Developing a Bonsai Cherry from field stock - Following up!

A one year timelapse of a cherry tree from a growing field. After potting up a field grown bonsai material, I cut back all the branches in a short. Now I am showing how to develop a pre bonsai from field grown stock.

These multi year videos are incredibly useful to see how to develop a tree properly. I appreciate the effort and planning you put into sharing it with us, this must be a lot of work!

[lukasmihara]

The videos showing development over a longer period are always helpful. This tree has great potential!

Such a great video and the follow up is beyond useful. It is so good to see every single step performed at each season and how the tree takes form and evolves. Great educational tool - and yourself obviously have a knack for teaching. I hope we keep seeing more of this tree and how it evolves and will keep following your other videos as well! Thanks for the great content.

awesome, thank you so much, it's so rare to find real "work-in-progress" videos about bonsai!

Ahh, that feeling when you knock off a bud that you really wanted to keep... I did exactly the same a few weeks back.

It's unbelievable how many years it takes to have a beautiful bonsai. I just didn't realise it takes this much work, and my god you need patience. Thanks for this information 👍🏻

Great update and clarification. I always find you funny Jelle - and people still remark on your humour in our collaborations. Another top quality video. I am just about to take my field grown cherry out of its container...nowhere near the same amount of growth though :)

Thanks Jelle. I love the cherry trees. They are always the first to signal that spring is here.... well in my garden at least! Thanks for sharing 👍

[gaiabonsai]

That is very clear, detailed and informative on how to work with larger trees. Thank you for sharing :-)

Hi! I take it you love trees! I have been propagating European Tri-colored Beeches in California. It's a bit warm for them, but l can't help it! I love them! And l just cut some Maples. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm!

I enjoyed the short and thought it was perfect haha. I just came to this link because I wanted to see what the paste was for

Lovely! Spanish cherries, with small leaves, grow well here in Thailand. You've inspired me to get one.

Top job again Jelle, I learn so much watching youtube vids, but you are one of my favorites! Groetjes uit Belgie :D
