Great quick video on such an important topic of bonsai cultivation! Give those pups and extra pet for us!! 🙏🪴🍁 Would love to see another garden tour with your trees fully leafed out!
Thank you for this video! That is a very impressive maple. I was wondering if you work with Amur maples at all? It’s hard to find good examples of this species in bonsai culture online and I’d like to know if we should pinch the new growth like we do with Acer palmatum in the spring? Thanks again for all of the info you provide through your channel!
Great to see you Andrew and your wonderful trees. An excellent and helpful tip as usual. Here's an interesting take.. for trees in development (especially large pots to thicken trunks), would it make sense to start them off in shade to get larger leaves and then move them into full sun for the growing season? I know it sounds a bit whacky but I'm just going off the mantra from Ryan Neil that the leaves are the solar panels. So I wonder if larger leaves will help produce more top and bottom growth?
Even when growing it’s better to build in short internodes so you have more bud potential on the inner part of the tree when you cutback and start doing branch work
Andrew, I would like to know if you can make a video about the nuances of the shade cloth, I will install mine this year because I feel a lot of environmental Changes in my location but I never use shades before and I little concerned about what to install how to put it and hoy to take off etc. :/ please help :/ Thank you for your time!
Hi, I'm writing from Italy. I had already commented on one of your videos on chojubai. I'm still waiting for a video where you explain how to grow chojubai all year round, pruning, defoliation, fertilization and if possible explain how to create clump style or tree from cuttings. I have two large ones and I constantly take cuttings, because in Italy it has been forbidden to import rosaceae. think I can't find a white chojubai anywhere. Thank you
Hey Andrew, great informative videos, keep them coming. So what if your spring temps are in the mid to high 80s for the majority of spring? My solution has been setting up spring benches in full morning sun, with afternoon filtered sun. My concern with the immediate jump to the higher temps with newly repotted trees is the added stress this heat might put on them right out of the gate after repotting? Should it be a concern? PS I’m in coastal South Carolina.
Thank you for this info! I’m fairly new to bonsai and I have about 5-6 varieties of Acer, so I wasn’t sure what to do with all of them. Some more sensitive than others. I suppose I shouldn’t have to worry about burn until it’s closer into the summer time?
Hello, has this beautiful JM been cut back already? This year, Mine in a grow box has exploded! (Didn't pinch) I'm worried about this year's root graft being shaded, do you get a second flush out of this maple? Thx, u for sharing.
Useful knowledge! Do you need a caveat to say this doesn't apply for recently repotted trees? I thought the general approach was to help the tree to recover by positioning it in the shade for the first 6-8 weeks, if not more if you did heavier root work.
So long as the trees were repotted at the correct time (before or just at bud break) this advice still applies. I think he's talking about the best case for spring while temperatures are not yet super hot. You'll want to protect your deciduous trees for a week or two after major prune back of running branches later in spring or early summer, since you'll be exposing more delicate interior leaves. 🍁

Great suggestion, will plan for that soon!
I agree great point. Keep up the great videos and tips
Great video. Keep them coming
More to come!
Sadly in the UK until a week ago we just had constant rain and almost no sun. 😢 At last the weather is getting better.
So we thought until this week back to winter ❄️
That can happen to us, even more important to get it in the sun when the weather cooperates

Yes, I have several and pinch them in the spring. I also defoliate them in the summer if they’re very vigorous
@@rakuyobonsai Thank you!
You have got most beautiful helping hands for bonsai 🐾
They're great garden companions!
Great to see you back!
Coming back with a summer series!

Short and accurate! Very useful information for us. Welcome back Andrew! And I love your dogs!
Thank you, they're the garden mascots

Thanks for the idea! We'll try and get one later this year!

That sounds like a good compromise. Full sun is fine as long as temps are below 80F
Not me watching this thinking about this little Japanese maple in full shade at my work…..let me save you lol
Haha it makes a big difference!

It's been worked a few times!
Get em Birch!
Still very much a puppy!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge! Amazing maple! Peace from England :-)
Thanks for tuning in!

Recently repotted trees need to be protected from wind, freeze and frost but sun isn’t an issue
@@rakuyobonsai interesting thank you!
Aye aye cap’n 🫡

You had me at cute puppy!
The garden Goldens are pretty cute!
Anyone doing bonsai with 2 x goldies gets my attention 🙂
They’re the best dogs!
