Giving My Wild Larch Bonsai a Prune, The Bonsai Zone, Sept 2019

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.ย. 2019
- I've left my Larch bonsai to grow for the entire summer without any pruning. Today, I give it a prune and re position one of the branches.
The tree in this video is a Larix laricina, commonly known as a Tamarack or the North American Larch.

You're like the Bob Ross of bonsai.
Always making happy little trees.
Thank you very much, I love watching Bob Ross!
I think i have learned as much from Nigel over the past couple of years than all of the classes and seminars i have attended during that time combined. Thank you so much for taking your time to teach Nigel!
He'll yah same here dude
The wiring has made this tree look so much better! For some time, when ever I saw this tree the two branches always made me think of a little kid playing airplane with her arms out straight zooming around banking left. This resolves that. Good stuff!
The color of that pot really matches that trunk.
Thank you Zack, I like the style for the tree also, I was lucky to find a mica pot like that!
That shot after you finish wiring, on black, really pretty shot. The mud splatter in the background even adds something special.
Very nice Nigel, thank you. 🇬🇧
Thank you Phil!
Looks really good.
Enjoying this series of prepping trees for your local show. Nice story/lesson about your hard work on the tree that died. Thought of LaFontaine with that one. Thanks for sharing.
I always try and look on the bright side, I did learn a lot about training Larch trees from that first tree!
Your hair looks like a bonsai tree , you're the best keep up the great videos man
Wild hair, wild trees!
@@TheBonsaiZone heck ya!!!! You're the best Nigel. Best videos , coolest trees , non annoying voice unlike many other uploaders, keep up the awesome work!
Awesome work
I feel like that larch possibly has a third front, too. About 20°~30° turned counter-clockwise from the original front.
This tree looks quite good on both of the sides, as well as front and back.
you're a true bonsai master!
I'm just having fun and learning with my trees!
@@TheBonsaiZone i respect that!
Awe... Beauty! The wild ones are turning yellow here already...
Really? Wow, I think it will take another month before we get colour on the Larches here!
@@TheBonsaiZone You're very lucky! Your spring was so much earlier this year too! Your trees were out and green, we still had frosts!
the base is looking great. nice guy wire work.
I’ve always loved your work. Very inspiring!
Thank you, I'm still not sure if I'll put the tree in the show yet. I'll have to see how full the car gets!
Nigel Saunders, The Bonsai Zone - I hope you do. That said, wether the tree makes it or not to the show, the world has already seen the beauty of it on your channel 😊
Once that branch is set that "back" 8s going to make an amazing front for that larch.
Thank you, I think it will take a year or maybe two to set the branch and it will probably slowly rise again over the years.
Great video as usual Nigel, I have recently saved a couple beach trees from being Dredged away on the edge of a river. I will use techniques i have received from you. Right now I am hoping to let them grow wild so i can get a little more girth. Im not sure if you can make a bonsai from a Beach Tree but i will try..
I like the front you chose. The first bend in the trunk come back to you from this front and I like the nebari from the front you picked. Just my 5-cents.
Thank you Dan, great to get another opinion!
This tree looks awesome.
Thank you!
How long would you estimate the wire would have to stay on to make the branch position permanent?
usually when you see the wire start to cut into the branch.
I think it will take a year or maybe two to set the branch and it will probably slowly rise again over the future years.
frst time i saw u wering. aft wering its looks fantastic sir.
Hi Nigel I enjoy watching yr work very much(even though I don't own a bonsai),sometimes makes m cringe how much u cut the trees but the end result it's good. Just a silly question couldn't u use fishing "wire" to direct the branch? Just thinking if u wanna take it to a show u wouldn't be able to see the wire. As I said I've no experience just curious.
foist
Foist by 5 seconds Ali, very fast once again!
2 in a row right? I am getting closer to three.
Hurray Ali!
He's still got the skills.
I’m not sure if it was some sort of depth perception optical illusion...but the yew looked SO huge next to you on the bench. I hope it’s doing okay.
I was wondering about the yew as well, did not see a lot of green in the small portion we could see in the screenshot.
It is a very large tree! It still has green on top, but it doesn't look very good. I'm thinking I'm slowly losing the battle.
@@TheBonsaiZone Have heart it will survive lets not forget it has been stressed enormously.
@@TheBonsaiZone Keeping my fingers crossed!
@@TheBonsaiZone i just seen the yew update you did on the serissa. The green gives me hope. I airlayered 3 branches, they all rooted and where potted up.... 2 died and where brown by early summer. The last one didn't do much. It didn't grow all year, some browning, but not much. It wasnt until the start of the next season it started doing well, So hopefully yours can make it through the winter.
Sweet!
👌👌👌...!!!
Hello Sunit, thanks for the thumbs up!
Love to get a larch but live in an area that is remote , so hard to get different varieties of trees. Any suggestions as to where I could purchase one from.
It would be best to buy seeds online, here is a good source...

