Revisiting the eBay tree! - Greenwood Bonsai

In this video Corin revisits a tree that he styled from a nursery stock plant purchased blind from eBay. We wanted to make the video to show how you can make a bonsai from material you can easily buy online and inspire future bonsai artists to have a go!
It has nearly been 22 months since its initial styling and potting.
Check out part 1 - • Garden Centre Material...
The tree has responded really well and Corin gives the Cedar bonsai a trim and adds a few bits of wire to help the tree to progress.

Enjoyed that The tree is unrecognisable from how it was when coming from eBay It now looks like a much more expensive tree

[@angieb6899]

It’s looking great Corin. Further updates will be very much appreciated. 👩🏻‍🌾🪴

Corin’s ability to give a running commentary as he works not only makes the videos more interesting and informative but also I find that by attempting it myself while working on a tree it helps me focus on the objective.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thank you so much

[@willbhm]

What Another fantastic follow up it’s fascinating to see how the tree is progressing 😜

[@houghtonbonsai]

Great Video/Update on this tree Corin, it's amazing how a tree can develop in such short time. Nice work m8ty thanks for sharing

[@Trasselkalle]

Would be great to see this tree later on too, if the owner is ok with that. I appreciate the ugly duckling starts - they really help for the trees that I personally work on most!

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Yes the owners are regular customers so it will return. So we can follow it’s progress

[@Trasselkalle]

@@greenwoodbonsaistudio Brilliant - it is a great way to embrace that all things do not happen over night. In an otherwise busy world, having patience is a humbling and good thing to nurture.

[@Alfaro_Bonsai]

Beautiful bonsai👍👍

[@frazerskinner1714]

Effortless as always Corin cheers for the vid. Its starting to develop into a nice little tree.

[@williamingleby3327]

Wow, another great lesson.

[@japanesemaplesbonsai7133]

Lovely tree Corin. Thanks for the update. Cheers

[@markkenyon4855]

love your instructional videos.

[@peterjohnson350]

The tree is looking lovely from all angles. Nice work.

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Great looking tree by the way :)

Beautiful bonsai tree Sir. Greeting one hobby bonsai from Indonesia.

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Enjoyed this video and wondered just how late you would do this sort of pruning on cedars? Would you put it in a cold frame or is it fine in the Nottinghamshire / Lincolnshire climate :)

[@edmilkovitz297]

The trees trunk filled out nicely. Do you think in the future as it gets bigger it could be a problem growing into the driftwood ?

[@robinpashley1956]

Brilliant as always, Thank you. One question .. Is the bog wood likely to constrict the trunk and continue the narrow trunk development in future?

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

I think we'll just keep an eye on it so its not tight, I can carve some away in future if needed.

[@Heisemberg000]

Which kind of soil is better for cedar tree? And the best period for collecting from the nature? Tnx

[@luigiluigi2098]

Wonder what happened to the Omorika Spruce you did at Christmas? I see Sainsbury's have similar back in stock.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

I've still got it on the nursery

[@Dave_0993_I]

Thank you for the update - love updates! I'm a totally great fan of your work, and these videos. However, and I feel bad saying this but I guess I'm compelled to, you used the phrase, "A little Bit" ten times at least in the first five minutes. I know you are doing an informal dialogue in these pieces, but this is a pet peeve of mine that I notice from many youtube artists. I only hope you might take the constructive criticism as it is, and not take offence, because to me you are an outstanding artist. Sorry!

[@russellmorgan5611]

Corin is a North Notts. lad ( like myself.) None of us are ever going to win prizes for elecution. Hi Corin, say hello to Andy R for me.

[@Dave_0993_I]

@@russellmorgan5611 I'm only trying to help.

[@russellmorgan5611]

I know😊

[@Tore1972Wisdom]

I think the bottom left branch has to big a pad. It brings the whole tree out of balance.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Yes, initially, but now the rest of the tree has filled out that isn't the case.

[@missaleromanum5614]

[@yoteslaya7296]

That trunk is terrible

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Well yes and no, its a video about making a bonsai from standard garden centre stock, bought blind from Ebay. Showing what can be achieved. Of course plants grown for bonsai or hand selected will be better, but that wasn't the point of this project.

[@yoteslaya7296]

@@greenwoodbonsaistudio just a shame to see a nice cedar with that abomination on the bottom
