    What a fantastic tree. I have a few that are in the early stages and have been following this tree's process closely. Thank you so much.

    Great Olive tree Jelle, detail pruning them can be daunting for the beginners to get right. I really enjoyed your visit with Xavier, you guys get on so well. It was good to welcome Xavier to my humble bonsai garden.and to get to know him a little, he is a great guy with a lovely family as I am sure you got to be with whilst here. Thanks Jelle for the work you do for bonsai. Joe

    • @GrowingBonsai

      Sounds great! Just keep in mind that typically you will need some permission from the land owners

      Of course! Another advantage of weed species being a target for collection is that permissions are often easy.

    I love your movies - one Q: I've noticed that during wiring you do not bent the endings of the branches upwards. Some say it stimulates the growth hormons flow and speed up developement of the branches - what is your opinion about this?

    • @GrowingBonsai
      @GrowingBonsai  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In most cases I aim to get inner growth, rather than terminal growth. Lowing the branch endings helps there. In the end, the branch ends will come up by themselves as they grow. I did do a video (not released yet) where I actually tried tipping the branch ends up. I did not see a significant effect. I wonder whether at bonsai scales it makes a difference.

    Hi Jelle. I am from the mediterranean where we have a lot of non-deciduous trees: olives, cork oaks, holm oaks, strawberry trees, holly, carob, etc. But these trees are also not tropicals. So I guess my question (or maybe an idea for a future video :)) is wether the repotting times, pruning times, defolliating times, restylling times and all the other "rules" are those of tropicals trees or of deciduous trees

I am getting one and any videos considering the species would be helpful since there isn't that much in YT. Thank you for you great and inspiring content.

    I thought it was the best time to prune and wire the end of summer. Is it still ok in autumn? When do you know?

    • @GrowingBonsai
      @GrowingBonsai  หลายเดือนก่อน

      You could wire in autumn, just freezing upi quickly after wiring can cause trouble. I prefer to wire earlier, so the branches are not fully woody yet.

  • @ishamakkusu
    @ishamakkusu หลายเดือนก่อน

    Interesting - i've been told the opposite when it comes to re-wiring wire-scarred branches. When the cambium has been crushed by wire, it creates an impasse for xylem/phloem circulation, so if you re-wire in the opposite rotation you will create points where the new wire creates an X over the old scar, at which point you may obstruct the circulation completely, killing the branch. I'm no expert, just what John Trott taught me (multiple Chelsea award winning bonsai artist in the UK)

    • @GrowingBonsai
      @GrowingBonsai  หลายเดือนก่อน

      It all depends to what extend damage has been done. Once you have left it on so long that the cambium has died off this might be an issue. But. then.. what have you been doing.

    Hello Jelle, that's looks pretty good specimen to develop. I've 3 young olive tree (olea europea) planted on the pot. I leave in 3-4 zone climate. How can I make the trunk grow. Got the for 3yrs, the trunk still size of a pinky. Can I plant it on the ground for mid spring to early fall dugup?

    • @GrowingBonsai
      @GrowingBonsai  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I am not convinced planting for the year would make a massive difference. A well-sized container and plenty of sun and fertilizer. But.. Olives are slow to fatten up outside of their native range..

    • @virolfestrellado9425
      @virolfestrellado9425 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @GrowingBonsai I'll try to put them in a Larger pots and feed with fertilizers regularly, and I guess just to be patience. I wonder how can I import those bigger trunk ones. Thanks Mr. Jelle I really love your videos and I found you got talent not only with bonsai but also being funny 😄 in your editing skills.

    This Olive looks like a wild one? I have one with the big leaves. Imported from Spain about 20 years ago. Is repotting now possible?

    • @GrowingBonsai
      @GrowingBonsai  หลายเดือนก่อน

      It abslutely is wild. I would not repot olive now unless there was no choice. Best is just as it wakes up in spring, a little behind regular deciduous.
