Bonsaify | Potting a Large Black Pine to Start a Niwaki
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 фев 2022
- Eric takes the largest two-year-old Japanese Black Pine he's ever grown and starts it on its way to becoming a Niwaki. Niwaki are landscape size trees, like a bonsai but in the ground.
00:00:22 Eric discusses why he likes Anderson flats. They have a mesh bottom like a pond basket, but a solid side.
00:01:00 Eric plans to use a foundation spike to help hold the tree in place in the flat.
00:02:06 After finishing securing the foundation spike in the flat, Eric discusses the strategy of using the spike instead of wrapping the trunk in wire to bend it.
00:03:17 Eric discusses how the scale of curves in the trunk relate to the overall scale of the plant. Lots of movement in the bottom vertical foot of a 9' tree will not make a good niwaki.
00:04:23 Eric adds a small board to stabilize the flat further, then discusses how to add the tree to the apparatus.
00:05:13 Description of the attachment of the tree to the spike and how the growth of the tree will further the design over time.
00:06:13 Eric discusses how to splay out the roots in the flat to help start the nebari.
00:06:50 Eric reviews the ideas and the entire process with the tree secured and soil added.
00:07:59 Eric discusses the re-establishing of the roots and how the tree will probably grow slower for a while.

Aussie Dave here Eric, I love your enthusiasm and engineering on different ways to get movement in large trunks 🤔🤗🤗👍😉.
😂 I think a large wire would have been easier, but then it would still need to be stabilized in the container!🤦♂️
@@Bonsaify maybe but I think you have done a wonderful job 😃😃👍👍
Anderson flat, rootmaker and all the others i dont know, we all know the bonsai pots and bonsai soil but i would realy love if you would make a video on the training pots you master growers use or dont use
I've used the large colanders (up to 22" diameter) and they worked fine, except they disintegrate after a couple years in the sun. No pot will make your nebari perfect - but the right pot is a good tool toward that end. I'll put it on my list of topics, thanks for the comment.
Awesome video!
That is the fastest start of a literati I've ever seen!
Great work..👏
Thanks for the video see ya in the next one
Please keep us updated on this project 👍🏼
I was wondering what you were going to do with that thing! should be nice in a year or two.
Great channel and awesome content! I also grow Jbp from seed and recently did some major root pruning on 6 old pines with large sacrifice branches with one or two whorls. I was a bit nervous about the amount of roots cut and the amount of foliage left on. But looking at your video it is similar to what I did. Could you explain some more about the balance between root pruning and foliage mass? When will it become dangerous for the tree?
Generalizations are not great in terms of that question - for young JBP (e.g. under 6-7 years old) aggressive root work is usually fine, but it will slow the tree down. Reducing the foliage won't generally help in my experience. For other trees it's a different story altogether, but generally I do not reduce foliage to match the reduction in roots as this is a generalization and oversimplification of the metabolic processes in trees. (E.g. a juniper can have a lot of roots cut off (like 90%) with no foliage reduction and not skip a beat (again depending on age) while an evergreen oak like Q. agrifolia can benefit from defoliation to reduce stress from transplanting (a technique often used when collecting wild ones.)
Where can I Get Anderson flats? Can definitely use them for fattening tree trunks!!!
Hi There, if you are in the US, they are available from Growers Nursery Supply:
www.growers-inc.com/17-deep-prop-flat-10-cs/
They're made in Oregon, and the Anderson Tool and Die company is a bit old school.
Cheers,
Eric
@@Bonsaify Veilen danke. I’m in Bloomington Indiana. Friends with Yannik Keegan
what soil is you think is best for black pine? 🙏🏼
No one soil is appropriate to all trees and situations. For young pines we use 80% perlite and 20% coco, for older pines we use 1:1:1 Akadama:Lava:Pumice. This is due to different costs and different goals for trees that are young versus trees that are older.
Bom dia, Flor do dia!
You could also make it into a medium or large size bonsai!
Or even Penjing.
