As someone who has always appreciated bonsai from afar and is just now really learning about it, I always thought grafting would be more complicated. However Bjorn, you made it seem much less intimidating. I have so much to learn and enjoy your straight forward approach to teaching / sharing this beautiful art form. Thank you!
At first I kind of agreed with the guy from the comments in your other video where he made strong points for preserving the bonsai's natural foliage and celebrating natures work. Then I saw how you weaved all of the grafts into different parts of the branch structure and I completely changed my mind. This is gonna be a sick bonsai
It is exciting to see the spectacular nature of the video editing and the quality of the work, thanks Es emocionante ver la espectacularidad de la edición del video y la calidad del trabajo, gracias
I always like seeing your RMJ and wanted one of very own because my tribe is native to rocky mountains. One end up becoming seven little shohin. I agree limber pine is quite difficult to bend. I find it much easier to bend them if you wrap the branch in burlap ribbon and mist the branch like twice to three times a day for a month. I used that technique on my sagebrush in my icon very difficult material to work with.
Great video! I'd love to see a video about the business side of a nursery. I have no idea how a nursery makes money and how the business side is configured. Obviously not too much details and numbers, just a general gist of how things work. 🙂
So cool! Can you take a scion from the tree that you are grafting? In other words, can I cut off one of the outer branches of a tree and graft it in the lower part of that same tree where there is little branches/foliage?
Well done Bjorn,your videos are always very interesting and instructive. It's always a pleasure to see you at work because you have a great technique and professionalism. Have nice time Bjorn! 👍👍👍
Please help, my juniper has white spots between the foliage. Have tried to wash it out with dish soap and anti-spider spray. No success. Could it be pollen?
Hi there I don’t know about all this grafting I think a tree should be just a tree and love it the way it is. The Rocky Mountain juniper is a lovely tree the way it is. You just have to get over the fact it’s not a shimaku juniper and you should be able to make the most of it . I mean it has spent thousands of years making that foliage the best it can be for the conditions it’s been living in , just graft more of its own foliage back into the places you know it needs it. I’m not a big fan of this approach to bonsai I love all trees and think they have been through a hell of a lot in their lives( it’s like taking my head and putting it on another person) . I’m not a big commenter on you tube but put my 2 cents in when I think it’s worth it. still think these trees should be valued as lesser due to the fact it’s not the original foliage. Don’t get me wrong it may look more like a old shimpaku but defo is not the real deal and should not be done, more value should be put on the fact it is original and collected and kept as is for all to see , defo not a shimpaku but just a lovely tree in all it’s own glory. Hope you all understand. Please see this for the future of all bonsai here there and everywhere ,we can’t just go out into the forests and dig up trees cause we think they have a nice trunk and then go grafting some other foliage onto it and expect it to be worth more than an original tree that has been lovingly looked after. Love all bonsai but hope other people have the same though on this process what a wast of a tree when you could be growing shimkau for the future. Not digging up a tree that has lived in the same place for hundreds of years and then go placing a new head on it it will always be feeing a bit strange I think.
Cold yes, but not allowed to get below certain temperatures. It doesn’t hurt to keep them in temperature controlled areas as long as they reach dormancy.
Yourself, Ryan Neil, and the dudes at Back Country bonsai are the greatest examples of “American Bonsai” in my opinion, such inspiring work.
Imagine Bjorn X Ryan working together on a tree......
@@ahb5819 that will never happen 😂😂😂😂.
Björn is a nice guy ,,,sorry but Ryan is just a Just a Moneymaker he only care about his self
Lmao. Giant doobie cracked me up. Great video like always!!!👍
The giant doobie... i wasnt ready.. lol

Great video,👌👍 thanks for sharing
I’m so interested to see what you do when it comes time to prune out the old foliage and keeping the structure of the tree solid!
Yep, that's a video I'd love to see!
Amazing!
At this point I'm liking the videos before I start watching them. 👍
I legit get sad whenever these videos are over man.. and wish I could afford bonsai U
Hahaha even bonsais like a little doobie. Thanks for the video. Getting excited for our spring in April/May up in Canada. Keep up the great work.

Awesome vlog. Good to see you back Bjorn. Nursery looking neat 👍
Enjoyed the vlog style, another good format.

Bjorn would it be possible for you to do a vid for bonsai u showing a mature grafted tree and how all the multiple graft unions look across the tree.
Weed is legal here in Illinois. I'm only 3.5 hours away, you ought to come chill.
Always such an inspiration videos....thanks for sharing again.....love from india 🙏🏻
Well done and good luck in succeeding in as many as possible🤙🤙
👌👍

Whyd you take your podcasts down? I loved listening to them while working on my trees.
2:13 you mean you did work on this tree during your apprenticeship or you would have worked on it cause it is outstanding?
Hehe, he said "giant doobie".
You are just such a boss when it comes to Bonsai. What type of Juniper did you graft on this? Itoigawa or something else?
Why do you cover all the foliage of the new graft and at what stage do you check the graft to see if it's taken. I live in New zealand
is that tree inside the cold room until they take?
👌👍👍🍎
Please help, my juniper has white spots between the foliage. Have tried to wash it out with dish soap and anti-spider spray. No success. Could it be pollen?
Is it possible to grafted hinoki cypress on Juniperus? Those are in the same family but different genus.

how did last year's grafting go? Do you have a followup video?
0:36 I thought non tropical bonsai need to be outside and wither from the weather conditions
Cold yes, but not allowed to get below certain temperatures. It doesn’t hurt to keep them in temperature controlled areas as long as they reach dormancy.
