@@lakeelsinorebonsai1203 yeah my neighbor has a huge 50 footer in his front and it's amazing when it blooms, then theres a couple yellows that bloom slightly after. I was reading online that droughts, lack of potassium, and something else can influence blooming.
May I say that I love your Jacaranda trees? The first one is wonderful and the second one will be soon.Thank you for the video, I am waiting for the next update.
@@lakeelsinorebonsai1203 I know and I am folllowing all of them!Jacaranda trees have a particular and dear meaning to me. Thank you and take care all of you too.
I have a jacaranda tree in ground and it is around 7 feet tall. I want it to have an open shape, it’s mostly growing straight upward. Can I use guy wires to pull some branches downward? Also, where every you make a pruning cut does it split its growth into two?
Yeah you can wire the tree to open it up and the tree really responds well. With regards to cutting, sometimes it split into two, but sometimes there only one annoying one that grows the wrong way. This tree is really hard to shape. Hard to bonsai as well. It’s been three years since I made videos of this tree and now I would hope it looks good, but it’s far from it , I think it’s uglier now than before. But at least it’s healthy.
Jacaranda tree are very hard to bonsai. Right now it’s branching out but it looks ugly at the moment. There are times that it look good. One important branch died so I have to redesign it again. I cut the branches shorter late winter.
Amazing trees, I started my first jacaranda few months ago. Please tell me if it will loose leaves in winters, fertilizer and winter care tips. It gets very cold here at my place. Thank you
Hello, yes, it will lose all the leaves. They are deciduous. No more fertilizer, do it in the spring to mid-fall. Always keep it moist, every time you water make sure it reaches the root ball. Otherwise they are very strong tree. Check out the latest video of summer tour, it is featured at the beginning. You’ll see the progression. Thank you ! Stay safe!
Nice tree. I grew one from a seed. About three years old now. I have been checking in on your jacaranda trees from time to time to see if they have bloomed yet. I have several more years to go...I suppose. You bark is definitely a bite more advanced than min. I would guess your tree is about 5-6 years old. Should be blooming any season now. Thoughts?
Hi Scott, I have this tree for almost 4 years now, and the trunk are still the same. This was a garden tree which is like 8ft. And I chopped it off to 13 inches making it into a stump. Some little branches were left and I grew the others and wired them down. Now I am just trying to grow secondary branches, so constant pruning prevents it from flowering. I am not really looking to bloom yet, my focus is shaping for now. Every summer this tree has a lot of foliage and is very thick, so cutting and pruning three times a year is the what I do. Someday, hopefully if I can maintain its health, it will finally bloom. I will post another video update for this tree soon. Thank you so much for checking. Cheers!
Rafael Najmanovich - Evolution Bonsai , thanks Rafi, it’s two more weeks I think to officially summer, but the weather is warmer already, and I’m ready for it. I just hope there will be no more dead trees. Take care bro!
Hi Oscar, thank you! The Jacaranda is doing well, it still looks the same. It’s really hard to shape and grow more branches. My problem now is my neighbor’s two black cats, they hung out in my garden a lot and in some mornings I catch one of them on top of my Jacaranda tree, I think one day Im afraid I’ll find a broken branch . I’m quite busy at work lately, when I’m free again I’ll make some more videos
Hello Steven, I would suggest if you wanted to have the trunk bigger to slip pot it in a big nursery pot and let it grow wild. It will take years and a lot of patience. Wiring and shaping will be later on. You can put it outside, it can take heat and cold. They are deciduous so it’s normal to lose foliage in the winter.
I saw the three vídeos and I want to congratulate on such a beautiful tree !!! I have a Jacaranda tree that is about 20 inches long and has been in a bonsai pot for 2 years. Could you tell me what is the first cut I need to make to start shaping a beautiful bonsai? Do I need to cut all the branches and leave a trunk only 10 inches ?
Hello Adriana , you can cut it as low as 10” but maybe 12 would be better. Does it have a branch below that that you can use? If you cut it like a stump, there should be at least a branch with a foliage to make the survival rate higher, but most of the tree survive and grow branches back, but there are some that doesn’t, like conifers and some deciduous too. But I think the jacaranda will. If you watch my newer jacaranda repotting video earlier this year you will see that I left no foliage at all and now there a lot of growth. So you actually can.
