    Hi, Peter. Please don't think you're boring us, or that the videos don't have value with less views. In the videos where you zip around a tree and produce a bonsai in 20 minutes, you are providing entertainment. In a video like this, where you are talking through the 'mundane' and your decisions, you are providing an education. So, please, keep sharing some of these processes where possible!

    You are the only you tuber who I trust for the best advice. I have a larch 12 feet tall that was thrown away from a new landscaping at a new subdivision. I brought it home and it is surviving. However, it won't survive the heat in Florida. Can I cut it back and make a large trunk bonsai?. I was thinking making a snag at the top by cutting and tearing the top. It's already root pruned because that's how they plant them without care for the tree. I also saved a 10 foot birch triple trunk and beautiful triple trunk crepe myrtle!

    Hello Peter. You are very dear to us. Getting thru this pandemic has been helped greatly with all your videos. Thanks for these gifts. On the trident video tree that you fused to the trunk to correct the root over rock nebari made me wonder if you have ever experimented by increasing the planting depth of a tree rather than starting over with an airlayer to correct inverse taper.

    • @TomTomTomTom538
      @TomTomTomTom538 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have squamata too but find them more difficult to work on because of their less compact growth habit and the way they hang on to their old dead needles makes them look a bit scruffy. Also I find blue Alps much more vigorous which is great during development but becomes a little troublesome when in refinement as I have to trim mine twice a year and am always worried I will weaken the tree but so far there is no sign of it. I pretty much treat them like tosho but try to leave about half the growing tips each trim. Thanks for the reply 👍

    • @LounoirRecords
      @LounoirRecords 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      inverse taper means when a part of the trunk is thicker than the base or a part below it , which is quite undesirable. normally you would get a decline in thickness the higher up the tree you go. this could also appear on parts of the tree where more than 2 branches come out from the same spot, you would get a swelling on that part, which is not wanted as well. hope that helps :)
