Early spring

@@ShayanGivehchian yes, early spring is best.

@@ShayanGivehchian it really depends on the tree when it comes to back budding. Some trees respond better than others, but the general rule is to clip back the leggy branches down to the next node. Try to do this when the plant is in its growing period and that varies depending on your location.

@@susanbossert6833 thank you so much! Happy to share.

@@LuisNava-w5e it's best to leave it outside and make sure it gets some sunlight. The temperatures don't fluctuate enough indoors for a juniper regardless if you have a heater or not. Junipers need the cold to go dormant. Keeping it warm would be forcing it to stay awake when it's trying to sleep. Like Nolan said in the video, if someone is continuously keeping him awake when he's trying to sleep, it's not gonna go well. We just posted another winter juniper care video a week or two ago. It's episode eleven of our Bonsai For Beginners series.

@@TalkingLoon thank you! If you see other ideas for the trees in our videos, please share. We want everyone to be able to share their designs and ideas as there isn't a "right" way to approach a tree.

@@The1superrussell not entirely sure if it was cut or damaged by something else. But it does look like an old scar.

@@MrBradezell what went wrong with the last one?

@@AsiaPacificGarden I’m not exactly sure. I styled and wired it but did not repot as I had planned to let it recover and repot in the winter. However, it died 2 months after I styled it possibly from theOklahoma heat combined with not watering enough I dont know.

@@MrBradezell the heat would definitely affect it. You kept it outside, right? Temperatures hit 115 here last summer and we watered our spruce collection probably 4-5 times per day. Remember, if you have the right soil and drainage, you will have zero issues with over-watering.

@@AsiaPacificGardenyeah that had to be what did it. Will try again soon thank you!

@@rolandbalog339 thank you!

@@annissa485 the fearlessness takes time and you'll get there! Remember, Robert has been doing this for 45 years!

@@TheBigred2500 I wouldn't recommend keeping it indoors still. While keeping the window open may sound enough, your internal heating still warms up the back half of the juniper. Junipers can grow in the shade perfectly fine. We have ones that are grown and displayed under a large tree that shades it the entire time. There are also junipers that are grown in southern California and as long as you source it from where it's grown, you won't have a problem with lows only going to 45. We have bonsai friends who grow junipers in LA and while the tree doesn't turn brown like the ones here in the PNW during winter time, they are still dormant.

You are paying customer?

@@gregwatkiss8973 Hi there, we've never received any emails from you. If you have additional questions, please email bonsai@asiapacificgarden.com We try to answer every question we see on our RUclips channel, but we don't always get notified of comments. We've responded to your question on RUclips about junipers last week so we apologize if there was another one that got missed.

ironic how you said that alot of people recieve them as a christmas gift ;)

@@wooe_1597 sounds like you got a tree or gifted a tree for Christmas. Hope our channel helps!

@@tinekejoldersma we see so many of these trees come in when the big box stores stock them. Often times, by the time the customer brings it in to us, it's been damaged because of poor air circulation, root rot, and/or underwater. It doesn't help when the directions from the stores tell you to water it lightly once a week :/

@@tracymunro6161 the smaller leaves were probably grafts that didn't survive. When those die back, it back buds from the original trunk, which sounds like it's a Ficus Retusa if it has big leaves.

@@joseponce6542 you can remove the dead needles, but just make sure you're not pruning ones that are just dormant. The dormant needles will wake up and turn green again in the spring.

@@joseponce6542 thank you so much! Robert is definitely a pretty brilliant person.

@@GustavoHCosta if it's at subzero temperatures where everything is frozen, no need to add more water. If it's above freezing, just ensure your soil isn't dry. Keep in mind, wind dries out the soil just as fast.

@@SoulUnspoken if it's sourced from that same area, then it's perfectly fine and we are 100% sure that there are juniper suppliers that are in Southern California. You would still have to grow this plant outdoors because it needs the temperature fluctuations. For example, right now, San Diego has a high of 72f and a low of 42f. Junipers need this type of temperature change. If you had kept it indoors, your indoor temperature is probably at a constant 70f, which would make that a tropical climate.

@@SoulUnspoken and not all of our junipers turn super brown. If it's been under shade, it stays relatively green. Some trees also turn browner than others as each tree has its own personality.

@@The1superrussell yes, but you can cut down to just once a month.

@AsiaPacificGarden thanks

Thank you! Wanted to add a bit more entertainment to the educational info.

@@gregwatkiss8973 it depends on what the temperature of your indoor workshop is. I wouldn't recommend working in a workshop where the room temperature is 70F/21C. Too much warmth can pull the tree out of its dormant phase. And of course, try to minimize the time it spends in your workshop.

@@AsiaPacificGarden Thank you for the advice. At the moment our temperatures are low at 3-5c during the day but I tend to leave my workshop outside door open in the day to let my dog come and go as like to spend a lot of his time outside in our garden. So the the room tends to be cool at most times. It is possibly not a good idea to start on a tree just now as we are having heavy frosts and some snow is forecast in the next few days. Would you say that I should wait until it becomes milder?

@@1020J we've experienced temperatures as low as 15F before and our junipers were fine. It really depends on where you're at and how long the subzero temperature stays for. I would recommend looking for a bonsai club in your area and see what they do in your climate. Remember, each climate can vary drastically. Just because one method works in one area, doesn't mean it should be applied to another area.
