I liked your video! I have a hearty hibiscus that I have had in training for about six months. I look forward to your continuation of the series on your hardy hibiscus.

me too! How is yours doing?

Lovely development - and those flowers - WOW!!!! The dead wood on these trees deteriorates very fast - also holds a lot of moisture close to the trunk. You may want to consider removing what you can when the leaves drop to prevent rot. Marvelous recovery this year!
@GrowingBonsai11 ай бұрын
Is it your experience that the trunk just keeps rotting? Normally a tree shields areas that are still alive.
@sueb131711 ай бұрын
@@GrowingBonsai The wounds will heal up quite nicely. For me, however, large pieces of dead wood exposed to winter rains seems to get spongey after a year - seems to encourage diseases that can kill the main branches or trunks. Though cold tolerant, these trees don't like cold soggy roots. Protecting them under an eave seems to solve everything.

Bought it from a box store a year and a half ago. It was called “Hardy Hibiscus” lol. I gave it a first bonsai cut last fall. A second one late spring. It’s looking pretty good now.

will be really interested on how you will approach the carving on this tree. I also rescued a deciduous hibiscus and find the wood is really soft. It has been three years since I dug it up. In summer it is great cause the leaves and flowers. But in winter I cannot make mind up what to do with deadwood on it.

I think it's best to say 'feed' rather than fertilise, I know a lot of people say it but, it's a word used in biology to mean unite egg and spermatozoon. I'm pretty sure that everyone I've ever worked with in the Horticultural industry in the UK says 'feed' and 'pollinate' for 'fertilise plants' or add fertilser as a euphonism for 'add manure'. Mainly 'feed' is used for adding nutrients. As I say, I now hear it a lot on YT but, I suspect those people aren't from the Horticultural industry. I can't speak for America. That's a whole other thing.
