Hi... Thanks for watching! I am not sure what you mean by L swooped. Maybe reach out to the email makemorebonsai@gmail.com with photos?

@ will do today!

Thank you for watching! I just finished recording the next stage in this 'lil tree's development this week. I expect to have that up here on this channel soon!

Well shucks! Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. A comment like yours makes it worth all the effort!

Thanks for watching! Years ago, when I was in college in the '80's, i worked for a bonsai nursery in NY called Bonsai Designs. Mostly commercial bonsai, especially for back then. An amazing advantage was the exposure to most of the species used for bonsai. For 3 years all I did was prune, wire and propagate. I was also charged with maintaining the many collections of trees that were scattered around at the time. I really enjoyed the conventions and spending time with the instructors like Naka and Tomlinson... back before youtube it was pretty rare to get that kind of exposure. That experience has carried me though the years growing bonsai on my own with that commercial production experience as a foundation, making it a lot easier to develop the design and artistic skills for bonsai.

Thanks! Check out my other videos. I'd love to see your comments on then as well!

Thanks... I am hoping to inspire the beginners AND experienced bonsai-curious... I'm glad this video had something for you!

Hi! Thanks for watching! I'm glad you got something out of the video!

Kind of fun having your own Kaiju movie set right?! Thanks for watching!

I'm glad you found this something worth watching! Cheers!

Wow! Thanks for such kind words! I'm glad my 'lil videos are helping you along!

I'm glad you are getting something from it! Welcome aboard!

Those rogue bands of Karate schools are a nuisance for sure... but don't let that stop you from becoming the... best... around!

Thanks! I'm glad you find this video helpful.. and I hope if helps in your class as well!

Yeah and they get better and better every year!

Thanks!

Thanks! I hope you got something out of it. I think time will tell how well this tree develops from here. Its a risky operation that can be scary for someone to try so I hope this boosts some confidence for anyone looking for a solution. You have to weigh the risk vs reward sometimes. In this case I was sure NOT doing it... was settling for a less satisfying outcome. I hope if you encounter a similar situation you'll have more confidence to explore more options. Cheers!

Thanks! Liking your stuff too!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it... I hope you got something out of it!

Too kind! Thanks!

Thanks! I hope you picked up a thing or two or at least got inspired to give it a try! Subbed back!

I hope you get inspired and try one for yourself! Thanks!!!

@MakeMoreBonsai I have wormwood mame that I took on the challenge of dramatic bending. I'm also working on making Shenron as a memorial piece for the loss of both my little brother and the artist who created dragon ball z.

Thanks! I hope you find them helpful!

THAT is a good question! I chose to use the rubber gasket on this one because 2/3 of the trunk was removed to make it flexible. The rubber gasket would help retain more moisture in this extreme case. I do prefer raffia because it does allow some air to circulate and eventually erodes over time. The rubber gasket does require me to remain mindful and remove it as soon as possible to prevent any rot etc.

Awesome! I look forward to hearing form you in the future!

I hope you are able to pick up a few things to try for yourself! To answer your question... everywhere and anywhere over 35 years of enjoying bonsai. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work at a bonsai nursery in the late 80's and have exposure to 1000's of trees to work on... and fail on... during that time. That helped.

Thank you! Cheers!

Hi there! Thanks for watching... and tolerating that light... I am aware and try to be mindful of all of stuff and things that go in for the production... I am taking steps to allow more headroom for that backlight. Your comment did move that to the top of my list to fix for the next video!

I use different ferts for different trees depending on what results I'm looking for. For this one in the early summer I started to give it miracle gro at 1/2 strength for a quick boost and wash out... now that its closer to fall and more growth is evident I'm switching to slow release granule becasue it seems to be fully recovered and growing. Thanks so much for watching!

I'm glad you liked it! I hope you picked up a thing or two and give this a try!

Thanks! I hope these 'lil vids offer some helpful insights!

I can appreciate your POV. I suppose if the tree were going to be entered into contest of some sort at this stage - it wouldn't make it into though the first round. In this case the choice was made, and the challenge was/is to develop a bonsai with this caliper of trunk. Bonsai for some can be the pursuit of indisputable championship material... and for others it can be the joy of challenging oneself to accomplish something within the pursuit that is only definable by one's own vision, or anywhere in between. The sprit of this channel is not to display mind blowing bonsai material. The goals of these videos is to instruct and inspire anyone looking for some bonsai insight, so that more folks can experience joy and success at making bonsai. Keep in mind.. this is just the beginning of year 3 of training for this tree! Who knows what lessons in year five or ten this tree will have to offer? Please stick around! I'd love to see some of your trees and hear some of your bonsai stories.

I don't disagree with you about scale - But what he is doing will over time help to reduce needle size. It will take several years. Also reduced fertilizer will help as well.

I hope some useful information got delivered!

That sounds great! Please feel free to send photos, I'd love to see what you're up to!

@@MakeMoreBonsai do you have a website?

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

​

I could say the same about your contributions to the MMB world with that sparkling demeanor of yours!

WOW Thanks! There is a really active bonsai community here with lots of talent. I look forward to adding more videos.. I hope you like 'em!

Thats a great start! Its always good to have a few to experiment with so you learn what works. I do have a video in the works that hopefully will offer some insight into what you're up to. For now its best to keep them healthy and growing at the 2 year mark... then take that time to experiment with wiring and research techniques for those branch decisions.

Thank you so much for watching! It's amazing to connect with viewers from around the world. I hope you found the information useful!

Thanks! I appreciate your attention!

META as it gets!
