GROW BONSAI FROM SEED - YEAR 2 - TAP ROOTS: Here is the year-2 bonsai work required to turn a seedling into a future bonsai tree. This means cutting off the large tap root, or in some cases using a tourniquet to encourage new roots some way up the tap root.
I demonstrate the tap root chop and the tourniquet method on several different oak seedlings. Pyrenean Oaks, and English oaks or Royal oaks.
