Repotting A Katsura Maple Forest!! - Greenwood Bonsai

[@allanchurm]

back in the day harry showed me his collection..seems like another liftime

[@almac2598]

Thanks Corin. Lovely group. You are correct about the Greenwood shears being sharp. I got careless a few days ago and sliced my thumb open with mine. Well on the mend now, wound closures removed, and Wife has said I can have my Bonsai tools back in a couple of days.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Be careful Al !

[@mikeswain9085]

Really good to see your Dad's hard work still flourishing and that's all thanks to your continued care and attention Corin. Great video, thank you for sharing.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks Mike, very important to maintain these priceless trees

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Beautiful group planting. And Katsura have wonderful colour in spring and autumn.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

They sure do !

[@robertobreglia9224]

Great forest,very compliments Corin!👍👍👍🔥

[@stevieboy826]

Stunning group.

[@jimp4037]

Corin I always look forward to watching your videos. You teach me a lot. Most of all you teach me not to be afraid to cut back branches and roots. When I first started off, that was scary. Thank you for sharing! Pennsylvania USA here.

Hey Jim! I’m in Hershey PA. Nice to see you here!!

[@KitakuBonsai]

@@jimp4037 hey thanks! Nice to have you on board! 😁 I’ve heard that larches and scots pines have been used heavily on reclaimed mine lands, especially in northeast PA. Do you know anything about that, or any spots to go dig?

[@jimp4037]

@@KitakuBonsai No I'm sorry I don't. 🙁

[@KitakuBonsai]

@@jimp4037 ah well, if I hear of any I’ll definitely make a video and you’ll know.

[@Alexei-j3i]

It's really a great feeling to be watching you working these wonderful trees. A pure pleasure, thanks a lot, Corin!

[@Rene_Voortwist]

This video is one of the reasons I appreciate your KZbin channel so much. Very, clear, down to earth and practical. Thanks for that! 👍

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@peterjohnson350]

What an impressive group. Nice to see your connection to your dad and pride in his original work. I'll now get cracking on with my larch group with a much better idea what I'm doing.

[@lenalhoest3542]

Wow beautiful ✂️

[@willbhm]

What an amazing instructional demonstration it never ceases to amaze me as to how much of the old roots you take out from the top and bottom that’s sure to look amazing in a few weeks

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks Will, It is on display at Greenwood Bonsai. Check it out next time you visit us !

[@davemead4504]

Such an impressive group corin! I think it’s great you’re still using your dads tools. Superb video sir! 🙏🏻

[@KitakuBonsai]

Really heartwarming! I hope my kids take up my tools someday

[@aflatminor]

Super!! I would find repotting such a fabulous large group like this a little daunting!!- Nice one Corin! 👍

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

That's exactly why I did this video, to show how its done.

[@phillipwaterman5721]

Yet again a beautiful bonsai forest6 Thanks corin keep up the good work mate

[@KitakuBonsai]

Truly a work of art!

[@gregoryh4601]

Corin. Very awesome work on Dad’s Forest Bonsai Trees landscape. So awesome to see you Walk in Dads footsteps .👍🏻

[@KitakuBonsai]

I hope my kids will as well. Here’s hoping!

[@markw6609]

Beautiful forest grouping and repotting! How nice to have some of your dad's trees and tools!

[@KitakuBonsai]

A beautiful legacy!

[@tacobonsai]

such cool trees individually and the planting of them together is stunning. The roots on the one in the front are simply fantastic. Thank you for sharing! I'm glad I can live vicariously through videos like this, I really am not prepared to care for and especially repot trees this large! You really put in the work!

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

There is not many groups / forests of this age / heritage /size, that's why I thought it would make a cool video.

[@tacobonsai]

@@greenwoodbonsaistudio you aren’t kidding! It’s a great planting, a fun video to watch.

[@nillysbonsai9636]

What a lovely legacy piece from you dad! Stunning group! aspirations 😊

[@KitakuBonsai]

For real man! 👍

[@Yurup]

Great timing, I bought a Katsura this winter, it is grafted thought so I mainly bought it to take airlayers from.

[@KitakuBonsai]

Those are beautiful cultivars!

[@acer_p_bonsai]

What a stunning tree, Corin. I appreciate your casual and approachable conversation. Thanks for sharing your passion and expertise. 🙏🏽 Looking forward to more maple videos from Greenwood!🪴🍁🔥

[@MrDavid0098]

Thank you so much for the share ! I have a lucky man this year, When you see in the Chinese’restaurant at Haselt in Belgium 😅. For me, you’re the Master Corin ! And what a beautiful tribute to your dad, congratulations !