I can see a glimpse of your largest bonsai. Dada, how is it now? Survived or not?
the shape of that bonsai reminds me of dancing Hindu goddess Kali
Nigel, I would like to send you a picture of my larch and have some suggestions. Would this be possible in some way?
You can email me at...

Looking forward to seeing your tree!
It looks like a litle Groot!
Cool!
Nice!!!
Thanks Mary!
Gud
Thank you RR!
Is your big Yew at your left ok? Looks not very good (the bottom part, at least, that is seen from 16:00 to 19:00)
It's not looking good, the top still has some green, but it's looking weak. I don't think it will survive winter.
@@TheBonsaiZone so sad :(
Much to do about the "journey" more than to come to the end of the road.
Hi, you just mentioned about bonsai show in 6 days. May I ask where and when show is going to happen ?
It is in the city of Waterloo Ontario Canada on Sept 7th 2019......
Just a reminder folks - we are have KW Bonsai Society's 2019 show on September 7 from 10am to 4 pm. at Hilliard Hall, First United Church Waterloo, King & William St. Come and see the wonderful miniature trees from some wonderful artists.
Oh no, looks like your Yew didn't make it (it appears.) I had a single trunk Yew that was 25 years old that never made it. I should've used your soil mixture then, maybe it would have survived.
The Yew still has green on top, but it isn't growing with any vigor. It might stay green for the rest of summer, but I think it is unlikely it will survive the winter. I still have a glimmer of hope, but time will tell.
I live in New Jersey. Some of my bonsai friends tell me that it doesn't get cold enough to have a Boreal Larch as a bonsai. Perhaps I could stick it in the freezer? or....I could move to Canada! I have people in North Ontario. Is that "north" enough? My friends point me to the Japanese Larch, but ..... it's just not the same. It would probably be too cold in New Jersey. LOL
I think he lives near Toronto which is not that "North" I live in NW WI and I am in a different zone, you probably are also. Check your zone. I'm in 4 and larch do fine here
he does live west of Toronto which is not that far "North" you are in the same growing zone of 6a or so. Try it.
Nice work, what type of wier is that BIG silver type roll
@@jajajai5546 yes I mean the big silver wire roll that he has on the table
the wire he is working with is copper and that was separate from the spool
The silver wire is aluminum wire, it's good for holding larger branches.
Could you give an update on the yew that was dug out of your yard?
I will soon, it still has some green on it, but the chances of it surviving winter will be very low.
@@TheBonsaiZone That's what I was afraid you'd say! I hope it beats the odds, but I won't hold my breath. At the very least, it might still be useful as a nurse log.
I feel autumn, or early spring is best for large dig up
Hi Nigel....my jade tree branches and leaves are falling off... i am watering it little only once the top soil appear to be dry. Here i have monsoon season right now and i am not keeping it outside, i am keeping it in the balcony where plenty of indirect sunlight is coming. Please help me with it. Please let me know if any kind of disease is suspected. I am not finding any kind of bugs on it. Its totally clean
If the leaves shows a discolouration, (turning yellow before falling off) it could be over-watering for Jades. I only water mine when the leaves starts to wrinkle
@@meltingslurpee no, the leaves are not turning yellow.... instead they are green...but they are appearing to be loose ....and then falling....as if they don't have any life remaining in them....
Hello Rahul, it might be possible that your tree is just growing quickly and the older leaves are falling off as the trunk and branches thicken. If the growing tips look healthy and vigorous, then this could be a possibility. This can happen with an old Jade that hasn't been cared for very well and then suddenly it's given good light and careful watering. This good care can cause it to grow quickly for the first time in a long time and the sudden thickening causes the old leaves to fall.
@@TheBonsaiZone the leaves are turning loose moreover the soft green branches are turning loose and then falling off. Is there anykind of infection in the roots ?
I can only guess, but the humidity is probably enough during monsoon, and the tree could go almost without any watering for those months. I'd check the roots.
Hey Nigel,
I always enjoy your videos, but your signature can be quite loud/high pitch for more sensitive ears (as it is in this video). Just thought I'd let you know. Thanks. //David
Thanks David, I'll be working on some new theme variations for next season!
@@TheBonsaiZone Exciting!
