Can I ask question please, I have 2 years old juniper and it's in the pot and it's getting tall and thin , can I prune it from the top to get strong trunk and makes new foliage?
Ive never had a true bonsai, just those crappy little glued in ones you can find at Walmart. But I was given a true juniper bonsai for Christmas, and I had no idea how particular their care was. I'm dedicated to not letting this gift go to waste, and your video helped me IMMENSELY! Thank you!
Have watched countless of bonsai videos you are one of the best because you actually explain the whys which they help understanding the reason why we are doing certain things. Also you are able to do that by keeping it simple! Very good!! Keep standing out by keeping this approach. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback :) my main goal when starting the channel was to try and make things a little easier to digest as there is a lot of information. I find that equipping people with the knowledge of why helps them apply the techniques better then just showing it and not explaining it.
@@BonsaiEn with the broken branch if you don't have wire on it already can you use grafting film and if it's alright with you the link to this Channel and all of the beginner Bonsai online group
SOMETHING I FORGOT TO MENTION IN THE VIDEO : When i was talking about wire i mentioned about putting the wire on the opposite direction from its last application to create a sense of age. What i forgot to mention at this point was this is done a season or 2 apart to allow the original scarring to heal over properly, if you do this in the same season you will kill the tree as you will cut of the flow with an X in the the trunk. This is something that needs to be done with alot of caution. ive successfully done it on a few of my junipers now but wouldn't recommend anyone try it until they fully understand how to achieve it safely.
This is a first class lecture you've given here. I've just buy today my first Blue Point Juniper and I'm really very grateful to you on the way you explained everything with so much detail. Keep up the great job buddy.
Hi , I like this video because you explain things going back to basic scientific facts. Not many bonsai experts will talk about gravity columns or aerobic and anaerobic soil mixtures. As a person who has spent the last forty years looking after sick humans, you talk my language. Thanks. I will be watching you more often.
I just want to thank you for being so down to earth and making this a little easier on a newbie here. I am really enjoying the journey which is the whole point in doing bonsai. But if I can help a tree survive my journey along the way so much the better for the tree and for my pocket. 😆 Have a great day!
Probably THE best bsic info vid for bonsai I've ever come across. The info was spot on, and gives beginners, ( and intermediates) great, true info on Junipers. Great work. I've been trying ( with disasterous results ) for almost 2 decades to learn, several species of trees that I have, and my collection is basically, an illustration of mistakes, from year to year, including this year. I am just now finding your channel, ( wish I had earlier ) and have, indeed, picked up some good info. My biggest issues are usually, timing for processes like heavy pruning, light trimming in different species, and styling decisions for present and future. I have Trident maples, several types of Junipers, ( my 2 young Shimpaku are awful, my Hinoki is VERY small pre-bonsai, so not styled yet ) and 2 Chinese elms, several type of Japanese maples, etc...all testimonials of my past mistakes...LOL.. Thanks for the vid, I'll be checking more of your channel out as well.
Very interesting hearing someone else has noticed the one month seasonal delay thats been happening, also when it's someone on the direct opposite side of the planet. Wonderful information, hoping my tree isn't too far gone!
Great video mate, not many people want to give out this info, been growing for a few years now n you just cleared up the problems I've had with my more mature junipers, thanks
Im glad to hear you have taken something away from this video, Im always happy to share anything i have learnt along the way and i try to highlight the struggles i faced.
Like anything in life , you learn from years of experience with all the ups and downs that come with it. Then you become the expert , 15 minutes, I doubt it very much lol.
Got a new juniper think I know what I need to know but stumbled across this and thank you so much for such an in depth 'crash course'!!! This is unbelievably helpful and you have a new subscriber for sure - thank you great work mate!!
Thank you so much. I'm new to bonsai and therefore somewhat confused about all of the points you've covered in this video. I'm much less confused now! My poor junipers thank you. I very much appreciate your bullet point style presentation. It allowed me to take notes in a way that makes sense, unlike most other videos. Really excellent job.
That's awesome to hear mate! I'm glad we could help you understand your junipers a little more, and hopefully now you can acheive what you have in mind for them.
Excellent, well-organized, relevant and perfectly presented lecture. Conversational without being too wordy and very educational without being boring. Subscribed! Thank you.
Thank you very much! You, sir, are an excellent professor. You shared clearly the most pertinent knowledge you have reaped by means of your many years of hands-on experience. I really appreciate this video.
Thank you! Great video! It covered so much information and explained WHY you do what you do, and how it influences the plant's future health and look. Thank you for keeping it simple!!
So glad you are an Australian bonsai expert! Just in time for me to gain knowledge before I touch the plants I just bought. I may have to leave them for a year first. Mine are not bonsai yet but I chose five which have excellent possibility. Thank you!

