Nice Timing! I just finished taping a video on dealing with large cuts and closing wounds. Mine will take weeks before it is online, but nice to see the same topic popping up here!
How different is this video ?, love it, Padma has an easy going style of teaching, I don't have trees big enough for the heavy shaping, but will save this for the future .Thank You
Another great vid hope we can see its progress. @padmapriya I know what you mean by trees, we used to cut many trees here in south africa. We had to say no to certain trees of certain ages eg old fruit trees they used to hammer nails into the trunks. Even rocks or half bricks in crutches that had been grown over.
The main reason to apply milliput is because sometimes a cut wound have a deeper hard wood surface than the cambium circle. So we apply milliput to filled that semi-hollow surface so the cambium can to grow on top of it. But here you have a cut wound which the hard wood was not too deep at all, so the milliput was not needed. You can just skip to the second step in this video where you give a little cut inside the cambium circle to promote new cambium growth on the original surface of it's hard wood. I don't see any point to carved a perfectly fine hardwood surface to make it deeper just to apply milliput.
Been using this method for the last year or so, but I also cover wounds with adhesive-backed aluminum tape, instead of good old wound putty. The advantage of the tape is that it's a lot easier to apply over large wounds and can be re-used following future scarification. Nice concise video.
Your video and approach is great appreciated. Two questions: why not originally cut the branch flush so the cambium would have an easy surface to work over? Since the cut branch was there why not cut the dead branch flush instead of digging out a bowl shape and then having to fill it?
Thanks Peter to bring in next herons generation. Pad is very sympathetic and good understandable even for non British listener :-) By the way did you used a different microphone setup? Pads voice comes very very clear even it sounds like raining outdoor
Nice video. Thanks . I’ve wondered if a pruning cut that was rounded over heals better than a cut that leaves a edge on the side with a corned shape for the calluses to climb over. Also leaving a more natural repair. Karl
Nice Padma! shouldn't you keep the cambium covered also with cutpaste to keep it moist? the idea behind this is that once the cambium dries out on the sides, it grows less quicker, or even stops... 🌳🌳✌️🌸grtz
Thanks! I'd want to ask you guys, what do you think of the Japanese healing putties and pastes they sell out there? Are those worth the issues? I was expecting to see something like that and I found out that you use the good-ol' MIliput so used in Airfix models
Hola , según creo eso se usa para tapar agujeros más profundos y disimularlos, pero una solución que yo veo, incluso más interesante sería con una makita ,el intentar hacer hay un agujero bonito, no sé si me e explicado bien Saludos
“Milliput is the 2 part, easy-to-use epoxy putty that molds like clay and cures to the hardness of porcelain. Use for scratch building, sculpting, repairing, gap filling, pattern making and customizing. Ideal for military miniatures, ship model parts, dolls, dollhouse accessories, plastic models and thousands of other items. Roll it as thin as 1/64 inch for making super detailed scale parts . Can be sawn, drilled, filed, sanded and painted when cured. Smooth with a wet finger and cleans up with water before it cures. Fully cured in 5 hours without heat or sooner with a hair dryer. The choice of master model makers throughout the world. Yellow-grey, standard grain, 4 oz.”
Please wear gloves when handling 2 part expoy. You can develope a hyper sensitivity over time. You won't know you have until you're going into shock one day after touching it.
In a good way, you made me laugh in the first seconds of the video. Not sure why. Maybe the glasses? Or the contradiction of looking like a thug or hooligan and then such a gentle voice. LOL
Occlusion fanzy word but used right it can be a nice word, but as Peter says many ppl try to sound importen and try to make every thing sound hard but why use a medical term in bonsai if you try to make more ppl understand
Pad has such a calming presence, he is an asset to your channel.
Nice to see that Peter gets some relief. He must be one of the most active 80+ men around.
Brilliant video and topic. I never fail to learn from Heron's videos. Will Pad be the next Mr Chan? Peter obviously has great faith in you Pad.
Love to see videos from Padma. He is a credit to your team 🙏
Very nice explanation Padma! I look forward to meeting you again 😄
Always a pleasure to hear your voice Padma
Great to see that Herons has a great team of people
Had an inkling this was another Padmapriya video, great info! :) Milliput is so good, even sets underwater too!
That is one of the most beautiful bonsai trees I’ve seen. It’s stunning
Fascinating. Now we all want to see time-lapse 🤣 How long did you say? Probably 10 years?
Great to see you making video’s, not seen this method used before for healing large scars hope it works for you.
Great tutorial. Thanks Pad, keep growing
Really interesting subject and well done pad for sharing with us.

