- I'm pruning my 12 dollar Tamarix Juniper bonsai (Juniperus sabina var. tamariscifolia) into a wind blown mountain style using clip and grow only.
Today's updates are my Red Maple penjing, my Black Willow and my "Tropical Expressions workshop" Brazilian Rain Tree.
Check out the Jonas Dupuich Sierra Juniper photos here.....

Im sure theres little in the world of bonsai that I can teach you. But maybe for those in the comments... Ive learned that with Junipers there strength is in the foliage. Some trees like Ficus are strong in there roots. Additionally my I suggest when you are cultivating your Willows that you remove them from water in the winter. In a Horticulture class in college I remember learning about bald cypress particularly that while they can grow in standind water in swamps down south they need to dry out in winter in the North because as the water within the roots freeze it ruptures the cell walls. If enough of the roots are damaged the tree dies. I would like to suggest that when you see Willow in the North they might grow up to the waters edge but most of the roots are in dry soil. Food for thought...
Hi again, I was think about how I said let it dry out. But what I really meant was take it out of the water tray and treat it like your other hardy trees. Im certain letting it dry out too much would be just as bad.
Is it possible to grow Bonsai in the ground? In Alberta,
@@willkeith4944 By definition Bonsai means tree in a pot. However I have seen video of people completely developing the trees in the ground before ever putting them in a pot and they are gorgeous. It should be noted that the speed at which they develope in the ground is many times faster than in a pot and as a consequence can quickly out grow looking like a bonsai if not maintained properly. I believe the video originated in Ireland.
Thank you , appreciate it. I was hoping/wondering if , was possible to sculp/trim a Junpier growing in rock garden. If it worked , would be an incredible piece
@@willkeith4944 Yes it is entirely do-able! The Japanese also do this. I believe there's a book called Niwaki (or something like that) that is all about sculpting garden trees. All the best....DK
My favorite Nigelisms: "Pruning for the Future" "Big Cut" and "Gotta show some Trunk" If you ever get merch, please use these! HAHA!
I like how the juniper looks and it definitely has the idea you're after. I can almost see it on a cliff by the sea or a big lake 😊
💚💚💚
That Juniper has really came along just in this season ♥️
Fantastic master class on juniper clip and grow! Deciduous gets a lot of and grow coverage, but you’re the only one doing conifers I think! 🐦💙
BRT coming around. Big one , nice canopy
Wonderful pruning. Looks good vigorous and strong against the wind. It’s current front suggests a wind that blows and swirls around, lifting the branches some. Looks good!!!
sweet its pruning season
Summer has been good to the trees, as long as you do lots of watering!
This is a very interesting tutorial on doing the G&C method. Very methodical work done by a Master.
Do you have a Clip and Grow channel for Juniors, cos I'm still a total noob lol I still need to check out your channel, so many to watch nowadays!

The half wind swept juniper looks good from both fronts, I wonder which will win the front in the future!
Very interesting approach 👍👍🇵🇷
You probably know this, but, if you save your willow clippings and add steep then in water over night, you can use that “tea” to water cuttings and pruned things where you want to encourage root growth. Willow water is nature’s rooting hormone.
There's so much complex information online about Juniper bonsai, it's interesting to see you grow one using just clip and grow and not use other techniques such as wiring or carving to make it into a conventional bonsai.
Great penjing red maple forest with the fisherman. Very nice Willow.
Thank you Nigel. Although I do have a number of Junipers I always seem to struggle getting motivated to do much with them. I think it is the amount of wiring that puts me off. So, after yet another well presented tutorial on clip and grow I have decided to change my approach and follow your lead. I may use a weenie - teenie bit of wire for some primary branches, but that will be it. I hope... 😉
that is one of the reasons why I do not wire any more. Wiring is taking much time and I have slightly more trees than time from them to take care 😉
@@ferasi6944 i know where you are coming from👌
Love that sound of the rain.the tree looks Very nice.
I love how this tree is developing, it realy looks good 360⁰ absolutely enjoy the the more subtle 'Fukinagashi' than the hard shaped windsept. Totaly love your style with this Juniper!
what a cracking tree. That's going to go on to be a fabulous bonsai I reckon!
My wife and I love your posts, so much. I. Like the windswept juniper also , or in this case, wind influenced. Just thinking if you lay the pot on its side ,pointing upwards, the new growth will grow that way. You just have to set it down to water it.
I do it in this way and I am happy with the results so far
Heya Nige, great vid as always mate!
I am one with your opinion on the windswept style of trees. I also feel that fully windswept trees to the extreme can be a tad tacky but I do love a windswept when it looks more like the tree was encouraged by the wind rather than forced. If you remember that powerful tree I send you a picture of a month or two back by Southsea Castle here in Portsmouth, it was very strong, very mighty, most of it growing in the direction of the coastal winds but still maintaining a lot of upright structure as well. I look forward to your tamarind juniper reaching that stage if its development :)

I love the look of this tree, well done
I really like that juniper and your reasoning behind your goal on styling it.
Crazy how THICC that juniper trunk is! And interesting to hear about your willow experiences. I’ve got a weeping that rooted in my gutter. Its in a nursery pot at the moment…
In the gutter eh? What an unusual and exciting find!
@@ashleybonner5423 pretty crazy, figured a bird was using a branch to make a nest or something
I love the foliage color on those Tamarix junipers. Keep up the good work Nigel!
Nice the 12$ juniper is back
Great work, Nigel
Looks awesome already!
I love the shape of that tree! I was hoping to try willow, but I really need to condense my pomegranate collection first. LOL
Foist!!
Noice!!
Brazilian Rain Forest trees are a bit like my children - but they seem to sulk a lot more often!
For me there are two fukinagashi styles or cases: first, where the tree grows in harsh windy conditions - it is the style described in this video. The second case is when normally grown tree is hit by an exceptionally strong storm, In this case the styling must be exaggerated by use of horizontal and strongly bend branches.
The tree looks like him as a tree
Nigel, have you considered giving your blue scissors to Blue Jay Bonsai? He's mentioned them a couple of times ;-)
👍👌
So, the wind had been nice to this tree mostly 😀
👍👌🙂
Will the sulking Brazilian rain tree lose all or most of those branches?
all, they are dead.
How do you turn a store tree in to bonsai?
You trim it...
