  • Do you know what die-back is? The slow drying up of a bonsai trunk after making bit cuts.?
    Die-back is a common topic in bonsai, particularly when it comes to extreme pruning. Will a maple die-back when trunk-chopped?
    The real question is, is it really die-back? Can you forecast how far a trunk will die-back? Or is it not die-back at all?

    Great information! I didn't really think about dieback before. I simply accepted it as that.

    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?

      Interesting topic. I seem to have an off-preference. My sensei always comments on bad matched between tree and pot!

      @@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.

    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?

    • @GrowingBonsai
      @GrowingBonsai  3 місяці тому

      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.