Intriguing concept. Always pleasant to hear from you padmapriya.
God Bless you
More power Bro
Perfect Amizing technique
Great video Pad tree is looking beautiful 😊🇬🇧❤️
This guy is lovely too. Whats about peter? Hope he is well, maybe lots of work in this time.
They are super busy around this time of year. Maintaining all that growth is a lot of work..
Padma makes a video or 4 every year no need to worry Peter is fine i bet
I enjoy listening to Padmapriya´s English accent very much. Cool glasses!! Perfect video! thx

Fun to see other members of your staff! If this works, it'll be a great technique to add to the bonsai toolbox. Looking forward to seeing the updates.
Thank you! Good and very timely
Very interesting technic and only interesting people at herons. Ernie smith from brisbane Australia
Thanks ! I’ll try this technique. By the way … when are we changing the sad music every end of the video ??? It’s beautiful but very sad.
Great idea for taking steps to help the design
Woohoo your at it again brilliant. Ernie smith from brisbane Australia

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter and thanks Padma
Wonderful video. So glad I could hear you. 😊. Looking forward to more videos from you.

Thanks Padmapriya. Another technique to add to the list.
Thanks have enjoined and can do it on my threes now
Hope to see this tree again next year. Great demonstration Pad 👍🏻
Thanks Peter to bring in next herons generation. Pad is very sympathetic and good understandable even for non British listener :-)
By the way did you used a different microphone setup? Pads voice comes very very clear even it sounds like raining outdoor
when is the next video coming? This is a very important technique that gets overlooked by everyone
very fine work!
Nice video. Thanks . I’ve wondered if a pruning cut that was rounded over heals better than a cut that leaves a edge on the side with a corned shape for the calluses to climb over. Also leaving a more natural repair. Karl
Bonsai takes so long to get results. I am so sorry I didn’t discover it when I was younger. I love bonsai. 💚
Thank you
Nice Padma! shouldn't you keep the cambium covered also with cutpaste to keep it moist? the idea behind this is that once the cambium dries out on the sides, it grows less quicker, or even stops... 🌳🌳✌️🌸grtz
I heard that healing putty has a growth hormone in it to promote healing over. Is this just regular molding clay?
Peter this question is about Cut Paste, are there tree's you must always use cut paste on. Keep up the great work
Good job…very informative!
Is there a follow up to see how this turned out?
Great video!!🌲

Is this any epoxy sealant ? Please reply.
It’s a 2-part self curing epoxy putty, he says other similar products also work.
Is putty put over the edge of the area scraped away?
You could try an approach graft to help close it even faster!
Interesting to see how it goes in the future.
is there a follow up to this ? 👀

……. great video, Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Much better front when you turned it at 0.47
Nice to see Mora knives being used.
Great tip. Thank You
Hey could you do one on Kingsville boxwood?? Best wishes
Is that more material just a regular two-part epoxy? Anything special in the properties required?

You are amazing
Can we get a 1 year update please?
Nice!
If only someone created a tool to mix mills put together … 🤷♂️
🔥💕👌👍

Very good point

🥰🥰
Please wear a microphone so we can hear you, they are cheap and worth every penny
Tree surgeon??
Precioso harce mira mis bidios y acosajame😜
Note to self, roll out the putty with your hands, chewing might not be needed.
👍👌👌🍎🙂
eh,... no comment
Occlusion fanzy word but used right it can be a nice word, but as Peter says many ppl try to sound importen and try to make every thing sound hard but why use a medical term in bonsai if you try to make more ppl understand
Do you have any idea if double component puty will be not toxit to the tree?
I do not know the one you are using, does it smells really chemical?
