Starting a Kabudachi Clump Style Japanese Maple Bonsai

- April is the month when many garden centres and even supermarkets stock young, inexpensive Japanese maple trees which are ideal for starting bonsai. Join me as I create a “kabudachi” clump style future bonsai from three “going green” Japanese maples.
Enjoy 🙏

Kabudachi bonsai is my favorite style of bonsai. Good video, friend! I wish I had the motivation and time to record and share more of my bonsai……… I appreciate your channel, it’s got lots of good content!
Thanks. I appreciate your supportive comment 👍
Allways nice to see the start of a fun project!

Thank you Kennet
Those chopsticks are just super nice. Those have great roots and will make a beautiful clump. Great video Jason
Thanks 👍
Would love to see the progress, please keep us updated!
I certainly will do 👍
@@TheBonsaiGardenany update?
Looks great Jason. Should make a beautiful clump in the future. Keep us updated. Thanks, keep growing
Thanks, I will do.
That will be a lovely clump in the future I have no doubt jason.
Thanks Xavier. Now is definitely the time to get down to the local supermarket or garden centre to pick these hound trees up. I also started a red Atropurpureum clump which incorporates the surviving central tree from my precision attempt.
@@TheBonsaiGarden I am not allowed to buy any more trees! I did spend all yesterday working through 40 or 50 younger Jap Maples though :)
Nice work. I love going green. They are one of my favourite Japanese maples. That spring colour is stunning, as is the autumn colour.
I find them quite slow growing, but they have very small leaves compared to many other cultivars - especially the red Atropurpureum - which incidentally I also created a new clump style too - incorporating the surviving central tree from my previous attempt. Fingers crossed I get more success and fusion with these.
I've just been outside, and my going green are looking stunning. They are definitely slow growers, but like all trees the ones in the ground are growing a lot faster.
Nice vid ... started few of these last year with some tridents, fun to make
Yes they are! Hope they have developed nicely.
A great start to a brilliant clump style bonsai, Jason 😊 I can't wait to see this tree develop. I'm going to head to my local supermarket and hope they have some maples.
This was Morrisons. No doubt Asda and Tesco will follow shortly.
That's a gorgeous green ! I think you tied them well together and will have a beautiful kabudachi style Japanese maple in a few months(I think you said around 6 months to a year) . Here in Belgium you can't find Japanese maples for such a low price (I think it said 4 pond each), for a tiny bit larger plant you pay around 15 euro 🤨
That’s strange since I believe many of these plants have traditionally been imported from Holland. £3.50 per plant. “Going Green” is a slow grower with small leaves ideal for bonsai.
@@TheBonsaiGarden I bought this afternoon , while I was at the garden center 'Going Green', it was at 15.99 euro but it's slightly larger than the plants you used for your clump style. There were other Japanese maples and all were at 15.99 euro but then there were other maples (so not Japanese) and they were at 5.99 euro. Other plants like shrubs, you can already get between 2.99 euro (for example Lonicera nitida) and 8.99 euro (for example a Japanese Prunus). Maybe at not so specific shops, like big supermarkets, you can get them as well here for cheaper, I don't know.
👍👌👌
Thanks Bruce 👍
Thanks Jason, i have admired a maple clump created by Bjorn Bjornholm but was put off trying one myself as i thought it would take too long to fuse but if you are saying that it could be fusing after a year i think it is worth a go.
Definitely give it a go Andrew - it’s a relatively inexpensive and easy project to start and worth while.
What is the workstation/work area with your name on it?
That is a potting tray from the local big box hardware store.
