    Good closeups and detail. I appreciate how hard it is to get clear camera angles, maybe some sort of thin pointer like a chopstick would help

    This was really really informative. Yours is easily one of the most underrated bonsai channels on youtube.
    Could you do something similar with some different non-shimpaku trees? Other junipers (if you have any), pines, spruce, deciduous or whatever really.

    • @Bonsaiworx
      @Bonsaiworx  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      gustavfranklin thank you. You can treat other juniper in the same way as shimpaku. I have done videos on black pines, maples and even some on spruce. There is more than 100 videos on my channel but could be hard to find. I just keep videoing trees I am working on and I hope people like it.

    This is some of the best close-up video of bonsai pruning I’ve seen on YT. Excellent stuff.
    The video work wasn’t “perfect” but you seem pretty well aware of that and probably know where you can improve. Maybe a monitor hooked up to the live feed so you can check on the viewer angle more easily?

  • @sarahbelmonte8888

    I’d love to see on a plant like this some before shots before you start detailing the process & maybe finish with a shot of it all wired up and see the tree in full.
    I’m just getting into bonsai & learning via TH-cam... I think that would help greatly.
    I bought a young juniper so this video was great to make me feel confident to start.
    I’m thinking I’d like to try a cascade... we’ll see.
    Thanks for your work

    • @Bonsaiworx
      @Bonsaiworx  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You need to find where the stem part of the foliage is and then can cut off from the stem. Avoid cutting across the foliage as in topiary or hedge pruning.

    That was awesome! if you have a pad over another pad, is it desirable that this pad is a little bit in front (sticking out of the silhouette) or little bit behind (more inwards towards the tree) than the first pad? Or is that not very important?

    • @Bonsaiworx

    • @Bonsaiworx
      @Bonsaiworx  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sometimes it depends on the size of tree you want. With shimpaku junipers I prefer them as minis or shohin size trees. I have created most of mine from taking air layers off a larger shimpaku juniper which is in a nursery pot. Just keep watering feeding and lots of sun until ready to style etc.

    If your trees get aggressive new growth, do you trim back the green growth to keep the foliage the size you want?

    • @Bonsaiworx
      @Bonsaiworx  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      On a refined tree that's in a bonsai pot, I don't normally get explosive growth. I usually wait til the growth has hardened off before trimming. Could usually mean twice during the growing season I would do this. If you are getting explosive growth then yes you can trim to keep the silhouette.

    • @Bonsaiworx

      Pinching means taking off the foliage entirely and not twisting the tips off. Cutting is only done at the branch points on the wood section. I do not cut the foliage as in topiary style.

    • @Bonsaiworx
      @Bonsaiworx  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I keep my established bonsai well trimmed in that I would do it regularly, maybe 2-4 times in the growing season depending on their vigor. If they are stock plants that are being grown on for size then I don't really touch them at all.
