Our new fertilization regime and results in our Tucker Oak
How do we move away from over reliance on chemical pesticides in bonsai? In search of a better, more holistic, and healthful response to pests and diseases, we turned to tissue testing and plant-specific fertilization.
For the past 12 months, our soils and plant tissues have been tested regularly to identify nutritional imbalances that can signal the presence or effects of pest species and/or the early stages of disease. We have used these test results to guide us as we apply plant-derived amendments to the bonsai container that provide specific nutrients shown in tests to be out of balance. This “preventative medicine” approach supports the plant’s health, improves its ability to photosy...

"Bonsai is beyond beautiful; bonsai is a way to spread love throughout the world. Bonsai absorb the energy that the artist puts into the living tree and in return, that energy emanates from it, radiating a love that draws you in." -Tony Fajarillo, Board Member of Pacific Bonsai Museum. Today is the first day of our spring fundraiser and we have a big goal of raising $30,000 to support the care ...

A question came up recently about the style of our Cork Bark Japanese Black Pine. We called it a 'slanting' style, but a viewer thought it was semi-cascade. Here, Aarin shows a Chinese Elm bonsai and explains how he differentiates a couple of different bonsai styles.

Catlin Elm Forest Repotting in honor of Melba Tucker
the website mentioned in the video have no information about the experiment
Hello, I knew Kai Kawahara and did a workshop or two with Kai. This is a great story to preserve. However, some facts might be slightly off. There was the "Senior Bonsai Club" in Denver, and the "Junior Bonsai Club" as you have said. But there were some American who spoke Japanese who also joined the Senior Club. I believe that Bob Kruger was one of them. Kai's family is still in the area.
How wonderful that you knew Kai! We hosted a gathering a few years ago and Kai's grandson came to visit. Thank you for correcting and amending the story for us. There are so many pieces of the puzzle to pull together when it comes to bonsai history. So little has been recorded. We are always grateful when someone can help us fill in the full picture. 🙏
Thank you for sharing. I wish I could find more videos of bonsai history as it began in America
Glad to know you are interested. We are considering a new series of videos on American bonsai history through a review of selected books in our large collection donated to our library over the years. Would that be of interest to you?
Keep posting more videos
Show👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice to see you adding videos to RUclips
Wow. Amazing tree. Cool technique. That power saw got thru that quick! And again, amazing tree. Great work!
Thanks! Perhaps it should have been a more obvious video edit, but the sawing section of the video was sped up because it was a bit boring. ;)
@@pacificbonsaimuseum ha! And I thought it was the sharpest quickest lil saw blade on earth
That trimming with the small roots that was removed, will you or can you reuse it for a new bonsai? Love this content!
Thanks! Unfortunately, that removed section of roots would not be aesthetically valuable, and even if it were, buds would be very unlikely to sprout from it.
Thank you for the very informative video of repotting a JBP. Tell me what would do you use to make your chopsticks
Hi Aarin, thanks for the video! I have two questions. It looks like you use galvanized steel for tie down wire. If so, what gauge? For the bamboo tie downs, do you do this for every tree, or only ones with wide/shallow root systems?
Just watched one of your other videos where there was a very brief shot of the wire used. It is 17 gauge galvanized steel fence wire. Interestinging, I noticed that you seem to use aluminum wire for the drainage tie downs, which I found interesting.
Yes, we use RedBrand 17 gauge galvanized "electric fence" wire that comes in a 1/4 mile spool. You can see an image of it in our recent Cork Bark Pine repotting video.
The way you sharpen that blade was dangerous. Let the wheel turn away from the edge of the blade.
nice video and tree !! But the noise was terrible in the background though.
Sorry about that! We were recording right next to a freeway. 🚗 🚘 🚙
At the end when you tilted the tree you can clearly see its a semi cascade it needs to go in a larger deeper pot round .so that the tree can be correctly styled .
Thanks for bringing that up. We will post a short here soon explaining why this isn't a semi-cascade (and we'll show one that is) 👍
