@@GrowingBonsai My future is to cut back some crab apples prone to die back in mid-summer -I want to promote back-budding. That way, when I transition them from ground to pot, I'll have lower branches to successfully prune back to.
I love that you think about these things. I also love the pot on the cherry air layer with the dieback. Can you do a video on your favourite pots one day?
Hey Jelle, I have an off-topic question: So I have two pine trees. A Pinus pentapylla and a Pinus densiflora. I want to style them while removing a few branches from the trunk. My question is, at what time of the year can I cut these branches?
I think my first bonsai might have a little die back on the trunk who I bought it from cut on of the trunk because it grew really low branch that looked like a trunk and it has very unstable roots in that area and overall not very stable roots I think it’s not though
Winter die-back is another story. It is hard to tell when a tree is stressed when it is in dormancy. I don't scratch test daily, but sometimes damage can occur overnight, even though I bury trees in pebble wood mulch, or put into a cold frame. Curly Willow suffers winter die-back often, even on the main leader. Any tips?
Willow can be tricky. I do not grow them myself. What I understand of willow (And Birch can do the same) is that a lack of light (Already in the season before) can weaken main branches. And cause them to die off and the tree will focus on the stronger side-branches. This is a group that is just willing to sacrifice large woody parts unlike most trees.
Geweldige vid, bedankt voor alle tijd en energie die je erin stopt. Its a great help 😊
Great information! I didn't really think about dieback before. I simply accepted it as that.
THANK YOU!!! I'm just learning. Extremely helpful! Love your stuff😊
Dry back and die back.
Well explained!
:) Nice, thanks!
A really interesting and engaging video. I love these, thank you!
Glad you like them! It is a bit dificult to judge sometimes what people will like :)

Best explanation of die-back! Really cemented my past observations. Now I can plan for the future.
Great to hear! What is in the future?

Interesting topic. I seem to have an off-preference. My sensei always comments on bad matched between tree and pot!
Excellent video, clarified so much
