Love your videos, Corin, they give me a lot of pleasure. I have a few small trees ( small elms from B&Q and a few airlayers from my garden ), but over the past year, I have slowly become disabled. Due to nerve damage, I struggle to use my arms and can no longer feel my hands and fingers. Wiring is now impossible, and my wife puts scissors or pruners in my hand and helps me to try and trim them. So you see, I really appreciate seeing your wonderful work, please keep making them......Take care,. John. ( Belfast )

Hi guys great video as usual. Can I make a suggestion, when it comes to follow up video of the progress of a tree you have been working on. For a first time viewer to the channel they will have to search through future videos in the hope that they can find the video. You could drop a link into the description when you do the video or add an end screen.

Good tutorial! In earlier days, I had to find out the hard way after having a few Japanese Maples growing in my garden for a few years (before digging them out again). They really are very powerfull "growers". Luckily, they turn out to be very tolerant to quite harsh interventions too... Nice job, mister Corin! But I'm a bit amazed that they seem to answer so well to pure akadama at your place. I guess you have a lot of rain during the growing season?

Found my Acer Palmatum Sharps Pygmy root strangled as I kept it 2 years after purchase in the same pot, had to go abroad for a project. As bad as I found it the tree was def strangled before already. Started to chop the roots I realised quick there is hardly anything left once I finish. Took off only about 2/3rd of what would be required hoping the tree will survive. Added sphagnum moss around the bottom to aid root development. Any other tips from you guys would be appreciated…..

@angryzombie8088 Жыл бұрын

About the double stacked root, personally I would cut the bigger lower root because it wont help the tree get into shallow pot. Secondly that lower root is just too big it wont help the tree getting an evenly spreading nebari. In fact, cutting off that big root will encourage the smaller upper root to grow bigger. Third, that lower root is way below the nebari line, a little bit lower & it would be a tap root.

I've never understood this method.. is this the same method that the Japanese use to develope their maples. I feel like it will always have a lot of scars no matter how long you try to let them heal and typically there shouldn't be any carving or deadwood on maples?? I'm saying this to say that I try to develope my maples over time with branch selection at times where the wounds will 100% heal. So my maples already look the way I want them to but they are just not as big as I'd like them. So they will keep the same shape and branches but over the years keep going into bigger snd bigger pots. Is your method only for rapid trunk growth and mass production? Or am I doing it wrong?

@greenwoodbonsaistudio Жыл бұрын

The carving isn’t done to make deadwood. It’s carved back to get a cleaner better cut that will heal just like the cuts you do on your maples.

Can't help but get a wallet ache when I see bonsai experts toss half a scoop of akadama next to the pot it needs to go into. I have a low income due to partial disability and I'm Dutch lol

@murray821 Жыл бұрын

These maples have great movement, but not much taper, don’t you find that a problem? They look like they were shaped as a 1 meter few year old seedlings that were left to thicken up. Perhaps airlayer them in half and let a new leader grow. Don’t get me wrong, they are amazing trees. And in full leaf they would look stunning, but the lack of taper above the middle part bothers me.

@greenwoodbonsaistudio Жыл бұрын

All are different, that's why it is important to reduce the thickness at the tops of them.

@janegardener1662 Жыл бұрын

FDA stands for "Food and Drug Administration". The USDA ("United States Department of Agriculture") controls the importation of trees into the United States because of its desire to keep exotic fungi and insects out of the US. It's a complicated process but it can be done. p.s I find it reprehensible that you think it's acceptable to impose your right wing political nonsense onto this gardening forum.

@plantdesigns7889 Жыл бұрын

It's to prevent invasive disease, insects, and plants from coming to the US. The blight that destroyed the American Chestnut was brought here from China. That is why they regulate produce and plants.

Flaws of the main tree that makes it unappealing to me : - the trunk curves are 2D, no depth in 3D - curves are excessive - bottom 2/3rd lacks trunk taper & looks more like a python than a tree trunk - root flare & surface roots are mediocre This problem is present in a few other trees also, seen around 1:43 Many Indonesian bonsai channels show how they create great surface roots & trunk taper. I maintain a playlist called Surface Roots / Trunk Taper, in case you want to know what my benchmark is
