I think this man is a kind of guru in bonsai, he speaks about 40 years of developing a bonsai trunk? Who has that patience? I would say that for us bonsai lovers, we are lucky to have Masters like him that can make this work for so many years, in order to purchase a decent bonsai. Respect for the mastery and the patience of this man.(Please excuse my English :D Greeting from Germany)
Wonderful video! Inspirational, and enlightening. This teaches so much about long term development. This means much more (to me) than videos of demo's, which go into details, when I feel the overview is what eludes many starting artists. Thank you so much! Wish there was one like this of pines, which I don't seem to understand.
Amazing video thank you. Any chance you can link me that blog from 2018 or 2019 with the info on seedlings and taproots? Also what balance of fertilizer to you use for growth on a maple
The un-developed tree explanation was helpful. There is a lot of info out there on how to work with ancient material but not a lot on how to get from seedling to quality mature stock
I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@Zayd Elijah Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Good day Bill and Oscar, beautiful trees as always. A quick question please. A friend of mine has a 2,5m trident maple in his garden and it's growing too close to a wall of his house and said I can have it. When would be the best season in which to dig it up and also the best time to trunk chop it so I can force buds on it? Thank you 😀 I'm in the middle of autumn at the moment. Regards from South Africa
I really love your technique!- you got really good exposure to your NabariI totally complements the Bonsai pots you Have them in. ,I’m also crazy in love with the Nabari on your cascade to your left side (my right )of you over there 👉 really Beautiful work! I’m Still somewhat of a rookie I’ve been in The hobby/Journey for 9 yrs -I have four Japanese Maples two are pre-bonsai (not there yet) in which one I air-layered off of the 2-trees in my back yard (4 yrs old)Originally it was three formal upright’s connected at the base Splitting three ways. I can honestly say I’m obsessed with the hubby its really all I think about..
Guy G. may have mentioned him when I was young, but I don't remember ever seeing this guy, thanks for sharing! I appreciate his advice and his mutiple examples over time. If only I could get a haddle on that aspect myself. He hit me with his subtle humour, buuut not those shoes and socks might need to be addressed.😝✌💚🌲GO BONSAi and STAY SAFE! 😷🙏
You guys should do a video on how to make chrysanthemum bonsai like the ones he has on the background!!! I can’t find any videos or info on TH-cam on how to grow chrysanthemum bonsai
My maples hate being wired and the wired branches just die off - I have much better results when I use weights and guy wires. Is this something particular to the cultivar or am I just unlucky ?
The unnecessary mask muffles the audio too bad cuz the trees are beautiful and the expertise is superb. Wearing a mask that doesn't cover the nostrils is like wearing your underwear around your knees and I would love to have been able to hear more clearly the audio part
@@jameswellsiii3698 you'll notice I said "the trees are beautiful and the expertise is superb." That is a respectful remark. And it's a true that many people wear their face mask underneath their nose. according to experts it's close to not wearing one at all. in this video that's only the case partially. One can call things as they are seen and still be respectful about it. I have only the highest regard for this man's long history and standing and expertise in the Bonsai community
@@howarddiskokid3889 Why are you worried about his nose when there is no one around him and he doesn't even need the mask at all? All he's doing is virtue signaling anyway. But besides that, people who wear glasses can't see if they cover their nose.

Bill Valavanis is a invaluable treasure to American Bonsai as well as Bonsai in general. Thank you for this Christmas present!
the bit about the sacrificial branch blew my mind...nobody ever put it so simply, love it!
I've never watched this gentleman before. I really enjoyed his teaching style. I would love to see more of his content. So much wisdom!
Bill is a great teacher isn't he?
This was my favorite from the series so far. Maples are by far the best trees in my opinion
Wonderful video! Inspirational, and enlightening. This teaches so much about long term development. This means much more (to me) than videos of demo's, which go into details, when I feel the overview is what eludes many starting artists.
Thank you so much!
Wish there was one like this of pines, which I don't seem to understand.
This was the best info packed in a 30 min clip i ever seen tnx
A very experienced and knowledgeable bonsai grower. Lots of tips that only come with experience. Great video.
This is a great video. I really enjoyed it. Hopefully there are more with Bill!
I really like your demonstrations. Japanese maples are my favourite bonsai. Thank you for uploading this interesting video.
Merry Christmas.
Brilliant information and a beautiful collection of maples you have there! . Thank you. Subbed
Really interesting, thoroughly enjoyed it this video. These are some beautiful maples.
Glad you enjoyed it
With those young trees, you're starting to style the trunk and some of the branches. How do you get taper in the trunk without doing a trunk chop?
Just incredible, the work and time that goes into this. Just wow.
William needs to start a youtube channel. He's a joy to watch.
Yes, we fully agree :)
I'm really enjoying these precious lectures on the channel. Thanks so much to spreading the culture !
Glad you like them!
Really great video and beautiful Maples!😊
"I got lucky, right? No, its almost 60 years experience." haha :P
Amazing video thank you. Any chance you can link me that blog from 2018 or 2019 with the info on seedlings and taproots? Also what balance of fertilizer to you use for growth on a maple
William, Beautiful trees and invaluable guidance for all beginner and experienced growers alike.
When you start making multiple cuts to create taper, the angles are kind of sharp. Overtime will they eventually smooth out?
Indeed, especially so if you use a concave cutter.
The un-developed tree explanation was helpful. There is a lot of info out there on how to work with ancient material but not a lot on how to get from seedling to quality mature stock

