I sprout my Japanese black pine seeds in my large devil Ivy pot. They love it.

How do i get my tiny chinese elm to grow nice thick trunk like that? Just plant it into a massive pot for few years?

At what time of the year in the UK is it possible to try and follow these guidelines ? Or alternatively when should you not do this ? I bought a few of these starter saplings at your Exhibition Weekend a couple of weeks ago

Fantástico video No se ingles pero entendí el co acepto gracias

I feel like they'd be suited to making an excellent forest group.

How old is this tree??

The sped up bits are very funny.

Hello ! Any update on that tree ? ☺

I recently bought a Chinese elm, I wasn’t sure about the shape because it isn’t an S shape, it’s like the one on your left, good to ear it’s an ok shape. I’m a beginner.

Looking to buy a tree for my son whos 17. Just watching and reading up is amazing what you need to know when having these trees. Cant wait to buy one for xmas

I've spent 24 years in Japan teaching on Japanese Excellence. I have been to many bonsai studios and exhibitions, but I have to say what you're doing here is extraordinary. You are world-class from start to finish, but there is just one problem......... You need to bonsai your health! We need you around and I can tell you, you're a walking heart attack. Please read my book and I will help you at no charge, Lean Health 7 Secrets 1. 80-20 fruits vegetables, protein 🟰🏃‍♂ 2. No, added sugar only read the ingredients avoid opening packages. 3. Portion size think the size of your fist. ✊ 4. Chopsticks will slow you down. 🥢 5. Enjoy a wide variety of fruits and vegetables 🥕 🍒🍎🍉🍑🍊🍋🌶 🥦🥒🥗🍅🌽🥕🍆 6. I have made an important observation people who prepare their own food have a 95% better chance of maintaining great health, people who have their food prepared for them are fat. 😪😣😩 7. 5 minutes a day exercise and never miss the rest of your life. Never take a day off develop a habit that will be the same as breathing. 💪

I have a question I have recently acquired a very nice Japanese maple it has some heavier branches towards the top that just would not be good for the overall design of the tree my question is when is the best time to remove heavy branches on a Japanese Maple bonsai?

Hi Corin, I have a few questions. I have a Beni Chidori maple, a corkbark elm, and an Itoigawa juniper. I was thinking of using straight Rice Krispies for the two deciduous trees (Tesco's Unfinest though cos I'm on a budget), and a 50/50 mix of Rice Krispies and Coco Pops for the juniper, does that sound okay? And would the deciduous trees like a bit of sugar sprinkled on their Rice Krispies?

Very helpfull

I am so glad to have shared my time on the planet with you 😎corin well done you are actually talking to tree

This is the best Crepe Myrtle I have seen 👍

Do these Lebanon Cedars need dormancy in winter? if so, what temperature is ideal ?

Best channel thanks for all your content

Hello from California! I stumbled upon your channel as I searched YT for “Bonsai Crape Myrtle When to Prune”. It was interesting seeing your take on the tree in the UK. Over here, we value it for its summer flowers and fall colors. It loves full sun. Although you did a BEAUTIFUL job pruning a real specimen, in California we would prune like you did first after the spring flush of leaves, and then again in the late spring. If you cut after after that it won’t flower that year. Crape Myrtle bonsai are relatively rare where I live as well. However they are common street trees and in landscapes. I’ve been growing three rescues for more than twenty years as bonsai. My little trees have lived outside year round, even though they often get covered in snow! I’ve let mine get far too leggy over the years, and so I’m now looking for the right time of year to cut them back hard. Thanks for your great video, I look forward to watching more!

Every day is a learning day 💫 Today, I took to challenging my very ungreen fingers and applying them to the Japanese art of bonsai in an introduction course at Greenwood Bonsai Studio in Arnold, Nottingham. It was absolutely brilliant! I love taking the opportunity to learn something new and today I could not help but be inspired by the passion and enthusiasm of Corin, our workshop teacher. I came away feeling like I could turn anything into a bonsai 😂 I would highly recommend it to anyone! Cannot wait to see how my little bonsai collection grow.

The big limb you cut at ~ 37:47 , would that be "root able" to start another Bonsai? Thanks for the video showing that trimming a Bonsai you have to be BOLD in your visions and have sharp shears...

Do you have video or pics of this tree in bloom? Thanks

At ~ 10:05 , The big branch you cut off, can you use that to "root" another tree? Seems too nice of a branch to throw away... Great video to use as a guide for trimming my Green Mound Juniper Bonsai.. Thank you...

Wow Corin really enjoyed your showing n explaining of your prized n beautiful trees.

Bellissimi!

Danke fürs zeigen ❤

👍👌🙂

World class collection. Will be visiting one day soon ❤

Really enjoyed your expression at Josh’s bronchial explosion! Great trees to be sure. Looking forward to making it over someday. Thanks!

I'm curious what this bonsai looks like now, after two years

Thank you Corin for showing this video, I was regrettably unable to make your Bonsai Bash weekend and it’s great to see such incredible trees. Congratulations, I’m glad you and your superb team had a successful weekend.

Absolutnie fantastyczne bonsai. Gratulacje👍👏

Thanks for sharing your display. Will be bringing some fellow enthusiasts from the Northumberland Bonsai Society down to meet you and see your displays next May and hopefully will also make the autumn show in 2025 as we look to build a fun calendar in 2025. Keep up the great work with your videos. Been enjoying them and learning from them for a few years now.

Shout out to the slug. 💪💪💪

thoroughly enjoyed the weekend exhibition, a big thank you to all your staff for the help and information. Ill see you in February hopefully for the open workshop😀

Amazing collection....well done

Thanks for sharing this video , unfortunately I could not make it the weekend but will try and come up next may . I love your style of video and find your easy going explanations very interesting and helpful , I saw you at the Heathrow bonsai show a few weeks ago but ever got to speak to you in person.

When the pots cost as much as the trees😂

Great video Corin I loved that larch cascade the table and pot are spot on really nice tree. They all are 👊👊👊

Beautiful trees and engaging commentary.

Un grand merci pour la vidéo!

You always inspire me to get out to my trees and look closer at what I have and the possibilities I can see. Nice trees!!!

All these bonsai heads keeps talking about the same thing all over and over 😅 all of them.

Hello from Western Australia , love your show

Great day on Saturday. Some amazing trees on display inside and out. Info sheet was useful but still better to hear your personal experience of the trees. Can only pray my little shishigashira purchased on Saturday looks like yours one day 🤔🤞🌳

Look at that welcoming smile! 😁

some of my trees are over well over 40 years old im 75 years old now.. question is how do you move them in a safe way i allways struggle ( do you use a stretcher ) ??? one of them was sold to me at the garden centre between derby/nottingham when carins dad was doing a demonsration..for £8 carin was a nipper back then and i belive this was his 1st sale..lol

Again a very great Saturday for me & wife visiting here this nursery is always a treat to see for me best in the uk for trees , pot’s & sundries & atmosphere only missing one thing a cafe to keep people for longer ….🌲👌

Thanks for sharing, beautiful trees. The slug tree also looks like a sea lion

I had a fantastic day and thank you for allowing me to film and chat with people too. Mine uploads at 4.30pm so hopefully it will give even more of an understanding of how fantastic things ran on the weekend. Thanks again and I fear you may see me for a Workshop next year :)
