    Hi bjorn, can you do a video series about how to prune different types of pines? I mean, black pine, sylvestris, mugo, white, etc. Because all the types are different between them and how to prune them and how they grow then it's very interesting. Nice videos !!

    Great video! Thanks. I'm just starting to get into the pines more and have both red, white and black pines. It's great to have videos like this that are clear, concise but also actually tells us when to do certain things to our trees. One of my biggest moans about bonsai videos is that they can show us all the things to do but not when we should do them. I've been a fan of your work on You Tube since the start.

    If you have a long needle single flush pine though, preforming this at this time of year will cause the needles to get longer...like with jap white pine, limber pine and other 5 needle pines. On those, you wanna wait till the sheathes of the new candles on drying up and falling off.

    Very good details on a very good example (pinus sylvestris is my favorite pine, we have a lot of them in france), good job as usual 👍😉
    In France, this is currently the good moment to practice this technic 👌 Personally, I only pinch candles with my fingers, it avoids cutting needles with scissors, I think it's cleaner.

    Thanks, I needed this one for future purposes. My pinus is only a small one and I don't know if I'm able to travel and collect it this spring, but hopefully next year the latest. It's only a young sapling of maybe 4-5 yrs, living at my parents' property up in Finnish Lapland, so I already have the permission to collect it. Long way ahead for that size!

    Well done Bjorn on showing/explaining the technique so succinctly however, could you please also clarify: 1. What the main objective is using this technique 2. How did you prepare the tree for this procedure in terms of feeding routine and 3. How you will feed the tree after the procedure.
    Many thanks.

    Bjorn, I have been following your channel for a few weeks and all I can say is thanks for all the information you share here. I recently acquired a 2-3 year old Japanese black pine thunderhead that I want to turn into a niwaki for our new home being built right now. Do you think in the near future you could do a video just like this one, but with a black pine? All the into I have found on most websites suggest to de-candle everything, but I have not seen one like yours that explain the best way to balance the tree.

    @LarsDragonbeard 4 роки тому +2

    Thank you for making these videos Bjorn. I'm currently building up a scots pine that started as a whip a few years ago.
    I was wondering how I should perform this procedure with regards to the sacrifice branch as well as the small branches that I'm maintaining to be the branches of the tree as it enters a more mature stage.
    Can I prune the candles of those smaller branches while leaving the candles of the sacrifice branch untouched, or do I risk the tree shedding the small branches that I want to keep?
    My main goal is to keep the small branches from getting leggy...

    Great video Bjorn! Super didactic, as usual. Have two questions for you: 1. would this same technique (in terms of approach and timing) work for Goyomatsu? 2. Does the technique apply identically over the entire tree or rather some modification is done in lower vs upper brunches? Thanks!

      petiyo101 I would like to put it like this... think of the letter W if you cut the middle piece, you would cause the others to grow better creating a V that’s how you get better ramification.

      one reason could be that it was growing on the inside of a curve in the trunk; the almost triangle shape of the foliage centered to the left of the trunk looks good now that that branch is gone. he had to have made a video about it since you see him do it for a second.

    With this power in the candels (more than 3cm), you can make mekiri in may/june like with thunbergii(but without a second flush, of course) without problem. If you made It soon, the tree will make big buds for next season. If you made it late(sometimes, if the tree is extremely powerfull, you can make it in late august or soon september), the tree will make little buds even in the inside of the branches. Anyway, the tree should be very good fertilized and powerfull for make MEKIRI.
    I'm sorry for my poor english skills.

    @Eisei-en Bonsai So if I understand this correctly: If We continue to do this candle pinching/cutting technique, this means that the branches will continue to grow and ramify all the time? What if I don't want something to continue to grow in one area of the branch? Do I cut the candle altogether ? Doesn't that kill the whole branch?
