    Of all the bonsai video tutors I find you the best. Iโ€™m a complete newcomer, and you are really good at talking through the decisions you make and why. You explain everything in simple language, and explain terms we might not understand. Iโ€™m really learning a lot, and itโ€™s giving me confidence to try things with my own trees. Thank you!

    I have found that with the natural crazy zig zag growth habit these are good for clip and grow pruning, and also for dramatic looking windswept designs. Their naturally tiny leaf size is great for bonsai and the April blossom is just divine.

    Fabulous! I had no idea there was such a plant as a Fuji Cherry till I started watching bonsai videos few weeks ago. Thanks for the great lesson. ๐Ÿ‘

    Thanks Darren, another great video! Questions would be: How to deal with fungal issues? How to prune for ramification? how do fruit trees differ from other deciduous? What are the styling goals? ...take your pick :) thankyou, all the best!
  • Nice work Darren ๐Ÿ‘ Love how you've styled this. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

    Bravo! Great work and REALLY great tutorial. Keep growing. Thanks
  • Just found your channel. I really liked the informative nature of this video. I also LOVE start from scratch, nursery materialโ€ฆ because I believe that is what so many that want to try Bonsai need to see. Look forward to seeing more.
