Creating Bonsai from Nursery Stock - Atlantic Cedar - Greenwood Bonsai

[@jfdb59]

Corin, you and Peter Chan are the only ones I watch on youtube. You two have helped me tremendously in my hobby. You are a true artist with a great sense of scale and proportion without a hint of being pretentious. Thank you for your efforts and I wish you all the success you deserve.

[@KePenArs]

Pues mira a David Benavente y sabrás lo que es trabajar un bonsai de verdad.

[@engraciabailey3478]

Corin, you’re amazing, so confident and creative . Making an ordinary looking tree into something magical looking one ! Go on with your “ bad”self !

[@snowman3773]

Love the fact that you don't speed anything up on the video. It really helps in understanding why you are doing things you do. Thanks, Mate!

[@aflatminor]

"The problems are all on the floor now", Cracked me up that! 😂😂

[@MaybeBonsai]

I enjoyed that bit about the magic potting stick!

[@tinus3612]

In the Netherlands these trees are not often used as bonsai material, but now that I have seen this. I can't wait to buy one myself to make it into a beautiful bonsai

[@marcelwesterhoff]

I always get very jealous seeing this kind of material. Living in the Caribbean part of the Netherlands it won’t last for a week over here…

[@Galv1nBass]

Do you know if we have this type of material in garden centers? Like an Intratuin or something?

[@JennyBesserit]

Corin is Bonsai Hagrid. I will never be able to see anything else and nobody can change my mind.

[@lump88]

Corin, you never cease to amaze me. I thoroughly enjoy when i have 30 or 40 mins with a coffee to just watch you work. Really not much more to say today than that. Thanks

[@iamshredder3587]

You take that long to drink one cup of coffee?

[@lump88]

@@iamshredder3587 it's called a yeti

[@iamshredder3587]

@@lump88 -a yeti? Like as in bigfoot? I don't get it? Bigfoot when he's not roaming the woods photobombing on people who use potato's as cameras he freelances as a barista and master of the long lasting fine brew? I'm just playing dude. Though I really don't get how a yeti fits in.

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Superb video. This is what bonsai is all about - creating pieces of art from raw material.

[@johnrb9397]

Best bonsai work ive seen on youtube. Never seen a bad tree produced.

[@vectispete9415]

Magic potting stick! excellent.

[@Worzel_Gummidge_71]

Brilliant! Just brilliant! I took a 50 minute journey down to your place yesterday, your brother was most helpful and informative, the intention was to purchase a gift for my parents, well! I ended up buying a Bonsai for my parents and one for myself😊 I think I have found a new hobby. P.S. love the videos, very informative and well presented.

[@carloscruz6536]

Great video very informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing something more basic I enjoyed 👍👍🇵🇷

[@frankpagan1294]

🇵🇷 agree ! From California

[@ernsttencate6699]

Nice video. I like your style of making a video and the way you work with trees. Blue cedar I am thinking about it. Buying one I mean. Of course a like👍👍

[@davidharrison1586]

The narrative outlining the thought process and considerations for the trees is very good. Great to watch.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thank you David, glad you enjoyed it

[@peterburns519]

absolutely awsom demo you are a legend. we ask you provide. the new wire cart is great .keep up the awsom posts. dead set legend 🙌

[@NFSCfan]

I love Corin's eye for trees -h e sees such simple, elegant, and beautiful 'solutions' or designs. Thank you for explaining your thinking so clearly, you are a real talent when it comes to teaching.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thank you so much!

[@MitchellMasilun]

LMAO "The problems are all on the floor now." I'll have to remember that line for the future.

[@HelmBiru]

Nice bonsai collection👍👍👍

[@calvinchau5479]

Enjoy seeing artists work on raw/stock materials and transform them into a nice looking bonsai. Cheers from Cali

[@iamshredder3587]

I like it when they do it for the long term health and growth and styling of the tree.. and can still look cool and have a general bonsai look. But don't much like the trend of all the "magic demos" of finding a really nice prebonsai stock...often collected or grown and trained for bonsai.... and getting some big shot to come in and transform it into a "finished" tree in an hour or whatever. And do everything to it that should be done slowly over many many years even all the jinning and carving and lime sulphering etc so as to get there before and after shots for their website or whatever. Basically with the goal of showing off and making themselves look good and their profile... not the tree. And beginners see and think that's normal and mimick it. But don't tell them that they've just killed that nice tree and fine potential bonsai stock and that the vast majority of those are sacrifice trees that are discarded after. Idk just don't seem right to me. This guy seems to do it pretty good though .

