Crab Apple Trunk Chops To Thicken Your Bonsai - 5 Years later
This is a crab apple I bought from from a home store that was pencil thick. The last 5 years I have trunk chopped it and then just let it grow. I plan on doing it for a few more until I get the size and taper I'm looking for.
Any Questions please don't hesitate.
Think about become a Patreon so I can devote more time to this channel and provide even more content for you as this take a lot of time, despite already working a full time job and really enjoying doing this channel! patreon.com/Gi...
I simply do Bonsai in parallel with my busy life as a way to relax and connect to nature. I approach bonsai with a very simple approach, simple tools, and just start working.
More updates to come, and thank you for watching.

What a tough old tree! Looking forward to seeing how it looks at the end of the growth season.

Thanks - I have great plans for this guy but it's just a waiting game now. I'll see what other trouble I can get into.

Thank you! - tend to get carried away with the fun of editing
I think it is staring at me. It's creeping me out! 🤪

Perhaps a touch heavy on the sound effects and elevator music? Plus if you were already going hard on audio editing why include the fart…

That's just my editing style, not everyone likes the same cup of tea - but I was always told better to let it out then in Thanks for watching though!
Are you not concerned about the snap at the base of the grafted leader?

It's only half snapped, so it should still grow, if not there is a bud at the top. We'll see and I'll do a spring update
What wound sealer do you use?

Just petroleum jelly, simple but works perfectly fine
