- What to do with your christmas tree decorations when the season is over? Over winter, use the tree and turn it into a bonsai tree and plant it in spring in a bonsai container to create your own christmas tree bonsai.
I am new to this hobby and bought an 18 inch Alberta...I've tried to envision what to do but I may have bitten off more than I could chew. It has a double trunk and 2 sister trunks...I'll have to take my time, I plan to jin for the first time so no rush..thanks for the inspiration!
Great! No rush needed indeed. Just work systematically from bottom to top. Ensure the lowest 3 branches that you keep are at different height and each come forward slightly, as if the tree embraces you. Then branches closer to eachother as you move up along the trunk.
Great instruction! good to see how the roots were clipped as well, and appreciate the short video. inspiring!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome lesson in seconds
❤
Beautiful, good job!👍
Thank you
You're good
Thank you!
Hey Jelle, love watching your videos. As someone that lives in NL (like you I presume), I had a question regarding this process. I bought quite a large Christmas tree (130cm) and kept it indoors for over two months. It has already started putting out new growth for a few weeks and I’m tempted to start pruning it quite heavily, repotting it, and reducing the trunk height drastically. Do you think now is a good time to do so? I’m worried the sap loss will be too high as I don’t think it went dormant due to me keeping it indoors. Thanks and have a great day!
I do not live in the Netherlands though. I left about 2 decades ago. Dificult to judge. Main challenge with large christmas trees is that often they were not grown in that pot, but just plopped in the pot after digging up. If that is the case, it would be good to give the tree a growing season to establish new roots. If it was in there I would not be too worried about a first workover, pruning to main branches and setting them in basic shape, leaving fine wiring for early fall.
@@GrowingBonsai Thanks for the tips, and apologies for having made that assumption. The tree has roots growing on the underside of the pot so either it was grown in the pot in a field and then removed or, like you say, removed and placed in the pot. I put it outside now and hopefully the temperature doesn’t drop too drastically before spring. Thanks again!
prune AND repotted? did it survive?
Of course it did!
@@GrowingBonsai I've also never had an issue cutting and repotting spruces at the same time but people act like it's insanity haha
Man you are so good at styling.. what diameter wire is this?
How do you style the tip? I always chop off too much or it looks like a torch :/
Does it matter what roots you prune when repotting? The only repotting rule I know is it is best in the early spring.
Yes it does. one should be carefull when cutting bigger roots, and ensure there are plenty smaller side-roots on the part left over.
Het is bijna zomer 😆
True story
Can you actually make the trunk bigger on this one ?? Can it be done
of course. It is a matter of letting one or mor branches run tall for a few years!
❤❤
Than kyou !
What type of spruce is this one?
On top of my head I am tempted to say it was a Picea glauca 'Conica'
what style is this?
losest i can come to is a twin-trunk Formal upright candelabra 😁😂
Got dozens of earling s in the yard lol
Someone has diggings to do!
Yup got some sugar maples and Oak trees that I dug up and trimmed.🪵🌱
@@GrowingBonsai strong roots stong trunk strong branges big buds!
@@GrowingBonsai I'm focusing on longevity so I m thinking sugar maples.white oaks...
