Hi Everyone! In this video I show you how to EASILY create a beautiful Bonsai tree from an Eastern White Cedar (Thuja Occidentalis)

This is an easy to follow tutorial for anyone who is new to bonsai and even if you have been practicing it for a long time! I am showing you is what has always worked for me and I believe is the easiest and best way for beginners!

Although this is not a common species of Cypress for Bonsai, I believe it makes an excellent tree as a Bonsai. The Eastern White Cedar is quite hardy and evergreen, easy to care for and does well in a cool climate. Most of all they have a beautiful vibrant green foliage that's similar to the more popular Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis Obtusa).
