My Acer palmatum/Japanese Maple bonsai was started as a free rooted cutting (by air-layering) in 2002 and I’ve been developing it ever since then. This video shows a brief glimpse of its history.
A How To for feeding your bonsai with bonsai artist Harrington Harrington of Bonsai4me.com In this video Harry shows how to use inorganic soil fertilisers to feed the trees in his own garden.
A short video on fertilising your bonsai using slow-release fertilizers, my personal preferred method for feeding a bonsai collection.
This isn’t an instructional video on how to repot a typical deciduous tree. The Elm has become very refined since 2004 when I started it as an airlayer taken from the wild, and the rootball has become incredibly ramified after a succession of repots every two years.
This video gives a glimpse of my Siberian Elm bonsai (Ulmus pumila) after a recent repotting and just as it comes into leaf.
In this video I return to The Hill, my favourite place for collecting old yamadori Crataegus monogyna/Common Hawthorn.
This video illustrates further the method for recovering newly collected deciduous yamadori bonsai (as well as weak trees), using a cheap black plastic bag.