Hello Arlene, when I first got the tree it has some flowers. But ever since I made it into a bonsai, the constant pruning prevents it from blooming. Maybe someday when I got the ramification I want and I have developed a lot smaller branches , it will finally give me some flowers.
Beautiful tree. Could you explain your approach to the pruning? I know you are pruning away branches that block light to the inside of the tree, but what are you looking for aside from letting in more light? Are you developing a canopy? How do you intend to shape the tree overall? Also, can you guy wire branches while they are still young and green? Thnx
Hi, yeah, pruning’s main purpose is for the light to come in. And it is also to shape the tree to design and developing canopy. This tree used to have long leggy branches and I’m trying to shorten them so it’s more compact and tight. I would like to look like the tree in the forest as much as possible. But I don’t want to cut them drastically. So I’m taking it slow. So far I think it’s doing great! I still have some guy wires because they still spring back if I remove them
@@lakeelsinorebonsai1203 The nature of the jacaranda is that the branches go in every which way; they don't follow a pattern like many other trees do, so it's difficult to get them to present some sort of shape or organized pattern. Is it too early to wire while the branches are still green?
Water Lover , hello, no it’s not. I got it from a garden center. This is for garden trees about 10 ft. high in a 25 gallon nursery pot. I cut it down to 12 inches and grow the branches.
Fred Grech , hi Fred! I have tree for almost 3 years, and it has flowers when I first got it, but ever since the Bonsai process, it hasn’t flowered yet because of the frequent pruning. When I develop the branches, I will leave it alone for a while to flower. Thank you!
Hi Lenny, it hasn’t since I made it into a bonsai. No, they did come from seeds. I got it with those trunks already. They are garden nursery stock from 15 gallon nursery pot. These trees might be 10 to 15 years old. Thank you!
@@lakeelsinorebonsai1203 ooook... I am busy with some from seeds i picked up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, already for 5 years, they do not grow fadt at all!
hello! your tree is just gorgeous! i am looking for a bonsai jacaranda for a TV project i am working on in los angeles. Would you be interested in selling or renting one of your trees to us or could you possibly recommend someone in the area who would be able to? i would love to discuss more with you if possible. thank you so much for your time and for sharing the videos of your beautiful tree!
Hello Jane, thank you ! Yeah, I’m interested, you may call me in the morning’s where I’m available. But you know I’m far, Lake Elsinore right? Thanks Mel
I found the Jacarandas from one of the nurseries I’ve been to. It was a garden tree. If you are in LA county, I think there’s one more at Chino CA, Memo nursery.
This is beautiful! Just growed a Jacaranda Seed, might try to do a Bonsai! Thanks for sharing :)
Zero13 , thank you! 👍👍
Love the video. Exactly what I needed to see. Love the ruddy mature trunk. Thank you.
One of my favorites. I’ve got one in development but no where as beautiful as yours. Thanks
Matt Brennan , thank you Matt! I am sure yours will develop beautifully as well! Take care Bro!
Very nice example of Jacaranda.
Thank you Sir!
Muy bonito trabajo
Muchas gracias Amigo!
Great looking Tree I love the bark on the trunk it must have some age to the Tree.should look good when your branches develope more growth .😀
Bonsai DownUnder , Thank you so much! Yeah, I’m still developing the branches. Hopefully it improves well! Stay safe Mate! 👍👍
I got a few too, cant wait for mine to bloom and to see yours bloom too.
Thank you! I think the constant pruning prevents my to bloom yet. But hopefully in the future!

how does your "Jacaranda Tree Bonsai" looks now in late spring 2023 ??

Please give updates and tips on your jacaranda trees 🌲

Oh god this is awesome. How old is your tree? I still got my jacaranda seed at home but it surely wont grow properly here in Norway :D
Thank you! Maybe 12 years old. I had it for 4 years now. I think yours will thrive there. It’s a very strong tree. Can take hot and very cold weather
Any tips for a Newby starting out? Mines about 4 inches tall. Growing indoors, filtered light. When should I start guide wiring? Great videos. Thanks.

I think you can wire them if they are still green, it’s actually better. But you have to be really careful of breaking.
Has it flowered as yet? If so, do you have a picture of it?🌳
It has flowers before I turned it into bonsai , but ever since, it never did yet
is this tree airlayer? gorgeous little bonsai
