I prune various trees larch, yew, pine and maples to name a few and I also show you a previous KZfaq project.

Leave it for 2 yrs before pruning if you are serious on growing it. Average recovery time for collected specie is 3-4 yrs developing new roots

@IRONHORSE427RACING 2 жыл бұрын

@@9svm I have found too the length of time you need to go before starting to train a specific species of tree depends on that individual species also. Spruce and some Pine and Juniper's you can start to train them after their first new growth. Here we have the Ground Juniper and you can start training them as soon as you know a transplant has gone to root and puts on its first new growth. My best Bonsai to date is a Black Hills Spruce that we brought home coming on 3 yrs ago this October. It honestly grew in a crack in a boulder then around a chunk of granite rock to get to water ! It was a little over 14" tall but had a trunk that was nearly 4 1/2" in diameter and it was all twisted and it's growth stunted by lack of water and because of the Altitude it was growing at. we brought it rock and all home and we will of had it here growing in a Pot we designed and the Wife made for it (Pottery and Photography are her hobbies) this October for 3 yrs. I started training it the first spring after pruning it and it's the center piece in our entryway to our home where it gets morning to mid afternoon sun year round. I tell everybody All we did was prune and train it a little....MOTHER NATURE did the rest....lol.

I thought of this when you know when & where you have started each bonsai. I'm sure you have some great memory's looking back at your business & what you have created.

The most common advice I've seen in the bonsai forums is to get LOTS of plants because the worst thing you can do to a bonsai is show it too much love because it's all you have to work on. Constantly messing with it...Peter has thousands of trees and proves this is true by quickly giving it a haircut and moving on to the next one that needs a LITTLE attention.

This is very true. I only have two bonsai but I try to leave them alone as much as possible. One was repotted last year but I'm allowing them to take on some growth this year so I can restyle them next year. No rush!

The mentioned famous tree ist not on the outside, it is on page 72 / 73 but it is the same picture. Thank you very much to show the tree and tell the story behind it. For me, if I look at the picture, the first thing I see is definitly the blue pot. This is a very good exampel about the interaction between the Pot and the Tree. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience!!!

It’s something you have to consider carefully before taking that leap. Love these videos though and I wish I had the experience to be able to prune with that efficiency. Impressive.

I have it wired and have seen some success from wiring it earlier in the year already. I look forward to seeing it's autumn colour, but, of course the real star is the bark. The bark is very rugged looking with those paler lines going down it. It has not produced seeds for me this year, but that's ok. If it produces seeds I'll propagate a few more.

I enjoy listening to you speak about the trees and hearing your thought process on training the trees - it makes me feel like I am in the room with you and learning. So I know you get comments about the length of your videos but I love it! Keep up the amazing content. If I had to have a wish for your videos, it would be for before and after videos, like watching a video from a year or 2 ago, I'd love to see an update of the tree with a before and after :)

I enjoyed this very much. I really get a lot of inspiration from watching you work so effortlessly. Makes me realize that my hobby is a form of meditative distraction for me, in my unbelievably, stressful life. I was sitting yesterday evening, looking at my benches full of my trials and errors, and contemplating how I am going to have to chop the trunks on two of my Tridents at some point. They are about 12 years old, but have very slight taper from the root base along their height. ( These were bonsai nursery stock I bought this year ) I have done trunk chopping in the past with my Japanese maples, and Dawn Redwoods, but the massive loss of the tree on these Tridents will mean years of "grow back" just to start training again. At my age, I sometimes find myself just leaving them and concentrating on branch training, and ramification, knowing I may not be here to see them through the process of re-growth....I should have started learning this many, MANY years ago...

@michaelhoward487 2 жыл бұрын

I totally understand your regret for not starting your bonsai journey earlier in life. At nearly 73, I've only been on this marvelous path for 5 years. It's been a marvelous learning experience and an adventure in creative growth (pun intended). I don't worry about my potential lifespan--I consider it as open-ended.

@somersetreefer1168 Жыл бұрын

Wire marks most certainly have a time and place. I wrapped the trunks of a load of larch saplings 3 years ago. Probably frowned upon by purists, but it's given me 20+ twisty shohin trees that have brilliant taper in their trunks now. No wire in sight either as it's now contained inside the trunk! Literally 4/5 years to a very believable tree.

Are there justifications for using an unglazed, porous pot for a pine to allow the pot to shed salts and allow air exchange? And also, a glazed pot would better maintain humidity for moisture- loving trees such as maples. Curious.
