- An unusual Rocky Mountain Juniper - From cleaning the live vein all the way through Todd's thought process on the designing of the tree. If you have any questions, put them in the comment section below and I'll be happy to answer them.
Looking forward to your class this weekend Todd.
That was awesome. Such great deadwood highlighting, multi apex extraordinar and care to detail of wiring. Thanks so much. It somehow clicked at a deeper level the importance of making pads flat. Thanks again. Keep posting please.
Hi! I perk the tips up, but the foliage on this juniper is wispy and droopy, so I’m lying out the pads to see how the foliage responds. Hopefully it gets tighter. We will see.
Nice job Todd. I like what you did with it. Good solution to unusual material.
Thanks Roger
Amazing result to this RMJ. Todd is a brilliant artist
thats a serious haircut since i last saw you. hope you're doing well!
I love how well you handle the unusual material. You're one of the best
Thanks! Im just trying to make cool trees!
beautiful
Great video, love your work man
Thanks Jack
Todd Schlafer is my spirit animal!!
HAHAHA!!!
Hi Todd. Awesome Juniper to work on and take it to next level. Your Teacher would be Happy. What kind of Pot are you thinking 🤔 of? I would try a Rock 🪨 pot style but you the Boss.
Something unconventional is an option. I like the stone idea.
@@ToddSchlafer Dear Todd. You just made my Day. Watch Ryan so much and learning about Bonsai Tree Care and Design is helping. But Today’s reply just Put a Little feather 🪶 in my 🧢 so God Bless You and Family and MC Happy Holidays Todd’s Bonsai Garden # 1 in my Book. Peace my Friend. Greg of Ohio
@@gregoryh4601 thanks Greg! Have a great Christmas!
@@ToddSchlafer Todd just went to your Website and Wow you love Pines,Spruce and Junipers. No Maple trees for you ,hehehehehe. Todd May I ask on your Photos of your Trees in your Garden. The Second Photo there a Big thick Trunk Pine ( I think) could you do a Design video? You have a Lot Of Pre Bonsai Trees. Wow. Happy Holidays. PS does Wifely help you in the Bonsai World?
Much better than I could ever do but for me a couple too many branches on the top left.
Is there a preferred time of year to perform this work? Im especially curious about cleaning the live vein and applying lime sulphur on two freshly collected Utah junipers.
Hi Andrew, Big structural work I like to do late winter and August/September here in Denver. Cleaning the live vein is a great thing to do in the fall, but you can do that anytime.
@@toddschlaferbonsai9300 is it appropriate to perform live vein maintenance on trees that have been freshly collected and recovering in pumice for less than two months? Or should this kind of work wait until after a complete growing season? Im in Seattle so it wont get much below 32F this winter
@@drmeithos it’s way to early. I would wait at least a year. When you do remove the bark the tree loses some water through the exposed live vein. Although Seattle is wet at this point you are looking to grow roots and make sure the tree lives. Trees I collect late in the year I well put on heat beds to keep the roots at 80 F.
@@ToddSchlafer is there a specific ambient air temperature at which you would take trees off bottom heat if winter temps exceed expectations? 45F? 50F? Seattle winters can linger between 40-45F so I sometimes worry if I am sparking foliar growth if the air warms up- as it tends to do during winter storms from the Pacific. Will the roots be disturbed if i move the trees on and off bottom heat too many times over the course of winter? Or does all added heat below 80F help the roots?
@@drmeithos having roots at 80 and the air temperature in the 40s won’t stimulate foliage growth. Here in Denver I leave trees on heat into May.
I'm early, sweet
