Larch Bonsai: Repotting My Unusual Larch Tree

[@maryweber4176]

Ryan, just please keep on doing what you do. You obviously are very talented, some people are never satisfied. I was disappointed that you left out the music, but it's interesting to hear you talk thru your ideas. I want that tree.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you Mary, i put a bit music on the wiring bit and that was it lol ;)

[@joegarland4885]

Hi Ryan it's good to have a tree to play with, bonsai can be a serious business at times so have fun with the Larch, quite often you learn something useful. The Larch looks so much better after the work you have done, ugly duckling will never be a gorgeous swan but who cares, it has a good flat root base and looks ok in the pot mate. Hope your cold has gone by the time this airs mate.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Hi Joe Buddy, hope you are keeping well and staying nice and warm in this cold spell. Everyone needs a tree just to play and see how they can turn it in to something getting better thanks ;)

[@mick681]

Looks like a bonsai to me and a bloody nice one at that. Many people would be proud to own that including me. Another great job Ryan as per.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Micky m8, fingers crossed it turns out ok ;)

[@JudyGSD]

Man, I’d be proud to own that tree! Beautiful 🙌❤️

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you ;)

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Cool the way you worked on the top. This will be a one mighty fine looking tree come spring.

[@houghtonbonsai]

I hope so Tom lol cheers m8 ;)

[@RolandWampers]

nice work. How you handled the apax was a nice surprise. I was convinced you were going to chop it. You did much better.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Roland👍, it was about to get chopped of m8 lol ;)

[@dkstott29]

Foist....you're overdue for working on Scott's silent auction tree 😂😂

[@houghtonbonsai]

Nice one Dave, Pmsl ;)

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

That is one cool larch. I like the root system on it. Great work on the roots.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Tom, Much appreciated ;)

[@trybonsai]

I think that's a display worthy tree... It's unique and is shaping up really nicely buddy 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@houghtonbonsai]

Maybe in a few years if it all goes well Try, we will just have to see how it turns out buddy ;)

[@trybonsai]

@@houghtonbonsai I've got confidence brother!! It's gonna be a great piece of artwork making it an amazing display piece with a great story to be told 🎉🎉🎉

[@houghtonbonsai]

@@trybonsai Thanks buddy ;)

[@peterwhitehead34]

Cracking video Ryan always good to see you work on larch. It may not be to some people's taste but I think it's got something about it. Me, I like it. 😊👍

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Peter m8ty, i like playing with weird trees haha, i think it might look good in a few years ;)

[@grahamharlow7471]

Hey ryan that's great work, I like it and you did great with it, so wot if it's a bit wacky.. it's summat different.👍

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Graham, it's wacky like its owner lol ;)

[@grahamharlow7471]

@houghtonbonsai 🤣

[@MarksJapaneseGarden5]

Lovely bit of work Ryan love how you transformed the tree and i loved the 2 twisted trunks be great to see it next year once its had some feed and sunshine on it mate! Keep up the great content keep safe buddy.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Mark m8ty👍, yeah it should look well next year fingers crossed, keep safe m8ty ;)

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

This is the sort of stuff I really enoy watching - I think this will really stand out in a few more years as those two trunks continue to knit together. Really fun project to watch Ryan - cheers :)

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Xav m8ty, i like trying new stuff just hope it turns out ok ;)

[@PhillipWaterman-f9u]

Nice job Ryan keep up the good work my friend

[@houghtonbonsai]

Cheers Phillip m8ty, i will try lol ;)

[@KennetDeBondt]

I like it. If you put 2 extra trees in, it will be round in a few years.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Kennet, if i get some more this year i will try your idea sounds good ;)

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Looks great thanks for the video. Cheers

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@PBwarfare]

Doesn’t look too bad for a shile of pite!! Will look great in a couple of years

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks m8 ;)

[@mmjnice97]

I hate when people say this will never be an bonsai because 50% of the time those trees turn out better then the one's you think have much more potential.

[@houghtonbonsai]

You are right there Marcus, fingers crossed this one does ;)

[@RoyColvin]

Ryan would you do a short film on apex’s in larch what is wright and wrong or what looks true to nature

[@houghtonbonsai]

i have a few more to come Roy, i will try and explain a bit when i get round to doing them m8 ;)

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌👌

[@houghtonbonsai]

Cheers Bruce 😉

[@jenscerulis5482]

Hi Ryan, is there a reason you repotted the larch now and not wait until the buds start to color?

[@houghtonbonsai]

Hi Jens, i have always done my larch and even Hawthorns at this time of year m8, this is the time of year when you buy them bare rooted so that's why i repot. Never had any problems ;)

[@houghtonbonsai]

i am full of cold i can not even breath lol. are that might be the Tabs haha

[@angry9901]

🥃

[@houghtonbonsai]

cheers m8 ;)

[@Bonsaicrazy]

Nice Ryan not bad for a pile of shite 😂😂😂😂😂 So people are not liking the music and fast forward Ryan ?? 👊👊

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Andy m8ty, you mean Shile Of Pite haha.. some do i have a couple of ppl that like my music. I am going to try and explain a bit better m8 in stead of the fast fowards i hope lol

[@Bonsaicrazy]

@ yeah mate that’s cool fella I like it dude 👊👊

[@houghtonbonsai]

@@Bonsaicrazy Cheers Bro

[@gregoryh4601]

Sorry this Problem is in FAA hands

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks I guess Gregory 😂, I don’t know what FAA is 🤷‍♂️😉

[@danielwintherjensen95]

No, don't repot it yet, you should have waited until the spring or until 2026, never work with root and THREAD together times, then you kill trees, take one thing from time to time, do one thing, half a year😮😮😮😡

[@houghtonbonsai]

I Do it all the time m8, this time of year is good this is the time when you buy them bare rooted. Check out my earlier videos ;)

[@danielwintherjensen95]

Okay, but I think it's stupid what you do to such a beautiful tree, it uses all its energy in the spring and can already be killed by what you're doing, now I'm repotting all my trees this spring in that climate. I live in Denmark and it is best to repot Lion-falling trees there. In the spring like over by you in England

[@houghtonbonsai]

@@danielwintherjensen95 Don't blame you m8, spring is good ;)

[@danielwintherjensen95]

Okay luckily it's not my problem you kill a beautiful tree good evening to you

[@angry9901]

@@danielwintherjensen95don’t take it personally, he wouldn’t blame you. And if it survives and thrives, you have learned something… for free. 🥤
