- Why do I prune my saplings differently to my older Bonsai? Understanding what stage your tree has reached makes effective pruning decisions SImple. Using FIVE Japanese Larch at DIFFERENT developmental stages I explain how I get the MOST from my trees 😊

Super informative and nice demo. I really love your larch compositions - very delicate and individualistic. Looks like hard work on the eyes searching for buds - especially with the number of trees you have. What a labour of love!
Very true about bud hunting - takes a long time :)
Great video xav, your "2larch 1pot" is beautiful 😍
Thanks Dan
The king of Larches 🌳💪🏻
The king of something... Cheers Darren
😂👍 Lord of Larches would sound nice too
@@oachkatzlsmum I like that :)
So much great info here! Thanks for all the tips!
Thanks for making me feel so great Dave
Great lesson xav love it mate 👊👊

I do like the Larch 👍
They are a great species and keep me very busy
My favourite species, the colour when they start new growth is spectacular, I like the two trees together Xav a good in depth pruning exercise will prove useful, I have mine to prune later this week so will be looking closely for branches that are not needed. The large group of three looks really good after pruning my friend, a lot of the time with larch I tend to pull the new excess foliage off instead of cutting not sure it matters either way. All the best my friend, all we need now is some decent weather or this summer is going to pass us by wondering we’re winter ended and summer started.
I fear we may not get much sun until September :(
Nicely structured video... and trees.
Thanks Andrew
Great timing - I just took all the thick branches on my larch taking them basically back to new growth. Disclaimer: they were nursery stock last year so only first year in development and I didn't want anything thick near the top yet. I had zero fear that it won't be the right move for the future but still nice to see you doing big cuts on yours now too.
They are such strong trees for this sort of pruning. Glad to hear you are on the same wavelength :)
Another great tutorial Xav, always learn things from them 👍
I appreciate the support. It makes this much more fun :)
Lovely job
Thanks Raymond
Very pleasant video Xavier. Very informative 👍🏼
I like the word 'pleasant' - it is one level up from 'bearable'. Cheers :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat 🤣🤣🤣🤣
great video xav. need to get my self some larch
You do indeed :)
So beautiful to watch 😍 Love your trees. They influenced my decision not to give up on larches. As you know, I did not had much luck with them (2 up to now 😅), nevertheless my little future Ent came back to life, thanks to your support, and sprouts out heavily meanwhile. 👍 Maybe treat him like your 3 year olds and sort out some of the branches that develop from same place? 😄 Thanks Xavier ❤ Bet lost by the way 😘 Enjoy your day 🙏 Cheers 🙋♀️ Martina
Thanks you as always Martina - now I need to go and find out what the bet was again :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat26:45 you bet you'ld bore with an other video 😂 Never have been bored by your videos 😂😘
Excellent! I do have a question though. Most of the forests I in nature have the trees all going straight up, but we don't have larch here do they grow to the side a little bit like that?
Truthfully...probably not. Most of ours all grow straight up as well.
Hello ❤
Great to see you :)
When would you start pruning your larches after a major repot?
It depends on how well they respond and push out shoots. This is really about observation rather than a strict timeline. I have had freshly repotted larch push out loads of growth...so i have pruned them back. Others have sulked all year and I have waited until the following spring :)
First 💪
Great seeing you here :)
Is that a 5kg bag of BioGold? Someone’s doing alright! 😂
When I win the lottery, I won’t tell no one but there will be signs 🤣🤣🤣
You know about my fertiliser regime - that was purchased 18 months ago!!!
It takes three months earnings to replace those bags :)
