It's amazing how you can design the trees, I hope to one day be able to visit your school !! It would be a great honor to see your work and meet you!! Thanks a lot for sharing this video!
First of all, let me be clear that I have the utmost respect for Rafael en Bjorn as a Bonsai artist and I love there work and videos! But this mighty old Olive creation is an exception to that rule! All that gnarly and ancient-looking deadwood that tell a natural and mighty old Olive story and then those needly straight downwards hanging Spruce like branches...well that is in my humble opinion fare from looking natural, quite the opposite! This remarkable old tree deserves to look like an Olive and not as a needly styled Juniper or Pine tree! We see too much of those as it is in my opinion! Why not style it like it is now but with more gnarly Olive like branches that grow in different directions like leave trees (especially Olives) do in general...only than you can call it (more) natural looking! Now it is styled way too formal looking in comparisons to that stunning deadwood! Hope you guys don't mind me saying all this, but I just had to state my humble opinion?! Cheers, Hans van Meer.
Ir you're interested, the tree is a Olea europaea var. sylvestris, it doesn't grow only in Mallorca but for the special climate they have It turns out like this. Amazing btw
It seems that every little branch that is cut could be in its own a superb little mame or shohin size bonsai. anybody know if Olea Sylvestris can be rooted??
what do you do with the bits of wire that you cut off? throwing them away seems mega expensive but i really dun think you would cast things out of it or anything
Hello.. question.. My Juniper (I just transferred to a smaller pot) is beginning to turn brown... Am I over or under watering, it's outside..not harsh sunlight.. I spray and water daily.. water drains easily..? HELP.. ty Joe
Maybe try just watering and hold off on the spraying. I read that only a few species of tree benefit from having their foliage sprayed. Not sure about junipers though.
You wait a hundred years. Lol They must have known the history of that particular tree or made an educated guess. Even though I couldn't resist joking, you asked a very good question.
I am sure this tree is up from 250 years old ! Not 100 , we have many of them in our mountains here at Crete ! I know one person whom he has many of them for sale , he has many like them in the half size and they are 200 years old !
Is it me or did they make an olive look exactly like a juniper? The tree is beautiful but let’s be honest: all the beauty is due to the work of nature and time. Not sure the style chosen, however excellently executed, suits the species. Personally it makes me cringe.
Bjorn hate to be a Pain. Why would you not Airlayer the Branch that going away from the Main Trunk to help the Roots and Make a Second Tree. With all that Movement of those Branches you would Have a awesome Second Tree. But to the Boss.
It's very hard to make air layering on such hardwood species especially one that old. Plus, I'm sure he wouldn't want to accidentally spoil the look of the tree.
Olive trees are my favorite bonsai. Excellent job!
Thank you! Cheers!
That came out way better than I thought it would! Wow it looks so good!
The video is a good teacher and helps to understand how to design. Thanks to all involved.
I live in costal Croatia and we have a lot of twisted little olive trees like this.... thinking of adopting one now
the repotting was the best part of this vid
I was waiting for a good olive vid and you got the two best guys to do it.
Wow.. Amazing outcome.. Master at work.. 👍👍❤️

I also thought it was odd that he'd cut natural growth and then say it looked more natural that way lol
Sad outcome 😒
What‘s the difference between Eisei- En and Bonsai Empire?
Ir you're interested, the tree is a Olea europaea var. sylvestris, it doesn't grow only in Mallorca but for the special climate they have It turns out like this. Amazing btw
also in italy!
Absolutely amazing tree, the best olive I've ever seen.
Great work guys :)
Bjorn, you bad man!
mission failed ...the tree looks good in the video !:D
So Nice
Excellent !!
I love this tree!!!
it might be interesting how this tree is looking today.
Realy, is it possible?
It seems that every little branch that is cut could be in its own a superb little mame or shohin size bonsai. anybody know if Olea Sylvestris can be rooted??
The cuttings root very easily in all types of Olive.
@@henriqueleal1909 interesting
Very nice Chinese juniper
0:47 what is that tube?
That's a piece of rubber they put on the anchor wire so it doesn't bite in
great video, please do more like these! :)
what do you do with the bits of wire that you cut off? throwing them away seems mega expensive but i really dun think you would cast things out of it or anything
@@Heritagius aluminium wire is also great cuz you can just cast whatever from it at home or at least i can xĐ
hi, I was wondering but is it possible to burn the pruning of the branches on purpose to put the sealant?
"All of your trees especially olive trees" lol
Cool!
Ps: I’m From Brazil :)
Brazil does not count
Very nice. .
What kind of olive is this anyone????
Try using lead as a weight on the bottom it waste less space because it weighs more
Just put youre hand up if you have a tree like this and this video helped you

Goad n elegan bonsai..
so how do you get a 100 years old tree?
You wait a hundred years. Lol They must have known the history of that particular tree or made an educated guess. Even though I couldn't resist joking, you asked a very good question.
I'm like "They could have air layered those bigger ones they cut off!!" LOL
I think the pot is little small .It's a nice Olive bonsai tree.THatnks for share
I wish they would have made it just slightly less horizontal when they repotted it. It is a beautiful tree though.
I was thinking that. Also, that pot is too small for that tree.
I am sure this tree is up from 250 years old ! Not 100 , we have many of them in our mountains here at Crete ! I know one person whom he has many of them for sale , he has many like them in the half size and they are 200 years old !
Imagine you carrying this and suddenly dropping it without purpose and the tree breaking.
Why you gotta give me nightmares man?! jk
The tree is over 100 years old, why not take one more year and air layered those big branches instead of cutting them off?
So ein tolles Material und so eine uninspirierte Standardgestaltung...das tut weh!
Holding my breath while watching you cut away 100 year old growth, saying no no but in the end it does look much better.
Selection of the pot and position of repot needs to be improved

luar biasa
There's a horse in that tree!

i am not sure how i feel about people taking 100+ year old trees from nature....