@Zayd Elijah It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
@Beckett Kashton you are welcome :D
These are amazing and beautiful. Sublime! Amazing his years of experience and patience. I hope it will be passed on.
Good day Bill and Oscar, beautiful trees as always.

Just found my Chistmmas present in April 2021. Thank you!
Hey Bill! Do you keep your trees outside for the whole year? Or do they get sheltered in winter?
Its Nice demo. But how will i know when, and who like to be trimmed. When half and full. Yes! Thank you I will look back again your video.
Muito bom, boa explicação, obrigado por passar todo esse conhecimento. Sou do Brasil.
Again , brilliant video and very informative .
If I prune a maple, will the trunk continue to thicken? Or should I grow it until I am happy with the size of the trunk?
How do you get lower branches? All mine I never get lower branches.
Guy G. may have mentioned him when I was young, but I don't remember ever seeing this guy, thanks for sharing! I appreciate his advice and his mutiple examples over time.

Can you tell me what species this is and how I can get one?
Nice! This video is real well made!
How long do the wires stay on the trunk at the early stage? do they have to come off, and be re-applied regularly as the tree grows?
How do you get lower branches?
That small and young bonsai, can the main stem grow as big as that 40years old bonsai?
What type of maple is at 18:00? Love that tree!
Thank you we are learning from you sir
wonderful,,,,MANTABBB...
kotohime is my favorite so far.
So many beautiful tress.
thanks for your sharing...
what an absolute chad I love this man

Thanks for sharing this. 👍
I live in afton ny how can I get in touch with you to get myself a bonsai?
See here: www.internationalbonsai.com/
Pretty incredible stories and material. Yes, this one here has been in a pot for 120 years. Excuse me sir?
What is his name? Thanks 👍
Great Video. Much appreciated.
My maples hate being wired and the wired branches just die off - I have much better results when I use weights and guy wires. Is this something particular to the cultivar or am I just unlucky ?
Amazing trees!
Great video 👍👍👍
More! Please!
Can anyone tell me the address thanks
Woww..wow..amazing😍😍😍
Nice explanation. Thank you Sir!
Nice thank you
Happy Holidays everyone at Bonsai Empire
The maple in minute 18 "Sagan japanese maple", does it has another name? Can't find this specie to buy.... Thanks
I think the issue is you spelled it wrong, it’s a “Seigen,” or in full, Acer Palmatum Seigen Aureum.
A very good video...... learned a lot, thanks 🇩🇰🇩🇰😎
Rất tốt, ngày cắt cành xong, sử dụng gì boi vết cắt thế, cảm ơn nhiều, rất hữu ích... tuyệt vời...
Bác nhiều cây đẹp quá 👍 một tình yêu tuyệt vời dành cho bonsai!
Great job...!

A true master
I would love to purchase some Japanese rough bark maples!!!
Fantastic 👌
How old Japanese maple can liv?
Hundreds of years
I live in rochester NY, where about in rochester, I love yo join your group!
Google William Valavanis, his garden is great to visit!
Bill"Some people call it a trunk chop, but that's street talk" Valvanis.
Maple,acer palmatum.its good👍👍👍
I’ve noticed that everybody takes the trees out of the pot while wiring etc. why is this?
during the early life of a wired bonsai, they are susceptible to bonsai eating foragers such as the dwarf manbearpig.
Thanks for not spreading the Wuhan Virus to the TH-cam viewers.
*This* maple has engulfed the hope diamond, you can't see it any more.
LOL.. ! I love the special tool comment.!!
Great
Why didnt anyone stop him and say his mask isn't on right really love the video though. Thanks to Bill and bonsai empire
@Clayton Bigsby word
Why does it matter if no one is around him? He shouldn't even have it on.
I am hanging on to every single word coming out of this man's mouth.
@7:46 your phone will ring twice. Morpheus will tell you. Don't cut your wife's tree @25:25!
You don’t need 60 years experience to do starters Bonsai. Heck any bonsai! There is not right or wrong way in Bonsai.
Rất tự nhiên
