Willow Bonsai, July 2014

Published 2014-07-17
I look at Weeping Willows and Black Willow trees and show how to start your own Willow bonsai. I also check in on my older Willow bonsai and discuss care, style and pruning techniques.

    Like I said you do give me hope and courage to keep my bonsai alive

    I did put a foam on top of the container right at the water line to hold the plant in place, worked great! Always waiting for the updates on your willows!

    Trees just fascinate me so much like that willow with just the suckers left but very old suckers it's amazing how much they try n keep themselves alive

    I must say that I am starting to get a kiOne must certaily ck out of your videos...you have a great style, and one can learn a lot from your videos. One must certainly understand tree species to be able to perform bonsai. It is about nature, the climate, soil, the type of tree you work on, fertilizers that you use, watering and what not.  A weeping willow design next to running water (just like a creek) would be great :) Greetings from Istanbul!

    What a great video taking advantage of a range and variety of one type of tree. Valuable for inspiration.
  • Seems you were always one with the squirrels!! Awesome video

    Willow bonsai is easy to make and has a taste. The disadvantage is the short life of the tree. In Japan, it is difficult to become a bonsai product. Bonsai materials are generally long-lived tree species. Expensive bonsai is mainly pine and cypress cousins. Bonsai's great taste is the taste of trees that have been used in pots for many years. It brings the godliness(by Sintouizm) of a large tree to a small potted tree. I am a Japanese bonsai lover.

    It's exactly 1 year later haha! How's the willow now? Did it root?
  • A question, I was looking this video again and a doubt camera out... How do you keep the water container fresh? I have willows too and the water under them in summer tend to go at proibitive temperature; I change the water everyday forse that reason, you?
  • @homes1001
    What type of furtalizer do you use?

    Hi Nigel, I like your videos. Do you think this technique would work for a myer lemon branch? It seems simpler than air layering...
