    In a simple and polite way, in all these years he has spread the art of bonsai. Even if every now and then someone will disagree on some choices made on some elaborations, in the end there remains a great informative and educational commitment that places him at the top of the world. Thank you Master😊

      I also think it's ok to learn a lot from a person and not agree 100% of the time. I think people are too worried about seeing the world in a very black and white way. In many ways bonsai is more art then science. There are some general principals for sure, but it's ok to have preferences and differences of opinion. That is how the hobby develops overtime.

      @@Stettafire Yes, I agree with you. Bonsai is art, and even if there are rules to be respected, art is the basis on which Bonsai stands.

    Nice video, don't know how I missed this one, I am working on a juniper right now with a really nice natural S in the trunk and beautiful red bark once I cleaned it off. now the cleaning of rubbish branches are gone the real decisions start, it's such a nice tree that was neglected at a nursery and giving to me free, I don't want to mess it up.

    I wish I could find plants like that in nurseries in Australia, everything in our nurseries is straight up and down, super expensive and mostly for the basic mom n pop conservative gardener. It's almost impossible to find these plants with some sort of trunk size here, they are nearly always spindly thin trunks. We have to buy them as a small straight up down bush and then start from scratch every single time.

    In your experience, is there any tree species that is more sensitive to being handled, touched, disturbed?

    • @peterchan3100
      @peterchan3100 Рік тому +2

      Depends what you want to do with them. Deciduous trees are usually more difficult to wire and bend than conifers. Some trees break easily like the Jade. You just have to adapt and go with the flow.

    by cutting off a lot of branches, is there a danger of reverting to juvenile foliage

    • @peterchan3100
      @peterchan3100 Рік тому +2

      Over potting usually stimulates excessive growth and juvenile foliage. Keep the tree pot bound and the adult foliage will develop.

    • @jonawolf8023
      @jonawolf8023 Рік тому +1

      Depends on the growth rate. For me the easyst way is check the tree regularly and if the wire starts to mark the bark remove it. In some case the wireing must be repeated.
