Trimming a Crepe Myrtle Bonsai - Greenwood Bonsai

[@NoQuarter01]

This is the best Crepe Myrtle I have seen 👍

[@royhicks3957]

very enjoyable Corin, many thanks.

[@Anne-LiseH]

I love your music coordination. Japanese for trimming, heavy metal for sawing.

[@MujoNatureArt]

Really cool looking tree! Love the form, bark, large size. Thanks for showing the pruning and how hard they are able to take at this time of year. Great tips! Helps me to better do my job.

Thanks Corin,, un arbol magnifico y un tronco espectacular. Saludos

[@thebonsaiarea]

beautiful love the dogs

[@craighunter3273]

Cheers for that demo. My crepe myrtle gives me kittens every year. I live in a marine environment on the east harbour coast of Wellington Harbour (NZ). My myrtle is always slow to bud in the spring. Normally my deciduous bonsai have broken into leaf and looking lively long before my crepe myrtle gives itself a good shake and wakes up. Last year I was so happy to see it break that I had more than a few glasses of my pear wine. Nice to see you do something with a crepe myrtle. Thks Craig

That bark is so friggen cool!

[@dennispovloski8102]

That's really cool! I'm looking for species I can use for bonsai here in Florida, and it never occurred to me to use a Crepe Myrtle even though they're everywhere here. They seem to bud everywhere you make a cut, so I thought they would go crazy being pruned into a bonsai form. That is quite lovely though. Well, off to the nursery...😂

A beautiful tree, would love to see it in flower.

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Lovely tree 😍

[@willbhm]

Firstly that puppy looks beautiful, I have to say that’s some prune I for one can’t wait for the follow up it’s amazing how much they seem to change in the follow ups 😜

Nice video USA Michigan

This channel is awesome 🎉 nice work and great demonstrations for learning this great hobby 👍🏼 Keep up the awesome work and happy 2024

At some point the owner may want to take those branches down to the trunk or close to it. Those are a bit long without ramification. It's never going to get the division unless you start over. I'm no expert but I think that's what my teacher would have me do. There are sooo many varieties of Crepe Myrtle. I like the coloring of this one. Just a tad of red. It's a great size for the foliage. Maybe some day mine will grow up and be a big bonsai like this one. Nothing like having your trees worked on by professionals every few years. Thank you for showing us this including the update. The tree seems to have liked your green house! Nice job, Mats

I like different and having a go at unconventional. I have a grapevine to bonsai and will have a try at allsorts. Keep growing.xx

[@almac2598]

Thanks Corin, I don't think I've seen one of these before. Its got a nice shaped trunk.

[@brianbarnes1362]

Beautifull tree

[@williamingleby3327]

Wow, it looks so easy.

[@angieb6899]

I have one as an ornamental tree here in Australia. They are extremely hardy trees. The leaves turn a burnt orange in autumn.

[@craighunter3273]

Nice music.

[@PugDaddy-ze2gt]

I'm curious if it will live at least a good 50 years ? Beautiful Bonsai❤

[@denhardy7238]

As my mother would say you’ve whipped him a cripple when talking to the barber after giving me a short back and sides haircut 😎Dennis

[@mcmak666]

When they say that dogs look like their owners 😀 good boi

[@Diego-mc2go]

We have Crepe Myrtles everywhere in the southern United States. The are nearly impossible to kill.

[@chasingthefish9042]

True talk I have been trying to kill one off for a couple of years to no avail.

[@dannyellis971]

Nice

[@maryweber4176]

Corin, how old do you think that tree is? I just purchased one on clearance, but small.

[@stephaniegutierrez765]

This is the first time I've seen your site and I found it very interesting. I have a crepe myrtle that is my very first bonsai and it has super thick matted roots with a lot of very thick roots on top and I'm not sure how to handle it. When I got it I trimmed the roots as much as I could but the mat is so seriously sick that I didn't know quite what to do with it

[@stephaniegutierrez765]

I tried to add a picture but it doesn't seem to be allowing it

[@pavelsimsa1357]

very nice tree, the trunk, the right side could be trimed a little bit more ...🙂

[@lougriffiths]

How old would you estimate that tree is

[@brianmoran9334]

Great video can you get me one of them , lovely tree

[@brucedeacon28]

[@sadoldgit313]

Do Crepe Myrtle survive our British winters outdoors?

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

No, they need shelter in the Winter

[@foxfish7115]

Maybe in the south of England, I live in Guernsey and they are quite a common tree living outside all year.

[@peterjohnson350]

Lovely tree but not one for me. I couldn't provide the care it would need in the cold weather.

[@denhardy7238]

I don’t see yugi anywhere...😎

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

He's right at the end !

[@PrototypeBMX]

how old is that puppy?
