    Peter, this is hands down one of your most inspirational videos thus far. I'm relatively new on my bonsai journey and my 2 year old son likes to play and babble about plants while I work to maintain my garden. Hearing you talk about hoping someone will finish the project when you are gone had me choked me up. God willing, someday these trees I start in my son's youth will pass to him for completion. (Although they're never truly complete) God bless you Peter, I hope you're around for plenty more trunk chops!

    That massive Trident has given me, maybe, an idea of what I might try to do to one of my tridents, that has had me perplexed for a few years now. It has 3 trunks, and I havent been able to think of how to do a seriously radical pruning and restyling with it, but after looking closely at that massive trident you have, I think I may cut two of the trunks drastically short, and start trying to regrow new branches from the short trunks. ( This appears to be what was done to the massive tree at some point, the side trunk looks to have been cut at one point, letting new branches grow out to create taper and shape ) This would give me a tall trunk in the middle, and shorter trunks on the sides, and regrowing branches from the cut trunks, would give me a more defined shape. Something I need to look at. Thanks for the showing of this tree....

    I was surprised by your comment as well Peter, about difficulty growing tridents from cuttings. I have actually got, a the moment, TOO many trident cuttings. I tend to be greedy when pruning and plant MANY of the cuttings from my tridents, and have WAY too many now in small planting pots. I don't seem to have much of a problem. If I had to give a number, I would say I am successful with about 75 - 80% of the cuttings I plant. I am very congested on my bonsai bench at this time.

    I got a huge acient olive that has about a 10 inch nabari that taken very very well to its pot about 4 years ago, haha crazy i know! I don't know what I'm gonna do when it comes to repotting next year any suggestions? Maybe I'll take it to my local bonsai house and see if they will help me...

  • @lokdog257
    @lokdog257 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    How do you prevent inverse tapper? I cut the top of my maple, and more shoots sprang from the top. I decided to let them grow to strengthen the tree, only it started making a bulge at the top. When you make a new leader, do you just trim off any growth from that area? Thank you
    Also, how long should you wait before cutting the leader for tapper?

    • @bozbozman1575
      @bozbozman1575 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I believe it is bulging due to having too many shoots in one spot. Cut down to one

    • @pansepot1490
      @pansepot1490 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I think the rule is, if it’s the top leave just one, to create ramified branches leave two.
      You cut the leader when it’s thick as you want it to be. Then you let another shoot from the top grow and cut it back before it gets as big as the portion below. Each new portion you add must be thinner than the preceding one. The exact size depends on the aesthetic results you want. The process can take years.
      There’s plenty of videos on how to create taper on TH-cam if you want more info and visuals. :)

      @peterchan3100 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      If you already have inverse taper, you can carve it to make it look better. To get good taper takes patience. Leave the new leader for 3 or 4 years to get thick before cutting it down to encourage another new leader to grow.

      All respect to Dr. Chan, he has spoken here, but I will add my penny. IBA and Spagnum would give the greatest root propogation in the shortest time. Leaning the tree to the opposite side will enhance root proposition also. Well that's two pennies.

    I have a question Peter, I want to start growing bonsai again, but our yard, or garden at the British call it, is a foraging spot for the local herd of whitetail deer. They eat literally everything they can including our holly bushes, and I can only imagine how unpleasant that is. My dad and I purchased a few woody hibiscus a few years ago and the deer actually climbed up on to our wooden deck to eat the poor things down to the soil within 48 hrs, needless to say they did not survive.
    We do have a sunroom on the back of the house. It's heated and cooled with the rest of the house, but it's probably the only place that's safe from the deer. Could I try to raise them there and winter them in my unheated garage?

      @@peterchan3100 What about juniper and desert rose? I'm concerned that the desert rose would be instant deer food and I worry anything small is at risk. They can get inside tomato cages. We've tried that. I also want to take some cuttings from my neighbor's Japanese maple and she has agreed. It sounds like that would be safe. What is the best time of year? I have rooting hormone.
      Our deer have lost most of their land to deforestation, so there are about a dozen who browse in our garden. We don't grow grass, but there are plenty of acorns from mature oaks, oak saplings, and other unkempt flowering landscaping shrubs. One to four deer usually sleep in front of our house and a few more bed down with their fawns in the back, and my dad talks to them daily so they don't run. Suburban deer are strange in the USA. My neighbor and her kids hand fed them carrots for a while, but we discouraged that for obvious reasons.
