Developing a Bonsai Cherry from field stock - Following up!

[@JadedEvan]

These multi year videos are incredibly useful to see how to develop a tree properly. I appreciate the effort and planning you put into sharing it with us, this must be a lot of work!

[@giangianni503]

awesome, thank you so much, it's so rare to find real "work-in-progress" videos about bonsai!

[@jakesnelling8331]

Ahh, that feeling when you knock off a bud that you really wanted to keep... I did exactly the same a few weeks back.

[@rodmorgan7041]

It's unbelievable how many years it takes to have a beautiful bonsai. I just didn't realise it takes this much work, and my god you need patience. Thanks for this information 👍🏻

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Great update and clarification. I always find you funny Jelle - and people still remark on your humour in our collaborations. Another top quality video. I am just about to take my field grown cherry out of its container...nowhere near the same amount of growth though :)

[@GrowingBonsai]

In our collaborations I was dead serious. What, wait, they think I have humor? Na!

[@gaiabonsaicornwall]

That is very clear, detailed and informative on how to work with larger trees. Thank you for sharing :-)

[@GrowingBonsai]

You are very welcome

[@cynthiachurch8614]

Hi! I take it you love trees! I have been propagating European Tri-colored Beeches in California. It's a bit warm for them, but l can't help it! I love them! And l just cut some Maples. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm!

[@pesoverwatch9324]

Top job again Jelle, I learn so much watching youtube vids, but you are one of my favorites! Groetjes uit Belgie :D

[@JohnThurlbeck]

Wonderful story, Jelle! Thank you for sharing some great tips!👍

[@westvirginiaglutenfreepepp7006]

I appreciate all the time that goes into your videos. It fits the hobby 😁

[@GrowingBonsai]

I appreciate that!

[@JudyGSD]

Most of us all know you’re great sense of humour! Great video, beautiful tree! Can’t wait to see the progress this summer.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Haha, tell my wife I have a great sense of humor please!

[@natrjack965]

Great looking tree my friend.

[@bonsaiexpression]

Great story telling Jelle. Great video 10/10 👍🏼 cherry tree is coming on nicely.

[@joewatkins1667]

Enjoyed this video, a lot of work making a long term vid like this. Thank you!

[@PercyWarX]

I have an grafted nursery stock flowering cherry, my plant is to air layer above the graft. There is an bud forming below the graft. May develop that as an new tree and the air layers as new trees.

[@dermo1981]

Thanks Jelle. I love the cherry trees. They are always the first to signal that spring is here.... well in my garden at least! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@GrowingBonsai]

It is so great isn't it, when all of the sudden you get color in the garden!

[@joltFX]

I enjoyed the short and thought it was perfect haha. I just came to this link because I wanted to see what the paste was for

[@GrowingBonsai]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

Wow! That tree already looks amazing! It was a great acquisition!

[@bibnida7945]

Lovely! Spanish cherries, with small leaves, grow well here in Thailand. You've inspired me to get one.

[@waffeBuBBle]

Great video format, looking forward for more :)

[@GrowingBonsai]

More to come!

[@michelepenone334]

Thank you for all your videos!! I have learned a lot 🙏🏻🙋🏻‍♂️

[@GrowingBonsai]

Happy to hear that! Glad you popped by, and thx for the comment!

[@sueb1317]

Wonderful update Jelle! Very very helpful - really looking forward to applying your advise to my developing cherry plums. Thank you so much!!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Best of luck!

[@peter1718]

Fun project with great potential. Thanks for sharing. Already curious about the further progression.

[@GrowingBonsai]

You and me both!

[@Bonsaicrazy]

Great video Jelle 👊

[@GrowingBonsai]

Appreciate it!

[@koenvanmeerbeeck8724]

super video jelle

[@SebastianHanula]

Great project and an awesome video showing the progress. Thanks!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thanks for watching!

[@ToMu29]

Looks a lot like my Yoshino Weeping cherry, great specie to bonsai!

[@GrowingBonsai]

It would be cool, but I doubt it is weeping

[@kevinorr6880]

I like follow-up videos. Thank you.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Glad you like them! More to come :)

[@frenchfries2148]

I thought it was a great joke. Beautiful tree, Jelle

[@GrowingBonsai]

[@sistersrus2]

[@skippydeenice]

[@theoschmitt3037]

Sehr schöne Entwicklungsstadien, Jelle.😊

[@GrowingBonsai]

Dank dir, Theo!

[@KennetDeBondt]

Exelent video!

[@mikec3820]

some dont get the dry humor jokes.. it was a cool short tho jelle.. dont mind the trolls.. your trees and videos are always great!

[@johnmichaelrutherford3514]

great video Jell, btw I think this is a Yoshino flowering cherry tree.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Could be, lets see how it develops. And I know the grower, he might remember :)

[@harrietb2141]

You are good!😍🌳

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you 😋

[@rebeccahunter725]

"First remove all that is not bonsai" is what I am often saying to myself, now!! "Keep doing that".

[@johnswn255]

Nice one Jelle. Would it be an idea to scar the bark on the front side to encourage new roots to form? I always seem to have good results from that

[@GrowingBonsai]

Possibly! For now I will see what happens with frequent, invasive repots. But scarring the bark is known to help trigger new roots.

[@mcbabs7495]

Super! Merci pour la vidéo!

[@GrowingBonsai]

You're welcome! Good to have you here!

[@brandonhuynh5854]

Jelle, Nice cherry you have there. QQ, do cherry ok with trunk chop? where the bottom trunk does not have any bud or branches.

[@OmidasOnFire]

Great video! What's your experience with wiring cherry trees? I get some dieback when I try it, that's why it's cut&grow for me.

[@GrowingBonsai]

So far it has been pretty OK. I typically like to wire my trees during the growing season, maybe that helps?

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂

[@4officiel349]

Hi, I was thinking of buying a 2m tall prunus from a nursery, is it possible to pollard it and get a good bonsai?

[@GrowingBonsai]

Although it is possible, it requires some skill and loads of time. Also, often there are grafted which may pose additional challenges...

[@johnswn255]

Nice one Jelle. Would it be an idea to scar the bark on the front side to encourage new roots to form? I always seem to have good results from that
