It took me years to understand how to deal with pine candles; like you say, I watched too many complicated videos. You really explain it well and keep it simple. Peter I hope you know how much you are appreciated.
Thanks again for all your wonderful videos ☺
Are you the same Sally Humphreys who used to come to my workshops?
i just love this guy. "I'm going to just cut this to prove a point."
“It’s not about the leggy growth. It’s about sending a message.”
I've been wondering all these years on how to trim my japanese black pine. I was afraid to cut the candles thus it doesn't develop dense and graceful foliage like I see in pictures. Thank you Peter for your gift of knowledge. The least I could do is give this video a like or thumb up. How I wish I could give more.
great video. Same concept applies whether in pot or in ground. I spent 19 years as a landscape maintenance contractor and I doubt that 2 percent of the other contractors had a clue on how to prune pines. Most would just use a hedge shear to hack back the mugo pines in landscapes to keep them in control. I cringed every time I saw that. Thank you for some great videos. I am trying to build my collection of potted native trees for my home now in retirement.
You are absolutely right! I have seen that too.
Im new to bonsai and you do everything with such grace i jus binged watched all your videos and im convinced imma master lol buy my first trees in about 2 months i cannot wait your new biggest fan you are amazing at wat u do
Oh that I had seen this before cutting back my large pinus this last month. I cut it quite harshly not knowing about bud back💔. I learned so much from you in this video. I will never make the same mistake again. I love bonsai as they are miniature gardens. I want all my maples and pines to look like large bonsai. Thank you for your help and teaching. You made this simple for me.
Thank you for the clear and concise knowledge, Peter!
This is how you create the pads. Thank you sir. That’s great information for a beginner pine lover
Who else got scared when he said "I believe I'm running out of time" 😲😯😮👌
Thank you for sharing the knowledgeable video. Found it much easier to understand coming from Peter. Cant wait to see more.
Loving the blue shirt! If this rain ever stops I'll hopefully get out on my pines over the weekend. Another great video!
So funny- just came from an American UA-camr making it SO complicated, then you strip it right back and remove all the flannel! Top work Master 👏
Thank You Master. I have Maples and Junipers. Now I feel better about Pine Bonsai 🙏
Thank you Peter! You are so correct. It can get really confusing when it comes to pines. This really simplified it for me.
Managed to pick up two of your books Bonsai Masterclass and The art of growing and keeping miniature trees here in the North west, they were at a charity shop waiting to be sent out to be turned into compost :o
Thanks for all the amazing work you do Peter.
This is very good info on how to deal with pine tree candles. All of those candles will become branches and make the tree bigger which you don’t want for a bonsai
Thanks Peter! Your videos are very informative. I learned a lot from you and applied it to my trees and videos. Cheers from LA!😀😀
This detailed instruction on Japanese Black Pine is not easy to find. Thank You ,again.
I was afraid of having a pine because of the "candle management". From what I have seen, this seemed very complicated. Thanks to your explanations it became more clear and logic and less esoteric. Thank you very much.
Thank you, I have a 2yr old Japanese black pine and I am letting the few candles it has go but after this year not sure what to do to encourage more branches. This has given me some direction.
Thank you for sharing. Nice and simple. Many videos are overly complicated.
Just here to recommend the eastern white pine, the native north american white pine is amazing, it gets a bad wrap for having "big needles" but from my experience shrink right up.
Peter I just love your videos it has helped me grow my babies stronger thanks so much for your help
My dude is one with the tree. Respect.
excellent video as gripping and select branches and candles of pine.
Good explanation and very useful on how to do maintenance of the scissor.
Thank you for sharing.
A greeting from barcelona👍😊
Thank you for your video,can you show how to make the shape of a trunk sometime please? And can a trunk be shaped when the tree is a few years old or just when it's a seedling?
Thank you for your knowledge, looking forward to visiting your nursery this year
Thanks again
Thanks for another informative video, I have mostly Alberta spruce but raising a lot of white pines from seeds, they are coming along great. Still working on the Bristlecone pines, I am taking my friends to Yosemite and to see the pines so I can get an idea what it's like since I have not been there in 30 years then we can plan a trip and make it happen, tribute to the oldest living things on earth.
Good luck with your white pine seedlings. I am so envious that you are going to see the Bristlecone Pines, This is on my Bucket list No.1
Always good explications .thank you
WD-40 is great for removing pitch and also lubricates your tools .
simple and straight forward, excellent
cooking oil is relay good at removing sticky substances, then the oil can be removed with normal washing up soap
Packed with good information,
Just a magnificent And Beautiful little Bonsai you have
May advice to clean the sap from pretty much everywhere is organic oil. It works well also with your hands. Just rub your hands with the oil, then wash it with soap and water. No need for expansive cleaning stuff. That works very efficiently, just try it for your self but be aware of the sharp cutting edges. :)
Glorious blue shirt! "If you do not deal with the candles, they become branches"
Love his shirt. All his shirts just seem to fit his personality
Wonderful content! I always look forward to seeing your new videos, Peter. Excited to meet you in person this fall!
Let me know when you are coming
Thanks so much!
Learned a lot again! Thanks!
As always I thank you for your knowledge Peter. Thank you for sharing!
You can also use normal cooking oil to get rid of sticky sap especiallyif you got it on you hands. The oil will dissolve the resin and you can wash it of with soap afterwards
Felix isopropyl alcohol works well too
I use turpentine. I live in a pinewood and I have to deal with resin droppings on my car.
@@pansepot1490 The fun thing is (real) turpentine is made of tree resin :D but i like to use oil on my hands because your skin gets realy dry and damaged when using strong solvents to clean them regularly
I use nitrile gloves, they are cheap and if you get the right size at ACE I can pick needles off with them on. I will try the cooking oil because they bleed a bit and it may take a long time to wear off naturally.
thanks for teaching, very helpfuel
really usefull tips ,,,,great job !!
