Bonsai is a great , though I never managed to investigate it. Best wishes

Great video. Keep them coming

What species is that? Fantastic trunk!

Amazing trees, but where are the larches?

Hi, I'm writing from Italy. I had already commented on one of your videos on chojubai. I'm still waiting for a video where you explain how to grow chojubai all year round, pruning, defoliation, fertilization and if possible explain how to create clump style or tree from cuttings. I have two large ones and I constantly take cuttings, because in Italy it has been forbidden to import rosaceae. think I can't find a white chojubai anywhere. Thank you

That wagon is awesome! Love the adjustable height idea!

Hey Andrew, great informative videos, keep them coming. So what if your spring temps are in the mid to high 80s for the majority of spring? My solution has been setting up spring benches in full morning sun, with afternoon filtered sun. My concern with the immediate jump to the higher temps with newly repotted trees is the added stress this heat might put on them right out of the gate after repotting? Should it be a concern? PS I’m in coastal South Carolina.

Cây đẹp quá bạn ơi 👍✌️

Hello, has this beautiful JM been cut back already? This year, Mine in a grow box has exploded! (Didn't pinch) I'm worried about this year's root graft being shaded, do you get a second flush out of this maple? Thx, u for sharing.

❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this info! I’m fairly new to bonsai and I have about 5-6 varieties of Acer, so I wasn’t sure what to do with all of them. Some more sensitive than others. I suppose I shouldn’t have to worry about burn until it’s closer into the summer time?

Not me watching this thinking about this little Japanese maple in full shade at my work…..let me save you lol

Sadly in the UK until a week ago we just had constant rain and almost no sun. 😢 At last the weather is getting better.

Great to see you back!

You had me at cute puppy!

You have got most beautiful helping hands for bonsai 🐾

Get em Birch!

Short and accurate! Very useful information for us. Welcome back Andrew! And I love your dogs!

goldens. best dogs ever. nice trees too! thanks rakuyo

Great quick video on such an important topic of bonsai cultivation! Give those pups and extra pet for us!! 🙏🪴🍁 Would love to see another garden tour with your trees fully leafed out!

Aye aye cap’n 🫡

Thank you for this video! That is a very impressive maple. I was wondering if you work with Amur maples at all? It’s hard to find good examples of this species in bonsai culture online and I’d like to know if we should pinch the new growth like we do with Acer palmatum in the spring? Thanks again for all of the info you provide through your channel!

👍

Useful knowledge! Do you need a caveat to say this doesn't apply for recently repotted trees? I thought the general approach was to help the tree to recover by positioning it in the shade for the first 6-8 weeks, if not more if you did heavier root work.

Anyone doing bonsai with 2 x goldies gets my attention 🙂

Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge! Amazing maple! Peace from England :-)

Great to see you Andrew and your wonderful trees. An excellent and helpful tip as usual. Here's an interesting take.. for trees in development (especially large pots to thicken trunks), would it make sense to start them off in shade to get larger leaves and then move them into full sun for the growing season? I know it sounds a bit whacky but I'm just going off the mantra from Ryan Neil that the leaves are the solar panels. So I wonder if larger leaves will help produce more top and bottom growth?

Hmmm, I guess low cost is relative. I’m guessing Peter is not giving these away. Peter is awesome and he certainly knows how to assess trees including knowledge of correct market values. It’s always a bit of a mystery how much trees cost or are worth. A bit of a taboo subject it seems. I think it’s a great exercise to learn how to properly assess a tree including an understanding of what is the potential and required time frame to finish the tree would be. I just heard Peter speak on this subject (and others) at the ABAS (Sacramebto club) monthly meeting. Based on that I’m guessing the price for the tree was $6000. Most bonsai growers tend to not bring up cost or prices. It is proper and appropriate. That said for those still learning(I guess that’s all of us) I think understanding the value of trees would be an important exercise. There are few to none in regard to actual pricing or values videos on CZcams. Personally I try to never miss a local auction because that is to date the best place for me to understand pricing, quality and desirability. Your video inspired me to buy a few of these maples from Mendocino maples, they were all crudely grafted but I will layer them once they get established. Unfortunately there is no movement in the trunk which is a challenge and a reminder of the importance of early selecting decisions. Thank you again, Mats

This is my favorite species for bonsai

I have a question i hope you can help answer. When you collect a birch yamadori and you successfully transfer it into a trainingpot or a wooden box, do you put it in full sun, or do you recomend shade for a while?

Great instructional video!

Would that pinching tool work good on azalea flowers also? Or beter stay with small Bud sciccors? A W E S O M E tree again!🌳

Hi, excellent timing! I will be doing mine... may I suggest a video on pots? I remember your great interview with Nao but I can't find much good info on pots (what makes a good old pot in particular) anyway, could you recommend a book on Oriental pots with more than photos, size, maker? Beautiful tree/pot. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful winter Hazel, Andrew. I love the purple pot you have it paired with. Have you worked with many different cultivars?

Great video and wonderful tree. I’m developing some winter hazel from nursery stock at the moment and would love to see more as there is little available on this wonderful species.

Thank you! Inspired me to chase one down.

What a gorgeous tree - the branch movement and cascading golden flowers are truly a work of art! What kind of light conditions does this species enjoy?

Thanks Andrew! Amazon information and amazing tree!

where can you find winter hazel in OR?

nice tree. i had a vision you did a loblolly video around decandling time 😊🖖

Amazing rock to complement the forest

Absolutely love this

I have both Arakawa and Nishikigawa in my collection, the long internodes are a pain at times, I've tried holding right off with the fertiliser in late spring, a very challenging maple to grow. Great tutorial video, thank you :-)

Bald cypress don't grow as flat tops in the south? Weird, I've seen hundreds of them when i lived in South Carolina. 🤔🤔😂

I see those knees on my Metasequoias all the time.

Thanks for the video-- keep making them! I love seeing your nursery.

Another great video. I’m always seeing these huge bald cypress’s on Instagram, would love one myself but you just don’t get them this big/grown much in the UK. You got such amazing pieces of material. 👌

A pleasure to watch your videos Andrew! Thank you for posting! I think I recognize Lee’s Dawn Redwood from Mirai Elongating Species course back in 2017. Great to see the progress! Also, thank you for showing me around Mikael Hagedorns garden back in 2017! Great to see your own garden, trees and content! Greetings from Sweden!

Incredible Mr., incredible!

Some stunning trees to work on. Thanks for sharing!
