Growing Bonsai Trunks in the ground

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Nice to see the variety of trees and techniques!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you! Happy to see you here again. On of these days I will show up in Canada to do a vide with you ;) Cheers!

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Always very informative Jelle. Keep up the great work 👍

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you so much!

[@gopibga]

Great content and info as always! Look forward for more vids! Subscribed! I mostly watch your channel and Heron's. You're like a younger version of Peter!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Welcome aboard! [don't tell Peter ;)]

[@thenaturecreater8906]

Yes I like one! The Brazilian raintree is doing amazing. Grew so much I had to cut it down in the greenhouse

[@GrowingBonsai]

Jay to raintrees!

Nice video Jelle!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you so much!

[@smokyhillbonsai-gerrettmor6373]

Thanks for this video! Last fall I planted several of my smaller trees into the ground hoping to grow bigger trunks. I'll reference this video as my trees grow in the garden!. Cheers!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Enjoy!

[@naturgeist]

Hey Jelle! Thanks for sharing, i really need to try this. On my Uncles farm there should be plenty of space. I've seen this only at Herons so far. Keep it up! Cheers 💚

[@GrowingBonsai]

:) Great to see you here too. You do not need loads of space, unless you have loads of trees. When will you be in this region?

Another superb video Jelle with loads of great ideas to take me forwards - my flower garden will be slowly transformed into a miniture woodland :) And yes please to any cuttings going begging, you can never have too many trees 🤔

[@GrowingBonsai]

Wonderful! Please do make sure you discuss the flowerbed transformation with other people that might use the garden! A tree is not worth a relationship!

[@roblena7977]

Hey this is a really good video. Phenomenal editing , good clear information without any time wasted. Also nice variety, I have a farm and there’s a lot of trees growing along the side that look just like this.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Much appreciated! I try to keep the message on track in my videos!

Bonsai im Gartenboden wachsen zu lassen ist nicht unbedingt immer der beste Weg. Wir haben hier bei uns so viele Kalksteine im Lehmboden, der nur wenige Zentimeter tief ist, dann kommt bereits Fels. Meine Acer Palmatum habe ich nach 2 Jahren wieder ausgegraben und in einen Teichpflanzkorb mit leicht saurer Substratmischung gepflanzt, weil sie in absoluter Starre verharrten. In zwei Jahren kein Zuwachs - eher immer weniger Äste. Nun bin ich gespannt, wie sie sich dieses Jahr in dem säuerlichen Substrat mit Mykorrhiza entwickeln. Ich danke Dir für all die vielen Videos, von denen ich bereits so viel lernen durfte.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Ja, danke, sehr wichtige punkte. Wenn mann schlechte Erde hat wirds schwieriger!

[@TheTickpicker1]

Another great timely video, just a few days ago I ground planted about 15 of my different seedlings to out for a couple years, thank you for this video.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Wonderful! WIsh you good growing!

Thanks Jelle for sharing.I got a few trees in the ground myself.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Cool! Wish you lots of luck growing them out!

[@TonysBonsai]

Nice video Jelle. Really enjoyed it!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Glad you enjoyed it! How ar eyour ground projects doing?

[@TonysBonsai]

All going pretty well thanks. Out of the 30 beech trees around 5 didn't make it, but considering they were dug up and left out on the side in a pile for a few days before I got them, I'm happy with that. All the rest are doing well apart from one hawthorn which is also brown bread!

[@richardmutt1033]

Very informative video, i’m new in this channel but i already love it! Thank you very much!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Happy to hear that! Welcome to Growing bonsai! Hope you find more videos you like!

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

You covered it perfectly. i wish I had been as methodical with all of my 'field grown' stuff. I used the slate and I kept cutting back but what I didnt do is check the roots regularly. Some of them are a real nightmare now!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Haha, I do admit I am not as good with all of them. I have a few hundred trees in the ground near my work and there I spent less effort!

Graag gedaan!

[@rebeccahunter725]

If you tried to dig anything when you were in Melbourne, you will understand my envy at your ease of digging! My clay is so hard, than even in winter it requires a strong boot on the spade to get even half depth in the ground. Nevertheless, ground growing works for trunks, and I am looking forward to lifting a few maples to check their progress . . .

[@GrowingBonsai]

Yeah, I know. The work involved is very different!

[@roblena7977]

@@rebeccahunter725 Not sure what you have in your area but I love razorback shovels and couldn’t garden without them. Damn that is a tough shovel for clay.

[@davidswa101]

[@s.guidry2222]

Thank you. I haven’t seen any videos like this one. So helpful

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you so much. What specifically makes this one different? I would love to make this channel in one that is different, so it helps me to know how you see this!

[@s.guidry2222]

It’s the only one I’ve seen that explains the process is slow in making a bonsai trees. And that you explain how to plant them in The ground with a piece of slate or a rock beneath the roots. I’ll be absolutely trying this At this point I have attempted making my own bonsai using other methods. Only one has been successful but I am going to keep trying with your methods. Thank you.

[@PeterJames468]

That was a very informative video Jelle. Thank you for showing us how you thicken the trunks. It is something I am going to now implement.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Glad it was helpful! Have fun growing those bonsai trunks!

My pleasure!

