  • In this video Corin demonstrates how to defoliate an Acer bonsai in order to asses the structure and prune. By defoliating the tree will have a second flush of finer growth that with the added structure prune will improve the tree's elegance.

    You can never visualise the tree looking like that at the end but always explained well and makes sense why it does. Is this something you do just on the larger tree's or does it apply to maples ? Another great video guy's keep em coming!!

    I saw a Herons video yesterday which mentioned how defoliating like this can make the plant make larger leaves.
    I was trying to think of an explanation for this as it is opposite to many trees. But the node drawing moisture and nutrients from the cut point would make a stronger hence larger leaf.

    • @greenwoodbonsaistudio
      @greenwoodbonsaistudio  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No it doesn’t. They don’t push larger leaves after defoliation. That info isn’t correct. However i would add that after defoliation don’t put it in a greenhouse or poly tunnel and don’t feed until new leaves are out.

  • @markbonham2648
    @markbonham2648 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have a Japanese maple about the same size that is the perfect candidate for these procedures. Now I don't have to be anxious about doing what needs to be done! One question though, since I don't have a greenhouse...would full shade be appropriate for it's recovery period?

    Hello. Good night from Spain. I was surprised to see the defoliation of a steel, I had understood that deciduous trees could not defoliate, except in autumn, when its leaves are already beginning to fall to improve the entry of light and favor sprouting for the following spring. Could you explain to me, if possible, the reason for this defoliation technique at this time of year? Thank you so much Greetings and until the next video👍😄

    Question about the leaf stems. You keep them when you’re clipping the leaves, but it looks like they’re being removed when you strip them by hand. What is the reason for keeping them (when clipping)?
    Btw, I’m enjoying the videos!

  • @janspoor3882
    @janspoor3882 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the very useful video, Corin. I see that you take off the leaf stalks too, when you defoliate with your hands. Isn't that detrimental for new growth?

    Hello sir. My JM's are all in pots, and all of them are leaf scorched and look horrible from our massive heat in Texas. The watering isnt the issue. I'm positive it's leaf scorch. They look horrible. Won't cutting every single leaf off KILL it? I'm frightened but I'll try. Can you advise? It's still so so hot and still early summer here...

    • @greenwoodbonsaistudio
      @greenwoodbonsaistudio  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Defoliating it won't kill it, but ideally should be done end of June, so you are a bit late, I can't advise about keeping them in Texas. Because as much as I'd like to visit, I never have.
