Bonsai Garden Summer Tour - Part 1

I have a lot of trees and I realizing that to appreciate them I need to space them out. There are many bonsai trees that don’t make these videos. I figure they are too low quality or I’ve shown a lot before. I might make a video viewing these bonsai in the future. Many other trees have yet to be worked on at all and I’m waiting for the right time. Thanks for watching. Go bonsai.

Thanks and hello from Kelowna! You can really see the rewards of humble beginnings and several years progress. These trees are looking excellent.

Thanks so much, I love bonsai. As per usual wish I had more time to dedicate. Slowly as my kids get older I’ll be able to put more time into it. I appreciate the positive comment.

Thanks for the post👍😀

Wow, cool new benches you have there and awesome trees. It's a great job you've done on the trees, especially the juniper, last time I saw it looked really outgrown but now it really looks like a bonsai. Thank`s for showing 😀👍

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

Ya, I’ll post a video of the structural wiring. It’s hard to see what I’m doing but it’ll give people an idea of how I go about it. Thanks for the comment it means a lot

Looking good Chris... garden, new benches, trees... everything. You have a nice thing going there. This monster Juniper is going to be an amazing tree. I cannot believe how far it went from when I saw it last year...

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

Thanks Leszek, I appreciate the comment and encouragement. Thanks for visiting last year. 😀👍

Thanks for taking us on the tour ! Great trees - good work....Looking forward to see part 2. Did you do the cement pots by yourself ? Noticed some frost crackings.

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

Yup, made the cement ones myself. And yes they are cracking. It gets to minus 20 Celsius ( -4 Fahrenheit), some are holding strong and not cracking. The ones I put peat in seems not to have cracks (Tufa) . I’ve been experimenting with various fibers and plastics to see if I can make them withstand the cold. Any tips?

[@bonsairandomuncut6297]

@@kootenaybonsaicanada Did make lots of cement pots for the trees.Some cracked too when i made em too thin (5mm). Tip: Glasfibres (1cm -1.5 cm) very well mixed into the mixture work great. Another tip : Prevent the cement from drying while hardening - just cover with a bag or something. If you want to dig deeper feel free to ask - your always welcome.

[@BostonBonsaiIdiot]

Wow everything’s looking healthy bro. Particularly interested about those NWM…mine never DONT shoot out that coarse growth that you mention, so it’s great to see that you can get them to chill the fuck out by getting them a little root bound. Cheers man, looking forward to part 2.

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

Ya, I was happy about that too. When are we going to see some videos from you? No pressure, we’ll maybe a little. Ya, things are looking good. Thanks for commenting.
