    This video would have invited an awesome opportunity to show us all the progression of the shohin styled itoigawa you wired and did shari on in a previous video. Alas, love the videos, please keep them coming. I actually purchased one of your itoigawa whips after seeing said previous video, and plan to implement your process here in Central Arkansas with it, as far as wiring and net potting it to start. The process and your explanation of things make things easy to follow, will definitely have to make a trip to the nursery in the future post rona... cheers 🍻

    Björn,
    Thank you for that excellent clarification and explanation. I’m new to Bonsai and I hear the big guys toss these names around left and right and it did not make sense to me until now. A breakthrough moment for my little brain in the learning of Bonsai process.

  • @lukasmihara
    @lukasmihara 4 роки тому +3

    Very interesting. I got myself a Chinese juniper a few months ago and I wondered what it's called in Japanese, because it's one of the "normal" Chinese junipers you get here in the West, not one of those Itoigawa-type ones, which seem to be called _shinpaku_ as you also said here in the video. The Japanese Wikipedia says _ibuki_ or _byakushin_ for example, but you said there's also _toshô_ which seems to be a Juniperus rigida and it's also called _nezu,_ _nezumisan,_ _muro_ or _moronoki._ So I'm still not really sure what these standard Chinese junipers with needles are supposed to be called in Japanese, but I definitely learned a bit more about the word _shinpaku._ Thanks for the nice lesson!

    I just want to say thank you. I was always that person who said "awe idk, I kill every plant I ever touch"... During my quarantine "time off" period. Your channel has been a major lifesaver for me. I gained a basic understanding of keeping plants alive. Growing something new. Taking time/care to grow something new. After this summer I have several things to care about now. Thank you for helping me learn to care. I have pride in my few little specimen. I hope to see what my plants can someday become.

      @mikiohirata9627 3 роки тому

      That's (area) one of the most difficult mountains in Japan to navigate.
      Kurobe dam is also one of the biggest if not the biggest dam that took a lot of effort to build due to where it's located. I can't imagine Tahei going up there alone since
      so many lives were lost over the years.

    Very similar to how Tempura really = Tenpura (eg: Tendon, 天丼). 🍤🍚😋
    But, what about San Jose juniper? It’s a Chinensis, but where is it really from... China or California? Is it considered a shimpaku too?

  • @zeroeure
    @zeroeure 3 роки тому +1

    Isele Nursery (OR, USA) sells these tiny specimen called Juniperus Chinensis “Shimpaku”. I wish I knew exactly what it was! It’s beautiful and sorta looks like Itoigawa but how can I be sure? lol

  • @JoseORivera
    @JoseORivera 4 роки тому +3

    I would like to see the comparison through close-up photos of both species of shimpaku (Kishu and Itoigawa) because I always have doubts which is which. I have several species of shimpaku and I would like to identify them correctly. If you could make a short video it would be great. Thank you for this video.

    A few questions. You say that the Rocky Mountain Yamadori are ethically collected? Do they replant when they harvest Yamadori? I see in your video at least three mountain areas denuded of Yamadori. Why don't you do videos of deciduous and small Bonsai? I think I have been able to root some Chickasaw Plumbs I will know in the Spring.

    • @meowmixmeowmix
      @meowmixmeowmix 4 роки тому +2

      Yep its Shinpaku, there is no mm letter in Japanese. It would technically be shi-mu-pa-ku if it was an m but doesnt really exist. I still call it Shimpaku though with a hard "m" XD

  • @emy1111
    @emy1111 4 роки тому +1

    Love it! thank you Bjorn. QUESTION: why do they through the Chinensis in there? were these original shimpakus brought over from china at some point? I see the the words chinese juniper on our garden junipers here.

    • @mikiohirata9627
      @mikiohirata9627 3 роки тому

      Plants have been spreading to wide areas waaaaaaayyyyy before people settled
      anywhere. But academically (and genetically now) they have been determined that
      they were originated in certain area therefore it becomes a genus.
      And Mr. Young it's Shin Paku, not Simpaku.

I changed it out from original pot because it had grown so large. I am going to work on it and return it to an appropriate pottery pot. Would it be possible to send picture of it could you help me identify it?
