Bailley got a friend! Congrats buddy!
Hi Andrew..how many times do u defoliate you're trident bonsai in a season?great content👍
I depends on the trees energy but usually twice
@@rakuyobonsai 👍
I discovered this method for myself when defoliating my field maples this year, it saved hours!
It's a good time saver!
Short and precise… thank you Andrew! Love your dogs too 🎉
My pleasure, and thanks! They're great garden companions
Nice bonsai....👍👍👍
Thanks!
I wish I could attend!! It sounds like it’ll be amazing! Keep up the great work, Andrew
Hope to see you at a future expo!
👍
🙏
👍
🙏
Hi Andrew, I’m in zone 9B in Northern California, I got leaf scorch the past few weeks because the prolonged heat on my Japanese Maples so I’ll try the overhead watering you describe, thanks and keep up the good work👍🏻
Good luck!
Hey Andrew, same timeline window for collecting air layers right?
Yes, and the earlier the better!
There's a wisteria tree in the backyard here in Connecticut that is intertwined with the fence. Last time I looked at it, it had seedpods. I've never seen one as a potted plant before since I mostly focus on orchid growing. I wonder how often something like this has to be repotted.
I repot mine every 2-4 years
Thank you. Very useful information.
You are welcome!
TLC wants to release a new song with you no stubs
I'd take those 430 million views!
lovin the channel andrew.. what time of year do you treat big wounds? how many times a year do you reactivate the wound? thanks
Mid to late summer, and just once a year
Crisp, relevant information 👍🏻
Thanks for tuning in!
Would you use the same procedure on a trumpet vine. I have a flat of scraggly 3 year old vines that need to be tightened up.
Yes absolutely, it's good for any compound leaf plant
Great information. When would be the latest time in the growing season to apply this technique?
See our video here, it applies to this as well: ruclips.net/video/mZtUIUxWVoc/видео.html
What a cool tree, thanks, a really good video!!
Thanks!
love the channel, great video
Thanks for following along, happy to hear!
Hi Andrew - how are you fixing them into the ground? Are they cemented? How deep do you go for having a stable pedestal? Thanks for sharing some insights. Greetings from Switzerland !
They're sunk in 2-3 feet into the ground with concrete
Clever design and i like the rusty effect.
Thanks, we embrace the rust!
Thanks for the video. Never knew this about final pruning 8ish weeks out before leaf drop. Thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
How long did it take to get that thick?
This tree is about 30 years old
@@rakuyobonsaispectacular
I would love to have own display like yours one day, for now I just use my trusty milk crates and steel mesh
This was a long time coming for me too, hope you can build a nice display in the future too!
Excellent Thanks!
You're welcome!
Any thoughts on drainage and rust mitigation?
We embrace the rust, and with the plates on top no water gets inside
oh yes. secret of shaolin poles
Secrets revealed!
Awesome advice! Thank you.
You're welcome!
I appreciate you representing deciduous bonsai. I live in colorado and my entire bonsai collection has been from native nursery stock gathered over the years.
Awesome, happy to do it! We need more aspen bonsai!
Belo exemplar ❤
Obrigado!
Hi Andrew..wander if you can help me..I was watching u do a seminar on golden state bonsai and you said u fed using biogold through liquid feed..what is the ratio per gram of fertilizer u use to make up the feed...really enjoying the content and ur way of teaching us easy in the ears😂👍
I use mostly miracle gro now and microdose a little each time every time I water
Hey Andrew, when should we reactivate wounds? I've noticed my cut putty has "cracked" on cuts made in spring, indicating that i've got some nice healing going on. Is this the time to reactivate the wounds, or should i wait till spring again?
I usually do it once a year, and always start it in the middle of the growing seasons
Great video Andrew! Can't wait to see what awards this tree will win in a couple years.
Time to get back to work and make that happen!
Amazing in just 5 years. I do agree that sumo trees, with short branches and triangle canopy looks unnatural.
Thanks!
Thanks Andrew, great video and tree! Would you ever consider making a multi branch apex on the tree, spreading the crown a little wider, going even more on the natural style?!!
I don't think that would be the best thing for the more traditional trunk on this one, but we will be building the crown a bit wider and getting it as natural as we can
@@rakuyobonsai Thanks, it's a great looking tree!!!
Great video, thank you, how often and when should you reactivate the wound?
As many times as needed about once a year until it closes
@@rakuyobonsai Thank you :-)
Excellent Andrew, I may be coming from the uk 🙏🏽 just trying to get the ball rolling
Amazing!
Excellent Andrew, I may be coming from the uk 🙏🏽 just trying to get the ball rolling
That's great, I'm hearing we'll have some great international attendance this year!
Very nice tree and information! Can't wait to get my own trident.
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video, and nice little guest star popping in there.
He loves being where the action is!
great tree, excellent work
Thanks!
What percentage shade net are you using for the summer to protect your trees?
50%
Thanks for that information Andrew...can you please spell the cut paste in English please?
Kirikuchi it’s a green liquid. It’s available on Bonsai Tonight’s website.

Very informative. Did not fully know all your points on wound healing on deciduous trees. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful
How/where do you buy a chunky maple? Do you just have to be “in it”
Yeah going to as many vendor areas helps, we'll have some great material for sale at the Pacific Bonsai Expo later this year!
You can buy lots of them on Bonsai Plaza.
Excellent video and information Andrew, thank you. Have you ever used the self adhesive aluminium foil for healing wounds?
I never use foil
looks great. I've noticed the callus on my kotohime chops doesn't stop moving through the growing season.
Nice
What a hilarious and informative video, love it! 😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing video !! Quick question, at 1:16 why are these branches defoliated in this manner ? (leaving only the tips) . Im really curious :)
It was to push more energy into the elongation and hence thicken the branches faster
I'm so glad to see you back! Thanks for the new video!
Thanks, making more videos as time allows
