  • Andrew shares 2 reasons why he put a show quality Japanese Winterberry (Ilex serrata) in a wooden box rather than a bonsai pot after displaying it at the Pacific Bonsai Expo in 2022.

    I’d appreciate a video of you creating the box itself! I want to build some this winter for the upcoming potting season.

      Planning for that in a couple months when we start repotting season

    Thats a great looking tree 💪 I'd love to hear more about your history with bonsai. How did you get started? What was it like to be an apprentice for Michael Hagedorn? How long have you had your own nursery?

      Thanks for the idea, I have a video on my apprenticeship on the shortlist!

    Cool video. I think it would be cool if you made a video on your favorite trees in your garden and what sparked your interest in the art of bonsai.

    Really appreciate the focus on deciduous material, I’m a back yard grower in South Carolina and thrive on the information. Any chance that your tree is struggling from long term nutritional issues like the guys from Apical crop science talk about with Mirai? I’m fascinated by some of the science that they have uncovered. So much so that I’ve added crushed oyster shell to my bonsai mix as a minor component to see how it impacts my personal collection! Keep the material coming!

    • @rakuyobonsai

      Glad to hear the videos are actually helping people! I'm quite doubtful it's related to nutritional issues, this just happens with old deciduous bonsai from time to time, especially shrubs. Keep us posted on your oyster shell experiment!

    Great Video and a beautiful tree! I plan on doing a native Ilex, as soon as I find a good one, might have to start from a seedling. The video seemed very dark.

    • @rakuyobonsai
      @rakuyobonsai  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Wow, it does seem dark! I am still learning the best way to use my camera and do the color balancing. I maybe made the mistake of editing the video on full brightness rather than making it look good dark

    I’m loving the uploads, Andrew! I plan on making a couple boxes this Spring. Thanks for putting this info out

    Great video, thanks. I have a few japanese maples that seem a little weak but have read up-potting to a much larger pot isn’t the best thing to do as they like up-potting in increments. What’s your view please?

    • @rakuyobonsai
      @rakuyobonsai  Před 7 měsíci

      It's okay to up-pot something as long as the volume isn't too drastically increased. 10-20% is fine

      I am really looking forward to meeting my favorite bonsai artist this spring when you are here in St. Louis for the bonsai convention )))

    Andrew, the mug begs the question, Pepe's, Sally's, or Modern?

    • @rakuyobonsai
      @rakuyobonsai  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Pepe's all the way! Been there too many times to count!

    • @jacobmichaels3246

      My man!! Pepe’s all the way indeed! 🍕🤌🏼

    Thank you for this video. I have a maple that is not doing so well. What soil mix do you use in the grow box? I have seen 2 different bottoms for grow boxes; wood with holes drilled it, and mesh. What type do you prefer?

    • @rakuyobonsai
      @rakuyobonsai  Před 7 měsíci +1

      I prefer solid bottom with lots of small holes, the tree in the video likely had 30 small holes

    • @rakuyobonsai
      @rakuyobonsai  Před 7 měsíci +1

      We use our typical akadama and pumice/perlite mix

    Hi I got some winterberry plants to grow for shohin. I wanted to know how to prune the plants to have berries close to the trunk (obviously I also have a male plant). I wanted to know if in spring by pinching I can get fruit closer to the stem thanks Pietro from Italy

    • @rakuyobonsai
      @rakuyobonsai  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Hi Pietro, pinching in the spring can definitely create compact growth which yields fruit closer to the trunk!
