Congratulations good for the educational videos. I recently opened a bonsai channel and I know how much work there is on those videos. greetings from Spain
I have watched tons of vids on black pine pruning and this vid is bar far the best. Would love to hear about what to do with the leader when you have multiple candles at the apex
I would like to say that your videos have been the most helpful I have seen. you go over so much detail and that's what others just won't do. I am really looking forward to seeing more videos. I would love to see some on working with and on dead wood and what one would need to do so. I would also like to see maybe some on maples and maybe oaks as well. thank you for these great videos and I wish you the best.
Thank you for the subtitle option, it make me more easy to understand because English is not my first language. And very helping video , thanks a lot :)
By far the most helpful advice I have seen on this ‘king of bonsais’. I have studied with several people, one of whom was a Japanese master here in Australia who specialised in black pine, and this is still the best tutorial I have received. Thanks for making it so simple Jason. Looking forward to now trawling your site to find other seasonal care of black pine. Thanks for sharing.
I get that you remove all the candles in summer for a JBP and select two to keep in the fall. What do you do with the new candles that have grown long from the spot of the summer cut that you decided to keep in the fall? Do you cut those back again leaving some needles at the base of the candle in the fall?
Hey guys! Could anyone please help me understand the difference between the bud and the candle? Doesn’t the bud eventually develop into the candle? 😮 Thanks in advance
I red a technique where they only pinch the candles (cutting them for approx. 60%) before the needles come out. Can you explain the difference between "gap cutting" and "pinching" candles and the idea behind this. Thanx for the clear video!
Thank you bro your video always helps!! Have you ever heard of BANSHOSHO Japanese black pine ??I just got one I can not find it on UA-cam ONLY if I google it, it’s about 25 to 30 years old and needs some tlc …
Hello, Looking for some advice for my JBP. Japanese black pine. My JBP seeds has finally sprouted and I am looking for some expert’s advice on how to make it grow stronger and healthier.
Wow. Thank you so much for this informative video. I have a Japanese black pine that’s about 13 years old, and I was stressing about how and when to trim the candles. You’re awesome, sir. Would you think these dates are the same in Florida?
Hey there Jason, love your work, it's really awesome. Got a little confused with energy distribution. The material I've been reading says to cut the strong candles at the apex 1st so the energy goes downs to the weaker ones developing them and then the middle section and botton. Help me out plz! Greatings from Brazil.👏👏👏🌱🌳
Hello Jason, thank you for your video sharing. Really enjoying watching them. However when I pruned my pine this summer it died. Don’t know what did I do wrongly and will them come back? Best regards, Helen
Hello, this video was a before and after for me, now there are several doubts that I had about the meikiri, just to make it more clear to me, in what season of the year did you cut the candles?
Subscribed! Hi Jason. Echoing other comments, you've detailed and demonstrated with quality videography what I've had such a hard time wrapping my head around the "Bonsai Today Master Series" book. You made it easier to understand and I like your 10 day 3 stage (10/3) interval too. This video gives me more confidence in my BP care. read on... I would be very grateful if you would duplicate this video, especially for White Pine but also one for Mugho pine which pots up in Summer months, but need confidence in styling and pruning my Mugho. I have no confidence with my WP and am losing style with a beautiful one. I have 3 very nice sized WP and need such guidance as you demonstrated with this wonderful Black Pine bonsai video. Thank you!
This explaination was very clear & understandable. Thank you I have 2 Qs further... 1) the branches or needles or candles v cut. Can v put them in soil & grow new trees? 2) when u cut candles then u removed the extra needles below. So will these needles grow back or not?
I bought a really nice pine from a nursery (pinus heldreichii), I bought it because it had a good size, shape and a fat trunk with old bark but the branches are quite bare with growth only at the ends, there is nothing going on close to the trunk. I know that pines don't back bud as easily as deciduous trees but will it back bud at all?
BEST BONSAI VIDEO EVER!!!!!! It's almost November, are you going to show the next branch selection cuttings you make on that "Y" branch? That would be really helpful.
It is spring in Australia (September) and I have many long candles and little pine cones on my black pines. They are still young trees, less than 10 yrs. should I wait until Summer or start removing cones etc now?
Hi Jason, I live in Australia so the time frame for pruning is different. I have watched your video and it was really fantastic. I do though before I try let you know what has happened. If have had my bonsai pruned by a person that was a bonsai specialist and in the summer of last we had horrific bushfires and he lost his house along with all his bonsais of over 100 years. I do not know where he is at present, but I have this magnificent black pine very old and have been afraid to tackle this myself. It is two years now and the tree is very healthy but very bushy. What do I do in this instance when I have these years coming up to three without pruning? What do I take it back to? What do I leave and pick off? Need to do this properly and need all the help I can get. This tree means more than you know, just knowing he has lost all his trees and I have two very old ones that deserve the best.
Thank you! I have a Black Pine that is 20 years in my care and he needs a shaping!
The most helpful video I have seen on this topic. Thank you
The very best video I ever watch for black pine tree bonsai tutorial
Really helpful for me as I've only really collected pine but don't know how to get the ramification untill now, thankyou
I just got my first two JBPs. This was exactly what I needed Jason. 🙏
Thx you for very good video with explanation !