❤❤❤❤ Great One Day I visite Thats My Dream ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Need some updates on this please.
Thanks for asking! This tree has recovered and is healthy and that one limb is alive and doing fine. It will, however, forever be a weak branch that we will have to keep an eye on and be careful with when handling. But for now, all is well. We will post a current photo on our Instagram today for you :) instagram.com/pacificbonsaimuseum
I really like your assistant. He is on point
Wow what a tree. The size, trunk, nebari, the branch thickness, the taper up to the apex, the vigorous growth, the bark, the movement, its shape. This tree is frickin amazing. Such a good species to bonsai
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Helo❤❤
Stunning, just stunning
That is awesome
Wowwww Beautiful
How old is this Bonsai?
The tree’s date of origin is 1945. It’s been in training as a bonsai since 1969.
Nice job Aaron!
Thank you for sharing how to pruning bonsai
Nicely done. Bravo
Very ,very beautiful elm forrest! 🕉
Tuyệt vời❤
Thank sharing bonsai friend
Feels as if you took an old masterpiece and painted over it. I would have preferred you kept her masterpiece.
❤ ❤
You did not show us how to place the trees on the slab. This was the most important part.
sorry! will try to show the whole process in the future
Very beautiful forest! 🕉
Very cool
Thanks for taking the time to provide this content!
Okay so if the soil is the problem why not just use water to get all of it out??
Wow Wonderful Bonsai ~ Thank you for good sharing LIKE 7 My friend, have a good relationship 😊
Would this work on Colorado blue spruce as well?
Yes, that’s the refinement method for all spruce because they all share a similar growth habit pinching new growth in the spring stimulates budding the next year and then allows you to cut back to it the second year, but that’s only if you’re in refinement stage not development
@pacificbonsaimuseum thank you. I have no club or anyone around me. I learned everything I know you all you guys on RUclips, and I really appreciate it.
@@jameswalker3416 Well, then we will try to keep them coming! Is there anything in particular you would like to learn more about, at this time, or are curious to see? We take content requests :)
@pacificbonsaimuseum bug prevention would be nice. I've been fighting japanese beetles and anfids in the spring.
we're taking a new approach to pest and disease issues involving "preventative medicine" with soil/tissue testing and tailored nutrition. More to come on that in 2024! @@jameswalker3416
So...Basically, this should only be done to maples that are much further in development and not ones are still growing out or trunk/branch building stage correct? Thank you.
that's correct!
Looks amazing
I'm late to this party but I wanted to say thank you for preserving this exhibit and sharing it online. I wish I could have seen it in person... but I didn't know that this museum existed until I saw it on a Seattle events calendar today. My husband and I will be visiting you as soon as our schedule permits, though. This was such a beautiful, moving and poignant collection of stories and art, and it moved me to tears more than once. I hope to see in person the tree so lovingly watched over on it's journey from San Francisco in the back of a pickup truck. May you all be blessed, as you have blessed us with your vivid, moving stories and the lovingkindness that maintains these dynamic works of art. Thank you!
Oh WOW! Thank you for finding this / us and sharing your response. We appreciate people like you so much and look forward to welcoming you for a visit.
How did you get it to grow like that? Is there a special treatment or did you tend to it as a regular bonsai? I live in Hawaii and we have a Rapid Ohia Death fungus going around and I think it would be great to do to get them revitalized?
hi-- this tree is tended as a tropical bonsai in our collection.
Very nice 👍
Very nice Also good team work 🎉❤❤
Thank you! Our volunteers & staff make a dream-team.
I can tell this is not Uk 🇬🇧 as it is not raining 🌧️ lol 😂 coat on coat off coat on coat off as we say lol
😂 stay dry!
Stunning tree! 😃👍
Very respectful, mindful, expert work on the Catlin Elm Forest. You have truly honored the memory of Melba Tucker. Thank you.
roughly how old is the 'Domoto Maple"? It is my favorite bonsai at the museum. I'm lucky enough to live only 15mins from the PBM and visit often.
As beautiful as it now is, IMHO, this can no longer be considered one of Melba's compositions.
What species is this?