[@geraldrandall1566]

Surprised that your cuttings take by planting directly into the garden with no rooting hormone. Impressive.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Well.. I planted them. Now it is a matter of waiting to see whether they root! Sometimes they do, and sometimes.. They don't! This is mainly lazy planting from my side :)

[@lolpwndk]

Damn i really need a garden for this, but also because my balcony is full of trees

[@GrowingBonsai]

Well.. You can always go house shopping for your trees

[@bobcatbonsai]

Great video Jelle. I think I will do this with a few of my smaller trees this year and see how well they choose to take off. I like that tile underneath. Does it make a difference if it is a rough surface like a cinder block over something smooth?

[@GrowingBonsai]

I do not think it makes a difference, except that possibly roots grow partially into the cinderblock making it hard to get the plant off.

[@abydosianchulac2]

Can't wait to see what you mean by "fairy tale" bonsai: this Japanese maple branch I'm playing with has a similar dead patch by the root crown and I've been debating what to do with it when I cut the branch back to size.

[@GrowingBonsai]

I would say.. Watch this space, but it can take a bit of time. Check Walter Palls trees!

[@abydosianchulac2]

Oooooooohhhh, I get it now. That's a fantastic approach

[@theoschmitt3037]

Ein Teil meiner Bonsai standen vor einigen Jahren auch in meinem Garten. Nach 5 bis 7 Jahren wurden sie dann wieder in Schalen zurück gesetzt. Ich hätte noch mehrere davon ins Freibeet setzen sollen.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Naja, live and learn! Never to old to plant more in the ground? Wenn kommst du mahl mit zu mein Zuchtfeld in die Niederlande??

[@theoschmitt3037]

@@GrowingBonsai in Kürze, lieber Jelle. Sag an wann du Zeit hast.

[@koenvanmeerbeeck8724]

hey jelle....nice video again. I have some bonsai trees that I would like to put in the ground in my garden...when would be the best time to do this? planning to plant 2 acers and 2 ulmusses to fatten the trunk

[@GrowingBonsai]

When you plant them, make sure you work the roots, spreading them out. This sort of work is best done in early spring as trees are starting to wake up (Regular repot time). I also do this in late summer after the main heat is gone, hoping winter is more than a month away..

[@Bonsaiandknives]

Hi Jelle, do you know Bonsai Q channel from Japan? They have Areal more drastic method for Maples. I made some experience with the same method you are using. Thanks for this video

[@GrowingBonsai]

Yes, well known!

[@19Meikel62]

Hallo Jelle, kann man das jetzt im Herbst machen ? Grüße Michael😉

[@GrowingBonsai]

Konnte mann machen. Ich glaube jetzt wird es aber zu spat zum erwarten das neue Wurzeln kommen bist winter, also konntest du auch bis ende februar, nach die grosste frostzeit so etwas machen.

[@stevetippin]

I am very curious about the air layer that you left on over winter. Did it work? Did the substrate in the air layer pot freeze and do damage? I tried to air-layer a Japanese maple (outdoor tree) in the Toronto area and thought that the harsh winter would kill the branch. What is your climate/lowest winter temperature?

[@bsepower3209]

Hello Jelle, thank you for that great video with lots of information. I recently bought some young bonsai being 2-3years old and planted them in the ground. Can i leave them there during winter or should i dig them up and put them somewhere frost protected? Best regards from Germany

[@GrowingBonsai]

That very much depends on the species and your climate!

[@allanchurm]

i did that had a group of bonsai in the ground in a special marked off area..wifes father came up and started clearing area thinking the roped off area was a the space my wife wanted him to clear. while i was at work he dug up 22 bonsai and burnt them..the area my wife wanted clearing was furthur up the garden he turned up while both of us were out.. most of the trees were about 15/20 years old ..he was 78 years old ..what the hell do you say ???

[@GrowingBonsai]

I would say .. A bunch of words which you should not repeat here!? * man!

[@mihainechita5585]

Hi Jelle! Thanks for another cool video, I was wondering - I have bought a Japanese Red Maple seedling here in the UK without realizing that it needs its winter dormancy period (it did go through it this time though, also its been repotted in a bonsai training pot that has a substrate similar to the one you are making), I have it growing under a grow light right now and it seems to be thriving (it was a twig but now it's pushing its first leaves which are already redish in color). Do you have any advice for when the time comes, do I just take the tree out for a couple of hours (to acclimatize) then leave it fully out for the winter to get its dormancy period? or can it stay inside but in a cool (10 degrees Celsius) place? I should have had a look before purchasing it. I am now well aware that some trees need the "outside" but it's too late and I'd still love to take good care of it! (I also don't have much of a space outside cuz of the way standard UK flats are haha!)

[@GrowingBonsai]

For this winter I would move it outside when the main risk of frost is over. Then do not bring it back inside.

[@juanmarquez9140]

Hello Jelle I just subscribed to your channel, I saw a few of your videos very nice work I must say sir. So how can I get one of your maple bonsai I saw on one of your videos with your noise neighbor in the background lol. Well I must go for now hope to hear from you soon. Your friend Juan

[@GrowingBonsai]

Hi Juan, welcome to the channel! To be honest, I do not have a shop. Every once in a while I put a tree on the european bonsai auctions site. But that is about it. Not sure, is that what you mean?

[@abidingdude222]

Leatherback!!! Do you ever put them in some kind of container to pull up easier? I've seen that method but it doesn't seem like you do! Just curious. Do you ever do evergreens or conifers in the ground like this or mostly deciduous?

[@GrowingBonsai]

Na, a good spade does the work of pulling up for me. I have a bunch of junipers in the ground, however with wiring them during development sometimes I find pots easier.
