I could listen to this guy all day. He seems so nonchalant about his art. He is a true artist.
Another great no-nonsense upload from Greenwoods, keep 'em coming Corin!
loved the timelapst instead of just cutting to the pruned tree! stepping up the production value, love it
No glamour no rocketscience. Just showing the works I love it. And that tree...love it.
Such a stunning tree. Love what you did with it. Looks very elegant now. 👍🏻
The music makes the video,,Dennis 😎
Very nice job, it looked way overdue and you did this tree a favor. Looking forward to a follow up with it leafed out
I,been whatching your video’s since I was in Hospital about 3years ago the best technician and easy no nonsense thought process great corrin Den👍
Oh man, that Maple is gonna be loving that attention, It looks happier already !
Nice one, just what it needed. TY
Great video, I could watch you all day. You make it look and sound like I could do it, I am only a novice and learning all the time. Keep the videos coming.
Richard.
Love your style of how you crack on and get it done Corin , another interesting video 👊👊🌳🌳
Another enjoyable video; entertaining and educational. It has been useful seeing how you cut back the long internode and bringing back the shape of the tree. Also helpful regarding the positioning of the triple trunk in the pot.
A multi stem Japanese maple is one of the most beautiful trees.
love the maple ,very good work Corin .please do a walk thru of your nursery ,thanks
Love it, cracking content. Nice glimpse of the nursery as well. 👌🏻
Fantastic no nonsense instructional demonstration, fingers crossed we see Corin on the international stage .
Splendid Job, Corin.
Hi Corin thanks for doing a demonstration for us last night at our bonsai club,Steve
Another really nice video. Great job!
Nice job my man. Looks much nicer. Lovely tree
Great videos mate keep it up look forward to the next vid. 🍻👌🏼👍🏼
Yet another fantastic very informative video on such a majestic Maple ;-)
Good work Corin! Any chance you could do a video on bonsai tool sharpening, it seems to be a neglected subject.
I second the request about tool sharpening. Thank you!!
Waauuu what a fantastic japanese maple. I would give my left leg for this tree......LOL. Love your videos Corin.
A lovely tree Corin... such a great find. It will be beautiful in your hands. Thank you for the descriptive detail on your pruning technique. Take good care ... and thank you again from a fan in Canada (land of the maple!)
Cheers from the US! Love the videos! Keep them coming!
I wasn't a fan till you said towards the end about the 3 trunks not being straight, not flat, but more in a 3 dimensional fashion. SOOO glad you made that point! To many people place their multi-trunk bonsai in a flat plane and it dulls the composition.
Nice work and nicely explained 👍
You make it look so easy
Love it 👍
awesome tree. great cutback for improvement, too. i like your style, sir. 🖖
That was great!!
Soooo many great informations !!!! I LIKE YOUR WORK !!! :)
Brilliant!.. awesome video!..keep them up!
That’s a beautiful base
Very compliments for this fantastic video! 👏👏👏👏
Very good video and a beautiful tree. Thanks for sharing greetings from Spain and until the next video 👍😄
Amazing to see you trimming the tree with such confidence i was having heart attack watching you lol Great explanation about what growth you do and don't need really enjoyed it , keep up the good work guy's !!
What a fantastic cut back terrific artist. You have got be one of the best
Nice tree. I want to see it in leaf. Please update in a few weeks.
Killin it mate!! keep up the great content. Lovely tree
Another awesome video 👍🏻
Wow amazing bonsai. Very beautiful
Aussie Dave here , nice work, yesterday I bought my first Japanese maple. Mine is only 6 inch tall very young... so fingers crossed I can shape it into something worth while. 🤔
Brutal but effective. Love it👍
check out the follow up video we have done
Just found your channel, excellent stuff bud!!!
Parfait ! Merci ;) Thx bro
Would love to see an update on this one please and thank you 😄
awesome process of bonsai
You make it look so easy.
Another great one.
I never did find the music group you posted tho... (music by - Concrete Rose) /// always great uploads with lots of info....tks !!
Concrete Rose are a Nottingham Band, they have Spotify and iTunes, give them a search!!
@concreterose
I'd have that in my garden.
Awesome video! Learned a lot.
When you started cutting...😱
Nice
Interesting and instructive and I guess, you earn more abonnees. Given time, that number will rise: I have no doubts about that. However, not many of us, bonsaï enthusiasts, do have this kind of (very) valuable trees (or many relatively large Japanese maples to make a forest and so on) and I noticed that quite a lot of people watched your last video about "How to style a Juniper bonsaï"... Just my thoughts... Good luck and keep up the good work!
Thankyou, we are trying to do videos to cater to all. But primarily I'm showing the work I do at my studio. This does involve working on many specimen trees.
@@greenwoodbonsaistudio Thank you mr. Corin. Yes, I understand. And I surely enjoy these videos. In fact, I always enjoy looking at other people working... By the way: the famous book of your dad is my "bonsaï bible" since many years. It's nice to see you going on in that tradition.
Realy nice video. A question: why don't you use pumice or Lava for extra drainage ?
awesome
nice work, but have you no worries about the maple bleeding? this time of year? and could you please make a vlog about your garden? looks nice too. Daniel
all cuts over 5mm were sealed with Lac Balsam afterwards
Thanks Corin.
Man I love the green shears. I see it in many of your videos. Where can I get to buy one of these.
Ah lovely video again. Thank you.
