Thank You Rafael for this video! Although the species You show cannot survive in my desert climate, I receive so much inputs to improve my styling and my way of thinking, because You comment and show at the same time!
That sure is a special looking larch. You were fortunate to have found that in the wild. I like the choices you discussed. I look forward to watching this develop. Nice work as usual. Thanks, keep growing
Hey Jonathan. I think it all depends on the severity of the actions and if there are breaks or embolisms, it is better usually to have the tree leaving dormancy and able to heal wounds instead of about to enter dormancy or in the middle of it. However, there are plenty of people that work their larch in fall or winter, it seems to make no difference so it is a matter of how severe the operations are in terms of bending, pruning I think is less of a problem, but again proportional to the magnitude. I like to see what buds are active when I am styling as in my personal experience there's always a bit of discarded tips by the tree but these only become evident when the tree is starting to leave dormancy. If you're happy with your way of doing it, keep going! Thanks for stoping by this video!
What is the make/model of that scorp tool you used? Were the Knipex pliers you used the 6 or 7 1/4” versions? Where did you get the pot the tree is in? It awesome!
Hi Bob, the scorp is from flexcut, they have a section of their website dedicated to scorps. My knipex mini bolt cutter is 8", model number 7101200. The pot is from Philippe Torcatis, a french potter whose studio is called Terre Ô Vert. It is indeed an awesome pot. Thank you!
Thanks Rafi... I've bought 5 pots from 2 different Quebec potters this spring/summer, but not Mr. Torcatis. I'll have to look him up on the web. Thanks!
Merci beaucoup pour cette présentation.

Thanks Matt!
Good work! I like that tree, remind me where you took your left-handed cutter
The left-handed scorp, I bought it from Nature's Way Nursery but it is from FlexCut, you can find it in their webpage.
Very good
Thank you very much!
Hi Rafi; Is there any benefit to pruning in November vs Spring? I always do this in Nov. and have not suffered any die back. Thanks

@@bobmccarlie382 Philippe Torcatis is from France.
@@evolution_bonsai Ahh... that explains why I couldn't find a Quebec ceramist by that name! :D Thanks again.
FOIST to Larch ;-)
Indeed!
