8:56 these scale are very similar to some I've seen in the US. last year I picked a bunch off of a niwaki weeping cherry that was in decline and this year In addition to manual monitoring I released some predatory ladybugs in the area. These are one possible biocontrol method I read about for scale, but I'm not sure if it would work well in Japanese nursery settings where spraying different chemicals (like for the aphid issues you reported) is such a common method.
That's great advice for anyone who doesn't want to be spraying chemicals. Tough to have no say in how things are done here but I'll keep doing it as I'm told.
Super work! As a deciduous specialist this was of great interest, the comments about partial defoliation of Acer and choosing to remove the upward facing leaf of the pair was particularly valuable detail. Thank you.
Thanks for this amazingly informative video mate! Your explanations are so easy to understand and your sharing of knowledge is awesome. Love your work in Australia!
This is such nice feedback! Thank you. I think many concepts in bonsai are simple at their core; and with visual example, not too much needs to be said.
Hi, I found your channel via mutual Facebook friend. Your profile popped up as friends suggestion and tap it. I’m from Japan but I’ve never grown Binsai.
Really good content and some excellently detailed tips that you don’t normally get from YT (in both videos, watched your second one first). I have watched hundreds of Bonsai videos and you are doing something a little different here that I believe will be appreciated by many. While it’s good that you want feedback and suggestions, I’d suggest you don’t move too far from your core reasoning/purpose behind your decision to shoot video in the first place. Your (video) techniques will improve with time but your core principle is golden.
Wow! Thank you so much, glad to hear this. The recording style is born out of necessity, but the purpose will always be to improve my own understanding by sharing teachable moments.
Fantastic video! Thank you for sharing this information. One minor video production related suggestion - The line effect in the intro is a little distracting from the images of the incredible trees. I think if you just left your logo in the intro with the trees in the background it would have a better effect.
I would love to see a video on pruning leaf maintenance on shishigashera and kotohime. If you have a chance I feel there is not any In depth videos on maintaining these verities.
I am working to purchase a nice shishigashira and kotohime for this... We had some present in the garden, but we're sold before I could record the seasonal maintenance.
@@BonsaiHarmony no problem and I understand I’m sure y’all will get more in the future. I admire your passion for bonsai. Keep up the great work and the I appreciate your videos on your weekly task there at the nursery.
Thanks for sharing! The momiji on which you did the partial defoliation work looked like a Mikawa trait tree. Can you share the history on it? Was this grown as a cutting or air layer, or grafted?

The dedication to the health and care of these trees is rewarded by the most beautiful flowering display. Thanks for this excellent video.
I'll will post a short of the 2023 flowering 🙂
Great video! I am really happy you decided to start you RUclips channel!

The first one? That's just good old Yama momiji. Likely done with the low graft technique many years ago.
Canadian Bjorn or Bjorn 2.0 ?
