Brazilian Raintree Design

A young Brazilian Raintree on its road to Bonsai transformation. How do you style a young plant for bonsai? And how to then grow it out?
In this video I will show the choices for a new Brazilian Raintree Bonsai from seed.

Styled it beautifully. Blessed to have access to these great videos . 👍

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you kindly!

A really enjoyable video to watch Jelle. I have found that if my plastic humidy container is half full of water then it acts in the same way and everything inside roots brilliantly :)

[@GrowingBonsai]

Great tip!

[@Vaasth]

love the format of you videos, to show the progress all in one, not that i wouldn't like more videos but i would forget that there is a follow up in the future :)

[@GrowingBonsai]

Glad you like them! It is indeed what I often miss in videos and try to avoid a bit in mine!

Gute Entwicklung, ein schöner Bonsai

[@GrowingBonsai]

Danke mein Freund!

[@adrianfriz2455]

Nice Tree 🙋‍♂️

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Bonsaiandknives]

You are a lucky guy. Everything you are doing at your Bonsai is working well. Almost! Thanks for the video. 2 weeks ago a thunderstorm threw all my big bonsais down. 7 of 10 bowls broken, 4 trees with broken tops. But I still will go on! Regards from the south of Germany

[@GrowingBonsai]

Ohw, that is annoying! But realize, things go wrong everywhere all the time too. The longer you are at it, the better yu get at avoiding big problems.

[@zimmy1958]

Thanks.

[@sueb1317]

Brilliant vid! Really enjoyed learning about the quirks of Brazilian Rain Trees. Beautiful bonsai well on its way to success!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@deineath]

Nice transformation. Useful tips as always!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you so much!

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

That is a beautiful tree!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you so much!

[@ClicioBarrosoFilho]

Nice video as always, Jelle. One of the siblings of your BRTs from seed is now in the ground. I can assure you it has already fattened quite a bit, and I guess it will be a fast process for a nice thick bonsai. Good luck with yours!😊

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thanks for the info! I wish I could grow them in the ground!

[@Jey125]

Delema solved 🤣 unbelievable this difference in an at first seemingly uninteresting tree 🤓 I would enjoy to visit your garden

[@GrowingBonsai]

So nice of you :D

[@susancochranee1236]

can you please do a short video on how to grow a raintree in a zip lock bag?

[@tomekeziowski4293]

Beautiful trees. But tell me why do you keep them in bonsai pots while they are in development stage?

[@GrowingBonsai]

They are in large pots. And they spent 6 months per year in the living room so it might as well look nice.

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thx!

[@susancochranee1236]

when you put branch in zip lock do you keep the bag closed and should I keep it inside on the window? I am eastern time NY

[@rutgerw.]

Was gonne guess you fed that juicy offcut to your bunnies but apparently Brazilian Raintree is toxic... Thanks for another interesting video.

[@GrowingBonsai]

:)

[@ARTificialDreams]

Hoi Jelle! Any chance there will be tombola this year for the saplings/cutoffs? I would be very interested!! I would also be interested in buying one from you. Let me know! Cheers.

[@GrowingBonsai]

I very much doubt there will be. Where are you located?

[@ARTificialDreams]

@@GrowingBonsai Germany. (/nederland (op bezoek bij familie))

[@thenaturecreater8906]

Great video Mr jelle! I still got the cutting you Sendt me last year. Brazilian raintree. Have it out in the greenhouse still. When do you recommend I take inside. The cooler weather is coming to Norway this weak. But it stil 10 degrees at night and about 30 to 40 celcius in the greenhouse if the sun shines

[@GrowingBonsai]

I will bring them in this weekend. When the greenhouse drops regularly below 10?

[@thenaturecreater8906]

@GrowingBonsai i took them in a month ago. We hit minus 6 Celsius. They really took off when I took them inside! I have 3 cuttings on the go from it. Thanks again jelle!

[@bharatraj8915]

Thanks for the video, very to helpful. I live in there UK and have not been able to find any place that sells seeds or cuttings of Brazilian rain tree. Can I please buy some cuttings from you?

[@GrowingBonsai]

I am afraid that shipping plants to the UK requires all sorts of permits which I cannot provide / have

[@bharatraj8915]

Did not think of that. Thanks for considering.

[@sharicochems6299]

How old are these trees from seed? Great video.

[@GrowingBonsai]

I am not comepltely sure, but I think winter 2018/2019 when I planted the seeds, which would make them 4 years

[@mcbabs7495]

Très intéressant, merci pour la vidéo!

[@GrowingBonsai]

You are very welcome!

[@Bonsaicrazy]

I’d like to buy one of your Brazilian rain trees please Jelle How would I go about that my friend?

[@GrowingBonsai]

It is a bit tricky to get them to the UK. I am not able to organize the paperwork for it.

[@goinsvirginia]

Looks like a mimosa in US.

[@GrowingBonsai]

mimosa looks similar, but is quite a distant species. Both belong to the fabacea plant family.