I’m learning so much from you. I love your style of teaching. How you explain and give rationale for what you do. I just recently started reading and watching everything bonsai. I’m fascinated by this art. My first project is a blue star juniper. Keep up the good work. New subscriber!
Thank you for an excellent video. This is the most comprehensive, informative and easy to follow video of the many I have viewed on UA-cam. You presentation was right on target for what I needed to understand when and how to care for and prune my 2 year old juniper bonsai. Keep up the good work.
This video was very informative and helpful for me as a beginner. I live in New York in the Hudson Valley. I recently plucked 2 young junipers straight from the woods. They are young enough that I can shape them to how I want as they grow, and old enough that they have an established trunk, (one is about 2 feet, the other around 2 3/4 feet tall), and it's a smaller investment in case I mess something up. I also plucked some very young maples. Their seeds have germinated all over the place this season (Spring 2022), so they are very young. Same deal, I can experiment with them without spending a whole lot of money, plus I know where they came from. Wish me luck!
This was sooooo helpful!! I learned a few really interesting things about how junipers grow. I'm new to the hobby 😅 The most interesting piece of info was probably how the mixture of the soil affects how thick your roots grow. Very interesting! loved the video!
I only recently subscribed but already I’ve gained an incredible amount of bonsai knowledge. Your explanations of what you’re doing and WHY are very understandable. I look forward to much more. Thank you!
I got my juniper bonsai a week, from some random shop. The bonsai looks small and the trunk is not quite develop, but the overall health is good. So I got curious and decided to repot it because I wanna develop the trunk. When I analyze it’s root, the root system is not really good, it did not even cover half or at least close to half of its pot. I immediately knew the guy sold me an under develop cutting. So now I repotted it using “developing” pots with air holes and draining at the base. I soiled it using high Nitrogen content and medium P and K content. I hope it grows well, if it does I will probably stop growth and reduce nitrogen content when winter comes. It is an indoor juniper bonsai I’m refining. This video just tells me I’m in the right track of developing it. Thank you.
Great explanations. I watch allot of other people, but no one took the time to explain the why we do things. I was just copying them. Now I understand why.
What a great informative video - understanding the whys makes me actually remember all the details without getting lost. I’m glad I’m watching it now as I just got a mini pre-bonsai of a Japanese juniper that I’ll try and make a mame forest/landscape out of
Sooo... I watched about 15 to 20 videos about bonsai trees and none of them give me as much information as this video... how in the hell does this video not have more views???? This just saved me 3 more hours of searching 😩 😫.. I'm a beginner and all the other videos got me thinking 🤔 I need to return this thing... its way too complicated, and all the tools I'm gonna need its just too much.. but this video got me exited about the tree and how to take care of it...

Great video.. I got a bonsai for Xmas this year and instantly loved it but I know nothing about it. I have watched many videos and this one by far is the best diy video out there thanks again mate 👍
I just bought my first bonsai from Lowes... I really enjoyed watching your video and learning the different techniques that worked. Ty for being open & giving different options. 😊 Awesome video!! I wish I knew 2 buy from the nursery first... 🤪🤪
Hey man I really want to thank you and appreciate the time and effort that you put into this video very informative and I check it out from time to time to make sure that I am doing the correct things needed for my Bonsai's to be healthy and thriving. Keep it up bro
thank you!!! very thorough explanation. i was contemplating cutting my newly bought juniper but now ill leave it to flourish and grow to thicken up even if it might not be my desired shape atm. maybe repotting it into a larger training pot
The soil we use here for development is corse river sand with 20 - 30 % fly ash and pine bark. But that is just what works In our environment and what's available to us. The less corse the soil is the better for development, the more corse the soil is the better it is for refinement.
dude you're awesome! thank you so much for this informational video. You answered all the questions I had and the ones I didn't know I had. Amazing. tthank!!!~
If your just starting out you can use any 6 month slow release pellet that is available to you. As you get a little more advanced and try to get the tree to do exactly what you want it too then you will need to be a little more picky about what you use and when you use it.
Very helpful video. I purchased my first Bonsai and I'm a bit apprehensive about it but I have been a farmer so I'm hoping my green thumb will work with this.
Huh, I've had mine inside on my windowsill since I got it a couple years ago. I rotate it every couple days so both sides get sun. I also have a sun room, that I move it to sometimes, and it gets cooler in the Winter but without the blizzards. The wind and blizzards would likely destroy my little tree I would think. (Maybe 8" tall) We got over 2 feet of snow a couple times this Winter and the wind blow the siding off my garage. Maybe it'll go dormant in my sun room. Hmm.
Thank you for your great work! So many videos about bonsais out there, but yours is the most detailed one and explains things so well! I have a question and I would be very thankful if you can answer. I have a 10yo bonsai and it's a third year i am owning it. It was growing just fine on my patio (i lived in foggy parts of San Francisco), but since i moved into the apartment without patio, my bobsai is not doing well anymore. My dilemma is should I give it away before it dies? Or is there any hope for this bonsai to survive on the windowsill (south-west window) and the window is open most of the time, so it can get some straight sunlight. The tree is getting brown brunches close to base. We are misting it and watering, but i am not sure if it gets enough of what it needs.
If I ever get a group together to watch UA-cam drink and prune trees I'm playing a game. Everytime this guy days HERE. You say HERE and take a shot. LoL

Where do you recommend getting one? It’ll be my first bonsai
I'd suggest doing a quick Google search for a Bonsai Nursery in your area. You will get a better quality tree.
Idk if we have any around here
Maybe try Facebook market place and see if anyone is selling anything nice.

Wow very nice so informative. I think all beginners should watch this. You guys should do the same video but with tropical trees.
Useful and clear, thanks very much
Glad it was helpful!
Live near the equator and your video has helped a ton...thanks man!
Thank you for your great work! So many videos about bonsais out there, but yours is the most detailed one and explains things so well!
I have a question and I would be very thankful if you can answer. I have a 10yo bonsai and it's a third year i am owning it. It was growing just fine on my patio (i lived in foggy parts of San Francisco), but since i moved into the apartment without patio, my bobsai is not doing well anymore. My dilemma is should I give it away before it dies? Or is there any hope for this bonsai to survive on the windowsill (south-west window) and the window is open most of the time, so it can get some straight sunlight. The tree is getting brown brunches close to base. We are misting it and watering, but i am not sure if it gets enough of what it needs.
Thanks very informational and straight forward
Very informative.. thanks a ton.
