trunk from which multiple stems then sprout is known as the "stool." Thus, grouping multiple stems "kabudachi style" gives the impression of coppicing whilst not being coppicing. "Pollarding" is a similar process but higher up the trunk from which multiple stems then sprout.

👏🌷👍👌❤

Quick question. Why repot the tree after the first year only to stick it into the basket again? Does that help the root system develop more?

How does this tree look 2yr later?

best bonsai tutorial I have seen so far. Quick and easy description.

I can’t find aluminium wire, I’m not even sure it exists, but I did get some aluminum wire, I’m pretty sure it will work just the same as the aluminium

I'm 11 starting my bonsai adventure

It's great to hear someone teaching people how to keep their trees alive foremost ,because some of us are wandering blindly in the dark,, thanks

4 in Chinese is similar to death. I don't believe Japan has that superstition for the same reason. At least I've never heard (my mom is Japanese American, my dad is Chinese Portuguese Hawaiian)

My grandma on my mom's side did say odd numbers were good luck though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have a feeling aspen would be a good match for this.

Supplies?
