Thanks this was helpful! Growing out a coastal banksia and it's doing very well in the summer heat. Seemed to be fine with heavy root work, fortunately. Previously killed one so we'll see 😅

Hi Scott, great video, could you please tell me what your drainage layer is? thanks

Excellent as always Scott

Fantastic kick off, and I'm glad you took the 1 week off. So much information, and grateful for your commitment 👍

Thank you for your efforts, I really look forward to the weekly podcast. I have learnt so much.

Looking forward to 2025 episodes, thanks Scott

Great tree but the music is annoying and couldn't hear a word

Be nice to know which cultivar is this. Seems like varieties of BC have grown

Thanks for 2024 podcasts they have been very helpful . HNY Scott

All the best man. So much appreciation for you and your work

Are we sure this is an Ericifolia? They typically don't have tough looking bark like that, they're one of the very soft papery varieties. Additionally they usually have much shorter leaves than the ones on this.

Thanks, really helpful😃😃

Excellent info, thanks Scott

Hey Scott, Nice work on the pod. Im busy too at the moment and its hot as F.... here. My natives are pushing hard! Merry Xmas mate

Very cool. Very very cool.

Is this type of maintenance done in the summer, spring, fall, or winter?

Thanks so much

Wish my early days had someone explain the initial design process to me in that way. I got the more advanced branch here, branch here, shape it here - all the secondary decisions pushed on to me and the tree before the initial design startup work as you explained. Great episode Scott

G'day Scott, what time of year did you do this pruning? Looks like maybe January or February?

How about some video about Aaron’s place and activities ?

Hi, Post decandling ... I've noticed a yellowing of the needle (base/s). Think it could be due to over watering. Should one reduce watering slightly, after decandling, or significantly?

Thank you!

Thanks so much

What fungicide do you recommend/use? Thanks again for the great podcasts

Another spectacular native 😲 Is that banksia from yamadori?

What an amazing tree 😮 Will they back bud if you do major trunk chops on the bare branches?

This is brilliant. I cant believe there a so few likes and comments! I know you have been up north recently, but Redlands Bonsai Society (Brisbane) would love to have you visit, or combined on your next trip Northwards etc. Very grateful

Great explanation of de-candling and candle pruning. Thanks 😊

Thanks Scott

I like the Jin for the character it provides, although it does look a little heavy. Maybe you could potentially thin it out from the top back to trunk and torch it with fire and brush it with a steel brush to soften it a bit.

I have been listening to your podcast for the last few months. I was wondering how you were setting up the bags. Looks pretty simple. I just need to find some organic fertilizer pellets in my area (US - California). It’s Autumn here, so I’m rounding up my supplies for Spring and doing prep work.

Thanks again,

Hey Scott nice tree!! It looks heavy!!! How often to pot this one? I dont have any that big but my smaller ones every two years

I sometimes find a "dry" spot on the growing media directly below a tea bag ...am I not watering enough (for water to seep through the tea bag)?

Lol. "I don't like winswept bonsai." But you've used a picture of one for your podcast profile and your RUclips video wallpaper.

Nice to hear of your adventures, such a beautiful place WA.. lm going away soon and already am midsing my plants so l get it 😊

Such a clear explanation. I have encouraged other Japanese black pine owners to view this. Thank you

I tried to use an angle grinder to work some dead wood on a small tree but I had it spinning the wrong way round and it ripped off all but one branch. Years later it’s one of my favorites :)

Hey Scott, great podcast again. Where do you get your shade cloth in Melbourne from?

Great advice Scott, thanking you

Great tips thank you.. I wanted to ask. After deflation do you Keep the tree in the sun, or in the shade ?… and for how long would you do that for ?… to bring the new flush out. I’m doing it to a Japanese Maple. 🙏

Great video awesome looking tree Just subscribed 👊👊👊

Nice little tree you have there Scott 😅 something to strive for 👌

Thanks for the podcasts Scott! Hope you don't lose to many friends after this one.

This style of trees, in real life, has been a part of my life for 10 beautiful years. I live in Canada, in the province of Ontario. In the 1990s, my wife and I moved in the Georgian bay area. This is a part of our great lakes area where trees are constantly being battered by winds that get blown and pick up speeds over that area coming from the west. This area is at the tip of those lakes and for hundreds of years, those trees have been shaped by these conditions giving a breath taking, almost unreal shape of trees that look permanently frozen in that movement, even when the weather is calm. To say those trees, that landscape is a sight to be seen is an understatement. So I understand that having not lived in such an area makes you wonder how rediculous and unreal this shape is, but, as I discovered then, these wonders do exist. I love your podcast and I'm glad that you express your thoughts like you do. If you ever decide to come in my neck of the world, I would really enjoy showing this area to you. For the meantime, have a look at this link: shorturl.at/AdD7D

I have 1 windswept but cause l buggered it up firstly as a beginner and had no other option.... looks ok Thanks again

I think windswept and literati are the two most over used “styles”. When you can’t think of what else to do those two seem to be the “oh well” options. I think a lot of people focus too much on action forgetting that bonsai is 90% observation and 10% action. The action is important but it’s not what we do with our trees the majority of the time. Cheers man

Ants ... Cinnamon powder is a great "deterrent"!

Thanks Scott

Hey, why is it I'm getting this on a Sunday? 🤔😁😉😇.... Hello from Canada, going towards the cold as you are enviously going towards heat and good weather. Keep your ambitions going. I enjoy this.
