  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2024
  • Graham Potter of www.kaizenbonsai.com/ demonstrates advanced pruning, styling and maintenance of a beautiful old mature juniper created in Scotland 30 to 40 years ago. Learn how to keep juniper foliage compact, develop ramification and balance vigour. Invaluable insight into the long term development and maintenance of these popular bonsai evergreens.
    There are hundreds of cultivars of bonsai but here Graham is looking at soft foliage types.
    Styling junipers without wire is a long process but it produces a very beautiful natural appearance rarely seen. Only 7 pieces of wire were used in this transformation.

    Thank you Graham for this clear and concise explanation of juniper pruning. It provides invaluable information in such an easy format to follow. I assume the correct technique for 'needle type' juniper is slightly different. Is there any chance you could also explain about it?

  • @Gabaloc
    @Gabaloc หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    great to see you again!:) been watching for ages now!:) One question if i may: how long can you work on a tree? i tend to work on mines once a year in early spring and try to do the pruning and repotting in one day to minimise the stress for the tree. However it's sometimes stressful to do all the work in one day so i was wondering if i can split it up in multiple days and if there's a better order like first prune for two days then repot or the other way around:) Thank you for a possible answer and keep up the great work!:) always happy to see new work form you:)

    • @GrahamWPotter
      @GrahamWPotter  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Trees don't feel stress like we do. Typically the stress happens after we got involved. Go little by little with a light touch always and choose your timing to maximise the result for the good of the tree. Always depends upon what you are working too.

    • @Gabaloc
      @Gabaloc หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@GrahamWPotter Thank you very much for the answer:) So i can prune lightly for like one week or so? and then the next week repot it if needed?:)

    One thing I'm a little confused by is whether we should allow the back budding, which is essentially crotch growth to develop in certain situations so we can cut back to them? Everywhere tells you to clean out crotch growth

  • @yaroslavpronin5111

      @GrahamWPotter  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The same but it looks different in your hands.

  • @jefftilt
    @jefftilt หลายเดือนก่อน

    The implication of pruning the growth the way you have is it will likely produce stronger back bidding. Will you ever reduce the length of the long leggy branches to where the back bidding occurs or will you always clean out the back buds?

    • @GrahamWPotter
      @GrahamWPotter  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I thought i was plain we never cut out back buds. They are always used to replace the little branches that are getting too long.
