How to Turn Maple Cuttings into a Bonsai Forest

[@greasylimpet3323]

Thanks for more practical advice. I'll see if my Trident cuttings take alright. Yours certainly grew well!

[@bonsaiheirloom]

Great! Please keep us updated on your Trident's progress!

Thanks for the information! I'm trying to do my forest project with oaks grown from last's year seeds.

[@bonsaiheirloom]

Best of luck! Sounds like a very fun project!

I love bonsai forests….I really struggle to get hold of trident seedlings here in the UK 🇬🇧…if I had as many as you, I’d have forest everywhere!!….. great video! Thanks

[@brianparnell2256]

RPSEEDS sell them

[@japanesemaplesbonsai7133]

@@brianparnell2256 I did buy some from there last year but struggled to germinate them, thank you anyway.

Field maple has very similar looks and growth habit of you want a substitute

[@jeffhurst4744]

Very good. I’ve located and potted up, over several weeks in late September to early October, over a dozen volunteer Maples seedlings. They came up from maple seeds on mature trees and grew amongst shrubbery/bushes/rocks/etc nearby. Next year I’ll do what you’ve shown here. Thanks for more information on making bonsai grouping/forest setting. Thank you Mr. C. 😁

[@bonsaiheirloom]

Wow sounds like a great project you have planned!

[@HONGVINH-BONSAI]

Great ❤

Hello Milton, any chance you will do a video on how to do bonsai cuttings? Does it matter what time of the year you do your cuttings in the west?

[@bonsaiheirloom]

I've done a video on how to propagate your bonsai cuttings. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKnMp6mtrraVrLc Semi hardwood for elm and trident cutting can be done almost all year round with a high rate of success.

[@frankbrake7689]

I'm learning alot from your channel. Although I have no bonsai yet. My thing for the past decade has been native american marker trees in ohio. It's also really interesting to me the similarities. From the trees to the serpent mound to the yellow emperor. Thank you for what you do.

[@bonsaiheirloom]

Best of luck to your trees! Thanks for watching :)

[@louismilienou5442]

Nice video can you move stale in I forest please explain

[@bryanmorrion9503]

You really have green thumbs Milton i live in a warm environment and can’t get clippings to rock like yours. 🦘🦘🦘👍

[@bonsaiheirloom]

Thanks, but I believe you can do the same! Try following my instructions in this video and see if it helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKnMp6mtrraVrLc

[@illmaticnj1991]

How long did it take to get to that size? I’ve been growing a maple for 3 months. It’s tiny. Seems like it’s taking forever lol

[@erikrasmussen9068]

Ive had zero luck with cuttings :(

[@bonsaiheirloom]

Please check out this video I did on rooting cuttings! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKnMp6mtrraVrLc

[@loladownz5117]

How do you select the best roots

[@bonsaiheirloom]

To simulate the exposed roots (Nebari in Japanese) of tree grown in open space. I try to make roots grow out radially and not cross over. You may recall in one of my videos I use a reciprocal saw to make radial cuts between roots.
