What came after the lime sulphur on the black cotton swab?
Thank you so much; for me the BEST "pad-design"-video! I wished I could see more from you.
Today I (tried to) wired a few branches that were growing at weird angles on a Cornus florida in my landscape (just with some ordinary copper I had lying around). Can I leave them over winter? How long does it take for the branches to 'set'?
Keep an eye on them as we enter fall, branches will still be thickening until winter. You may begin to see some biting in early spring as the branches will thicken quickly once the leaves. Some of them may hold their positions if the wire is removed in early spring. If they still need adjustments at that time it's good to use guy wires you gently pull branches down.
Your videos are great but are you going to ever put out another one ?
The current circumstances have made it difficult, however I hope to do some more in the future. Anything you'd be interested in seeing?
You should keep going your stuff is really good. I am not just referring to the tress but how you video and tell the story.
Thank you so much. I hope to share more in the future. 🙂
Is there a second part to this please I would like to see it’s progress
I did put a short blurb about how I bought this tree on my Facebook and Instagram!
BANGING styling my dude.
Awesome video! Keep it up👍🏻
Thanks! You too!
Thanks Michael, great information
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! The momiji on which you did the partial defoliation work looked like a Mikawa trait tree. Can you share the history on it? Was this grown as a cutting or air layer, or grafted?
The first one? That's just good old Yama momiji. Likely done with the low graft technique many years ago.
Groundhog’s day! Love the loop 🔂 😂
I love the atypical structure on this bunjin momiji! Do you work on many Japanese maples at Fujikawa Kouka-en? 🙏🏽 🪴 🍁
There's never enough of them. This year we have about 5 big ones and a handful of smaller cheaper ones.
@@BonsaiHarmonyyou are right how we could stop being fascinated by japanese maples? There's something mystical inside their nature colors and leaf shapes ❤ 🌹 the most beautiful trees ever ❤
Bro…somehow this is my first time seeing your channel. Was just scrolling your IG and thinking, dude, he should be doing long form videos…have a YT search. Of course it already existed. So glad to find it…YT, you didn’t you recommended this already?! 😂❤ 🪴 🍁
Good god this is such phenomenal work.
Wow, thank you!
Well deserved👍
Besutiful work there Michael.
Thank you, Ray!
Your Master should be very proud of your Work . Please can we see this year growth of these beautiful Black Pine? I just found your Site.
I hope he is but I doubt it haha. Unfortunately this pine has sold abroad already.
@@BonsaiHarmony thanks for reply. Maybe it will return Home. Wish Our Dumb Government Open Our Borders on Trees from your country like Our Dumb people Borders. Us Americans People will pay for this stupid government move. Still love to get your Bonsai Trees
I detailed wired a huge shimpaku recently. It took about 20 hours. Good job to you.
Detail wire really takes time and patience. Would love to see your tree!
Wow the tree like at least 5x better after the trim and wire.
Thanks! Looks a bit bare but definitely set it on a good path,
This was so informative and valuable... Its great to see some real time processes!
Your videos are such a joy to watch! Your perspective is really valuable.. I hope you can keep updating.
Circumstances have prevented me from uploading more but I'll keep doing what I can when I can!
This video is full information I need. Thank so much. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, stunning tree! 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job on that one! Man that’s awesome!!
Thanks so much!

Thank you so much. I hope we can work together in the future 😊
nice illustration. thanks for sharing this
Hope it's helpful! Thank you!
Bellísimo 👋👋🌎🌹
I’m freaking out with the video and your work, nice explanation, humility and good vibrations around. I’m impress with the elegant specimen. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. We want more!! Arigato!
You're too kind! Got a busy summer ahead of me but I'll be working on more when I can. 😊 Thank you!
Outstanding 🏅 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! 🌞
The number of shirt changes tells you something about the level of effort and dedication.
Haha! Yes this was last summer so half the day is watering 😆
like a fresh new wardrobe!
What month do you recommend doing this thinning?
On a healthy tree. We pull the previous year's needles in fall, and reduce to 5-7 in anytime between spring and summer.
I would love to see a video on pruning leaf maintenance on shishigashera and kotohime. If you have a chance I feel there is not any In depth videos on maintaining these verities.
I am working to purchase a nice shishigashira and kotohime for this... We had some present in the garden, but we're sold before I could record the seasonal maintenance.
@@BonsaiHarmony no problem and I understand I’m sure y’all will get more in the future. I admire your passion for bonsai. Keep up the great work and the I appreciate your videos on your weekly task there at the nursery.
Thank you so much!
banger vid, goddamn!
Thank you!
Wow what a awesome result. Regards from switzerland!
Thank you!
Thanks!
Amazing I wanted to thank you for all the time you take to share your experience Much Respect Bill
Thanks so much! I'll continue to share as much as I can!
What is baton tape? Never heard of it before. Thanks
It's a vinyl tape used to strap down temporary structures like green houses. Perhaps more common in Japan, but available anywhere
Truly amazing work. Well done!
Yell at you for abusing plants 🤣🤣 Well done and so interesting! Will be neat to see it in a few years!
Full of advice thanks
Happy to share, thank you 😊
the wits to do this to such an amazing tree.. amazing job
Certainly wasn't a decision made lightly, had almost a year to think about it 😅
A brilliant little short and sums up how hard that life must be.
It's not so bad if you got a bit of gumption 💪
Just found your channel and all i can say is WOW. that is some incredible bending and I love the result. Well explained as well. Cheers
Happy to hear. 😊 Thank you!
🤩🤩
id love to see updates when you will remove the protection next months/year
It has been sold to a friend of my teacher. If it comes back around I'll surely do so.
Amazing transformation Michael! -Kale
Thanks Kale! 🙂🙂
Awesome to watch. Such a dramatic transformation. Looks wonderful my friend
Thanks Chris! ☺️
is it okay to do this on mid to late spring?
It can be, but juniper should be allowed to grow freely until summer at least to regain strength from winter dormancy.
@@BonsaiHarmony thanks for responding, love your analytical approach in describing things as you go!
