Video

Wow!!

👍👌🙂

Lovely show and amazing trees!! In the future could you slow down a bit with the camera? And maybe get a closeup of the cards telling the species? I really enjoy seeing these shows because I do not know of any near me, and I am a beginner so it really warms my heart to know the tree I am looking at.

Nice video thanks DAVID keep upthegood work

Thank you so much for sharing this vid!!. For me, this was the best explanation on styling deciduous trees I've seen - completely relatable and practical! Best of all, it works for Canadian trees too!! Will definitely look for Stephen's books online,

Thanks David, have lots to do 😊

Wow, that heavy operation during winter 😮.

its hot summer in canada and I'm finding baby maple trees all over my yard. Dig em up and pot em or leave them alone until fall/winter? I have one that is similar to the size you're working on and the rest are just twigs

Try planting them on an old CD

cheers see you in brisbane soon david

Can't you wash the soil with garden hose with pressure ?

Pleased it’s our summer you look cold 👍🌲

👍👌🙂

Lovely repot David. Take that since you didn’t take too much root that this time of year is fine for a repot. What about a tree in development, I take it you would refrain from significant root work.

Interesting to see if you are considering a redesign on this trident based on Mr Cullen’s presentation or keep it as is. I think his argument is very persuasive but at the same time it doesn’t hurt to have one or two trees that look like bonsai as opposed to actual trees in nature.

Great video and content. Doesn’t only apply for Australian natives in my opinion. Thank you for posting this ! I’m a huge fan of the naturalistic style. 😊

Ignore the complaints about the quality of the sound or video and listen to the quality of the advice which is worth so much more, need more people and books teaching naturalistic bonsai styles vs predetermined "bonsai" styles, learn the techniques for sure but as he said "make your Bonsai look like trees" not the other way around, great talk, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting mate got this book recently 👍

I’ve been craving a video on building the core structure in a naturalistic manner. Thinking about these as informal brooms makes so much sense and is exactly the types of trees I’ve been wanting to develop to look like the mountain fall foliage of my childhood home. Thank you for sharing this treasure of a video.

Thanks. Just starting my bonsai journey (now 2 years). Felt uncomfortable with the traditional styling of bonsai - looked unnatural. Stephen Callum’s approach makes total sense to me.

Lovely job

Great video and lecture! Im glad i seen this how to style deciduous material early on in my journey. I style all my deciduous trees this way. That slide of all the deciduous styles is soo valuable. Let the conifers be conifers and deciduous be deciduous😂. Its tough cause we always stick to having everything be pads . I think the hardest selection of branch removal is to not have too many crossing branches as u go up the the tree but thats impossible cause every branch is crossing each other as the tree ramifies into that shape. Great demo and a well needed teaching on styling deciduous trees

👍👌🙂❤🍎

That was excellent!! Thanks for posting. I emailed Stephen and bought the book before the end of the video. I can’t wait to read it.

The audio is so poor that it is very hard to understand, unfortunately

Wow thanks for sharing David. So much to learn and to take in. Will watch this one again!

Fantastic presentation! Wish I was present.

Not bad David, but the camera was in a bad spot. 😢

Which season you repot and cut the roots ? Early Spring or end of Winter ?

I think they need humid environment. I have one and had problems with it. I put it among rather long grass which gets morning sun for few hours and o sprinkle the grass arround it in the morning and in the afternoon and sometimes arround midnight before i go to bed. It looks much better than what it was. I displaced it about 6 weeks ago and we are right in the middle of Summer at 35 ceius . Try it

Can hardly see anything. The angle of the camera isn't in good location

that big bush blocks the view and I can see what you are doing..

man these demos are gold,

Brilliant demonstration . I've watched your videos for a few years now and have learnt so much. Thank you very much !!! Love from the U.K

Great info and video David. Thanks

👍👌🙂

Sad i missed this, thanks for posting!

Great presentation, good audio too.

Thank you for your knowledge! Most relevant channel for me! MELBOURNE REPRESENT ✊🏽

You have a great technique along with an amazing eye to see the tree through the forest.

👍👌🙂

Great tutorial video! I now have a better idea of how to create pads on my 45+ years old Japanese black pine. I always enjoy watching and learning your techniques. Thank you so much

Little late to this party. The tree came out great. Is there a part 2? Can you provide me your link.

👍👌🙂

Truly are an expert David, beautiful work

Thanks for posting this fantastic video! Always excited to see new posts on your channel!

Nice Job David. Jackie would be proud of you.

Very good explanation of trimming! Hope you enjoyed the rain! I’ll take it to heart.

Great transformation.

beatiful tree, and still looking fairly natural and not too stylised. Thank you for the vid!
