- Today, I have a highly desirable species - Japanese Black Pine! My demonstration features a 3 year old, 8 year old, and 15 year old Japanese Black Pine bonsai, so you can see what your seedling will look like if you keep working on it. With patience, you can create a bonsai heirloom of your own in just a few years.
With each tree, I'll go over principles about cutting, removing pine needles, wiring, repotting, and more. If you're new to Japanese Black Pine or bonsai in general, this is a great video to learn all the basic principles and techniques.

I’ve gain so much practical knowledge from your videos! Your doing a great job! My favourite on CZcams!
Wow, thank you! I appreciate your kind words. Stay tuned for more.
Wonderful video. Going to watch again.
Wow, thank you for watching! I appreciate your support!
Great lesson sir! 🙏🌲
Glad you liked it!
Beautiful designs ❤ thank you for sharing this with us 🙏
Love your videos, and this one shows when shaping a tree " LESS IS MORE," people should not be afraid to go for it. John ( Belfast).
Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
You r v.kind to share ur expertise. Tq
It's my pleasure!
Very nice work
Thank you for a great video. Please do more videos demonstrating these techniques.
I definitely will! If there's anything specific you want to see, please feel free to comment it!
Great video. I am getting very interested in Bonsai as an hobby. Right now I am soaking in as much as info as possible.
That's fantastic. Stay tuned for new videos!
@@bonsaiheirloom Thank you! It is interesting to see how your scientific/business philosophy is reflected in your approach to Bonsai (and vice versa)
Your vision for these trees is crazy! Id love a yamadori video!!!!
Thank you! I try not to do yamadori trees anymore because I want these trees to be preserved in nature for future generations, but you can check out my "yadori" video: czcams.com/video/7pCiCk0V_Wg/video.html Instead of collecting wild trees, I dug up a tree from my garden and transformed it into a bonsai. Check it out!
Thank you so much for teaching me the best ways to replace my bonsai trees. I lost mine in a house fire and i wanted to give them to my granddaughter. I will use your method to start new ones but will not have time to start from a seedling. Thank you again love your teaching i have learned a lot
I'm sorry to hear that. It's great that you are starting new ones so you can pass them down to your granddaughter. That's the beauty of creating a bonsai heirloom. Your granddaughter will understand the hard work that you've put into crafting her a bonsai. Thanks for watching and for your support!
Awesome thanks for sharing your experience
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this very informative video. It will instruct me greatly. Your final form with the trunk of the tree is very nicely shaped. Again thank you
Thank you for the compliment!
Another informative video on what you did, why you did it, and set the basic design for the “tree to fill in.” I too like using guy-wiring over wrapping the limbs whenever it helps. And guy-wiring sets the limb into design position than wiring the limb, often. Looking forward to follow ups on all three.
Yes, great analysis of the technique shown in this video. Thanks for watching, Jeff!

Love your videos
Thank you for the knowledge.
Thanks for watching. I hope you found it helpful!
Thank you for sharing bonsai🙏
Thank you for watching and being a part of my bonsai community!
_THANK YOU_ .... 🙏 😔 🙏
Your videos are always very informative and I can understand what you are doing. Please show us what the results are. The last tree is going to be awesome by next summer.
Please speak more about seeing a tree in 3D. Most people speak of front and back and the crown and the Nebari, there is a left and right also. Trees are usually where they can be seen from 3 sides at least.
You have taken the time to share and I am greatful.
🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏 🙏 🙏
Thank you for your kind words!
@@bonsaiheirloom as all ways thank you for your hospitality and knowledge. I always learn or see something new❗
You guys stay cool.
🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏
You need more before and after. After several years!
I will within time :) I am doing progress updates on all my trees every 3-6 months.
thankyou 👌🏽😍
You're welcome 😊
Nice information
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
What pruning shears do you use? Great video, thanks!
Tools with “bonsai” in the name tend to be more expensive than they can justify. Any sharp garden shear with narrow cutting heads will do. I am not very careful with tools and often leave them anywhere I go so I prefer those that are made of stainless steel.
Beautiful, thank you. Such videos are inspiring and encourage me to work with my trees 💚💚
That's great! My goal is to inspire you to do more bonsai because I find it a very rewarding and relaxing hobby!
Nice video!
Can we cut the branches in any season?
Also, shouldn't we keep only 2 branches and remove the others?
Hi Jason! Yes, you cut in any season. Don't worry about sap bleeding--it seals quickly by itself. Remove branches to shape your tree. I would think you need a lot of branches to have a design.
Great demonstration, very informative. It’s nice to see what different people are doing with their work.
My only question about soil mix (1 part sandy loam, 2 parts perlite and 1 part sphagnum moss, is were you using sphagnum peat moss (refined) or regular sphagnum moss (unrefined)?
Thank you in advance. 👍
It is the powdery stuff from Canada that I bought from Home Depot.
