Graham, I recognize the time effort and potential frustration of making videos on CZcams. Your contribution makes the world a better place. Thank you, Mats Hagstrom
Dear Sir,I am a great fan of your work and I like the old videos you made long ago🤘 You are an outstanding artist in the Bonsaicommunity Thank you so much for your work and beeing and Idol an a big inspiration over the years🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
Thank you for this. I watch every video of yours because I know I will actually learn good techniques and timings that I can then practice in my own little backyard. Junipers still remains a challenging species for me despite all of my 'so called' experience. Thank you :)
Thanks so much for sharing once again. It's fantastic, if not the best explanation I've watched. A great transformation that must have taken so so many hours, but has moved the tree in the right direction.
Great video as always. I have been struggling with my junior chinensis it's healthy but with fuliage like this one and I have one like the sparse one. Now I have a better plan to fix them.
Thank you Graham for this clear and concise explanation of juniper pruning. It provides invaluable information in such an easy format to follow. I assume the correct technique for 'needle type' juniper is slightly different. Is there any chance you could also explain about it?

great to see you again!:) been watching for ages now!:) One question if i may: how long can you work on a tree? i tend to work on mines once a year in early spring and try to do the pruning and repotting in one day to minimise the stress for the tree. However it's sometimes stressful to do all the work in one day so i was wondering if i can split it up in multiple days and if there's a better order like first prune for two days then repot or the other way around:) Thank you for a possible answer and keep up the great work!:) always happy to see new work form you:)
Trees don't feel stress like we do. Typically the stress happens after we got involved. Go little by little with a light touch always and choose your timing to maximise the result for the good of the tree. Always depends upon what you are working too.
I am in Johannesburg ,South Africa. I just saw your video from 14 yrs ago on carving a privet ovalifolia.. I have the same hedge in my garden that needs severe pruning ( it has been here for more than 41 yrs ..we moved here then when it was about hip height) I wonder if I could root some of the larger branches for use as bonsai....please would you advise me? Thanks.😊
One thing I'm a little confused by is whether we should allow the back budding, which is essentially crotch growth to develop in certain situations so we can cut back to them? Everywhere tells you to clean out crotch growth
The implication of pruning the growth the way you have is it will likely produce stronger back bidding. Will you ever reduce the length of the long leggy branches to where the back bidding occurs or will you always clean out the back buds?
Bonsai may have originated over there but it belongs to the world now. Just because something is difficult why should I chuck away my life's work? I am neither American or a European any more than my bonsai is Asian.
Thank you! And for improved sound style too))) Watching your work I not only learn more but am like doing by your hands)). Very satisfactory. Thank you!
Glad to see you still creating videos!
After messing with plants for 20 years, I finally understand how to properly improve my junipers. Thank you
One of the best explanations on Juniper pruning that I have seen...and beautiful styling!!!
Thanks for this Graham. I've been waiting years for such a clear and detailed explanation of how to maintain and develop junipers.
Superb explanation, I learned so much, thank you. Would love you to do a needle juniper video.
Thanks, Graham, this was extremely clear and detailed - very useful and very much appreciated.
A massive thank you for taking the time to share this, very clear and informative. Thanks again !! 👍👍👍
Brilliant! A needle juniper next please ;)

@@GrahamWPotter Thank you very much for the answer:) So i can prune lightly for like one week or so? and then the next week repot it if needed?:)
How different is the technique for needle juniper? I would like to see a video on this topic, thank you!
The same but it looks different in your hands.
I am in Johannesburg ,South Africa. I just saw your video from 14 yrs ago on carving a privet ovalifolia..

I thought i was plain we never cut out back buds. They are always used to replace the little branches that are getting too long.

Hey Graham! Can you revisit the first trees you worked long time ago, like the taxus or the nice quercus suber?
Most were sold and i'm starting again.
@GrahamWPotter happy to hear about it but sad at the same time! I was imagining a video revisiting those old ones. Thank you for your reply mate!
Thanks for the information,great explanation for someone new.
How long did it take for whole tree ?
Two weeks on and off. Trying to film it all on my own sucks and really kills the vibe.
The spiky is juvenile foliage I thought?
Some varieties only have spiked foliage.
👍👌🙂
Graham what ever happened to Romone your apprentice
Ye Got a nice Brokkoli,Sir😂
Interesting. Shrub if planted in ground. Bonsai if planted in pot. Same plant.
Some insight you have there fella.
You should have an American or European hobby, rather than an Asian one, dear. Carry on… 🌺
What a ridiculous comment.