We sell them on our website here -www.bonsai.co.uk/product/greenwood-bonsai-scissors-2/
what a change
Excellent work Corin, and great video! One quick question: you use straight akadama instead of a blend of akadama, pumice and/or lava rock...have you found this a better option? Adding volcanic soils adds aeration to the mix. Thank you!
I use neat akadama on all my Acers.
Hi Corin, I like your channel more and more because of the valuable content. Great work! A question: you always tie in the tree after adding soil. This is different from what most other people seem to do. What is the reason that you do it this way? I'm just curious, thanks.
adding soil first makes the tree more stable and allows final adjustment before conclusion of wiring it in to the pot.
@@greenwoodbonsaistudio Ok, thanks!
Great stuff.....A turntable would help 😂
Very interesting but regarding the large branch at the top of the main trunk and leaning over to shade the other trunks, why was this not reduced as well?
Corin, when you give the tree a major root prune like that do you need to increase the feeding regime.
Great channel. One of my new favorites. Please keep them coming. I notice you never screen the Acadama and other substrate. Is there a reason you don’t screen or you do normally just not in the videos?
Night and day 👍
wow, looking forward to part 2. that was major work, it kinda freaked me out, but im way new to this. watching and learning all that i can. would it be possible to give me the link to where you got those root scissors with the green handles. my small ones i got with the set i bought, its time to replace them. great work and i look forward to viewing more of your work. Thanks, Ron

Sweet.
Parabéns
Any recommendations for aftercare if one does not have greenhouse capabilities?
outside in sheltered position, and bring inside if frost is expected during the night
I was wondering why you don’t dunk the base and surface roots into water to clean away all of the dirt instead of digging away at it? Would love to get your insight. Great videos
because this way is quicker, easier and less messy in the studio
Man that repot is about 4 years too late! I bet that took forever to get into that.
Wouldnt a pressure washer help with getting that root exposed?
Hi Corin, could you do a vid on soil & soil mixes for different trees, I have a lot of Japanese maples, will you explain why you use Akadama on it's own for maples. Thanks in advance, keep up the great work :-)
of course, I use neat akadama on all my acers because it works best
@@greenwoodbonsaistudio Thank you Corin :-)
Nice video again Corin! You make it look so easy, that’s true skill. 😁👍🏻
I can’t help to notice, you don’t sieve the akadama? Isn’t it that so important after all, or perhaps you just don’t use the powder part on the bottom of the bag?
I'd have to work night shift with the amount we use, if I had to sieve it all. First watering most dust washes through. Also we use decent quality akadama, so not as much dust.
@@greenwoodbonsaistudio Ah yes I figured that, thanks for the reply.
👍👍💪
I love the tunes they use on this channel. super chill bluesy stoner rock and bonsai is a great mix.
Hi Corin. How has the tree behaved after the root pruning? Ive read that older Maples can be pruned days after buds have broken and leaves are visible, unlike young maples at budbreak.
It has been unstoppable, still here at the nursery and doing very well.
A gorgeous tree, a feminine tree in a masculine pot, in my mind I can see it in a large oval pot.
yes, that would also be a good choice, but I hadn't got one that was large enough
@@corintomlinson6687 A future repot episode?
will the tree suffer by the fact it will have very few leaves this season?
it'll have loads in another 2-3 weeks, keep an eye out for next instalment.
Great video Corin! I have a dilemma... I hope you can help me :) I have a large Japanese Maple +40 years old and I need to cut a big portion of the trunk (It splits in two and I need to remove one side) When is the best time to do a large truck cut on Japanese maples? Some says summer (June?) to help closing the wound fast some say just after leaves dropped... and I am a bit confused on when s a best time for such a big cut. I hope you can help me clear my doubts :) thanks a lot
Hello In the Uk I personally would do this late feb, and seal with Lac Balsam
What is the growing medium you used?
Dear Sir, I noticed you are using Lac Balsam (a tube is on the table). Is this suitable to seal cuts? And is it an adequate substitute to the "Japanese Bonsai-Cut-Paste"? I'm using the Lac B. too but I think the callus is developing not so well/fast after applying it… Do you recommend the Lac Balsam or the Japanese stuff? Cheers, Chris.
You are the expert but that root pruning seems severe to me.
Bom dia, Flor do dia!
Could you do some work on some younger trees for a beginner, such as the material you sell like the potted deshojos.
yes, we can, but they are all in leaf now, which limits what we can do on them.
@@greenwoodbonsaistudio yeah I understand just some ideas, a lot of TH-cam videos do mainly more specimen trees which makes it more out of my person development point.
My wife accuses me of being brutal when it comes to bonsai. She hasn’t seen you yet.
I was taught never to prune an acer palmatum in spring as it tends to bleed a lot and that weakens it a lot. Any thaughts ?
Its fine, standard horticultural practice. Also all cuts over 5mm were sealed with Lac Balsam. But the world is full of different teachings in different climates
How do you you ship a tree that large?
we can, but more usually customers visit our nursery, so they can see the tree in person and we can give them any advice they might need for care.

good video, but has anyone else had to put up with 18 mins of adverts?
Roy, you can skip the adds after a few seconds
i wish i could Corin, but i cant?
@@royhicks3957 What kind of device are you watching on? You should always be able to skip. Some ads can't be skipped but they're normally only shown once per video.
@@peterboneg Hi Peter, im using a dell inspiron 5490 AIO & its only this video im getting problems with adverts & no skip option, most other youtube vids have a skip option after a few seconds but not this one?
@@royhicks3957 Almost the same as my laptop. Which web browser?
