Métasequoia BONSAI - Formation d'un BOSQUET - épisode 2 🌱 NEJIKAN BONSAI 🌱

In this special September back-to-school video, I offer a new episode dedicated to the Metasequoia glyptostroboides, an ideal species for bonsai beginners. Four years after the first video, I continue the transformation of a grove: pruning the trees, replacing a dead tree, rebalancing the composition, and offering aesthetic tips to enhance the overall effect. You'll learn how to effectively grow this deciduous tree, often available in garden centers or supermarkets at low prices. I also share my tips for growing, seasonal maintenance, and structural pruning, while highlighting the unique characteristics of this prehistoric tree, which is still underutilized for bonsai.
