In this video I take a large pine that hasn’t been worked on in 30 years. I transfer this from a bush to a credible bonsai.

I am now a retired landscape maintenance contractor in Oregon. Over the yeas I have had great success in reducing size of overgrown garden Mugo Pines. Most contractors just top them with hedge shears. I found using hand pruners was faster and more precise. Mugo pines have epicormic buds and back bud very easy even on very old wood. That permitted me to reduce the size of overgrown trees and keep them attritive to my customers, In my bonsai yard I have a small Mugo pine that I am working on. I tend to go slow in creating my bonsais.

Hello, you are doing exactly what I am trying to do and that comforts me in my choices. Mugo pines have the advantage of not requiring too much maintenance, which is perfect for me. the result is superb…I will make more jin next time because it’s really nice. I put them in a big pot but for another reason, I can only water them once a day, and as it makes a heavy set, no one steals them from me.

Liked how you resisted and resisted the Jin until the last minute and then finally used it to solve the bar branch problem - great example of not doing Jin for the sake of it. The right hand Jin is nice with the gap around it as you can really envisage the space the fallen branch used to fill. One of my favourites!

It's amazing how a tree can actually break out of its pot to escape its confinement. There is a lesson there. Never quit trying. I know Ivy is invasive but that ivy was kind of proportionate for the tree...I thought it was a unique look if kept small.

@creightonfreeman8059 Жыл бұрын

What bothered me about the branch you jinned, the one you called a bar branch, was that it appeared parallel with the branch below it. Also, it was on the inside of the curve of the trunk of the tree so it breaks the line. Even as a Jin it is parallel the branch below and inside the curve of the trunk but the defect is lessened greatly because it is shorter. What was essentially raw material is now well on its way to becoming a presentable Bonsai. It is very enjoyable watching you work Chan Sifu.

@dimitrylowie Жыл бұрын

I agree with this, but I would cut away that jin and also the bar branch below it on the left side. I can see why they want to keep it, but no matter what you do that will always look like a bar branch.

It's a double edged sword isn't it. The relative neglect of the tree (it's clearly been tended and is full of growth) provides great raw material potential over time. But when Peter has worked some magic on it, will it look nice for a short time and fall into neglect again....

@MostlyIC Жыл бұрын

"the customer expects a miracle" --- because you're always doing them 🙂 !!!. IMHO the difference between a bush and a bonsai is the bush is full and the bonsai has open spaces between the branches, you can see through a bonsai but you cann't see through a bush, so its all about creating the spaces, "byte the bullet" means creating open space !

Elms suffer from many leaf diseases - some are viral. Try spraying with a mildew spray - that might work. Alternatively cut off all the leaves and burn them.

Could you pressure wash the roots. Water would flush the soil from the roots instead of the metal rake which seems inefficient in 2023. A wonderfully neglected tree. I see it as a method. Every ten years shape a pine tree and then neglect it.

That's too much disturbance for an established tree, and just not necessary.
