Deciduous Post-Flush Pruning

  • To understand deciduous bonsai cultivation, we have to understand the difference between pinching and pruning. Pinching is the act of removing the soft new growing tip to stimulate interior buds whereas pruning is the act of trimming the more mature, hardened-off foliage to guide length and direction.
    Pinching typically occurs in the early spring when the buds are still light, soft green, and pruning can occur between late spring to early summer when the growth has darkened and fully pushed out.
    By the influence of native North American forests, the beech forest was created. The symbiotic canopy of the deciduous beech trees rises from the uneven, coarse understory of the contorted landscape. Ryan Neil draws his inspiration from the Northeastern United States forests, capturing the grand feeling of a lush forest that is reborn into a green abundance each spring, to then transition gradually through the hues of fall color.
    A deciduous tree is a broadleaf tree, the leaf has an expanded surface area and it loses its leaves over the winter catalyzed by a reduction in daylight and temperatures. A key aspect of deciduous bonsai cultivation is growth management as these trees boom with positive energy and thick new flush. We have to build solid scaffolding for secondary branching to then be able to build tertiary branching.
    By pruning the hardened off growth, we can control the branch tips, length, and directional insinuation to guide the tree in its design. We can also actively pinch at this time any new soft growth that we want to compartmentalize by removing the auxin at the tip to encourage back budding. It is crucial to consider a tree’s overall design when enacting the pruning and pinching process.
    Another key aspect of growth management is leaf trimming to reduce the overall photosynthetic surface area of a leaf. By cutting the leaves carefully at an angle, the aesthetic of the leaf is maintained while also encouraging finer interior growth.
    Growth management is a fundamental aspect of deciduous bonsai practice. To learn more, visit live.bonsaimir... to grow your understanding of bonsai and build your skills with deciduous species cultivation techniques.

    This is the first time I've seen the beech forest in this video. What an inviting composition! It reminds me of the mountain woods in southern Maine❤

    Why I love living in Bloomington Indiana. Early spring and fall is like Japan!!! Summer and winter is very hit and miss though. Winter can go from Kyoto to Shikoku to Hokkaido winter without warning

    do you not find that cutting the leaves like that ends up with the edges turning yellow?

    • @danielkosta3134
      @danielkosta3134 3 года назад +1

      This is what I do. Wet my hands with water and then apply some hand lotion. Rub until sap softens or dissolves. Apply hand soap and then rinse clean.

      I've had good luck with Goop. It is marketed to mechanics for removing grease, so you might find it near auto parts at the store. Put it directly on dry hands, water will only dilute it. Then after massaging it in, rinse and wash with hand soap to remove the Goop.

    The composition and the way the trees are arranged is fantastic, but the base with the rocks on the pot is too complicated for me, it competes for attention with the trees so much that it distracted me continuously. Just my opinion though, no right or wrong here and ultimately the artist him/herself is the one who needs to be pleased first and foremost.
