This Trident Maple is on its way to becoming a great bonsai. I will prune it back some more to thicken the trunk and give me more design possibilities. Please follow along with your own bonsai!

  1. I agree with the reorienting of the tree. It really enhances the look of the tree. Another good video on designing our Bonsai. Thank you.

  2. I love the shape of that tree! It'll definitely look better with it's new angle! 😀 Excellent video, Milton!

    EDIT: OH YES! I hope your Christmas was wonderful, Milton!

  3. Milton, to be honest, I wouldn't have found the repotting boring and would have enjoyed watching it. 😉

  4. Hi Milton,

    This is a gorgeous tree and a nice video! I was curious what soil mix you were using since you said it supports your tree well. Is this a soil mix you just use for trident maples, or does it work for a variety of trees aside from e.g. an azalea which needs acidic soil?
