    Björn,
    Thank you for that excellent clarification and explanation. I’m new to Bonsai and I hear the big guys toss these names around left and right and it did not make sense to me until now. A breakthrough moment for my little brain in the learning of Bonsai process.

    VERY informative. I have several junipers, 2 that were supposedly Shimpaku, a Hinoki, and others, and I've been wanting to know more about the Shimpaku since I am trying to figure out how to start training.
    Thanks for this, subbed.

  • @lukasmihara
    @lukasmihara 4 года назад +3

    Very interesting. I got myself a Chinese juniper a few months ago and I wondered what it's called in Japanese, because it's one of the "normal" Chinese junipers you get here in the West, not one of those Itoigawa-type ones, which seem to be called _shinpaku_ as you also said here in the video. The Japanese Wikipedia says _ibuki_ or _byakushin_ for example, but you said there's also _toshô_ which seems to be a Juniperus rigida and it's also called _nezu,_ _nezumisan,_ _muro_ or _moronoki._ So I'm still not really sure what these standard Chinese junipers with needles are supposed to be called in Japanese, but I definitely learned a bit more about the word _shinpaku._ Thanks for the nice lesson!

    This video would have invited an awesome opportunity to show us all the progression of the shohin styled itoigawa you wired and did shari on in a previous video. Alas, love the videos, please keep them coming. I actually purchased one of your itoigawa whips after seeing said previous video, and plan to implement your process here in Central Arkansas with it, as far as wiring and net potting it to start. The process and your explanation of things make things easy to follow, will definitely have to make a trip to the nursery in the future post rona... cheers 🍻

    Very similar to how Tempura really = Tenpura (eg: Tendon, 天丼). 🍤🍚😋
    But, what about San Jose juniper? It’s a Chinensis, but where is it really from... China or California? Is it considered a shimpaku too?

    A few questions. You say that the Rocky Mountain Yamadori are ethically collected? Do they replant when they harvest Yamadori? I see in your video at least three mountain areas denuded of Yamadori. Why don't you do videos of deciduous and small Bonsai? I think I have been able to root some Chickasaw Plumbs I will know in the Spring.

    I recently bought a 20-25yr old “Shimpaku Juniper” from my local bonsai nursery. But I wasn’t able to get a specific name for it. After seeing this video, I know I now don’t have the specific name of what I have. Can anyone help me identify it??

  • @peterjohnson3654
    @peterjohnson3654 4 года назад +1

    Would it be possible to replant location specific shimpaku in the Japanese mountains to start replenishment of the mountainsides for the future. It seems a shame for nature to lose them due to recollection.

    • @mikiohirata9627
      @mikiohirata9627 3 года назад

      Plants have been spreading to wide areas waaaaaaayyyyy before people settled
      anywhere. But academically (and genetically now) they have been determined that
      they were originated in certain area therefore it becomes a genus.
      And Mr. Young it's Shin Paku, not Simpaku.

    Hi from Vicki first time viewer here. I have a very old Bonsai left to me by my mother plus a few others. Sad to say I did not realize it was Bonsai please forgive me! I changed it out from original pot because it had grown so large. I am going to work on it and return it to an appropriate pottery pot. Would it be possible to send picture of it could you help me identify it?
