Good concise information on bonsai. I really appreciate your videos and your channel. You impart very good, clear information on your growing techniques . Thanks for sharing your experience. Keep it up, and keep growing bonsai.
Stopped the video at 54 secs to try to answer the question before enjoying the video.
Thicken branches and trunk, gain vigor, make some propagation, make a graft.
That's 5 but that's all I could really think of.
Ahhh yea heal wounds! Forgot about that.
Good going, and thanks for playing!
😮love this channel!
Thank you so much for explaining this
I need to start using sacrifice branches. I'm always afraid of not doing it properly. Choosing the wrong branches or the wrong placements. You helped me understand it a bit better! Thank you yet again for the great information!
Go for it! In the end, worst that can happen is that you thicken parts that you did not want to thicken and need to rethink your design. Just take a younger less valuable plant and have a try!
These videos are becoming more and more useful. Great resource.
Ohw, thank you so much!
I absolutely love the idea of airlayering the sacrificial branch. 😍 Also never thought about letting braches grow at the underside of the branches to thicken them. Thanks Jelle for sharing. 👍 Have a great day 🙋♀️ Cheers, Martina
Glad it was helpful! Have fun and keep growing bonsai!
Brilliant! Definitely learned a couple of tricks - can't wait to apply next year!

Love the Video, learned alot and love that little edible fig at the end, also busy edible fig bonsai have 2 sacrifice branches on my fig, currently busy airlayering one will air layer the other one also later.
great, is it a big branch you are rooting?
@@GrowingBonsai its about half the size of the trunk,
Jelle, you do know that propagating new plants by air layer "just because" it is there, is a diagnosable illness? Well, it should be, anyway! I am a chronic sufferer, and that is yet another way that new plants appear in the garden. "Honey, that isn't new, it is part of that one over there." I feel so guilty when I prune a tree but don't take a cutting, or put on an air layer!
The main problem is, there is no known treatment, except complete cold turkey: Remove ALL access to layerable material.
@@GrowingBonsai Sadly, that is true. To the detriment to the tree - thus the "get around" is made clear!! Keep growing, I support you! 😜

Thank you so much!
You could also argue that a sacrifice branch will sacrifice vigor in the main tree. The tallest branch will produce auxin decreasing the growth in the rest of the tree. I’ve seen this quite a few times. Like you I almost always air layer or take sacrifice branches off as cuttings often putting early bends in sacrifice branches. What is not talked about as much is the potential benefits of letting suckers grow grow on bonsai trees.
Yes, a tall sacrifice keeps growth in the rest down. But overall, the plant gain strength, and when you remove the sacrificy, I find the tree is overall stronger. I personally do not allow suckers to grow, as they create lots of lower trunk scars.
👍
:D
Thanku Jelle for an excellent tutorial and an acceptable level of whimsy!! God bless you 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️
My pleasure!! Happy to see you here!👍
Wow Jelle, you’re really on a marathon tonight! I really appreciate you replying my dear, especially as you have so many subscribers these days ( n well deserved May I say?!) as always God bless you 🙏✝️
@@gayefanner731Hey, a channel only has subscriber count due to the subscribers! Trying to catch up on replying. Spending a few hours back one month now, another one to go!
You’re too modest my dear, you’ve totally earned your subscribers ! I remember way back when you were wondering if it was worth it?! 🧗♂️?! Xg
I absolutely do! In fact, I had a moment a few weeks ago where I had a string of haters on my channel and wondered the same again.. @@gayefanner731
👍👌🙂
:D
am i the only person that saw what looked like opium poppy next to the triden maple? Im sure it problably wasnt opium but i wouldnt blame him they are beautiful flowers and you know help with sleeping hehehe
I have many different poppies growing in my garden. I doubt any are opium poppies!
Jelle will you accept seeds if sent to you?
Sure. Whether I pant them depends on the seed!
Aesthetically viewed such branches are not so beautiful.. I'd be very curious of your thoughts about wiring such branches to give them some curves
