Thank you so much for posting this video. I’m new to bonsai and I’m still soaking up all the advice I can get , and in terms of deciding on a front , this have been the best explanation I have seen so far ! I am working my way through your videos . I already know I’ve messed up with my choice of fronts on some of my trees so far, but they are young and I am sure I can now work on rectifying that. Thanks again !

A good tree has many fronts. A good rule is that if you can show the trunk and have depth in the back, your good. Cheers to another video bro, I'm making one right now!

Awesome, learning quite a bit from you in a short time! I love how concise you are while still being very informative. I actually spend most of my time with garden trees/niwaki but style elements and decisions are the same so this is helping me a lot

Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm new to Bonsai so your videos are a great learning tool. Especially this one and the one about wiring a branch. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much sir. Your teaching style is ideal for a novice like myself. Other instructors could learn a thing or two from observing you.

Jason, I purchased a Juniper Bonsai kit. The plant came planted . I'm apprehensive picking the front. Your video has given me a bit of courage to get started.

Sadly, the house has been so dry this winter even with a humidifier my tree had died. 😁😡

This was helpful...bought my first tree the other day to work on and the shape is 'interesting' to say the least, lol. I've now fallen down a rabbit hole of watching Bonsai videos.

@easternleaf 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Olver, the yellowing could be caused by a few reasons, lack of water, pests, or not enough sunlight reaching inner foliage. You might have to troubleshoot all of those things. If it's none of those things, you can just throw a little bit of iron on there. Hope this helps!
