Garden tree to a nice young bonsai. Love it.

[@curtmudgeon8703]

i thoroughly enjoy your free form and "Non-Conformist Style". i totally agree that Bonsai **IS An Art form**. For now, i must keep with my "Purest Mentor's" teachings. Eventually i will be free to express myself in my own flavor. I will still indulge in "YOUR" teachings to broaden my horizons! Keep the videos coming!

[@bonsaiheirloom]

Well said! That is how I started too. I learned from the traditional masters, John Naka and Harry Hirao. Then, I began to find my own bonsai shortcuts and methods through trial and error! Once we learn the fundamental basics of bonsai, we can expand and really be creative.

What a great example of turning a garden (or nursery) tree/shrub into a future bonsai. And advising it won’t be an over night bonsai. Rather it will take a few years to pick and design it to look better. Love this tree. Looking forward to seeing its progress. Really liking and learning from your videos.

[@bonsaiheirloom]

Yes, it takes time and patience to craft a tree into a bonsai, but it is worth it! We can already see the potential in this tree.

[@bonsaiheirloom]

Yes, don't be afraid! I killed a lot of trees when I first started doing bonsai. It's all about learning through trial and error! I am here if you ever have any questions.

Thank you for teaching us how to begin bonsai and encouraging us to have the courage to try what we find to be beautiful to our eyes. You are very good at this and your trees are beautiful.

[@bonsaiheirloom]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@michaelchang6451]

Just do it! Like Nike 😂❤

[@austinvickymoore3656]

I believe bonsai has always been about being open minded in the design of the trees... just a shame it's taken me so long to actually get a start in this part of the art

👍👌🙂

[@tattoosbyish]

I’m curious why after trimming a branch you peel some of the bark back? I’ve seen you do it in a few other videos. Thanks!

[@bonsaiheirloom]

I'm creating jins, which is deadwood. It is to create some contrast in the bark and provide more interest and dimension.

[@eth2999]

Could you explain we’re I could find this “moss powder” you refer to. Ans does it actually grow moss like conventional kind of moss ? Enjoying your series, thank you. P.S. I live in Thailand

[@bonsaiheirloom]

You can pick up moss you find on the side of the road or on buildings, blend it up, put it on your bonsai, and that's how you grow more moss!
