- You might recognize this Bald Cypress Bonsai Forest from a past video or from our book Freestyle Bonsai. We used it to show the step by step process of creating a forest. Bald cypress is a great specie for this style. We'll tell you today more about this composition, how it was created, and its next steps. Enjoy!
Our book is available on Amazon and our website.

Absolutely love storytime with Jerome!
Wish I knew about the grid to put under a forest before I did my Norfolk pines 11 of them.
Great information
Great videos. Bald cypress are awesome
An exciting future for the forest!!
Nice one mate 👍🤘🏽atsuuuup 🐥
Awesome video, Thanks for sharing!
Awesome work man! I'm actually in the process of starting a maple tree bonsai that I want to pass down so I'm hoping it will be around for the next five hundred years if my kids pass it down to their kids.
Hello, Jerome. How do you do? I am fond of watching your videos, thank you, for sharing with us your experience 😘 Can I ask you, to make video about Jade plant, please ❤
Hi Janna! Thank you for the kind words. We have a few jade videos on our channel already but more to come 🙂
I just did a cypress forest a few weeks ago. I hope mine develops as good as yours.
I love Bald Cypress and was wondering about creating a swamp forest... Is it possible without causing root rot?
In this planting, I could imagine the swamp to the right and under the soil, have a water proof barrier in place if need be.
Looks great!
Nice👌👍👍😊❤🙋
I would agree with your first choice as the main tree. It is already a little thicker than the others so my eye has been drawn to that one from the beginning. I think with the way the others are placed, it will be kind of a "I am the momma and these are my babies"
thank you , thats lovely. when is best time of year to repot ? thanks
Excellent! Ordered the book, it should be here tomorrow!
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy it.
@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply I'll bring it in June to the Raleigh meeting for a signature if possible!
@@jkleczewski absolutely, lets do it!
I always like a group if the biggest tree is towards the front, and usually planted at the top of the 'hill,' Maybe you could swap the two trees, and bring the biggun forward? And up a little bit. I really like the empty space in the composition. I was on Alligator Ally 12-30-1999 with a few thousand friends, BTW!-)
Hi Jerome, I love bonsai groups and forests and especially bald cypresses are ideal for those plantings. So a nice project you are having under development here.
When talking about bald cypress I am always struggling with how to distinguish them from Chinese redwood. Three years back I made a composition out of five trees that I purchased in a nursery as bald cypress. Last year I started a forest with 16 redwoods, which I purchased in the same nursery (actually I bought five but divided them by air layering and made some cuttings). But both species for me look the same. I searched in the internet, where they discuss leaves or twigs are differently positioned, but I cannot see differences on my plants. Even the trunks look identical. Would you have an easy advice? Thanks Dirk
How did you tie in the roots on the grid? I did it once with Picea forest, but I circled the wire around the trunks, and that started to strangle the trees, so I cut all the wire out of the roots a year later. They hold up by themselves now. Fairly meshed together.
Nice cipres forest! Lovely trees.
I used two wires and I tied the rootball to the grid
@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply ah Yes tie over the roots not round the trunk 👍
Where can I buy the pots that you use for your forest projects?
Would you be able to clarify a bit about winter storage? I put a forest together last summer, it thrived and grew through the fall. I left it outside in winter (New York) and then in spring it popped a few tiny buds then dried out and died. Can these be stored in like a garage during winter to be kept out of the elements?
The basics of overwintering is on the ground, away from wind and between 26-29F. Now a temperate tree should be reported in the spring at bud break. You mentioned you created yours in summer, which may be the cause of your tree not surviving.
@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply Excellent, thank you for the help! Would it be fair to say then that the best time to put a forest together for bald Cypress would be in late winter and/or early spring when it starts to bud?
What time of the year did you build the forest?
I think u need to add few more to name it a forest
Hi why must a forests have a uneven number of trees why not a even number .
Hi! It is just esthetically more pleasing. It’s not a must. Even number tree forest just look a little odd
Thumbs down for destroying beautiful bald cypress trees!!
