Glad you waited to show that on the channel! I understand your coming to visit South Yorkshire Bonsai Association next month, I look forward to seeing you there.
Thanks Corin you have so much knowledge its great to get such experienced tips. That tree of yours is stunning , a beautiful specimen. I have quite a few garden Jms in pots which i hav had for years , 1 of them is a katsura , nice yo see you work on one , this yr was the 1st yr i felt brave enough to try and air layer from my maples .
Lovely maple Corin and a Katsura is currently top of my wish list for the spring colour You’ve inspired me to sort my Beni Chidori out I’ve allowed to grow wild
Maybe add a link to your store at the end to promote tools used in the video as an idea, eg scissors, concave cutter and pots. Great vid as always mate, I always promote Greenwood, keep em coming.
@@greenwoodbonsaistudio I expect my purchase of those scissors by the end of this week, coming from England to the US I figure takes about 2 weeks, can not wait!
I have been leaving the pruning to just 2 or 3 times a year and the trees seem to benefit from this. I do trim Chinese Elms a little more frequently due to their strong growth. Your Katsura is looking great.
Thanks Corin for this Video wish it was longer. What your take of Buying Japanese Maple Tree now with September,October left? Also put in a large Bonsai Pot height 28” 1 1/2 thick! Or should put in a Nursery Pot so it will not Stress out from shipping? Thanks Greg of USA,Ohio
@@greenwoodbonsaistudio Corin. You sound like Peter at Heron Bonsai? Hehehehehe. Thanks so I may buy it but what is your take on A tall trunk ? Can it be bent to take away the straight trunk? Corin are you very busy? Like you your pinion on this Tree? Only if you have time. How the China Virus In your Area? Thanks Greg
hi thank you for the great video , I have a few maples and this year hey are showing their autumn colours in June. Do you have any advice for me I'm worried I'm losing them . kind regards Sean
As someone with a relatively small number of developed trees, I would never be able to resist pruning for that long while watching long extensions grow. I'd prune back a lot sooner. Am I doing it wrong or would this tree have ideally been pruned earlier?
Peter, This was its second pruning this year. Yes, you can do it more frequently but letting it grow free like this isn't a problem. It is only 12 weeks growth.
I used to be exactly the same. I only touch my maples now 2-3 times max a year. Katsura, I've found, is quite a vigorous cultivar and can easily pile on extension growth a few feet in length in a season. With your field Maple, @Peter Bone, you can easily throw in a defoliation too most years if it's growing well to slow it down, reduce internode size and remove energy at the tips.
Well, there is a danger of over pruning, too much care and attention on one tree…and as I’m sure you know that pictures of beautiful trees have just had a haircut before the photo was taken….that’s why I prefer pines…..I started my hobby when I was 28…I’m now 70, and have never lost my fascination with bonsai..anyway good luck with your trees
Hi guys, I'm thinking about what you said regarding this tree last year slow/weak grow and I'm trying to find out why. Working only with maples in development as I don't have any in refinement stage I found out this. The tree putting out energy to send new shoots and if you cut them before they give that energy back, the tree is getting weaker and next year is not going to have that much vigour. Do you think this was the case with this tree last year?
As I mention in the video, its got frosted last year and therefore it didn't send out any extension growth at all. But it is certainly back on track this year !
Many thanks Corin your videos are inspirational as well as educational. They are getting better and better.
Glad you like them!
The best videos for education of bonsai love the work and style of this man’s approach 👍👍

There is a link in the description, just as you mention. Thanks

Can you get a specific type of fertiliser that works better on certain species of tree.?
I'm sure the results are amazing when it's trimmed
How late in the year do you trim Maples?
Could we have an update on your air layers please? I have just got some of the pods you used and was wondering how they went.
Coming up - but you'll have to wait till this Saturday

it can only be longer if I'm slower lol Yes, you can buy a tree now, but id re-pot it in Spring. If its shipped well, it shouldn't get stressed.

I got a question what can i do with a wrong cut for a leader

Hi Corin, do you ever pinch your maples?
Corin; Do you ever try to root any of the cuttings?
No. The best success is under a misting system for propagation