Great video . I like the very close up shots. You really explain everything. But keep it easy to understand as well. .looking forward to future videos
I am new to the JBP bonsai. This de-candle info is very helpful. I like how you explain each step in a systematically. Thanks you so much!
This made so much sense. I have struggled with understanding care of black pines even though I have been taught by an expert in the field.
Can I pluck older needle on branches closer to the trunk to open up the tree ?
Thanks, you made this a simple as possible to understand.
Thank you for your explanations. You are awesome at helping us newbie! Love your videos!
Really appreciate your in-depth explanations....Thx! Just found your channel!

Thanx Jason, this was really well presented. I appreciate the time you took to share this. I learned a few things.
There was five candles on one at my apex this really helped me to understand the process thank you!
Very nice information on black pine 🌲 ! Good work
I get that you remove all the candles in summer for a JBP and select two to keep in the fall. What do you do with the new candles that have grown long from the spot of the summer cut that you decided to keep in the fall? Do you cut those back again leaving some needles at the base of the candle in the fall?
Another EXCELLENT, INSTRUCTIVE, video/lesson!
I also would like to know if these same techniques can be used on a white pine.Great video, always look forward to videos from you.Thanks

Can you do a Italian stone pine.
Hello Jason, a very nice and clear video!. So much detailed descriptions. It was very helpfull (anyway for the next season :-))

Thanks so much for all details you have shared
Have a nice day
Very informative! Thanks for sharing. Please make more videos on pruning, trimming, and styling black pines. Thanks
Your style and clarit are appreciated. Can you please explain further energy distribution?
excellent teaching skills. good mind for awareness of what we DON'T know, but you do.

Hi Jason, thanks for the great tutorials. Very easy to understand and great detail on the photography. Keep 'em coming please. Thanks.

Such a helpful video! Thank you
Great info, I just ordered a Black Pine from your online store. Looking forward to applying what you have shown in this video.
Thanks buddy

You are correct! 30 plus yrs. with 2 Bonsai businesses, now retired to just JBP's. Over 30 in my own collection.
do you have any advice for trimming back a leggy black pine?
If you leave more of the older needles, will your pine bud farther back on the branch?
Thank you for this tutorial. Does this same method apply to any pine tree?
Hello Jason, thank you for your video sharing. Really enjoying watching them. However when I pruned my pine this summer it died. Don’t know what did I do wrongly and will them come back? Best regards, Helen
Hello, this video was a before and after for me, now there are several doubts that I had about the meikiri, just to make it more clear to me, in what season of the year did you cut the candles?
Thank you for the best explanation
Good video, could you do a video about fertilizing a black pine bonsai, please?

I would be very grateful if you would duplicate this video, especially for White Pine but also

my Mugho. I have no confidence with my WP and am losing style with a beautiful one.
I have 3 very nice sized WP and need such guidance as you demonstrated with this wonderful
Black Pine bonsai video. Thank you!
The best tutorial jbp ever👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cool, do we decandle a Scots pine the same way?
So helpful! thank you! I just got a 30 year old black pine, but i am relatively unfamiliar with them.
Awesome video
Would you treat a mugo pine in the same manner? If not could you please do a video on mugo pine
excellent video. Would the same technique of pruning sections (bottom to top, separated by 10 days) apply to a full size tree?
This explaination was very clear & understandable. Thank you
I have 2 Qs further...
1) the branches or needles or candles v cut. Can v put them in soil & grow new trees?
2) when u cut candles then u removed the extra needles below. So will these needles grow back or not?
It's one of the hakuho pine tree. Rather large lol but looks like a bonsai. I just want to keep its shape. Thank you so much for the reply.
Hi Jason. Great videos the best on the web I have watched! Could you make a video pruning a juniper and a Japanese Maple please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I know that pines don't back bud as easily as deciduous trees but will it back bud at all?
If you have a long branch, is it possible to bring the needles closer to the trunk again? And how do you have to prune? Greetings from Germany
This is great :) Can you do something similar covering white pines? Thanks
Hi, which is the best season to make this work?
Hello Eastern Leaf! I was wondering if you could do a review on one of your seed kits?
Hi Jason. I have a question if I can skip cutting candles and new grows until next year and what can happen if i skip? Thanks
Hi. Experts say to cut the stronger branches first ie the top first. If you cut the weaker branches first they get weaker.
BEST BONSAI VIDEO EVER!!!!!! It's almost November, are you going to show the next branch selection cuttings you make on that "Y" branch? That would be really helpful.
How to shorten length of the pine tree Branches ? Can I get back budding by directly clipping branch??
Please help
Is it possible to grow black pine at tropical country like Indonesia?
Cool I'm planning on growing some trees from seed this spring so I can get started on growing some stuff.
tks for your time... regards
I have a 12' BP in yard ...wanting to form. How does candling differ there than in small container?
helped me a lot to develop my pine! thx mate!
Amazing video! I'd love to see a Larch version.
