You CAN create Stunning Bonsai from Nursery Plants! | The Fuji Cherry (Ep3)

In this 3rd year of my *Nursery Plant to Bonsai* series, I continue working on my humble Fuji Cherry purchased for just £10 in 2022. I am now ready to start building the *primary structure* — the essential framework for any future bonsai. 🌸

Along the way, I explain the *difference between flower buds and leaf buds* so you can prune with confidence, and I revisit my *easy 3-step guide* to pruning any deciduous tree. Packed with *close-up demonstrations* and **practical tips**, this tutorial is perfect for beginners who want to turn inexpensive nursery stock into something truly special.

🌿 *Highlights:*

Building a strong primary structure from scratch
Flower buds vs. leaf buds explained
The simple 3-step pruning guide
Fuji Cherry bonsai care tips
Ideal for beginners using nursery plants
