Sir, you are by far the most underrated of TH-cam bonsai artists. Your explanations are detailed yet clear and succinct. Coupled with very nice close-up photography makes your presentations not only educational but enjoyable to watch. Thank-you for your valuable contributions to this enjoyable hobby.
Wow Don, I am blushing. Thank you so much for your kind words. I am passionate about bonsai and love sharing it with others so they may in turn enjoy the hobby more. Thank you so much for your encouragement.
Great video packed full of clearly-presented and well-explained information. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!
Awesome Andrew, so glad it was helpful
I had never heard that buds needed to be cut completely flat. thank you for that awesome tip
You bet! You should compare cuts, make some cuts diagonally and some flat. Then later in the growing season compare how the buds develop at those cut sites. You will then be thoroughly convinced I am sure. :)
Thanks Terry. Excellent as always 👍
Very welcome
Just an amazing and well explained video Terry, just as every single one that you've got. I've learned more with 4 of your pine videos than reading, asking and watching other videos for a year. Thank you very much 👏🏻👏🏻🌱
Wow, I’m so glad. Working on pines can be so confusing especially if you listen to what multiple people say. Their advice might be fine but when you combine it all the mix might not be ;)
Thanks terry! Love the advanced content. Many people show flashy transformations but we all know these operations like decandleing are what really makes a good bonsai.
Thank you Sir. True words those for sure. Achieving a beautiful bonsai is the sum of years of daily small steps. Sometimes it can be theatrical but most times is methodical.
Great video and very good explanation, as usual. I have found it very useful! Thank you Terry!
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic black pine and very interesting video! Thank you very much for sharing 👍👍👍👍
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic knowledge drop yet again, good sir. Great job showing the technique, and the “why” behind it. My winters are too cold for double-flush, I’m envious. Keep sharing, brother. I appreciate you.
Thanks 👍
What a wonderfull class.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks a lot for such a great knowledge and interest. Thank you, is great to have this material.
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video, thanks a lot.
My pleasure Gerrit!
Another superb video , very informative.I would love if you can do ones on Japanese White Pines . Well Done Terry 👏👏
Great suggestion!
Excelente explicación muy detallada
¡Muchas gracias señor! Me alegra que te haya gustado el contenido.
very beatiful tree.💞💞💞
Thank you so much 😊
I have a question: few years ago I cut the candle, the new buds started growing a little bit and died the whole tree, a year later another black pine died same thing, don’t know why?
The tree may have been too weak to decandle. The stress was too much and it died. Could have been other factors of course like getting too dry but I am guessing now.
It’s not so simple to answer this without over simplifying things. However the trees might have been too weak to decandle. Other some other factor which I am not aware of from your comment.
Hi - another great video. Do most of the points also apply to scots pine?
Great question but as I don’t have one I cannot answer. If it’s a double flush pine then yes. If not then no
Very nice video, it's possible to repot the tree after this?
Not a good idea to the best of my knowledge. Either action would weaken the tree, combining them may kill it. I’d be very cautious if I were you.
What a great channel! If it was a single flush species, do you simply ignore this step and select buds at the end of the growing season?
Ah, great question but one which cannot be answered properly in this text. Essentially yes, you dont decandle although sometimes you might break the candle in half. Needle length and candle strength is controlled by fertilizing and watering etc.
Hi great info thanks. have you done any videos on white pines on their own root stock. I’m particularly thinking about repotting. I live in the uk
Thanks Stephen. No I have not as I don’t have or have access to a non miyajima gotomatsu. Repotting them is pretty much the same as black pine but as their root system is much weaker I would repot using the 50/50 method (repot half the tree and then 2 years later the other half). This would be safer.
Cheers Terry. Keep up the good work I love the detail you give in your videos
As always a great video filled with so much information! I still want that apron! Was the apron expensive?
Ha ha! ZAR1200 or so I believe. www.woodheads.co.za/bespoke-woodheads-leather-aprons
I've read that decandling should be done in 3 stages from bottom to the top and over a week or two because the lower branches are the weaker branches and it assures the development of new buds in those weaker areas first. Than the mid-region, then lastly the top third. Thoughts?
There are many ways to decandle pines. This method is not wrong but I’ve yet to find a pine which grows in zones. You will get candles of varying strength of course but they will not be restricted to the apex. I did state in this and other videos that you can apply the method you describe but this means getting the same tree on your work table at three separate occasions. I prefer to leave a stub on the strong candles, a shorter stub on medium candles and no stub on weak one. It results in the same result as the method you describe but you work the tree once.
@@TerryErasmusbonsai thank you for your answer. I do enjoy your videos and I appreciate your meek and humble manner when teaching.
👍👍
Thank you!
Great video, very informative. I would like to see a similar video on BP's that are in development. The tree in this video is very developed and obviously in refinement. These techniques, as I understand it, are not correct for trees in development
Great suggestion! But I believe I covered that in this video: th-cam.com/video/58FmPOxEyhQ/w-d-xo.html
@@TerryErasmusbonsai Thanks Terry. I was fairly sure you would have done a video on the subject, but I had trouble finding it. I have to say that it is refreshing to watch Bonsai vids from the southern hemisphere ( I live in Melbourne Australia) so all the advise and timings of procedures are correct for my climatic zone. Thanks
@@paulrigby2190 never thought of it that way! That’s great.
We can decandel the black pine every year? Or is it better not to do it every year because of health?!
If the pine is healthy you can and should do it annually. However if you repot most likely not. Also, if for some reason such as disease or other the tree weakens and the spring candle growth is weak then you need to withhold decandling. Decandling should not be performed as a matter of routine
@@TerryErasmusbonsaiI guessed that what happened to my black pine, I remembered my pine was weak and I cut the candle, few weeks later new buds grew out a little and died the whole tree, so sad
I’m sorry to hear that. Yes this is the danger about decandling. The tree needs to be very healthy to do it. However it is not common for it to die as a result of a single decandling when weak so perhaps there was another factor involved too.
@@TerryErasmusbonsai so if we skip decandling then the branches getting longer? I still learn…

Beautiful tree! Someone cut the needles eh?
Thanks. Yes. I cut the needles. Makes the outline look more crisp when I took it back to my customer. Of course for aesthetic reasons only and not horticultural. Cutting needles are a perfectly acceptable practise when styling a tree. The tips do brown after a while but that doesn’t bother me.
@@TerryErasmusbonsai I agree, I’ve done it many times! Especially nursery stock!
Love your vids and always a learning experience , thanks for sharing Terry!!
How to make a brilliant subject, as boring as possible….
Well fortunately there are many other brilliant channels on TH-cam to watch.