Love your work thank you for sharing and inspiring us bonsai lovers
Thank you for the kind words! That is exactly my goal - to inspire more people to start doing bonsai and understand the joy in it!
I have heard that a Chinese Juniper is very fragile when it comes to repotting and disturbing the roots.
In the case of repotting, is it better to use a slip pot method?
You're doing a great job conveying a lot of information to us all. Keep up the great work, and thank you.
I'm watching your videos here from Texas.
Hi Rodolfo! It is patently untrue that Chinese Juniper is very fragile. It is a very tough tree. For example, almost 100% of the cuttings root.
I am not sure what is the slip pot method. If you repot frequently, say every two or three years, then all you have to do is trim off roughly ½ inch of soil from all sides and bottom and put new soil mix into the same pot of slightly bigger pot. Slip enough? Slick! You can check out my repotting playlist for step-by-step tutorials on various bonsai: czcams.com/play/PLOGmEXKwsKP0SKOG4swUuxRz4hHCnINvA.html
Remember to exam the tree from all angles--you may see new orientation that shows off the tree better. Thank you for your compliments. Stay tuned for more!
I wouldn't repot Chinese juniper at this time of year in Texas, but in mid-fall, you should be fine, and if you do it in early spring, you can be very aggressive with the roots, as long as you give it decent aftercare if extreme weather hits you soon after.
I thank you both for the information you've given me. I'll definitely use all the information given.
Wonderful video. Thank you for taking the time to make our day a little better
Your support means a lot to me. Thank you for watching!
Keren master
18:42 why directional pruning the roots instead of bending the existing big ones on the next repot?
Either way is fine so long as the end result looks natural. Prescribed ways could be misleading to discourage you from thinking.
can i buy one of those black pine 3 year old pre bonsai trees from the bill person too milton? its a great starter pre bonsai tree. i only have a scots and a unknown pine on my bench at the moment. the scots was 1.25$ seedling i got 2 or 3 years ago from walmart haha, just bent it trying for the extra twisty style. came out ok looking ok i think. thnks milton. always great info. love seeing the progression of what you start with to what it ends up in years of training.
Sorry, I asked. Bill is a hobbyist, growing a few trees. Trees always look better after you work on it a while. Keep going! Best wishes!
i am going to japan oct 25th - nov 9th i want to bring back seeds do you have a recommendation on what i should look for
Enjoy the gardens of Japan. There is nothing we don’t have in America, honestly. People have been bringing plants material for a long time. Although in recent years, importing trees from overseas is getting increasing difficult.
I was in Tokyo about three months ago. I really appreciate the Imperial Garden near Tokyo station in the middle of town. It is open to the public and it is truly beautifully maintained. Maybe you can pick up some maple seeds and brag they originated from the Imperial family…given this is the time seeds drop. Get the ones with small leaves.
I did not have time to look for Bonsai when I went. For that, you have to take a train to go to Omiya, a bonsai city. Hope this helps!
@@bonsaiheirloom thank you so much! I am adding the imperial garden and omiya to my itinerary!
Sir Milton, I'm becoming very inspired by your knowledge, and learning from you what I can use to start my bonsai journey. I'm 66yo with too much stress and anxiety to let life be enjoyable... But, I think after hearing you say it helped you find a point of relaxing your own stress, I am excited to see the possibilities of this hobby's affect for myself! Thank you so much for what you are doing for others by giving away your knowledge! Respect!
Hi there! Yes, bonsai helped me a lot during the stressful years of my career, which is why I think it's such a rewarding and relaxing hobby. I'm 82 and still working on bonsai, so it's never too late for you to start your bonsai journey. Best wishes and let me know if you have any questions!
Hi sr, can you make a video showing how much water with fertilizer you put on your bonsais, even though on the bottle it says how to mix it I still don't know how much water to use on them, thanks a lot for your videos.
Hi Jose! I recommend you follow the instructions on the bottle. In the case of Fish and Kelp liquid fertilizer, it says 2 oz per gallon of water. That is about ¼ cup per gallon of water. That is a good starting point.
👍💥💥💥💥💥
👍👌🙂
I feel so vindicated right now. I usually keep my trees looking like sign posts with roots covered almost entirely. After some time they come up really good after some small cosmetic root work. Thank you for your channel!
That's great to hear! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I am a beginner, so seeing the time lapse of years is helpful. I like your presentations. I find it challenging to make brutal choices.
That's great to know! I'm glad you found my video helpful. If there's anything you have questions about as a beginner, please comment it and I will do my best to help. Best of luck to your bonsai!
@@bonsaiheirloom😅😅😅😢😮e😮😮😢😢😢
😊
Question, by putting the ball directly into the trunk, aren’t you going to cause a major scar which will take away from the design of the Bonsai. I like the way you redesigned it in the way it came out. My question is how much damage that bolts going to do screwed into the trunk. Thank you
The bolt only makes a small hole. It will disappear quickly when you remove it after the job is done!
