- Join us to explore Dawn redwoods, a prehistoric species recently gaining popularity as a captivating bonsai subject. In this informative summer pruning stream, we'll delve into managing and enhancing the ramification of Dawn redwood trees. Additionally, we'll cover techniques for creating, refining, and compressing branch structures, ensuring your bonsai achieves a visually stunning appearance. Discover the secrets of this ancient species and unlock your potential as a bonsai enthusiast.
It would be excellent if your long form videos were chaptered, so it would be easier for us to come back and find topics covered.
The first living Metasequoia trees were discovered in 1944 by Chinese botanist Wang Zhan in Sichuan province, China.
I think a better approach for this species is to grow them from a young tree, keeping the roots and branches in control. This is a tree that grows absolutely vertical and the branches are all straight coming off the trunk at about a 45 degree angle. I think the current styling is totally alien to the species, more of a typical "bonsai" than a Dawn Redwood. In this case, I think larger is not always better. The more you stray from the natural form of the species, the more it becomes personal art, and art can be very subjective!
A very good video on the horticultural techniques!!
The "natural" method is lazy, Yes we want to see bonsai, the art form, thats entirely the point.
@@CornellD.Cavendish To get a tree to look natural in miniature is extremely hard. It's actually easier to create a bonsai looking tree. This bonsai style does little for me, but we all have different tastes in this hobby.
The fact this video is not stuck behind a pay wall really amazes me 😁
Thank you for making long detailed bonsai videos! It’s helped a lot with understanding the ins and outs of the art. 🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
The ramification explanation for Dawn reds was awesome.
Thank you so much Ryan after a few years of trying to figure out my dawn redwoods your hour session has helped me understand them so much more
Thankyou. That was was very enlightening. When you were discussing the genetics of the tree it felt like I was watching the History Channel. Your video has helped me to understand my Redwood. In future I will wear my 'plus one spectacles' to help me identify those little buds . Cheers to you old chap. A great video.
This is helping a lot in managing my redwood dawn trees! I did design them in formal upright style, but was struggling with the ramification. This video will pay off in 3 years, when the pads will have developed in stead of me cutting them off too soon :)
Excellent lesson Ryan, thanks for pointing out the most important factors when choosing our path on a tree. Just at the very end of the video, I came back to the start to compare the result, amazing. Greetings from Brasil.
Thank you very much Ryan for sharing this fantastic and very interesting video,i admire your great preparation and technique,very compliments!👍👍👍👍🔝
These videos are great for when I'm working, there's no danger of missing an important point as the same point will still be under discussion ten minutes later! 😂
In all seriousness, I've learned some useful info here though
Now my brain is sore, but I learnt so much.
Its amazing that the bonsai community brought this tree back. Probably not as amazing as Ryan getting his hands on the most incredible specimen of this species!
I planted a Dawn Redwood 20 years ago thinking it would be pyramidal shaped. Over the years it turned out to be a lollipop shape. Don't know if it's because of the soil conditions or location.
As always I enjoy learning new and tested techniques.
I get it!🎉. Had to go get one and cut a little branch off then watch this video
when I look at the main trunk of this tree I see a dog howling at the moon. great work ryan
I enjoy these videos and have learned so much
I did think that there was going to be a guest presenter named Dawn Redwood when I saw the title.
Excellent technique! Thank you so much Ryan.
My dawn redwood trees came from a neighbor who has 2 30 year old trees in her yard, yes I know that's still young, but they do seem to grow "up"
Excellent tutorial! I’m going outside now to examine my DRs.
Now I want to know about Austria pines. What makes them different?
So much knowledge
I trimmed a leaf of my Bald cypress. Now that leaf forms a few bud on the tip.
I am seeing n looking pruning process Bonsai Tree.
I am appretiate your activity.
Greeting one Hobby Bonsai From Indonesia.
great demo and enjoy your journey with this...
Thank you!!
Excellent technique!
Beautiful tree. Every time I see it, the base anyways it looks just like a dog sitting. Gotta name this one "The Hound" or..... Zuòzhe de gǒu (坐著的狗), which means "Sitting Dog" in Chinese.
Thank you very much for this usefull video !
Love the fact
I love the tutorials and awesome lessons , but i wish you could talk in reference to seasons over months as i along with alot of others are in the southern hemisphere, and have to try to not remember months but convert it on the spot and remember. Cheers
Bellissimo😊😊😊
Great video. I have a Eucalyptus that looks just like that. Thanks
❤❤❤
Greetings…I was just at the botanical garden park in Toledo, OH and they had several Dawn Redwoods that are 30’ tall. I took several photos if you would like to see what one looks grown in the ground.
Thanks for all the information ; greetings from thé Netherlands ✌🏼
I had a mental breakdown last summer and cut the top of my dawn redwood. Down to the stump of 8 inches. Looks like it's gonna have a cedrus candelabra growth.
Love it .. thanks
Would you consider using the clip and grow method for this piece without wiring? Why or why not?
You said that the piece was field grown…where? What’s the origin?
It’s called northlight
Fantástico
😗😗wow bonsai keren
Very nice video, thanks a lot, but visual aspect of tree not my taste.
Are you that dude from the Trees documentary that trained in Japan and that psycho hose beast smashed your plants?
What was the name of that podcast? Talperian Farms?
Great information as always, but it sounds more complicated than it is due to verbose delivery.
Whilst I do agree, they certainly seem to have a lot of people learning from them, so it must be useful to some people in a way that a more concise explanation is not. Each to their own, I know what to expect when I see Ryan Neil in a video, there are plenty of other experts I can watch when I want a shorter expiation.
34:38 hahaha EH EH EH EH EH A AA A A A great vid man i needed this information real bad my man
When is this from?
Do you HAVE to be so verbose?
That may be impressive to the unintelligent, but it is really off-putting to those with more than a single digit IQ..
