I really appreciate when you answer the question 'why' ....we prune after the longest day BECAUSE we get shorter internodes. Thank you. Please continue this great content.
Thanks Jelle. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I also learn something new. Thank you so much for sharing this information and expending my knowledge of bonsai! ✌️
I definitely agree with you about Lindens - I did mine 3 weeks ago now. Good discussion on a range of deciduous material. My cut off is generally after that 1st week in August. Especially with the alteration in the onset of winter frosts over here. BUT, it is definitely not a guarantee :)
Excellent video Jelle and completely agree with your advice. Reinforces my learnings over the years and like most learnings, they have been the hard way! Tx again, Deep
I’d love to see more videos on your Azaleas. That large one is really impressive. Definitely one of my favorites to learn about and grow. Great video thx. Edit:::: man that Hornbeam is crazy too! Awesome trunk
An excellent piece on Pruning,Jelle. You mention fungus problems with your hornbeam but you don't say how you dealt with it. I have a large hornbeam of some 50/60 years of age which has grown healthily for me for over 30 years butwhich suddenly showed signs of fungus (verticillium wilt perhaps) I have used common anti fungicide and this week Sulphate of Ammonia. It is too early to say if it will survive. I would value your comments and perhaps you have the basis of a piece on fungus?
Thanks for the lessons!! May I ask your approximate latitude? I’m assuming around 52N? I’m near 32N and am adapting your lessons from other videos to work in my climate. Our first frost is later in November.
Would it be possible to work on a tall chinese juniper now. It has a very thick trunk, but it is about 4 feet tall, and I would like to cut quite a bit of the trunk off. Do I still have time? I live in the US, in Minnesota.
I am not sure what happens in minnesota in fall and winter. Elm in General are very strong and regrow fast. But... I would personally wait with big cuts untill late winter or mid-spring.
@@maryweber4176 sorry. Not sure HOW I misread that. Junipers keep growing whenever the weather is warm enough. So from that perspective, you could. However, should you? If you do big cuts now, as we are nearing winter means that you have less foliage & reserves heading into winter. I normally try to avoid that, and try to do this work after the peak of winter headed into spring. Buut.. You certainly can. (In a few weeks I will be doing a demo which will include removing bulk from the tree)
@@GrowingBonsai Thank You for getting back to me. I did make a chop to the trunk, but cut no other branches off. I trimmed a little bit off the branch tips. I have a glass enclosed porch where it will spend the winter. Fingers crossed. Your tutorials are very helpful. (I did the work before you had answered, I know, I need to learn patience)

Thank you.
Please continue this great content.
Thank you for this great pruning tutorial. I love learning why we do things at certain times, not just how to do them!
Thanks Jelle. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I also learn something new. Thank you so much for sharing this information and expending my knowledge of bonsai! ✌️
Very informative. Like the level of detail and explanations of why you do or don’t do something at a particular time 👍🏼

Always very informative - and helpful to know not only what to do and when, but understanding why 👍
Excellent video Jelle and completely agree with your advice. Reinforces my learnings over the years and like most learnings, they have been the hard way! Tx again,

Another excellent and informative video Jelle. Many thanks for making these. I always end up learning something new 👍

@@NoQuarter01 do a quick search on my channel, there are several videos on the azaleas!
In the UK it’s been a Really poor growing season !
My tree only started growing in July 🙈
Great seasonal pruning information on numerous species. I continue to learn things from your videos. Thank you.
Great video Jelle, thank you 😊
Great tips, Jelle! Thank you!👍
You're so welcome!

Very informative. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!

Something like this maybe? th-cam.com/video/lFNfJPxUox4/w-d-xo.html

Great information. Thaanks.

When do you stop fertilising the trees Jelle?
Thanks for the lessons!!

Spot on! Amsterdam latitude (Or if in the americas, same latitute as the border between quebec and newfoundland!

hahaha, I think it was a grasshopper you saw.

@@GrowingBonsai It's not an elm, it's a chinese juniper.

"This was Jelle, with a short tip"
Just about twelve minutes? Sure, "short." 😂
well, 12 minutes to save you a year!?
