I always look forward to your videos Darren. I love how you anchored that with the steel bar! Never seen that before! Looking forward to seeing how this tree develops!
Thanks - I haven’t found much info on hemlocks. I bought several from a nursery going out of business, and trying to learn from my own observations and experiments. This video confirmed some of my findings and answered many other questions I was still working on.
looks great so far. i like the clip to clip video so we see what work you have done for each part. like a time lapse almost.. that copper wire is no joke
Thanks Rafi! Me too tbh, just wish I could work faster, it was ready for a full styling really. Do you think I could have gotten away with wiring out the secondaries and pruning accordingly - and still repotted in 2024? (I had to give up my Mirai sub due to money issues so can't ask RN)
I think you did the right thing my friend. I have a hemlock that I styled after repotting and it had a serious reduction of foliage and it took a while to recover, now it is filling up quite robustly, once they start growing they do it fast so I think it is best if you keep most foliage to help recover from the repot and then style next summer if the recovery from the repot goes smoothly. It will ultimately be faster.
@grobonsai nice to hear you know my blog. I'm honored. I like your editing and voice-over style. I have to go through some of your older videos. Greetings
Beautiful styling. It looks like the middle of this tree is still way too dense and will most likely shade out any remaining low branches. Why don't you think the foliage more to allow light to penetrate?
Just watched me some 3 advertisements to see this haha I’ve been wanting to see an update on that tree! It looks nice, wondering what it will be like completely styled. Nice video, the way you talked in your commentary was kind of reminiscent of David Attenborough 😄
Great video Darren. As always. ❤
Serene, superbly edited, great end result.
Thanks J
BABE WAKE UP! Gro Bonsai just posted.
It’s the first time I got this comment 🥲👑
happy to be part of history@@grobonsai

Thanks Adam, means a lot from you. Yeah I’m still learning rebar techniques. Mirai Live is probably best if you want to know more

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

Thanks for the feedback! My wrists are so weak it’s a struggle at times haha
Great video with lots of good tips. I'm looking at getting a Mountain Hemlock soon!
This one is amazing, so huge . Beautiful !! Great .
Looking forward to see the future of this tree Darren!

Thanks mate!
Nice video mate. The tree is a monster size, I wouldn't want to carry it to work table alone myself.
Thanks mate, pretty sure I read your blog over the years. Haha getting through the door is a challenge
@grobonsai nice to hear you know my blog. I'm honored. I like your editing and voice-over style. I have to go through some of your older videos. Greetings
Great vid as always mate
Thanks mate!
Thanks keep them coming
Thanks Danny!
Thanks Darren, that is some tree. I've got a small Hemlock, got a while to go before its presentable though.
it's an absolute joy to work with (apart from moving it!) hope you have fun with yours Al
wow, what a beautyful tree
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice video and a nice material! Don't have yet a hemlock in my collection but I would love to add one soon
Thanks! Honestly I don’t know much about them, but it has been a pleasure so far
Fantastic Video!
Thank you very much!
Great video mate cheers!
Thanks bro!
Love it. I have a much smaller hemlock that looks like that (white new growth) called: Tsuga, Canadian Hemlock 'Gentsch White'
Cool! I’ve not seen many round here. No idea what species variety this is beyond hemlock! I bet the white contrast really beautifully
That’s is a real big boy! But it’s looking good. It’s certainly healthy with all that growth it’s out on 👍👍👍
Thanks mate!
Nice style of bonsai and making interesting video 🙏👍🏼
Thanks for visiting
Amazing stuff mate as usual
Thanks mate!
Nice
Thanks!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but just going off of this video, would I be right in saying that you're a fellow Mirai Live student?
I was a subscriber for several years but not for the last 12 months due to time constraints
Get in
Cheers mate!
Beautiful styling. It looks like the middle of this tree is still way too dense and will most likely shade out any remaining low branches. Why don't you think the foliage more to allow light to penetrate?
I agree, it was just a case of running out of time before leaving the country
Fantastic work. What time of year would you collect hemlock in the UK?
I haven’t been lucky to collect any conifers myself, so I can’t advise sorry
👍👌