Thank you from Morocco mister Peter !
Hello Peter: I like the first Bonsai Pine Tree very old. I think I will check my Books from Kimura and I think he talks about Candles and Flowers. Are the Flowers turn into pine cones? I have those and remove them as I see them. You are Awesome thanks for the lessons. And God Bless. Take Care. Greg from OHIO.
Thank you for making a video that goes to the crux of how to prune pines and create those beautiful pads. I still have one question about budding. Does leaving needles on a branch encourage or inhibit budding? I read one Japanese book that recommended removing most of previous years' needles but leaving a few a little ways down the branch. From my own experience, I haven't been able to figure out the relationship between needles and budding because by the time a bud comes out, I don't know if there used to be a needle there or not. What do you think?
thank you! i finally understand how to deal with my pine! many thanks!
So helpful, thank you!
I've done the same thing, but with pines that are planted in the ground, and stopping them from growing more than 15 feet tall (give or take) by getting a ladder and a pole saw with a hedge trimmer attachment (lopers on a pole would have been the wisest and less heavy choice if my boss had them, which he didn't...) to chop off all of the candles -__- We had probably ten pines to do that way on a single property.
Thank you, Mr Chan, for this great video! Could you please make a video about how to shape Austrian black pine?
Thank you. Very helpful
Thanks Peter, I always look forward to your videos. The art of bonsai isnt still well practiced in india..and pine bonsai is extremely rare here .
I find pine bonsai extremely fascinating, yet the process, confusing..I'm myself growing a beautiful pine since 4-5 yrs..
As every bonsai enthusiast knows, we grow any pre bonsai as tall as possible, for a thick trunk..
My question is, if we decandle the candles regularly, wont it hamper the height of the pine, and hence, the girth of the trunk?? Is the decandling process is applied early on, or only after a certain age?? THANKS
Could you please do a video like this on azaleas please.
Tremendously helpful, thank you!
Tip, use WD-40 and scotch brite or wire brush as soon as you are finished with the tool to help eliminate pitch buildup.
Can you take all of these techniques and use it on a pine in the yard to create like a big bonsai
🌴🌳🐨👍thanks for the much needed refresher info. Keith Australia
Would you make a video on Kusamono, please? : ) There's not much online.
When is the best time of year to prune a pine and wire it up? I’m trying to make my first bonsai and this little pine is full of limbs but has a beautiful base Thick and healthy. Its a Italian stone pine. Thanks for your time
Liking the new intro!
Great video Peter. Can I ask if you can cut black pines down if they get too leggy?
Yes you can
I like your shirt😆
What about the Bonsai?
THE BONSAI GOAT
Thank you from Canada. What does one do on a Mugo Pine that is four to five feet tall and spreading sideways? Can a thick branch be cut back right at ground level?
Which is the best season (or period) to decandles a Pinus Mugo Pine? Thanks a lot.
Thankyou! I have dwarf Mugo 💚
I.have a scots pine sapling the top is doing really well, I have left the candles to grow. Further down the trunk has grown loads of little shoots further down the trunk, when is the best time to remove them? Or should I just let it grow for now?
Don't remove the little shoots. Let them grow longer first and then cut in two years time
I use Ballistol Resin Remover on my garden tools, I've found it works a lot better than WD40.
Thanks for the tip
The resin of pine trees can be cleaned very easily with turpentine or similar solvents. No need for scraping. I know it because I live in a pinewood and the trees drop resin on my car. The important thing is to remove the resin before it gets old and hard.
you sure like to keep things tight! :)
I think conifers are more difficult than leafy trees to shape or?
I don't think so, but I depends on what you / artist is trying to accomplish. Also it come down to what you do more. Leafy will be harder for evergreen peeps and vice versa.
if you heat the blades up with a lighter the sap becomes very easy to wipe off with a rag when its hot
Ammonia strips right through the pitch before sharpening & oiling. I bet it saves time too.
The top/apex pad of one of my niwaki JBP is slightly graying 😨😰
Is that normal for the winter time??
Or, is it spider mites?
I sprayed it with horticultural mineral oil, just in case it’s spider mites.
It’s already been treated with systemic/imidacloprid last summer (as a preventative), so that discounts scales and other pests.
Thanks for this video I have noticed my pines are with this pest too. Can anybody tell me how to get rid of them please? Thanks
Hello sir I got someone to trim my huge pine tree and although it is raining now it has not sprouted at all. Please for some assistance as to what I can do
Not enough information, how long ago was it trimmed? How much was trimmed? What kind of pine? By sprout, are you asking about new growth? Is the tree still healthy? If your looking for bud back it will not likely start till the next growth season. More info please, and the community can help you!
So can I cut needles and candles?
what clippers are you using, brand?
Not much growth in the north of UK this year did my candles early, flowers have dried up.
Wondering when a 2nd feed is advised ?
End July is good for the second feed.
Hello! 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
Anyone know if Herons Bonsai's website delivers worldwide?
Sorry we are only able to ship within the EU.
@@HeronsBonsaiUK :( Thank you for the reply.
Sir how much for 3 yeas old white pine you sale let me know thank
My asian Chir Pine had new needles and candlea growing but now they're all turning brown.
"Hello. I bet you are wondering why I am wearing this shirt..."
Beaucoup plus simple c’est l’essence de térébenthine pour nettoyer la résine des pins
Denatured alcohol will take the sap off instantly. Don’t waste your time with WD 40
Mayonnaise will remove sap and not negatively affect the plants with the spray in your nursery.
When I’m in Britain next I’m stopping at this place
Please do.
I will, for you Peter
