I love this. If I could afford to take classes right now, I definitely would. Just from what I learned on here from you, I am successfully growing a blue juniper bonsai indoors no less!!! So I definitely love your videos!!
I rarely make comments but I have to agree with everyone. I've watched hundreds of videos and own lots of books and magazines on Bonsai. This is the best explanation and demonstration I have ever seen.
Absolutely incredible. One suggestion for the end: an example of a "finished" pad so that we can see what a good-looking pad would look like. Thanks you so much for the great effort!
What an incredibly helpful and clear lesson for a new bonsai practitioner. Thank you! Hope there’s more content like this on your channel for me to binge.
I’m so glad you thought to do this with a trimmed branch in this way! Very clever and so helpful for those of us just starting out to see everything so clearly. Thank you!
I finally feel confident enough to start my first Bonsai. Thank you so much for your excellent content. By far the most comprehensive and concise tutorial I've seen so far
Awesome man Love the cut off branch ideal And the close close up shots And explanation exactly what to do Nobody is any close to how much You explain every step Thanks so much
Josh, this is an excellent and very detailed presentation. Easy to follow explanation and easy to see what you are doing. Will share this link with our club. Thank you so much for posting.
Now this is exactly what I needed. Shown in detail, explained, on how to try to develop pads on Junipers. Nicely done man. My junipers are my "trouble trees". I have just never gotten the routines for developing them properly. The result is, my Junipers are examples of my years of mistakes and lack of knowledge. Too late this season for any trying to start new on mine, so this will help me next season..I hope....
Aussie Dave here Josh, wow 🤗. This format was terrific. The best video on wirering and making pad's I've ever seen 👍. I'll be watching for more of the same. Very Well Done. 10 out of 10. 🙂
Thank you for great videos on Bonsai. Your explanation and demonstration are key elements to viewer's comprehension. Your development information is excellent, giving not only the method and how to but also explaining to thinking process of the design. Much appreciated.
Amazing video! Very descriptive, the close up really helps a newbies like myself see exactly how to do the job properly, much better than wiring the tree from the top or front view. I have, like loads of others started my bonsai journey during lockdown and this has and will help my mental health so much. Love your videos, keep up the good work!
This was such an incredibly helpful video to watch and learn how to prune and wire a juniper. Thank you for the detailed and close up view of your example!
Love this format for detailed work and also that you took the time to show the progression. Often we get told what to do but not the longterm affect of why we are doing it and therefore it could take months if not a years to understand the why. Showing us the desired outcome really brought the understanding home for me. Really appreciate it!
This was an excellent explanation of a real how-to instructional video. I have been wanting a clear explanation of how to create and cultivate pads on a juniper, and this fits the bill nicely. Thanks!
Wow… you are the best.🙌no one has explained as beautifully as you and I have watched pretty much all bonsai utubers… appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
I've got two Mondo 8 year Junipers with carving I did myself on them and Jin work with really poor structure, I needed this video more than words can say to elevate my trees into a better place with design and future styling. I can't express true gratitude enough mate, I'm on the other side of the state from the best clubs in Melbourne and with a son it's hard to organize a time with meet ups. This one video is a rare gem indeed, stuff in books is great but this birds eye view stuff is in my opinion excellent way to display material. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this presentation, I'm going to purchase some merch from your store as a way of supporting what I feel is one of Australia's best sites. Great work Josh bro!!! keep absolutely smashing it, I can't wait to see if you've got videos on JBP's. I have several promising ones in my side yard I'll be working closely with in 2024.
I am 81 yr old. Too late to start THIS hobby. That said, I paid 40$ for a juniper and ended up chopping over 1/2 of the green growth off and ended up with a mutilated tree. Whatever. We will see what it looks like in a year, assuming I am still here😋
Sounds like you did the right thing then old timer. :) That's what you got to do to make it look good in the future. And you can learn and enjoy a hobby and make a sweet bonsai for your grandkids to cherish and refine more than hand on to their grandkids in those three decades+ you got ahead of you. 🙂 Main thing is if you enjoy doing it I guess. Idk but they say that even just having a hobby and learning it and enjoying it and looking forward to it progress etc in your latter years can both increase your lifespan and just sort gives something to keep you going i guess... and also help keep your mind and body healthy and stave off things like dementia. (I mean not every hobby i assume... probably not my other hobby mma cage fighting and stuff like that haha but bonsai might be ideal. ) Best of luck anyway my friend and God bless.
In Japan bonsai masters will work many years on trees they know they will never see the final form of, instead they work to make it better for the next generation of bonsai enthusiasts, you could do that and leave the trees to someone
Your educating technique is excellent. You don't only show how to trim and wire but show what the outcome will be and how to plan your future tree. I love how you educate. I started this bonsai journey 6 months ago and I am a sponge!
Brings a whole new meaning to sacrificial branch. 😂😂 Thanks for doing all of this to a dying branch just to teach us what to do. I appreciate your time & energy for this. Thank you!
Awesome tutorial mate , thank you for this , it makes bonsai much more happier experience when you know what to do and where to go , great job explaining, loved it , thanks again. 👍

