Great video Harry. You should consider making a video covering deciduous apex creation. Also I have to say I REALLY appreciate the closed captioning provided here. It helps me being hard of hearing quite a bit unlike other video pages like mirai live ect.
nice one Harry, this is the first time I've seen mention in a video of a Turkey Oak and I have one myself on it's second growing season and the leaves are massive. I will use that technique and see if it reduces, thanks for the info
Hi Harry great useful video. I think I have been making a big mistake with my beech trees. I have been cutting the extensions off as they appear where as it looks like you let them all grow, harden off & then you take them off. Am I wrong to take the extensions off as I go? Thanks Harry
Yes.....you can remove some leaves that are within the silhouette of the final design, but outside of that leave as many leaves as possible to maximise the thickening
Hello Harry, appreciate all the informative videos. I have a Texas Cedar Elm tree with nice flaky peeling bark. I accidentally brushed some of this off near the base when trying to clean algae with a toothbrush. In the future I will only use algae cleaner product and not a brush so as to not damage the bark. Is there any hope of this bark regenerating over time, even if it takes years? If so, is there any way to speed up the process? Thank you!
You can do that Brian, but are left with brown edges to the leaf that are better removed once the tree has returned into leaf (as you do with a straight cut leaf)
Harry Harrington sorry I didn’t ask my question very well. I just wasn’t sure if there was a better/preferred method-is cutting the leaves better or is removing 50% better?

fantastic garden 👏👏👏
Good stuff Harry 👌
Dear God, is there a harder flex than doing partial defoliation with Ryuga RS shears? Well done man!
Merci pour les infos ! Super vidéo encore !
2:11 - Wisdom shared. Thank you!
First 15 or so second walk through as backyard ... WOW. Inspiration 14.7/10

Great vid 👍 can I follow the same procedure for my Deshojo maple?
Can't wait to see some hawthorn bonsai videos.
Most interesting !!! Thank you so much !!
Great video👍 thank you
Is it possible to make partial defoliation annually? If the tree is healthy, of course.
Yes definitely

Allowing some extensions, even if it’s just for 2-3 weeks increases the vigour of the tree ahead of (partial) defoliation ;)
Thanks for the vid.
Great one. What about a defoliation on hawthorns?
Yep, same as described here. I would avoid defoliating flowering spurs (rosettes of leaves in non-extending growth)
Harry Harrington Thanks a lot.
Do you make partial defoliation on those branches that you want to thicken (and at the same time start developing secondary branching)?
Yes.....you can remove some leaves that are within the silhouette of the final design, but outside of that leave as many leaves as possible to maximise the thickening

Can this be done on an apple bonsai?
Harry why didn't Paul cut the leaves to look like a leaf, the straight cut looked odd?
You can do that Brian, but are left with brown edges to the leaf that are better removed once the tree has returned into leaf (as you do with a straight cut leaf)
@@bonsai4me2 thanks.
With oaks, do you ever cut the large leaves in half? Or do you simply remove the largest 50% of the foliage?
Samuel Nekvasil it’s pretty much fully explained in the video? Including cutting the leaves in half?
