Ophiopogon Japonicus: How to Cover Your Garden for LESS Money
Просмотров 250Год назад
I love Ophiopogon Japonicus. Why? Because It never grows higher than a couple of inches... even in summer. But there's a catch. You see, a tiny pot of Ophiopogon Japonicus will cost upwards of £8. And for £8... you'll only cover a couple of inches. Yikes! The good news is... you can cover your garden with Ophiopogon Japonicus - without breaking the bank. In fact, you'll only need to buy one pot...

It covers 25% of the Japanese landscape. It's one of the fastest growing trees I know. Plus its timber is some of the most highly-prized in Japan. And yet...

A lot of people ask me, "how do I prune my Japanese maple - in a Japanese style?" This is a great question... Because the Japanese approach to maple pruning is very different from the Western way of pruning.

When Japanese Gardening Pros prune their maple trees they take a radically different approach to most Western gardeners. This approach is the reason why traditional Japanese maples look wildly different from those you see in most gardens in the UK, Europe, or America. And it's this approach that creates the beautiful layered effect you might be familiar with. If you've ever wanted to re-create ...

Thanks great video. Just one thing - box blight is caused by a fungus not a caterpillar which is why it thrives in damp conditions.
thank you so much, i couldnt find any explanation until yours
Awesome! Researching on this for years and just decided to make it my next project. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great video, thanks! Can i plant the divided plants directly into the soil, or do i need to put them in a pot first? Do you keep the pots in a greenhouse?
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. Nice diagrams. Do you know if this can be done with other type of conifer or just in general other kind of trees?
Thanks a lot... i been looking for this information for almost 3 years and its so nice to finally found it thanks to you... I been working on the cold mountains of Mexico where I have my home and property and I been trying to replicate this technique on my oak trees (and some pine trees and fraxinus) with interesting results but with your method everything will be better now. Thanks a lot again 🎉❤
Mee too brother...🇮🇳
Can it be planted in any soil or climate?
Mountain mostly
Hi, great videos, thank you. Can you tell me if there are any online nurseries that supply this species as I can't find any :(
Explained very well informative and effective, thanks very much
Lovely channel❤ loved the content, very informative
Thanks that was best video ive found. Not too long and clear
Can it would be possible with pinus roxbergii?
I have just sat through all your videos. I would be called a horticulturalist and ever learning bonsai, Niwaki and Japanese style gardening. I have to say your videos are brilliant. I look forward to a new one... its well over due!
Thank you for a crisp and clear explanation
Very clear, thank you so much.
Can you do daisugi with other trees and not cedar trees?
If you can do coppicing with them probably you can do daisugi
I am need tools
I am need tools
Excellent technique! 🏝 Are you sure that the pruning needs to be done in spring rather than in winter or fall as normal? Also, can you get this tree, Japanese red wood, in the UK?
How large would you let the base of the tree grow if you wanted to use this method for growing lumber?
It's impossible
Looks like a great way to grow transplants as well.
Very useful for a beginner like me. Thanks 👍
I’m glad you found it useful.
Omg thank you so much for your extremely valuable, very detailed and eaisly understandable video for a question that i scoured through numerous videos for what seemed like endless hours of information that i was not looking for. I am 100% sure youre goal was not to make Jay's day but i can assure you that i am elated that i finally found your video. I actually created a new save folder just for informational material (not just for botany) that i plan to use in the future that was inspired by this video. You may think i sound overly gracious for a video you may have thought was no big deal but i would bet my last dollar that when i read the comments there will be others who have looked at many videos orior to this and are happy to have found this one. Maybe not a his happy, but happy nonetheless. Thank you again.
As I suspected and I predict more positive comments from weary and relieved people who didn't want to know how much wood they have. One more time, thank you so very much.
What time of year do you make the first big cut?
Spring.
Finally, an actual explanation
Yes! Been trying to figure out how it's actually done. All I've seen are pictures of the technique before.
Wow... Thank you for sharing.
I’ve got a black pine that I want to sculpt. I’ve watched your video and makes sense only I’m not sure what to do with existing candles - I don’t want to kill it as it’s the only sampling that survived. Could you advise?
💚
Thanks for that easly rich explanation. IF that Daisugi technically can be happening with other kind of trees Kind like Paulownia tree
This is the best explanation of Niwaki for japanese maples. Thank you!
Ive just brought a Japanese red pine to do this with,and it was alread planted at this angle. Great stuff keep it coming.
Hello where can I find more information on the Daisugi technique? Will it work for norway maple, silver birch, various pines, spruce and juniper? - Kind regards from Northern EU :)
Same here! I'd love to try this technique! I wonder if you could do this on oak trees, it's worth a try!
Www.google.com
Think this... if the species are able for do coppicing then you can make daisugi with them
Interesting!
Thanks for making this clear cut and simple for us!
Thank you
Thank you for showing this technique in such detail!
conifers cannot be coppiced but they can still be pollarded sustainably
cool! it sounds similar to the old Medieval practices of coppicing and pollarding.
I hope you enjoyed this video. Let me know if you have any of these tool!
I like how you illustrate this, very different to other videos describing japanese maple pruning. Do you know much about how they prune to create courtyard and narrow tea gardens. What i’ve noticed is thin trunks with canopy starting higher. I cant find much information on this style but am hoping to create something similar in my side garden thats 3x10m
Thank you Craig. I'm happy to be corrected but I'm pretty certain the images you have seen will show what appear to be thin stemmed, small leaved maples with lower branches removed for "access" but providing a wonderful canopy and shade from sunlight. The most important thing here is selecting the right cultivar of acer and on this point you're in luck! The majority of these gardens use the species acer palmatum sometimes referred to as mountain maple as they have the small leaves you desire, and a rather upright habit. (They are the easiest to grow from seed, often used as root stock in the west and the cheapest to purchase as a result!) The pruning style is still identical to that in the video above with a few 'tweeks'. The trunk you will want to remain reasonably straight for the first metre or so as you don't have the space for it to wind around your courtyard. The lower branches will be removed to raise the canopy. After that though, the process is the same - once again you aim for horizontal growth to develop that "canopy" effect, and remove the symmetry to provide that Japanese style. If I were you, given this cultivar's hardiness and relatively low cost I'd buy 3 or 4, start them in pots in the position you think you want them and have a go! (This cultivar can be a metre tall within 3/4 years from seed!) Remember in Japanese Gardens it's the process that is more important than the finished garden, being able 10 years from now to look on your tea garden, at your beautiful maple and be reminded of every cut you made, and how it's direction and shape was the work of nature and your creative mind in harmony is the real joy. Enjoy, and let me know how you get on!
@@rojigardening Thanks for the detailed reply. Thats exactly what I’ve been thinking. A complicating factor is that I’m in Melbourne and the site is in full sun during the summer. I’ve planned to plant 2 Oklahoma redbuds and a magnolia soulangea to provide extra sun protection then plant some small standard palmatums around them to eventually replace the shorter lived redbuds. My thinking is that it will also create a woodland style competition for light and encourage upwards growth, which can be walked through down the winding path.
Love your content! Thanks for the explanations!
Thank you! Glad you like them, let me know if there is a particularly pressing issue or question you have and will see what I can do to help!
