Rescuing a Half Dead Juniper

Күн бұрын

A customer has brought their San Jose juniper to me after it had fallen off its plinth and a branch broken.
With every tree there is always more than one possibility, in this video I take you through various possibilities.
After potting we do some carving and apply lime sulphur.

It's hard to admit that you've screwed up. I had a lovely triple truck white pine pre-bonsai that was going to be absolutely amazing.

I killed two of the trucks and I'm still nursing it back to health 2 years later.

I would have loved to see this tree styled as a cascade or semi-cascade with the live portion cascading. I think that would have looked fantastic.

The soil looks too heavy and wet for that tree..? I’m happy to see that you made that tree so beautiful again! Nice healthy soil, and new look!! Well done Peter!!!

I love the way you do bonsai I came from another channel and that dude was essentially a narcissist trying to control the tree to a painful degree.

Nigel Sanders in the bonsai zone, I don’t know what it is about that guy but he gives me the absolute creeps the way he talks about bonsai’s and the way he treats them.

@@elisabetaeross1454 he’s one of the best people in the bonsai community although he’s not very entertaining. If you’ve seen other videos of herons you would see he does a lot of the same things as nigel. That’s just bonsai.
