- Eric demonstrates how he cuts back kishu Juniper branches to maintain a small silhouette. He's had this tree for about 15 years, and it's been through multiple stylings. Eric takes his time to analyze before making any major design decisions.
We just posted an article about this tree, if you want to see photos of it from over the years: Too Straight for a Juniper Bonsai? www.bonsaify.com/blogs/phutu-...

Excellent video Eric!
Super helpful. Love the tiny Jinn you've got on the tree. That level of detail is the last 10% that makes the tree special
Thanks Matt! It's been a really nice tree to care for.
Found your channel a few days ago. Go thrue a few clips man I love your work.
Calvin - thanks so much, having fun with these trees for sure.
Good info. Looking forward to followup videos on it. Really like the pot you selected.
Thanks for the info
Good job friend. Very beautiful bonsai
absolutely gorgeous tree - very inspirational. i’m new to bonsai so i’m scared to try junipers but hope to someday have a formal upright such as this. they’re one of my favorite styles. thanks!
Awesome , keep it coming with the information.
It’s such a beautiful tree
Really interresting!
good explanation. i thought i lost some kishu branches completely after wiring and repotting mine in late spring, but after cutting off the dead foliage, buds started popping from the crotches.
Very Beautifull bonsai
This video answered my main question, what’s the best way to get growth/bushing closer to the trunk, growth suitable for a future Mame? I just received a handful of Kishu from you which are very nicely done and vigorous. I’ll leave the runners to beef up the trunk, but wire and twist them out of the way to let more sun in and hopefully I’ll see some back budding next summer. At that time take some of the runners off and focus on incorporating new growth into the overall design.
Great tree
Thank you for the great explanation! Beautiful tree I'm a big Shohin and Mame fan! I'll leave you a subscription! Greetings Henryk
Thanks!
Good
such a good video, what's the difference with itoigawa that you talked about?
Itoigawa is a slightly finer foliage, but more finicky in NorCal climate. It also shows nutrient deficiencies more readily and will revert to juvenile growth if cut back too hard. We'll be doing another video on Itoigawa, Kishu and Shimpaku soon!
Mr Eric, how old that tree ?.
The tree look old but small it's wonderful.
Age is a funny thing. This was nursery stock that was probably 5-8 years old when I got it. I've had it for about 17 years, so the age is about 22-25 years and it's been in my training for 17 of those. I'm glad you like it, it is one of my favorite trees from my personal collection.
Waw.. So amazing tree Mr Eric.thankyou very much for the answered.
What will Itogawa do in terms of back budding? Vs shimpaku or kishu
I find it tends to back-bud at branch junctions when vigorous. When it's weaker it can be problematic...but the same is true of Kishu and Shimpaku. Just lots of sun, fertilizer and water and they should respond well.
Will cutting off that much foliage create juvenile foliage, or do these not have that problem?
Kishu can make juvenile, but they don't do it easily. Itoigawa is much more prone to it.
Hi, please explain to me what is is the material of the pot for this beaut tree. Thanks. Loris from Italy
Hi Loris, the pot is ceramic (stoneware) I made it using a commercial clay from Laguna called "Sandstone Buff".
@@Bonsaify thank you for the quick reply. Do you believe a pot can be suitable in wood. Best compliments for your bonsai besides useful explanations.
I like wooden boxes for trees, they can be quite nice when care is taken to make them look good.
You can check @imager993 on Instagram to see some wooden bonsai pots:

Ultimately, I think people shy away from wood as a "pot" because it is not durable like ceramics. But, this is a practical concern - you could make a beautiful pot out of wood for sure.
