Lovely white pine. But I agree. Time for a bit of wire. This will also help with the backbudding as more sun comes in!
Thanks Jelle. Totally right and although i could wire it out now I am very aware that I want conditions to be absolutely optimum as this was a very sick tree. My primary goal tyhis year is a repot into a muchh nicer ceramic. Hope all is well :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat All well my friend. I would consider wiring either late summer, IF you can keep it out of frost. Else, early spring. Funnily.. You know I do long-term videos: I am making one on restoring a japanese white pine, and many of the issues in your vid, I have discussed in the first part of mine too :). We need to do an in-person video weekend I think.
@@GrowingBonsai That sounds an interesting idea - this pine has definitely had its problems...and I have alos lost 2 nursery age ones. Let me know if you have any specific idea. Cheers
easier to trim with no need than to show restraint when there is great need. your pines look great. one of these days i will have to send in photos to see if i can get an appearance in your subscriber photos. love that acacia and i will be sure to give aussie bonsai bloke some semblance of kind-hearted grief for the name
Sounds like a plan to me :)
What a great idea with the subscribers corner. ! Think i may send some of my trees in. Great video
I look forward to seeing them. It was an idea that I picked up from Jay of Bluejay Bonsai. There are so many better enthusiasts in the real world and it is great seeing that :)
Great video xav!! Your white pine is looking smashing,thanks for showcasing my picture and giving my channel a plug
I need to add a channel link at the bottom of the description - I forgot to do that for some reason.
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat lol no worries.
Awesome video Xav
Hope you’re well
Can’t wait to see the future of this pine and see where you take it👍🏻
Cheers. Thankfully - the design is fairly set already. My main aim will be to get it back into its original pot and rewire the branch placement.
Excellent show Xavier!!
Thanks Marysol - I'm just getting sorted to do the rewire and repot in another weeks time. That will atke me all day i should think.
Hey Xavier - cant help but notice your hard work is paying off with views and subs. Well done!
Thanks Paul - I think people started to feel sorry for me and subbed for the sympathy vote :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat no no no! There is good reason for the up tick mate!
That camera angle on the bench is an excellent change 😊
Thanks Andy - I am definitely recognising that it makes a big difference when people can get a rest from seeing my face :)
😂 no the wide one with you sat on the bench, camera looking down the garden.
Great information on the white pine Xavier!
Thank you - this tree and I have definitely had our ups and downs :)
Great video Xavier.
Really good info maté unfortunately it doesn’t make me any the less scared of pines 😂😂👍👍
I know where you are coming from Andy - you should see what I did to my Scots Pine yesterday!
Some great information there Xav. Sometimes bonsai is rather about not doing anything, rather than beein eager and hack it down too much. My JWP was repotted last spring and I have doing no pruning since. This year it was flowering on every bud. Now, the new growth is very small and I think I will leave it another year. Maybe just a few cuts in the top, but thats it. Love the pics from subscribers. I may take that one up in the future.there 🙂👍
That sounds like a great idea. About the only thing I might recommend is wiring it out in the autumn?
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat wiring was done last year. Actually, I think you joined the premiere on that vid.🙂👍
@@greenmachinesweden Oops - too many different channels to remember what Ive seen :)
Ok that drumroll was even worse than Tonys first attempt a while ago🤣
Thank you - I thought so too, as I debated whether to keep it in the edit :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat I'm glad you did😂👍
Getting way better at the close up Xav really enjoyed this one even tho i dont have a white pine i did tho pick up a new larch today from the national koi show 😊
Sounds great - I pruned 8 old larch yesterday - gets a bit tedious :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat lol yeh it does 😊
Learned so much about pines in this video. 👍😍 For sure I will have to watch it a second and third time (at least!) to get all your messages right 😂 Thank you so much giving this important lecture to brush up our knowledge on how to treat our trees best. 🙏 Amazing seeing my own trees in Xavier’s Bonsai Retreat 🤩😘 I should definitely work on a proper setting, when taking photographs . 😬🫣 All the best. 🙏 Cheers, 🙋♀️ Martina
I am really happy that you feel that way - I am always a little uncertain about videos where i really dont do anything. When I started the filming I intended to do quite a bit of pruning...and then I actually looked at what the tree was telling me :()
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat I loved that you didn’t prune, because the tree told you so. I know it’s not easy. Congratulations my friend.
Great info Xavier, and much needed because pines are still something of an alien species to me.
Now how are you on Japanese black pine?
I don't have nay. All I know with these is you can potentially get a second flush if conditions are good. Needle pluck where you wat backbudding. But there are so many good videos on this subjeect - I shall say no more :)
I realy like these!
So do I - I am so glad this one has recovered from a terrible root issue.
Thanks for the info Xavier will send you a picture of my white pine I am scared to touch it lol it looks healthy but
As you heard - I didnt touch mine for nearly 10 years. I look forward to seeing what you have.
I love white pines in fact all pines
I am starting to get better with them. I spent all yesterday on a scots pine project involving 'appearances' from Adam and Tony. An interesting result but fingers crossed :)
👍👌🙂
thanks Bruce
