I have only been into bonsai starting this year, but I got into it because I had a conversation with my producer about how I wanted him to approach mixing some songs. I told him "imagine all the samples and tracks as a tree with lots and lots of branches, where we have to cut it into a pleasing shape and maybe we cut many branches off without even knowing what it looks like until it's done." It occurred to me that I might be describing bonsai so I started searching for bonsai videos on YT. The man from Heron's bonsai had this video where he was digging up saplings in his backyard and turning them into bonsai, and he made these ugly cement pots in another video. I thought, "that is a very heavy metal approach to bonsai," and I decided to dig up some wild saplings in my yard (rather than mow them or cut them). I also made a dozen or so primitive pots out of cement that I put on top of kindling fires to blacken them for additional character. So far I have been mostly making cascades out of mesquite trees although I'm also experimenting with twisting and knotting branches, and have a column and lattice structure on two trees which I believe are not really traditional. Part of the reason I enjoy it is because it's a new artistic medium to explore, and one that is somehow both very alien and familiar at the same time, and I also enjoy that it's a medium that participates with me rather than me having to make every creative decision from start to finish.

Wow, that is a new way to imagine bonsai! Thanks for sharing your story with me and the community. I'm glad that you can find an interest in both bonsai and music, which are different yet similar at the same time. :)

Sir Love from India 🇮🇳 I must have watched hundreds pf vedios, but so called experts seem to talk knowledge that a commoner might avoid. These r the points, why I love ur vedios souch: 1. Your vedios r for a commoner not jargons very deep informative yet simple 2. You don't seem to discuss in a hurry u always mention a time line of atleast 10 to 15 years for a good bonsai to make. 3. I was elated that u manage with the spleat of tools, no fancy Japanese stuff. 4. I am no more in a hurry to transform my bonsai 6. I have started pinching. Thanks a ton for making things look simpler.

I enjoy Bonsai because I get to connect with nature and be outdoors. I work indoors most of the day so I truly enjoy my time in my Bonsai garden under the sun. Your content is very informative and very enjoyable to watch! Keep up the good work sir!

Good comment about birch. They are indeed hydrophilic and do not respond well to cut back. Wounds are difficult to heal. Birch can be used for bonsai but I would say it’s not beginner friendly and a fairly challenging tree. I did an aggressive chop on one hoping to stimulate budding but the tree decided to give up the main tree and instead grew a massive sucker quite quickly. I love birch but there is probably good reason we don’t see them so often as bonsai

Some people prep their trees for winter dormancy by cleaning and spraying pesticides on their trees. Do you have a routine that you do as well and is it neccessary?

Nope! I am not sure why you think that given there is rarely an insect issue in the winter months. Where are you located?

I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing. To the person who asked about bonsai trees in winter: I live in an area where we have temps below freezing for several months. I move my bonsai into an unheated garage so they are out of the wind. They do just fine. I think the biggest issue is watering them and having the water freeze and crack the pots. I make sure the pots have time to drain if the temps are to go below freezing. I've never lost a pot yet, but I've lost several smaller trees. The larger trees do fine.

I need to do video demonstrations in the other months ;-) More seriously, it is safer to work on your trees in the months without leaves. You can pretty much repot and work on the tree if there is ample fibrous roots and by removing branches…especially for evergreen trees like Juniper. The main thing is to not let the tree dry out!
