In this lecture Bjorn introduces the final stage of development: building the branch structure. In this first lecture we focus on very early stage three development, working on a Juniper. See: https://www.bonsaiempire.com/courses/developing-from-seed Going from stage two to stage three development, we might still be concerned with the trunk line and apex, but we do start to work on setting the main branch structure. At this point, early stage three, we still need strong growth to speed up the development - meaning we fertilize strongly. The great thing of working with Junipers is that any sacrifice branch or apex can be turned into deadwood features easily. This video is a free preview lecture from our Developing Bonsai from Seed course.

Much like bonsai focuses on the relationship between the tree and the container—kusamono focuses on the relationship between the understory and the container. In this video, we create kusamono compositions pairing succulents with ceramic vessels to play with color, texture, form, scale, and proportional design opportunities. Grow your creative outlook of kusamono plantings, get inspired to create your own, or give the gift of the understory with our kusamono kit available in the Mirai Goods: https://goods.bonsaimirai.com/collections/kusamono-vessels/products/kusamono-kit
