Bloodgood Japanese Maple Bonsai Root Pruning
In order to fit my maple into a fairly small pot after years growing in normal sized pots, I had to do some significant root pruning. The tree itself still needs a lot of work before It can be ready to show at our local bonsai demonstration this summer, but I hope they have space to show a few trees in progress by a beginner bonsai enthusiast.
I was careful to do this at the right time of year, the buds had already started to open, and all danger of frost had passed. There were still a few cool nights and I was sure to keep the tree close to the house under cover for the first week or so.
I was still nervous, but I was relieved to see the first few leaves starting to open up today, so hopefully it will do fine.
00:00 Intro
03:52 Potting up
06:50 Wire the tree in place
09:13 All done :-)
