    I bought two Blue point Junipers, which seem to be very similar to the blaws at a very discount price. I looked all over for a way to style it, but didn't have any luck. I started trimming them and removed the lower branches just to get started. Unfortunately, I hadn't seen this video first where you make a big point about keeping the lower branches to thicken the trunk. Oh well. That's the way bonsai goes. So I guess what I have to do now is wire the branches down and leave them for a couple of years and see what happens. Thank you Peter for all your wonderful teaching.

    • @pansepot1490
      @pansepot1490 3 года назад +1

      You can leave the wire on until it begins to mark the bark. As the branch grows and thickens the wire will begin to “cut in” and if you don’t remove it timely it will leave an ugly scar. Not possible to tell a fix length of time. It depends on how fast the branch grows. It can be anything from a few months to a couple of years. Just check your trees every few weeks in the growing season. You can unwind a small portion to better see what’s going on beneath. Sometimes the wire doesn’t seem very tight yet there’s already a mark forming. A small scar will disappear with time but if it’s deep it won’t.
      After you have removed the wire you can subsequently apply new wire to keep the branches in shape if they are not set to your satisfaction. Good luck! 👍

    Why does your material look so bad? The foliage needed thinning out so it would be getting good light. Because you didn't do this you have weak foliage. And this is what you call refined? No, this is still very early development. You have a lot to learn. I know you bought the few trees you are known for. But come on, this is not refinement of a tree. Even a beginner knows that.
