Bonsaify | Fall Cleanup of Three Shohin Pines in Middle Development

- Опубликовано: 22 окт 2022
- For Eric, late October and November are "the most wonderful time of the year" because he gets to work on his pines! He focuses today on three six-year-old pines that are moving from early to middle development.
00:00:37 Pine #1: Eric decandled this tree a little bit on the early side in the summer. He's happy with the nebari on the trunk, and examines the shoots to determine where he can reduce to compact growth.
00:02:32 Branch analysis and reduction, again looking to compact growth as much as possible.
00:04:03 Eric examines the trunk after he removes growth. The trunk doesn't have as much movement as he wants, so to create more movement he will cut the sacrifice branch as low as possible.
00:05:10 Sacrifice branch is removed, and now we have a better sense of the scale of the tree. Eric needs to select the front of the tree based on nebari and branch availability.
00:05:55 Wiring branches. Eric plans to repot into a smaller container next year.
00:06:45 Pine #2 again needs to be thinned out and the longer shoots need to be cut so Eric can see the structure.
00:07:33 Eric wires the top strong shoot and bends it over so buds at the back get full sun.
00:08:44 Pine #3 same as the first two! Thinning for visibility and Eric needs to make a decision on where to cut the sacrifice branch.
00:09:40 He decides to make a less dramatic cut back and then wire, to help him decide what he really wants to do with the tree.
00:10:23 Eric explains the importance of setting the tree's structure to continue growing it into a better Shohin sized bonsai.

Great work, thanks for sharing
I'll try it on my bonsai 👍
いい盆栽ですね😍😍😍
A message from Japan.💕
Very good Sir
Nice, i bought some seedling cuttings a few years ago that I’m doing the same work with
I am so jealous of all your pines! I have a couple 3 year old pines and am wondering if you could do a demo of what to do at that stage? Thx so much :)
We have a lot of 3YO's. I'll see if I can find a variety of them to do a video. The work can be different than at 2 years (which we have a video of if you look back.)
@@Bonsaify I have watched it! I love your videos and I have been following your videos for small JBP but now they are 3 years old and I want to know what to do with them haha
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing, Eric! Do you ever Jin the sacrifice branches?
Not really. It's only a convention that pines don't have much deadwood - but probably because the bark is such a beautiful part of a mature pine. Pine wood is not particularly rot resistant, I've had pines with deadwood before and here in CA it lasted a long time.
Do keep in mind that the removal of the sacrifice branch changes the scale of the composition, so if you keep too much jin it'll be out of scale...
Great work - really useful, thanks. Would Autumn be a good time to undertake root work on a Scots Pine?
I think it depends on your climate. Fall root work depends on whether you can give the tree 4+ weeks of warm enough temperatures for it to re-establish roots. Spring is safer...
@@Bonsaify many thanks
👍👌👌🙂
This video is older so I'm not sure if you'll see this, but how do you decide when to move to a bonsai container? When you're done growing out the trunk & healing large scars?
Yes basically. If you've got a good trunk and no major wounds to heal then you can step down the trees into smaller containers - either growing containers or bonsai pots
@@Bonsaify thanks, really appreciate the reply!
Hi Erick loved the video. I have a question. I have 2 black pine that i acquired from you, can i do that with them? Here in NY is low 60⁰
The weather isn't so important as the stage that the material is in. This is some cutback for after the trees have the girth that you'd want. Three year olds are not likely to have that girth yet. You can reduce the large side branches on them, leaving the smaller buds to develop into the finished branching.
What protection do you give these trees over the winter after this major work? Would you defer this work until the spring if your area got 2-3 weeks of 10-20C temps over the winter?
Bob - good question and not something I've dealt with much. I know that fall work is standard in Japan - partly because if you leave dense growth until spring some of it will die off. But, the single dramatic bends that I did on each of these could cause problems in cold weather. Still, I think if you have a week or two before cold that the tree would have time to adjust. These are small branches and young, so I wasn't actually cracking any wood or splitting bark that might allow ice to kill the branch. All that said - I think the temps you list are a bit on the too-cold side for JBP anyway - perhaps you know better? I'd try to create a spot where you can keep them between 25-40F (did you mean 10-20F?) at 10-20C there would be no issues.
@@Bonsaify Actually I meant to say -10C to -20C. Last year I kept all my young JBP and 1-2 yr seedlings outdoors on the ground and the pots covered with mulch in a sheltered corner of my yard. No losses. I have a 40 yr old JBP that I kept in my garage enclosure that is temp controlled to get no colder than 0C because it's too valuable to risk. Thanks!
Do you know if anyone will be filming a walkthrough of the expo? Unfortunately i can't make it due to work.
We are definitely going to do a lot of filming. I'm sure I'll post a walkthrough here also. Meanwhile, commemorative albums are on sale at the PBE website.
@@BonsaifyI'm glad to hear it will be filmed. I didn't want to ask you directly because I'm sure you and Jonas have a lot going on right now.
Hi im from tropical country, is it prohibited to make cuts on rainy season? Cause my JBP is dying right now after i chopped the branch..
JBP don't like consistently wet conditions. You might need to keep them under something during rain. It's also not a tropical species - so you might try a different pine species.
@@Bonsaify thanks! Really appreciated it!
What's up doc?
Wait, shouldn't that be "What's up doc, HEY?"
Merhana, shohin ve mame bonsai arasındaki fark nedir?
Shohin 15-20cm, mame 5-15cm, just the size.
@@Bonsaify Thank you 😊
Did you grow your 6 yr old pine in that pond basket the whole time out was it in ground for a few years first before moving it?
These were grown in the baskets the entire time.
@@Bonsaify just the answer I was hoping for thanks
