Thank you so much for being a subscriber. It means the world to us.

That's going to be a very interesting tree, definitely freestyle bonsai!!
Most true to the art
Thank you Nigel! Sometimes thinking outside the pot pays off!😬
@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply Lol, great!!
I'm not going to wait for your results. I'm going to pick one of hundreds of baby balds and try It myself. Thank you
I think this is an AWESOME idea. one could make a killer custom pot and make this a thing.
I have actually thought about that. Would be quite unique, that's for sure!
This is awesome. We all have those insane ideas that works in our head, but sometimes doesnt work in real life. This isn't one of those times. Pretty sure this is gonna work perfectly, the logic is all there.
Ive already dont the same exact thing it does not change what part of the tree has more strength it just makes you have to wire a lot of branches back down
Should work as described. I have used a similar approach to create windswept designs by turning the tree on its side and letting it grow that way a few seasons. Give that a try!
That is actually a good idea! I’m going to give that a try as well 🙂
This idea has occured to me, and i plan on trying it this year.
"It's either going to work or be a huge failure..." ah, such is life my friend!
I think this is brilliant, cant wait to see how it turns out, and how the trees manages to "correct" itself once re-righted. The only issue I would foresee is that to roots are now clamoring to grow "up", which is now "down," so they may be bungled around the trunk when you go to pull it out of the pot. Either way, push those limits. Cheers Jerome!!
Thank you my friend! Even if it is a huge failure, a new idea may come from that. The root issue has also crossed my mind, not sure if I can trick the roots to Grow upwards. However, I do know that roots grow towards nutrients so perhaps they will grow towards the top where the fertilizer will be applied. Time will tell🙂
I wonder if this could be corrected using a wide based conical shape to keep the roots tapered back?
In the past I have used a mirror to direct light on to the lower foliage with noticeable results. I enjoy seeing new experimental approaches and breaks from tradition. It`ll be good to another interview too. I miss Nebari tv and the interviews with bonsai growers from differing backgrounds.
Looking forward to the development of this tree. Congratulations on your book!
Thank you very much Desiree!
cool experiment
It s working, i did it with ficus and juniperus, that s going on very well
very inspiring -thanks !! regards from Israel
I love your creativity! Look forward to seeing the progress.
Thank you very much!
Very innovative I say, only wish you the best, and can think it will grow well!
Great idea Jerome!
Good idea. Lets see.
Great idea!!!! 👏👏👏Good luck!!!
It's just like weeping style it's hard to keep them from growing up. Great idea. Topsee turvey. Cheers from Ojai California
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant idea going to do it as well!!!
I've had this exact idea for a wind-swept tree - grow it sideways so the foliage that groes up is actually groing sideways.
Oh man, wicked cool. I see others have pointed out some challenges to this technique, and I can think of a few myself. How cool will it be when you overcome every one of them?!?
This is going to be fun, Jerome! Thank you for sharing, and please keep us updated through the growing season!
It would be very cool if this works! Great idea!
Is there a full length of your musical introduction? It sounds little bit of New Orleans in it, mixed with a little contemporary, and a dash of funk added in. It sounds like great music for getting work done. But that may only be because I associate it with The Bonsai Supply’s fantastic work.
I really like the thinking outside the box, it's going to be a great tree, can't wait to see the future growth
Thank you Alejandro!
I think that will work but you may have some weird roots on top when you flip it back
You might be right! Hopefully that will be an easy fix 🙂
Awesome splendid work as usual
Thank you Gabe, much apprecited
So inspiring...👍
Glad you think so!
This is a good idea, I used to grow tomatoes like that, never thought to use this idea for bonsai. Thinking outside the box, let the tree do the work itself. Just wanted to add, this would make the stem of the tomatoes grow little bumps.
Thank you Oscar! 🙏🌳 let’s see what happens 🙂
I believe that this presentation is definitely thinking outside the swamp.
Very clever idea. I believe it will work.
Thank you! I believe it will work too 🙂🌳
Very interesting. Id love to see how this plays out. Im wondering if you start to get growth out of the top of the pot because it will be warmer and the source of the water and nutrients. Im very eager to see. Thank you for sharing this idea.
Cool idea it should work. I agree with the idiot about the roots tangling around the trunk but frequent repotting should be able to control that. Thanks.
I have used this method also and it works well
That’s good to know, thank you brother 🙏🌳
@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply yes the reason for doing this is energy is mostly in the highest point of the tree and some cascading styles sadly get weaker in time in the bottom portion. this will bring the energy back to where it was lacking. Always good to talk with you bro
@@rickstreeart2594 that was exactly why I did this 🙂
It'll be interesting to see how leaves grow when upside down n form pads
Leaves always turn and grow towards the light/sun.
I'm curious how the roots are going to respond considering gravity.
Me too 🙂
Interesting idea. What will happen with the position of the foliage after you turned back to position in spring will grow new foliage in the right position or you will to wire and twist in the new position and what about the roots system. 👍👍🇵🇷
Hey Carlos! Leaves always turn and grow towards the light/sun.
Thanks
think this really thinking out side the box and really don't care this is a failure cause you trying something that make total sense. hope it works honestly keep posting stuff like this, its inspiring
I like that Stephan, Thank you!
That looks like a good idea! Curious to see how the experiment develops! Two questions/hypotheses to test: 1. Isn’t the top of the tree/bottom of the pot going to rot when watering, 2. Are the roots going to grow upwards after “bumping up” from the bottom of the pot, or downwards through the holes in the bottom of the pot?
Hey Stefano! These are great questions. Question 1. I highly doubt that because the water just runs off the trunk, also Bald Cypress tend to grow in water so I am not too concerned about that. Question 2.I would imagine that the roots will grow towards the top as that is the place where I will apply fertilizer and roots grow towards nutrients. Also, Think of trees that grow on cliffs, the shoot the roots upwards to anchor and secure themselves.
@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply cheers, Jerome! I appreciate you taking time to reply! I wish I had plants as big as yours to make experiments! 1. I’ll figure out what species are water friendly. (maybe on your new book? 😉) 2. I’d never have guessed, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to see how this bad boy progresses!
I'm curious h I w the ROOTS will respond to being reversed .. this time, as well as next step while it is reversed again to original upright position? Time will tell .. but fabulous thinking outside the box!
Hmmmmm. Interesting. But how will the foliage look after a few years when you turn it back upside down again?
Hey CK! The foliage will automatically turn back towards the sun ☀️ trees 🌳 are pretty awesome!
Interesting idea, I might try this in the future. Also, how mad are you that Google stole your intro song for advertising?
So mad 😡 we were thinking of suing them 😂
@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply that sounds like a lot of hassle.
Where‘d you get the song from originally?
I got a law degree (not an American one though) and am debating with myself if suing would be possible 😄
@@Bonsaifly oh no I was just joking about suing google. It is song actually provided by google that is free to use.
@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply haha i figured. Anyway, the song suits your channel much better
Good idea will try out.... thank you
Don't roots always try to reach down?
Generally speaking yes, but think of trees that grow in the mountains or on cliffs, the roots have to grow every which way to secure the tree. Also, I do know that roots grow towards nutrients so perhaps they will grow towards the top where the fertilizer will be applied. Time will tell🙂
That's thinking outside the pot.
Roots do not grow upwards. Fail.
Actually they do! In pursuit of water, oxygen and nutrients they will grow upwards, laterally, vertically or a combination of directions. Success!