[@chuckycheese1]

2nd Tree came out Great, Trunk looks Massive with the mini branches... Well done!! 🫡

[@thom-novi]

Very nice wire caddy... Almost makes me want to start a Bonsai business just so I can make one, haha.

[@timbatrombone]

That wiring table is gorgeous

[@melanesianbonsai]

it is impossible for me to make a bonsai from this tree because it does not grow in our place. but the idea and mindset of making this bonsai can be used to make bonsai from other trees. Thank you for sharing ..

[@denhardy7238]

I watched your video a couple of year’s ago and it inspired me to have a go at my own five year old tree 😎Dennis

[@kenfrea]

Great job and you make it look so easy. Hope to get over to see you some day. Thanks

[@mrincredibox]

nice bonsai brother 👍👍 salam kenal, terima kasih 🙏🙏

[@DownButNotOutYet]

Fantastic work saving these Blue Cedars. Loved the manner you changed the structure of the trees and I can see they will grow into beautiful bonsai specimens. A very good lecture especially removing all the top useless soil and mess, opening up the top and keeping the roots undisturbed, by doing this, the tree will not be into too much shock. I prefer the bigger specimens they are more resilient to getting hard pruned. The video was most enjoyable and encouraging to also try our hand. I would like to see a professional Bonsai Grower close should I loose nerve he/she can rescue my attempt, it must e quite daunting giving it a go for the first time.

[@nazariojuarez3156]

Amazing work, live video, is incredible the kind of work you do..

[@lc6682]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me, I really appreciate it

[@nadmiet7733]

Very enjoyed the video. Thank you for the pointers. Learned alot. I was thinking of my next hobby and this is it.

[@patriciatatich3014]

Appreciate this training vid using nursery stock, your narration through the branch selection and the detail wiring ~particularly the apex~ plus your commentary on the (2) trees. Thank you.

[@jacktaylor6190]

Oh if only we could get into your brain especially your thought process! Great video once more, thanks!

[@gavinhartley5454]

I could watch your demos all day!

[@louisetwinberrow5508]

[@philtudor6079]

Thank you Corin for giving your time and sharing your expertise. The learning curve in bonsai is ever expanding, in others words, none of us, from beginners to experts will never stop learning. Love all your videos as many others do too . . . Keep up the good work.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks very much Phil. Glad you like the vids.

[@MarioLopez-jd1rc]

@Greenwood Bonsai Dear did Atlantic cedar air layering? or by cutting? I want to get out of my tree. in South America there is no such species

[@allanchurm]

do appreciate these video went to a fair few or your dads demos in the past at events and at greenwood years ago..do like how you explain clearly what your about to do and show the results thank you..... will be there in spring to get a larger pot as a tree 43 years old bought from greenwood back in the day when your mum sold heathers is getting too big for the pot it is in.

[@prataelena4211]

Another inspiring and educational tutorial! I watch your videos again and again, with so much interest and enjoyment. Thank you very much, Corin

[@willbhm]

Yet Another fantastic educational video from relatively cheap garden centre material, it’s amazing how easy you make it look, never ceases to amaze me how much more expensive they appear at the end of the demonstration 😜 and what can I say that bench is stunning 🤩

[@savvaspapaloizou2600]

Basic staff.. Beautyfull work.. Thank you very much...

[@natrjack965]

Hi corin I wish I had just 10% of your experience you amaze me every time you do work on a tree . I guess I started to late I am 56 now but way back in the eighties I did try bonsai but there was not a lot of information about those days and gave it up .thanks to you and many others I can now get the information I need .I will have to make a trip one day and see your amazing nursery.thanks for sharing your knowledge..

This is the first of your videos I've watched. I have subscribed as well. I am only beginning bonsai so I haven't actually done a tree yet, but I've learned a lot from you today and I look forward to watching more. Thank you.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Welcome aboard!

[@the3milestitcher]

@@greenwoodbonsaistudio Hi, it's Kate from Shetland again. I just wanted to ask if you sell young trees which can be kept to grow until they are ready to be made into bonsai. I have planted a few trees by seed but of course they will take some time to grow even a small amount. At the end of the first week in June I plan to buy a few trees. I'd like to buy from you because I feel your enthusiasm and professionalism is so impressive. Do you have some young trees for this purpose? PS I used to live and work in Nottingham!

[@junemoores9156]

Living in the high mountains of Arizona I'm enthralled with trees as they are mainly Ponderosa Pine. I'm constantly looking them and the Alligator Juniper. You're amazing in you concepts of a dwarf tree.
