- Опубликовано: 24 мар 2020
- In this video, Jason refines one of his overgrown Juniper cascade bonsai from the nursery. He discusses layering out pads as well as the techniques on how to space out each layer to give more depth. He also discusses the future plan on the tree and how a single branch can change a viewer's focus on the movement of the tree.

It's beautiful just the way it is with the little branch intact. On camera, the branch provides a nice balance.
I agree 100% I think it's a nice balanced tree as is.
Looks good with the branch there. My vote is to leave it. 👍🇨🇦
Perfect timing of this video ! I have a procumbens that I wasn’t sure how to approach it thanks again and the way you finished is perfect cheers
I love what you have done, don’t change it. That little branch is perfect. Your future plans about the above branches growing out and replacing that thicker lower branch is perfect. I love that your junipers have so much foliage and not wispy a-frames that others make. Please keep the videos coming. Here in Canada spring is still a month or two away!
Just finding your vlogs, so I’m catching up with older videos. This turned out really nice. I see your point about that little branch on the right. I like it , to me it’s the beginning of your focus. Then up and around the cascade.
The clean up and shaping turned out really beautiful.
Dang fine job, I'm excited. I can find that species very easily but I like how you do your videos. You explain what you're going to do then fast forward through the refining and wiring because you made videos highlighting those processes..Nice job, Jason!
Great teaching my friend. I bought one that has many of the same elements as yours and have been afraid to style it. Your video has given me the confidence to go for it.
What I like about this channel is the videos are compact. They don't unpack the mechanics so much, rather they focus on aesthetics.
How the design is revealed via the technique and process.
That's what I am most interested in, and that's what Jason shares so well.
Honestly, i think the sort-of thick first branch is a gem. It seems to give great balance and acts as a perfect counter to the very long cascading trunk. I think you should keep it precisely _because_ of its girth. It seems that you hot it right on the first go-around! Great job!
I say keep the branch. Beautiful tree. Great time lapse
Jason, I like what you did with the cascade, making it circular and layering--wonderful movement! I would suggest keeping both branches located to the right and below the apex. You could layer them, with the thick one situation below the thinner one, and even bring the right side of the apex down a little to fill-in any gap. I don't believe this would take away from the beautiful movement of the cascade. Anyway, you did a great job of bringing out the best of the tree. Thanks. I'm glad you're back in the "workshop" doing bonsai. Michael
Love that little branch..i just started with growing and trimming and love the videos .thanks
Beautiful cascade!
You done a fabulous job on this bonsai… its just beautiful
It’s amazing how you create an outstanding cascade bonsaï. I would not cut the branch. I think it adds to thé triangle shape
This is stunning and I can't wait until I have something that I can style into this style! (Just learning bonsai)
Thank you Jason for this video. It gave me idea.
Thanks Jason! All your videos are excellent. I was wondering if you could do a video on styling a windswept juniper? Keep up the great work!
Cascade bonsai Juniver nice,thank you for sharing mr
That's a gorgeous bonsai. Well done! I would also leave the branch there.
I have a small Procumben in a cascade design that I just started. It only has 1 cascading branch. I kept a lower branch on the opposite side. It balances the tree. I vote keeping it on yours. I styled mine similar to yours.
A great form of art.
Beautiful and Impressive!!
Master piece
Awesome tree and i like more with the branch
Beautiful
That's a nice plant.
I would keep as much growimg. And while doing trimmings , try and clone through branches. Thanks jason. You can tie the branch to the pot.
Beautiful.
Excellent!
love this one! well done!
I really enjoyed your music selection.
I love these videos!
Don't cut it until you can replace it just like you said. It provides a nice balance and use it to it jin later.
Well done on the design in love your videos specially where you design allmost from scratch 👌🏽
Jason you are the Man👍🏿
love this video. insane tree
Wow very nice.. Luar biasa..
Just maintain, it's shape is already awesome.
