Fieldgrowing Maple Bonsai is easy ( Cut everything off )

Field growing maple bonsai trunks is one thing in particular.. Regular pruning of roots and branches to induce taper in the trunk and facilitate the development of a nice root spread where all roots are evenly sized.
Every two years or so ligt the trees. Prune back long branches and work on the roots to get a nicely tapered trunk.

Quite impressive result in 7 just years. Very impressive and interesting structure.

Wish I had a field to grow big trunks in😁

[@GrowingBonsai]

Me Too! I am just renting one!

[@Thousand.cranes.bonsai]

Do you have space for any big pots ?

[@Ad_DOOM]

Do you dig it up every 2 years and cut back the roots before popping it back in the he ground or just cut back the top growth?

[@fishmut]

I would say he planted it in a pot , not sure why he would dig it up otherwise.

[@GrowingBonsai]

I generally alternate pruning tow and bottom growth to be honest. In this case it just made for a nicer examples to do both.

[@GrowingBonsai]

I replanted it in the ground. It was not down ground-growing. More frequent digging and pruning gives smaller cut-marks and aids in nebari development.

Wow.…. Will that really survive with all the clipping? Love to see updates. Thanks!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Yes it will it is now about 2 ft tall again..

Nemawashi (root pruning) + cutback. Nice technique. If u do air layers on sacrificial branches it lower the energy of plant?

[@GrowingBonsai]

I do believe i t puts a strain on the tree, yes. The roots supply the part that is being layered with water and nutrients, but the rtee does not get anything from the top, thus weakning the motherplant.

[@_mu.]

@@GrowingBonsai thanks, i asked because i wanted to try on different acer buergerianum (1 layer for each). But strangely they suffer apical disease, each sacrificial branch is dried out and blackened. I cut away and they are fine. Dunno why (maybe rained a lot of days and was cold). Thanks for tips

Wait till you find out about how to propagate aroids

[@GrowingBonsai]

I know, right!

[@davidhull5999]

When is the best time to do this type of pruning?

[@maboyles90]

Spring time before new growth.

[@GrowingBonsai]

As mentioned, early spring is optimal, just before all starts pushing

[@DadsAnime]

When do you know it's time to move on from field to pot?

[@GrowingBonsai]

@@DadsAnime when the main trunk is there, and possibly the basic primay branches if it is a big tree.

This work I do in the last breaths of winter. @Bodiesbyjason It is now growing well and hopefully next year I can show how the wounds are closing.

are you doing this spring or fall '

late winter!

"every two years" do everything in the video and replant back in the ground?

pretty much

[@89bavaro89]

@@GrowingBonsai It seems implied from the "every two years, but it's unclear in the video. How many times(or how long) do you replant it in the ground before putting it in a pot?
