Repotting A Split Trunk Cotoneaster Bonsai 🌳

In this Bonsai Video, we are Repotting A Split Trunk Cotoneaster Bonsai! Cotoneaster is a great choice for Bonsai because of their small leaf profile and fast growth rate.

Today we are working on three different cotoneaster trees. One with berries that has a good Nebari, one with a split trunk, and one that is Mame sized. Repotting cotoneaster is best done in early spring before the tree begins to flower. This timing helps the tree adjust smoothly to its new pot without interrupting its growth cycle too much, ensuring it stays healthy and happy.

Cotoneaster as a species are great for Bonsai as they have small leaves, delicate branches, and attractive flowers and berries, which lend themselves well to intricate shaping and styling.

Been waiting for the update on the split trunk. That's my favorite video so far - I'm glad to see the tree doing so well

[KennetDeBondt]

Every time I watch a video, the whole time I'm telling the tv "look at that!" "Look what he did with that!" and "isn't that just amazing." The whole video, every video. Maybe now that I'm sharing, I'll start saying something else.

I'll keep everyone posted. ✌🏼

Good to see back doing videos, I find cotoneasters make great little trees I have some in different styles, they are fun to work with, boy do we need to fun at the moment as the weather is not sure what season we are in, I have a maple in full leaf already plus a few not far behind. All the best with your trees

[annepahler]

Awesome video, super shots of the trees!!! Nice root work!

[DnHVid]

Cotoneasters are one of my favourite trees, great video! The little one with all the berries reminds me of an apple tree. Going to try and make a similar one myself. Than you for the inspiration!

[ThomasBarbarick]

Always a great video with information and guidance.

What’s the plan for the split tree?

[CasOlund]

Great to
See a video. I love those cute cotoneasters

[jakesnelling]

I always look forward to your videos! I think you could of squeezed that small one in the white pot. Be brave lol.

[alexhobbs]

Nice work. May I ask where you got your lava rock from?

[domidrak]

Hello! Can you try playing with a Jacaranda? I would love to see what you would do with it!

[howardmckeown]

Good video, Adam, is it ok to repot cotoneasters now in N Ireland even if they're not budding? Beginner, thanks

[Krisz-nmzv]

Szia Adam!
Megint egy nagyszerű, tartalmas videó!👌👍
Azt szeretném kérdezni, hogy az átülteténél a kikapart talajkeverékedben láttam vöröses színű szemcséket is bőven. Azok darált, őrölt tégla vagy cserépdarabok?
Válaszodat előre is köszönöm!
Üdvözlettel:
Krisztián😉

You mentioned it being cold where you are - I'm in Philadelphia-PA-USA - we are still in winter we have been in the 40sF. Is it too early to repot before they really wake up? I have a Cotoneaster that is begging for attention. Thanks

[ishamakkusu]

You use a very inorganic substrate Adam - is it very wet where you are?
