I like the fact that your based in the southern hemisphere. Helps me get my head around times to do certain things since like here your not covered in snow half a year!

Thanks John! ha ha ha, yes I've always suffered from the same mental calculation from the times I was taught in Japan or those you will get from other bonsai professionals on KZfaq in the northern hemisphere.

Apologies Ali. I thought I answered you already. Please read this article I wrote on collecting olives: www.bonsaitree.co.za/blogs/tree-talk/8-tips-for-post-collection-care-of-wild-olives

I always put collected olives in full sun. Makes the new buds pop faster. I have a similar climate here in Australia 🇦🇺

Good information Terry. Question: can i apply these techniques to a Pinus pinnea and a pinus halepensis? And how can I know if a pine (except black and red) is a double flush species?

@TerryErasmusbonsai 2 жыл бұрын

No Sabik, those pines are not double flush pines. When you cut the candles in spring or early summer if they do not grow new candles in the same season then they are not double flush pines. You need to manage your pines in much the same way as white pines which are also not double flush pines.

Very interested to see you use vinegar to control moss growth. I'm assuming you're using regular cooking vinegar (5% acidity) and not "cleaning" or horticultural vinegar? Also, how long do you wait to water your trees after applying the vinegar to avoid exposure to the roots? Super interesting video. Thanks!

@TerryErasmusbonsai 2 жыл бұрын

It’s normal grape vinegar, nothing special. I don’t know what the acidity % is, sorry. I water the following day. But this does not really matter as the vinegar kills the moss instantly. There is potential to damage the root system but only if you drench with the vinegar. For the first few days afterwards I usually water very well so any effect will be diluted. (I’ve been doing this for years without any problems and it works very effectively). Thanks for watching!

Great video Terry. Thank you for sharing! Curious...how easy/difficult is it to import bonsai into South Africa? Here in the US we wish it could be easier to have access to this fantastic material at better prices.

@TerryErasmusbonsai Жыл бұрын

Thanks Victor. We are able to import some species. It’s not easy. It’s a difficult process and there are some paperwork challenges and of course at any stage something can go wrong but it is possible. I am not sure it would be much cheaper than good material in you case were you able to import as agents in Japan add sizeable commission, processing fees and of course shipping is very expensive currently too.

@@TerryErasmusbonsai Thank you Terry. Yes, it probably it's too much of a gamble for this to be worth it. Here in the US Azaleas are, for whatever reason, less restricted, but still quarantine and bare rooting must be applied, presenting challenges. Thank you again for your excellent learning platform!

@@victortaboada2058 thanks! Yes bare rooting is high risk for sure. Take care.