I do like the lower branch where it is. It gives the top symmetry and balances the foliage from the cascading branches
If this was my tree id leave that first branch, but id cut the cascade tail off just below the lip of the pot, make it a semi cascade. Replant in a more shallow square pot. Once again some nice work man, love your stuff
Perfect!
Wow! Awesome
wow.. very nice
Wonderful🥰
Nice job on the overall style. Leave the branch; it provides a healthier, fuller look.
I m very enjoyed your video👍👍👍
I would like to see two things take place. I would remove the branch to show more of the trunk as it would draw your attention to the sweeping motion of the trunk and emphasize the cascade. I would raise the plant in the pot so that you can see more of the trunk and the sweeping motion of the Bonsai.
I have a juniper that cascades similar to this one.however the apex is pretty bald so im hoping to encourage growth on the top more. Its getting some new foliage already which is great. I haven't tried to wire pads on it yet though. Im still trying to plan out what to do with it.
Lovely
I kind of like that thick trunk but im not an expert. I would love to see the repotting and root trimming and working. I have one that i started to work with and this video was exiting.
Holy shit....thats beautiful!
Good vid.
Time lapse was a bit quick. Woulda been nice to see more detail on the wiring your way up the cascade. But not complaining.
The branch on the right is a tough call.
The tree needs something fairly substantial in that area, but maybe not quite as heavy as that branch looks now.
Maybe shorten halfway and thin out a bit?
Thanks!
wow that is beautiful, I want that tree! lol ty for the video
Nice video
I love it 💚🌳💚🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I like the little branch as it is, I see your point But I think the way it is ads balance to the tree.
Great video. I have watched it twice. Did you do a follow-up video?
excellent transformation, do not remove the branch, it is nice the way is now, thanks for the video
I would consider making the back the front' that would allow you to keep the first branch as a back branch. Slowly twist the cascade to the new front. The twist in the cascade then can be considered for possible shari and dead wood features down the track. Does this sound feasible?
I like it with the branch. Great work Jason. Do you guys ship nana junipers in raw material. I live here in California. And no one ships here. Any ideas thanks.
Thks for sharing very beautiful!!
Can you do Jinning on a Cascade style Bonsai?
Any chance you could do a video of pruning a Fukien Tea Bonsai?
The branch looks to be the perfect balance. Without it there is a bit too much movement towards the cascade and it felt out of proportion. I would leave it even if the cascade were shorter. Thanks for the nice video.
Can you show how it grew and how you are designing if you have this tree?
I like it better with the little branch. I'd try to train it to grow back around and to the right, ultimately coiling around to spiral down with the big branch on the left.
Great video and tree is it a squatmata? Stay well and smiling
I vote no to removing it. As a photographer and watercolorist, I concentrate on ways to draw the viewer's eye around the picture endlessly, looking for new discoveries and turning the photo into a treasure hunt. Without the small opposing "place to go", the viewers eye would really start and end on the cascade, making it a pretty one-dimensional, easy treasure hunt. With the opposing branch, the eye, must, must go to the stub, if it is at all substantial, to find out what is going on there. After a short exploration there, the brain has to dive the eye back to the cascade to re-interpret it in light of what's been observed at the little branch (if there is any complexity there at all). The circuit continues, but as the brain calms down, it starts searching the crown, the branches, the trunk. Great video!
Incredible job! Procumbens nana?
Hello! I am new to your channel and am really enjoying your work. Do you still have this tree, and can we get a "Here it is now" look? Thanks and keep up the good work!
If I gets too long would you just cut off the end? Or if you wanted it smaller as a whole?
How did the branch grew down? I thought we should wire it so that we force it to grow downwards
What were you listening to on your headphones Jason?
Is that really a Procumbens? It's hard to tell from the video, but I wasn't sure if it was Procumbens or Shimpkau. I have a Procumbens Cascade that is very similar to yours. I also have the low side branch opposite the cascade branch. I've kept mine because I think it adds some balance. In your case it's hard to tell how big that smaller rear side branch is vs the thick one. I would probably remove the thicker one and as you say bend the smaller one into place and let it develop. But I think you need something in that area to balance the deep cascade. Great work! I'd love to have that tree myself as I love cascades.
