Turning an ordinary Alberta Spruce into a beautiful bonsai! Full explanation!

We posted a new update about this spruce on May 24th. The tree is doing very well with a lot of new growth. This new video debunks some of the critiques we have received and gives a further explanation on our techniques and vision.

I'm east coast if I traveled to you could you sell me a bonsai? I love your work!!!

Very good video, I learned so much! Thanks

Wonderful Collection

We've posted a few updates about this tree as a short. It is very much alive and doing quite well. Our last update showed plenty of new growths.

i just got an alberta spruce, is it safe to prune and repot at the same time this time of year??

Clear explanation and nice work! 👍👍

Lovely info! I have an Italian stone pine 'xmas tree' that needs a design upgrade to bonsai. I cleaned it up, but was unsure how to proceed.
Now I will take another look and get it done! Thank you.

2 years ago, I did an experiment with Dwarf Alberta. I used a trunk splitter and split it in several directions around the trunk. I wrapped it in garden tape and put some curves in it with anker points. Left the tape on for a year and a half (removed in summer), and it completely healed. All the splits filled in with sap and held the curves. It thickened the base quite a bit because I put more slpits lower down. The tree wasn't very interesting at first, so I thought I'd try something new. It's definitely interesting now!

Very good video and information.

"gold" 😂😂😂 quality.

Do you sell large chinese bonsai pots?

I love the smell of Dwarf Alberta Spruce, have created and sold several, biggest issue is they don't like to hold wire but you have to let the tree be the tree and enjoy what it creates.

When making a Pine into a bonsai please don't trim the roots if you are going to trim the branches at the same time. Conifers don't like major disturbances to the branches and roots at the same time. I would be surprised if this little tree lives.

Please use a microphone! It will make your already good videos SO much better! 👍

Hi There. great video. I have 4 or5 of these from christmas decorations to hopefully turn into bonsai. This is a great place to start. I tried doing that last spring and it died! I probably removed too much foliage. Is that a common problem? Or maybe bad time of year? I am in southwest Pennsylvania.
Thanks!

Thank you for the great demonstration, nice close up views are very helpful, you don’t get to see that very often with other bonsai videos, thanks from Melbourne, Australia. 🇦🇺😁 have subscribed.

Loved your video and I subscribed to your channel.

Excellent thank you! Subscribed! I have two dwarf Alberta Spruce trees waiting for me to work on, but wasn’t sure what approach to take. This is very motivating, thank you! I’ve been learning bonsai for about a year, and I’d love to come down and see you guys.

nice demo and explanation

So drastic root pruning!!!!!!