This is the best presentation ever to explain pruning, wiring & ramification. A close-up view to the subject itself, leave no leaf unturned.
It's good but have you seen "Bonsai Detail Wiring" from Bonsai Mirai?
With the white background it's a great way to show how to cut, making it so clear. Please make more videos like this.....Thank You.
I rarely make comments but I have to agree with everyone. I've watched hundreds of videos and own lots of books and magazines on Bonsai. This is the best explanation and demonstration I have ever seen.
This is the best video I have seen on the process of pad development. Thank you 🙏
Nice Josh!
Thanks mate, hope all is well across the otherwise of the world.
Absolutely incredible. One suggestion for the end: an example of a "finished" pad so that we can see what a good-looking pad would look like. Thanks you so much for the great effort!
I have watched many bonsai videos, but this is the best one I’ve seen about making pads. Thank you!❤
What an incredibly helpful and clear lesson for a new bonsai practitioner. Thank you! Hope there’s more content like this on your channel for me to binge.
One of the best videos for explaining how to actually achieve branching and pads. Super job Josh. Love your work.
I’m so glad you thought to do this with a trimmed branch in this way! Very clever and so helpful for those of us just starting out to see everything so clearly. Thank you!
I finally feel confident enough to start my first Bonsai. Thank you so much for your excellent content.

Probably the best video and explanation of bonsai technique that I have ever seen. Great job my friend. Thank you so much
This was very helpful . I suppose this would apply to most bonsai work
Not particularly. Some other species are handles differently. This is especially true with deciduous trees.
Very informative. Thank you for your effort
thanks!!
this is the best guide to branching i have saw so far
This was such an incredibly helpful video to watch and learn how to prune and wire a juniper. Thank you for the detailed and close up view of your example!

Great work Josh bro!!! keep absolutely smashing it, I can't wait to see if you've got videos on JBP's.
I have several promising ones in my side yard I'll be working closely with in 2024.
Thanks for the kind words! its always good to hear that the lessons have helped people in some small way.
WOW! This is the best video!!!
Love this format Josh. The close up view of the plants mskes such a difference to understanding the concepts you discuss.
Absolutely wonderful, I kept wiping my screen thinking it was dirty 😂
Lol love the videos! They are called “pov” videos as is “point of view”
Yes, it’s quite a good format for instruction. I like it.
Amazing idea to demonstrate on a cut off branch. It makes visually understanding so much easier!
Love this format Josh. Found the information you shared really easy to digest. Great job.
Thanks - excellent Love to see more like this
Take your time don’t rush. You are teaching us, we are like sponges. We want to hear you talk. Thank you…

"Society flourishes when old men plant trees whos shade they will not sit under"... or whos foliage they will not admire.

Suspicious that an 81 year old would have bro in his name and use emojis. 🧐
How is it looking?
A very detailed video. Thank you!