Hi Bob, Yes, this is a Procumbens. I've got some shimpaku raw material. Maybe I'll do one of those next. Thanks for watching.
Hello Jason,
Are you from Bay Area? I just bought a very nice cascade Juniper which needs to be pinched and trained. I need your advice if you live in the Bay Area. I enjoy all your videos very much.
How can I bend thicker trunks? My cascade doesn’t have the initial loop yours does. I want to pronounce it more
I love it just leave it. 😀👍
Bonsai power🌳
It looks good, but I don’t think the lower branch is the issue, just wondering if you lift the plants in bring it slightly higher I think it will make a big difference. I believe the lower branch hold the balance of the plants
I like it there but I'm new. Left a like
I think that the back branch can fill that gap and you can create a jin. Maybe It would be great, but now It looks great too
You can make that branch a Jin or dead-wood branch and that would add a nice touch
Very nice pot. Does your tree get berries? I'd maybe shorten the actual cascade, taking out the thick middle stem that's already reaching the table and competing with the main trunk, so that the leaves would "smallen" before reaching the bottom, and the mountain (vase) would look higher. It's beautiful and must smell so nice while you're working on it! - very lucky :-)
The branch gives a nice shape to the trunk but as you say it does take some attention away from the cascade I would turn it into a nice jin then move the back branch where you said
Leave the fat branch as a sacrificial branch to thicken the trunk at the base. Cut and carve later once the branches above have filled in the space, and the sacrificial branch has served its purpose.
how would i clean and cut those branches by avoiding not to cut the right branches
Okk mrr,, mantappp
You might want to leave that lower branch, let it grow way out for a couple of seasons as it will thicken the lower trunk near the base and improve the taper.
Keep it.
Leave the branch, it gives balance and compliments the main trunk curve.
Please what kind of juniper is this? A creeping juniper?
Useful video. Dont cut the branch.
I love junipers and that is a great cascade. I say leave the branch it looks good that way.
I’m trying to understand what you look for to identify front to back when shaping
good branch placement, interesting trunk line, as few flaws as possible, sometimes you are choosing a best front, sometimes you are choosing the least bad front, if that makes sense, basically just work with what you have and choose the side that shows the best features and hides as many of the worst features as possible
Cut it. Where did you buy such a deep cascade pot? I need a 12 to 14 inch deep pot. I'd rather not buy a stand for a shallow pot for my cascade.
Oh, please keep the branch. It is a bit too big, but it's great at picking up the forward movement of the long cascade branch.
I mean, the long cascade branch as it goes down first goes back, but at the bottom moves forward. And then it ends.
If you cut off that branch, the eye if the viewer is lost at this point, doesn't know where to go. With the branch, the eye continues and completes the circle (or the oval) from the forward bottom of the cascade branch to the forward of that branch (the one you think of cutting off), based on forwardness of both.
Sorry, I don't know if I explained it well.
leave branch! even tho i see what u mean that branch thicc boii ,i liked how the jin looked also the one u ended up taking away
Maybe make out of the lowest branch a jin with light shari, whenever the rear small one can take its place (bended towards the front right handside. I also feel this balances out the whole structure. Very nice cascade, I agree that te lowest part of the cascade looks nicer this way rotating inwards back as a loop. The front you designated is indeed the best one, but the corner of the pot doesn't shock me, it could be the indicator of the front, it gives it some charm, no ?
I don’t think the little branch needs removing, I quite like that shape and movement.
I'd like to see it lifted in the pot a bit, so we can see the base of the trunk.
Could you jin that heavy branch?
My problem is when I work on my bonsai tree
Dead on I try everything but nothing what I'm going wrong
Hi Anna, you may want to go back to just checking the light and water requirements to make sure you're giving it what it needs. Working on the tree will stress it out a bit. Good luck!
@@easternleaf thank you I will try
How about the soil or to mucho sun I live in tropical Island it always hot sunny it I try and try but something is no right
