In this video, Jason works on a 1 gallon nursery juniper (Juniper Procumbrens Nana). To help beginners just starting out, he discusses common trouble branches that are commonly cut. These branches include upper branches, lower branches, eye poker branches, bar branches, spoke branches, parallel branches, and pocket branches. He also discusses how to start the foundation of your bonsai tree by eliminating and choosing ideal branches. Hosted by Jason Chan of Eastern Leaf.

First thank you for the video. Very well thought out and executed. I am brand new to this hobby. Everyone seems to agree that potting soil is out. No matter the pot or size of the tree. But I have to ask why is the small trees from the large lumber stores and greenhouses and other places, always come in potting soil and doing very well? Including the tree in your video. It seems to me that at least a mix of potting soil might help to accumulate the tree during repotting, or the shock of first pruning. But really these pine trees grow fine in regular soil, so what makes shaping into a bonsi cause them to not be able to use miracle grow soil and fertilizer for that matter? Thank you!

Nice clear instructions thank you for the inspiration. Dude just a little bit of feedback, when you’re asking us to look at a particular part of the plant you continue to stare down the camera which causes me to feel distracted. My suggestion is you look where you want us to look.

Another solid reason to eliminate "pocket branches": in nature they generally die out, you will rarely see a branch in that position in a mature tree.

I gasped when he cut that branch off! I'm new to bonsai so I am too scared to really cut back that far. How do you gauge what is "too far"? Obviously the tree still needs foliage for photorespiration, but how do you know that you've got enough left? Besides the obvious answer: it dies.

I am growing my 1st Japanese Black Pine Bonsai Tree and Honestly I am scared that I might mess my Bonsai Tree up with not knowing which branches to clip and where to clip very much like Daniel-san in The Original The Karate Kid was when he was afraid that he would mess up Mr. Miyagi's Bonsai Trees. I just remember that Mr. Miyagi told Daniel-san, "Close eyes. Make picture of perfect Bonsai. Open eyes. Make Bonsai like picture. I know that it sounds like a cliche... but I am scared that I might ruin my Bonsai when it grows
