Very impressive to pot up a Douglas Fir. They grow tall very fast in the Pacific NW. I was inspired to work on my juniper today. Every cut you make improves the tree a lot.

Thank you! Glad we could help you find inspiration on your bonsai progress.

An amazing transformation! I like to hear the philosophy, too. There is so much more to bonsai than just sticking a tree in a pot. Thank you -- and the tree's owner -- for sharing.

Dude if your new to bonsai I would suggest looking elsewhere for knowledge because this guy is a plethora of misinformation just take a look at that tree when he’s done and watch one of graham potters videos

[@KimaHolland55]

I wonder what else he found in the garden ! Great to see Robert interact with the client and teaching him how to clip and grow this larger bonsai. Hope to see more videos like this. Thank you

Thank you! We want to see what other hidden bonsais are there, too. He learned very fast and was able to trim quite a bit of this tree himself.

I have 3 Dougs I grew from seed, amazing how fat they are in 3 years and still pretty short, just potted one up in a bonsai pot finally, excited to see how it does over the summer.

Thank you! We often like to say that trimming a bonsai tree is like giving it a haircut. Trim off new growths and find the balance.

There was a lot of potential for showing of interesting movement in the trunk. What was the reasoning behind this potting angle? And that pot is MASSIVE for that compact root system. Won't that large container just enable the tree to keep elongating even more? Would it not make more sense to choose a smaller container so that the tree could start to develop tighter internodes? Just trying to learn and I'm confused by some of the choices made in this video.

[@AsiaPacificGarden]

@@TheRockTiger great questions! The reason behind why we potted it this way was ultimately the choice of the owner. We shared several different options and the formal upright was the choice they went with. Keep in mind, the tree will look different from your screen versus in person. As for why we chose the big pot, it's because it was spent growing in the ground for who knows how many years. If you pull a tree out from the ground and stick it in a small pot, it has high chances of damaging it. It's the same principal as collecting yamadori. You have to let it acclimate in a bigger pot for some time before moving it into a smaller pot. In the future, there is a high probability that this tree will be redesigned into a smaller pot and/or even making the tree shorter.
