Brilliant Jelle. I am just about to do a wedge cut on one of my thicker pines and it was good to just get a refresher on some technical aspects of the Scots pine. Thanks
Thanks so much for this video, Jelle ....& all the other videos too! I have a similar tree [30 years + old] to work on this spring so this has been so useful.
It may not be a "typical" bonsai, but it has a very interesting shape. And some great techniques to take notes on! Thank you for another valuable lesson.
Makes me worried that my mugo pine has a fungal infection. It's more on the tips of the needles though, they're turning brown on old needles. Does that sound like a fungal infection? Beautiful end result btw, looking forward to seeing it next year. Big healthy candles, should recover just fine
@@GrowingBonsai My other guess was overwatering as well, it's very root bound so it's likely the roots aren't getting as much air as they should. Thanks Jelle.
Hi Jelle, I have mugo pines with Dothistroma fungus, all needles from this year affected in the last 2 weeks. Half of the needles (at the stem) are still green, new buds for next year forming. I can't remove the affected needles as this would be certain death, until new needle open next spring. Is it ok to use some systemic fungicide until then? Are pines and micoriza ok if I use systemics on them? Any advice you might have? :)
Bit of a challenge to answer, as we do not get proper fungicides here. However.. It depends a lot on whether the fungicidi is targeted or not. The mycchoriza are a very different group than the ones in the needles.
The number of long term videos you seem to be preparing in parallel is really impressive!
A update about this pine would be lovely ☺️
Beautiful! Really fascinating following your thoughts process and operations! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Think you made great job, looks promising 😊
Thank you! 😊

Instead of a wedge cut, consider hollowing out the area you want to bend.
@@GrowingBonsai I've defintely seen hat appraoch applied a few times and overall it seems ot be the better option for the tree. Thanks
Your videos are informative and to the point Jelle thank you for another great video.
Glad you like them!

Enjoy working on that! Must be a blast to work!
Great jobb jelle!! Looks amazing!!
Tank you so much!

So nice of you. Lets see how it develops from here!
Such great work! I have two similar projects to come. So this is very inspirational for me. Thanks Jelle! 💚
I aim to please! So you're very welcome!
Hahaha, that was the best intro to a video yet!
:)
Very nice! You did a few things that would terrify me to do Hahaha!
:) In the end it helps if you have seen it before, and tried it a few times yourself!
Great video as always !!!
Appreciate that!
I got a pine upright/cascade that I trimmed scalped the trunk a little... Pine tar on wounds...
and.. Did that stop it?
You don’t need the top of the tree 😎Dennis
Maybe not. I could have gone for a very small tree too. But in this case, I liked the top :)
I have the same problem with my Pine, did it worked completely after on time removing? Thanks :)

Tips f needles going brown/yellow more likely have something linked to the roots. Wet, over fertilized? Hard to tell from a distance!
