Styling a Field Maple Bonsai

[@cherkim]

It’s so nice to see an expert working his craft.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Ohw.. Thank you!

[@MAMLeers]

"Building a tree"... That's the way it's done! Well explained and showed!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you so much!

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

Oh that tree will look so good! It already does!

[@GrowingBonsai]

looking forward to it developing!

I absolutely love field maples, they make such beautiful bonsai. Last year in full summer I managed to rescue about 20 of them from a construction site and not a single one has died, such vigorous trees and if you keep on top of the growth the leaves will stay nice and small.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Yes!

[@oachkatzlsmum]

Excellent advices I can allocate hopefully to my 8 year old trident maple next year… 🙏👍 Thanks Jelle 🙋‍♀️

[@GrowingBonsai]

tridents are a lot less prone to throwing wild buds, fortunately!

[@snejinka_in]

It's becoming a very nice tree ! Good work Jelle ☺

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thanks 👍

Sehr schönes Video ! Diese zeitlichen Schritte zusammen gepackt in einem Video sind echt spannend ! Vielen Dank für die Mühe. Ein gutes Beispiel wie man noch junge Bonsai entwickeln kann.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Danke dir Andreas!

J'aime beaucoup votre chaine. Un grand merci à vous !

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you so much for dropping by!

[@maryweber4176]

Wow, what a drastic difference once you defoliated it. I think it's beautiful.

[@GrowingBonsai]

There is often beauty hidden in a dense canopy!

[@abidingdude222]

Dude the cutoff jorts are awesome!!!!!

[@GrowingBonsai]

what are cutoff jorts!?

[@abidingdude222]

[@JohnThurlbeck]

Great to see you at work on a bigger tree! 👍

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thx John! I am not sure why I hardly ever show my bigger trees. I guess I should show more of them. I have about 50 trees of this size I am working on!

[@JohnThurlbeck]

@@GrowingBonsai - with 50 or so larger trees still to do that means you’ll have your hands full now! 😂 Do you also have a full-time job, besides the trees? If you do, life must be crazy in the growing season, my friend! 👏

[@rebeccahunter725]

Love the bigger trees!

[@GrowingBonsai]

All of me, except my back, too!

[@kennethtaylor7288]

Love the safety boots too!! 😂

[@GrowingBonsai]

What safety boots do you refer to ?

[@kennethtaylor7288]

@@GrowingBonsai Hahah - my point exactly! 😅 no safety boots, barefoot bonsai! 🤣 just some Aussie humour! ❤️ This was an excellent video btw - very grateful for you sharing your knowledge, and the time it must take to put it all together… 🙏🏻

[@GrowingBonsai]

@@kennethtaylor7288 :) Well.. If you cannot do stuff barefoot, maybe one should not be doin it! :D

[@Jey125]

Hello Jelle, once again nice to see the development of such a great project. Are you going to be in the vicinity of BlackLabelBonsai or Wernerin Düsseldorf any time soon? Can you link the first Video of this acer?

[@GrowingBonsai]

Hey Jey, I LIVE in the area of Werner. I will be doing a demo at the Kreativ Fest in September, and will spend considerable time there. End of August I will drop in at the bonsai werkstatt too. Why?

Very nice tree development. I have a triple trunk field male but Is struggling for almost three years now... Never found the way to cultivate correctly.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Mine love water and fertilizer, full sun..

[@andreastefanini11]

@@GrowingBonsai thankyou!

[@PyroNL91]

Welke pasta gebruik je? bedankt!

[@GrowingBonsai]

ik heb de japanse pasta uit een potje en uit een tube.

[@brucedeacon28]

👍🍎🙂

[@GrowingBonsai]

:D

[@RICKDIED]

Why dont you remove the straight trunk completely the other trunk has better taper and I feel this tree would be better with one trunk but thats just my opinion ps love you work you taught be alot and im learning alot from you

[@GrowingBonsai]

I HAVE thought about doing that. But I do not have twin trunks in my collection. :).

[@RICKDIED]

​@@GrowingBonsai Im in the same boat, also working on my first twin trunk its still young 3 years old. Im hoping my trunks doesnt fuse when the trunks get bigger because there is not alot of space between them. But bonsai trees are ever changing and you did good work on the tree cant wait to see how it evolves.
