  • I recently went to the Mammoth Bonsai Auction in Oakland and was able to pick up two new trees to work on! As always, I don't buy the very popular trees, but I buy the ones that I see potential in and bring them home to work on them. We'll work on the Prostrata Juniper today and the California Juniper next week!

    Very informative as always Milton. I really enjoy watching you take a tree that I think is nice and you always turn it into something much better. You have a great eye. When I’m analyzing a tree, I try to think of what you may see in it. I’ve gained so much knowledge from you. Thanks as always for the video and for all that you do!

    You don’t mess about do you Milton going away from the rule book which advises not to cut across the leaves or needles, I like your style, you are upsetting the old timers as you say you may give them a heart attack if they watch this video. You’re a lucky man being able to buy so good old trees.

    I agree about pot size. I have been accused of overpotting, but I would prefer a healthy tree to one suffering because I have not met the challenge of care. Unfortunately, there are other ways in which people make bonsai challenging==repotting only during a very narrow window of time, pinching rather than scissoring juniper foliage, etc. Probably the reason many newcomers do not stick with bonsai.

    Nice work on this tree. New pot for the root growth and the pruning will take off nicely in the style you want it to. Great buy from the auction. Excellent video.

    I love how you intuitively know to cut back to just structure and can see a tree go from a puffball with a great trunk into a tree that has story, age, wind and seasons of growth and death and a march of time.
    So many trees I see online and in books seem so full and grown in, yet your trees show a story of struggle. What attracts you to those types of feelings to show in your tree?

      It is the amalgamation of thousands of bonsai photo, calligraphy, paintings… I grew up in Asian culture. Now is the time to create an American style, which could be simple elegance like the heritage tree every city, and in our national forest…or hanging tree as we imagine in the wild wild west…
      Let us go for it.

    Beautiful specimen. I don't like the side of the tree you are showing us as much as the other side for the front. It's more dramatic to see the trunk and branches framed by the greenery.

    Hi Milton what a beautiful tree with the way you clip the foliage will they brown up and if so how do you deal with that

    • @MiltonChang-ee6rq
      @MiltonChang-ee6rq 5 месяцев назад +1

      Only the tips where you cut will brown. New growth soon covers the brown tips.
