In this video Terry Erasmus demonstrates various approaches and techniques for working on field grown bonsai material, particularly Trident maples, in Autumn. The focus is on preparing material to be lifted in Spring, but also to take the next steps on material which is not yet ready to be lifted.

Very interesting seeing the fall pruning techniques used on your trident maples. Some very lovely specimens you have there - just amazing!! Unbelievable how quickly those large wounds have healed - will definitely be trying similar with my trees. I guess that weed management is the less glamorous side of field growing that most of us don't think about. Looks like there is never a shortage of work for you to do!

@TerryErasmusbonsai Ай бұрын

Thank you Sue. Yes when you’re a bonsai grower there is always plenty of work to do especially wire on and then wire off work! 🤣 Thanks, yes, these trunks are getting there now and hopefully will soon move onto the next phase of their development.

@TerryErasmusbonsai Ай бұрын

Thanks Stephen. That’s very kind, but you’re being modest because you certainly know how to develop some awesome field grown stuff yourself! Gotta love them Tridents though. Very forgiving when it comes to healing over scars and in my opinion the result makes for a much more interesting tree too.

Very cool Terry, I always learn a lot with your videos... You were crucial for my first trident maple development, and I'm loving to grow it on the ground, I only have space for one at the moment, but it definatelly worth the spot... You also helped me save that tree from a serious fungal issue. My maple is almost leafless here, didn't show much colors this year. I'm planning to lift the tree from the ground this year to work on it's base, but I'm insecure to cut the sacrifice branch now, could I wait a little more, like until mid winter?

@TerryErasmusbonsai 5 күн бұрын

Thank you so much, I am glad you have learnt something from some of my content. Field growing is truly awesome, well done. Actually it depends. If you want back budding then better to cut the sacrifice in late spring. If you don't need back budding then yes you can cut any time now till mid or late winter probably. Just bear in mind that if you do root work that the tree will take roughly 2 years to get back to the current energy level.

Thanks Terry, really great videos. Field grown maples are very rewarding, but don't you think sometimes the taper is a little excessive?

@TerryErasmusbonsai Ай бұрын

Thanks Massimiliano for your comment. This aesthetic is quite personal. I have some extremely chunky trunks and some very much less so. None that I would describe as feminine though. Excessive? No, I don’t think so but variety is the spice of life so one could definitely grow more feminine trunks too.

Great vidoe as always Terry ! Can tthe same be done/ Applied for potted developing trees ? This time of year for cutting back hard to produce tertiary branches ? Big structural change on an elm Cheers

@TerryErasmusbonsai Ай бұрын

Thanks so much! Best time is late spring for that. Now would be 2nd best and you will need to allow room for sap to recede.

@W9SL9Y Ай бұрын

Some beautiful trunks growing out in Somerset there Terry! 🤩Do you ever perform nemawashi on these trees or do you do all the root development once dug up and potted?

@TerryErasmusbonsai Ай бұрын

Hi Wesley! Thanks buddy. No. I used to dig the trees every few years to cut the roots back but stopped. You lose a year of development if you do that. When I dig them, as you have seen, I cut all the roots off anyways. But it’s important to start with good roots ie a cutting or air layering to begin with.

@trenjacobs7984 Ай бұрын

Wonderful content Terry, how many years did you grow it before the first chop?

@TerryErasmusbonsai Ай бұрын

Thank you so much Tren, around 5 years at a guess. Depends on the tree and what it was started from.

Hi Terry. Thanks so much for your informative videos. Why is it that you didn't shaped the trunk chops at this time? Is it the wrong time of year or is it just that you had so much to do that day that you didn't have time for shaping the chops? Thanks!

@TerryErasmusbonsai Ай бұрын

I was waiting for someone to ask. Thank you. Sap is receding. If you shape a cut now the sap will recede even further away from the cut edge. So in my view the best time is latter part of spring when sap pressure is not too great that the cut bleeds, but when there is sap flow and callous formation can take place right where you shaped too.

Great content as always! How many years do you leave these tridents in the field before digging them on average and how old are they when you plant them in the field?

@TerryErasmusbonsai Ай бұрын

Thanks so much and good question! These are all on average 15 years plus from something around marker thickness if I recall (from cutting or seedling cutting). How long they can be left before digging depends on how big a tree I want as I have removed a bunch already a number of years ago as I wanted much smaller (in height) trees.

@bigbonk3841 Ай бұрын

are there any more gradual or mid-season techniques to use that avoid such massive chops

@TerryErasmusbonsai Ай бұрын

Sure! Just cut the growth sooner instead of leaving it for a few years cut after one year. Scars are smaller but it will take much longer to get big trunks. If you watched till the end you would have seen that all the scars created in previous years are completely healed over. However whatever route you decide to follow is fine.

Hi Terry, This video is full of information and I love it. I have one query. Which chemical or compound you use as cut paste coz I am not able find any with the name of cut paste in India I only get fundicide like copper oxychloride for cuts is that a substitute of cut paste if not please tell me the name of compound or chemical so that I can buy it. Thanks in advance!

@TerryErasmusbonsai Ай бұрын

The product I use is Top Jin sealer. I believe it’s a Japanese product. I import it from Japan anyways. You should be able to order it online yourself from Kaneshin tools online along with Karusmeito. We stock these products but don’t ship to India. Sorry I don’t know what chemical you can use.
