FIRST Steps in Turning a LEMON TREE into a Bonsai

[@charlesmaunder]

Adorable little black bunny. Their cuteness masks their evil, destructive nature. I still want one, they're adorable.

[@planterbanter]

Couldn’t have put it better myself 😂

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Great video, that bunny is the cutest thing I've ever seen!

[@planterbanter]

Wow thanks Nigel. Not sure how you found my video but I love your channel!!Hopefully it’ll look like one of your lemon bonsais sometime in the future. I’ll ship you a rabbit we have too many 😂

[@TheBonsaiZone]

@@planterbanter If I didn't have about 15 wild bunnies in the yard already, I'd take one! I found your channel through Sam, the Aussie Bonsai Bloke, he gave you a shout out on his community section!

[@planterbanter]

Ah yes they’re not good for any type of gardening enthusiast.. especially for bonsai! Cheeky beggars. Ah I see, Sam the legend. Take care Nigel!

[@BostonBonsaiIdiot]

I honestly don’t mind the trunk scarring. You see plenty of that in nature. Nice haul!

[@planterbanter]

Thank you!! I don’t mind it either. I think it can add character when done right, for sure!

[@wildlifegardenssydney7492]

Thank you for saving them. I especially love lemons.

[@planterbanter]

I can't help it I have to save any tree that I know I can haha!!

[@stephaniewhittaker1665]

Great timing for this video. Have got an apple tree that I want to create into bonsai. Good handy tips to have and love the bunnies😀😀

[@planterbanter]

Nice Steph! Is it a field grown bonsai?? Yes they are cute but little terrors too haha

[@stephaniewhittaker1665]

@@planterbanter it’s just an apple tree that’s been in a pot for quite a few years and the pot is breaking up😁

[@backbudbonsai]

Love the video! Thanks for sharing.

[@planterbanter]

Thanks for watching friend!

[@JOAMON]

Hey PB, This is cool! An immediate bonsai, very luring! :) Another great video! Keep it up! ~NammaN~

[@planterbanter]

Hey NammaN, some nice movement in the trunk for sure, just gotta wait a few years now :P

[@bluesbonsai6718]

Looks amazing to me, but I can’t really talk because I’m just starting looking into and working on bonsai.

[@planterbanter]

Thanks Blue's Bonsai. Being 25 myself, I am relatively new to bonsai too, but hopefully in 3/4 years will be able to have a little bit more development and in 5-10 years will be starting to look good :)

[@watermelontrevor60]

doing both ways, i couldn't agree more. Some of the scarring with this way can be nasty, but for the amateur or hobbiest it is definitely the quickest way to go. But you can save like 20 years so...developing stock from seedlings and slip potting also effective and gives it a perfect look, but question is can ya wait the few decades lol. Doing both gives you quicker results, and will give you more patience to wait for the others to develop. ALTHOUGH THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU PUT A TWIG IN A BONSAI POT AND CALL IT A BONSAI PEOPLE.!!!! lol

[@planterbanter]

Agreed!

[@mrs.doubtwater4688]

Cool- will there be baby lemons on that Bonsai?

[@planterbanter]

Probably not baby lemons however over time/with correct pruning it will get some decent ramification and the leaves will become smaller and smaller giving it the look of a mature tree in a small pot.

[@damionb3916]

How do you get your hands onto so much material HAHA

[@sillies1]

Any updates?

[@planterbanter]

hello I'm unfortunately in Canada for a couple of years, however my good friend is taking care of some of my trees. When I return, I will bring an update.

[@andersnrregren9087]

Limon update plz

[@planterbanter]

I'll give an update soon, not much has happened in the last month since its been potted as it is only early spring. It's doing well. just some buds occurring. will give an update when more progess has been made.