Thanks, David, yes I remember

Nice, interesting and instructive video! That piece of cardboard works very well. Beautiful group and nice shovel... Thanks for sharing!

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

[@deepanjanbanerjee3491]

Loved the step by step walkthrough. Your father’s book was my introduction into bonsais 30+ years ago and so glad that his legacy is thriving in your able hands!

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks, our bonsai heritage is very important to us.

Superb Corin! What a group 👌

[@angieb6899]

A great improvement to an amazing group of trees. Great to see you work on such a sentimental group close to the heart. Love the end result 🪴

@@greenwoodbonsaistudio I understand 👍 looking forward to your next video can't wait 😀

[@joegarland4885]

Great work on your dads tree group which I have admired on numerous occasions over time Corin, I had the pleasure of meeting your dad when he came to the Nuneaton bonsai club I suppose it would be in the 90s my memory is not so good now but I do remember his demonstration of styling and putting together a juniper group of trees. I have his books still used for reference. Look forward to returning to the nursery when I can.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

that's cool. I still visit that bonsai club quite a lot on a regular basis

[@jeffhurst4744]

A fantastic grouping. You can see the TLC and efforts to maintain it. Great video on repotting large groupings. I don’t use 100% Akadama where I’m located. Besides the $$$, use grits/lava/etc along with pumice and aged fir bark for well draining soil. Seems to work great here. Like your videos; keep them coming.

[@aaamud]

Great forest! That pot!

[@thetreestyler]

Awesome forest Corin!

[@jam884]

Interesting corin, also impressed how u r taking ur dad’s legacy onwards

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks, it is our legacy and foundation at Greenwood Bonsai.

Ammmmmazing

[@mattcoleman4238]

Great video. Love your trees and your fabulous information. One of my favorite channels on KZbin. Keep up the great work.🎉

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thank you! Will do! Corin

[@dimitrylowie]

Again nice video. Nice to see your dad's work from 30 years ago is still going strong. That certainly eats a lot of akadama haha. If your dad has planted this 30 years ago, where they smaller trees to begin with or already quite large? Greetings!

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

They were about this size, but less branched and refined.

[@williamingleby3327]

Wow, a brilliant video. really enjoyed this.

[@geraldrandall1566]

Stunning planting

[@akabaconator7311]

Your videos are absolutely awesome. To someone new to the bonsai hobby have you ever had a tree die from a root trimming

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Probably yes due to 1000's of re-pots, but VERY seldom. Any losses usually due too stretching timeframes of re-potting work.

[@ianrowe9337]

Brilliant job well done...

[@leviduve4001]

Beautiful!

[@yvonneluong1753]

Very interesting video.

[@BogdanNYou]

you're an inspiration! :) Thank you!

[@simonjones686]

Thanks Corin (and the team at Greenwood Bonsai) the planting looks amazing. I’m still learning about trees/horticulture etc. and I noticed that the majority of the trimmed branch was healthy red, the primary branch was wood/lignified and the bit in the middle sometimes looked grey / dead.? I would have assumed this and cut the branch off (hence I’ve got a garden full of sticks, not quite). Is this therefore a branch in development between both stages, hopefully my question made sense.

[@vancegilmore245]

I hope the moss grows back soon. It was nice.

[@Martin-jt3zu]

At the start of the video, there is a ficus in the background (left of picture, behind the large maple in the basket) any styling videos on that one perhaps?

[@MrSuperG]

That tiny forest looks amazing well done how much is something like this and the one in the background

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

I can't put a price on a creation that means so much.

[@737ngJR]

What a beautiful composition. I'm just curious though, did your dad planted the tree in the same size pot or has it been up potted since? 🙂

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

It was in a smaller pot originally. But I put it into this one about 15 years ago.

[@missaleromanum5614]

When you don't bare root something like this how do you replenish the soil in the middle of the root ball?

[@emiliosaita6704]

Grandissimo!

[@lukeselvon]

Hi Corin, do you not sieve your akadama? (obviously) but I guess my question is, doesn't leaving the dust in it mean you have to repot at shorter intervals?

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

No, but I use high grade Akadama, and when first watering the dust gets washed out so no issue.

[@AlexBraunton]

Corin: "it's a two man tree" Dave: "hold my beer" He just yeeted that up like a bloody strongman competition 😂

You certainly have a lot of bonsai. How do you water them all? You're not going to walk through the thousands of trees with a watering can, are you?

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Some are under automatic watering systems, some we have to water by hand.
