In Part Three, the finale, we wire and trim the branches, and we pot our juniper bonsai tree in a bonsai pot. Note: we potted this tree in July just to do the video, and it will need some special attention to survive the hot weather. DO NOT cut roots in hot weather, unless you are working on a ficus, bougainvillea or other tropical variety of tree.

hey man just wanted to say that that was awesome! You’re an artist dude. I’m starting bonsai now and that helped me so much and inspired me.
Thanks
Thanks for the info!!!
Decomposed granite. It is used to make garden paths and patios — you will see it used a lot on HGTV. You can buy it at sand and gravel yards, and some building supply stores.
1 part decomposed what?
There are a number of online retailers that sell bonsai pots. Dallas Bonsai Garden is one of the better ones, and they have something similar to the one I used here. Ebay is also a good source.
hi i am trying to find pot for the tree can you tell me where to get it
Thanks slot chasnsx.
I replied to your private message, but for the viewers, here’s the short version: House of Bonsai in Lakewood, CA, Chikugo En in Gardena, Yamaguchi Nursery in West L.A., Fuji Nursery in Sylmar, and San Gabriel Nursery in San Gabriel, CA.
Hello chasnxs, I just moved from Shelby NC toriverside CA. I would like to know if know of any bonsai nurserys in the area. I looked for some in Chino but the seem no longer excist, can you point me in the right direction?
Hello, my chas. I just moved from Shelby NC to riverside California. I love bonsai and I know you are from California your self. My question is, do you know of any bonsai nursery in the area? I look for two in Chino, and they are no longer there. Please help a fellow bonai care taker.
in the begining it looked like a total mess and i thought it was gona be a total peace of crap but i gota give to ya
Thank you for posting this chasnsx. very interesting to watch and educational. hope to see more of this from you soon. and show us after a year or so on what will it look liked . the tree that you have just did.
I’m curious, Watching you reduce the root-ball looked very indiscriminate. I understand that root pruning should focus on removing the larger tap root and larger branch roots, while trying to preserve the young feeder roots. You in essence cut 2/3rds of the root ball with no real discretion. How is this tree? Did it survive?
thanks!!
and keep making more videos, they are very usefull.
If your night temps go below 30 deg, then wait for spring.
Hi chasnsx .
please could you tell me when is the best time of the year to proced with all this process, I live in illinois and fall is almost ending and I have many junipers in galons waiting but Im not shure if this is the time for this prosess.
Great show, keep up the good work
Input the search term “bonsai” and under recent videos you should see my newest video. I actually did a segment where I mixed the soil because I had so many requests like yours.
Great job! you are very skilled.
please would you explain what is the mixture you use for bonsai soil?
You’re a GENIUS! What a fantastic series! Thank you so much for making these videos and for thinking of others. You explain everything so clearly and I love your confidence, too!
VERY inspiring! I’m going to try this as my next project. I can’t wait! You got me all excited. LOL!
Fantastic series. Easy to follow. Great job and thanks!
great job, thanks !!!
wow, thats a big transformation! nice vid!
I admit that my wiring is my weakness — I’ve been teased a few times by my Japanese sensei. With that said, I intentionally wire loosely on fast growing trees to keep the wire from cutting in, and on this tree, that is starting to happen. Watch for a follow up video on this tree in the future.
Hello there. Your video is ok. Your wiring looks really sloppy though, but all in all, your video is fun and cool to watch. Keep it up.
