Hawthorn Bonsai Pruning & Repotting - 3 years On From Collected Material My 1st Hawthorn!

In this video I am working on my Hawthorn. It has been sat in the pot for 3 years now and I am eager to get the tree out to see how well it has come along!
I start by cutting back and pruning while the tree is sturdy in the pot. I try to work out a potential Apex.
Deciding what branches to keep and which ones are no good for the shape and style I’m going with.
Then it was time to unveil the roots!
My homemade pot wasn’t suitable in the end for Hawthorn - But this is great motivation to build a new pot!
I hope you enjoyed the video! If you did why not let us know by giving the video a like and drop us a comment.

Well done bud. Trees looking great. Your principal of bonsai on a budget I love. You've got a nice tree and it's cost you very little. Also not rushing it into a bonsai pot is also a winner. All the best Sam.

Nice tree glad you put it back in that training pot as it looked healthy. Keep up the good work.

[@nillysbonsai9636]

Thank you Bryan! I put a Scot’s pine in that pot for now it will still have plenty of room, I want to see how it holds up over winter 🥶

I'm scared of thorns but you did it easily. Thanks for sharing valuable information. New subscriber here from Sikkim, India

[@nillysbonsai9636]

I cut a lot of hawthorn hedges you inevitably end up with a few in your hands! A Light grip and you get a warning! Thank you 🌱

[@ixhilkalaskiiver792]

nice

[@nillysbonsai9636]

Thanks 🙏

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Nice thorns on this tree. They have to be sharp and a half. Smart thinking wearing gloves to prune and wire.

[@nillysbonsai9636]

A light touch required :D

[@elcazadordebonsais9867]

Buen trabajo

[@nillysbonsai9636]

Thank you!

[@charlesmaunder]

Love the pot. How did you make the texture?

[@nillysbonsai9636]

Thank you, I made a round foundation pot on a sand mould then literally flicked mortar at it :0 I’m going to make a video on a similar style pot this summer with an interesting paint job!

[@BassRepublic89]

Aaa man that pot looks unreal 👌 , do you sell any of them ?

[@nillysbonsai9636]

Thank you! Not at the moment unfortunately as they take me too long and I get attached to the uniqueness of each pot :D. Also I’m still refining and testing them, just out of curiosity for myself. But I’d recommend you have a go at making one just patience time and a little craft! Thanks again for the kind comment
