This channel very quickly became my favourite for Bonsai.
Great visual details. Really appreciate that.
Happy 50th video-versary. Looking for the next 50. Thanks and keep them coming.
I watched about 5 minutes and subscribed. I've always had a fear on how much of a trimming the tree can take. Now I'm more confident to go ahead this fall and re-watch this about 50 times over the summer :-) I love your relaxing way of presentation. Cheers from New England USA.
Thanks for the sub!
Every one of the 50 was great. Here's to the next 50! Never stop. Wonderful videos, thank you.
I have watch all 50 films over the past 8 months and loved every one. When I see a notification that a new film has been uploaded the kettle goes straight on. Here's to the next 50, well done Corin and all involved who helps make them.
Yeah, next fiftx rules!!! Looking forward! Cheers!
Love your work and then effort that goes into making the videos
Congrats on your 50th video
Nice some more juniper content!
Congratulations sir♥️
Great video's Corin as allways very entertaining ,👍👍
Congratulations on your first 50 and more to come 👍👍😎
i am looking forward to part two - wiring and shaping, interesting tree - stright, will see
Great work and explanation! Thanks!
Congratulations on making fifty videos. The way you present your blog it's as if you been doing it for a long time.
Very interesting. Love the way that you explain what you are doing in your videos
Well done on 50 videos. They are very welcome and appreciated. I must get a Chinese Juniper sometime, perhaps next Spring. Thanks for the demo Corrin.
You explain things so well, easy to understand what it is you are doing! I for one have watched, some many times, all 50 of your videos!
Congratulations for the 10.000 subscribers!!
Omg 50th video and such a fantastic subject your knowledge never ceases to amaze me so it’s great to always see the follow up on all the trees you do 😜
Congratulations please keep it up!!
It's improved, but what I was hoping you would cover is what you would propose to do with those two horrid bottom branches - very straight and long, and one coming from the base.
Congratulations Corin on your 50th video. Thanks also for the lovely welcome that you gave me when I visited your Bonsai shop and studio. Your videos prompted me to make the trip from Manchester to your studio in Nottingham. I am really enjoying reading the book on Bonsai Maples that I purchased from you. It is very informative. Thanks again.
Congrats on the 50th video! For many more to come! Thanks for the content Corin.
The world of bonsai is really lovely . The sharing is brilliant.
You have probably already designed hundreds or even thousands of trees. You have a very good eye and pride the scissors with a safe cut and your sense of form is masterful.
Here's to the next 50. Most enjoyable and informative. 😁👍
Brilliant choice of music 😎Dennis
Hi Corin, great video again, like all the ones before. It’s always a pleasure following your projects. Keep going …
Thoroughly enjoyed that Corin
I need to show my Itoigawa some love
Cracking videos these, informative , clear and well presented. I learn a lot from them
Keep em coming 👍
Great video USA Michigan
I stumbled into a grizzled battle hardened dwarf without his battle helm teaching how to work on bonsai trees.....Tolkien's work has done a number on me. Thanks for bridging that gap opens up a new lore line for me lol.
Btw I am not saying your short lol.
not many tall bonsai dwarfs around. lol
Its the easy relaxed manner and delivery that makes this channel so popular 😎Dennis
I appreciate that!
Excellent! I will revisit some of the recent trimmings that I did on my Junipers. Very helpful!
Fantastic video once again 😎Dennis
I really like your video. You always say. This time of the year! .its important to tell the month.
Congrats with this 50th video, I’ve enjoyed each and everyone of them. Hope to see much more!
Nice 🌳
Happy 50th.
Thanks guys, your channel is definitely one of the best out there for bonsai! Keep it up
Congratulations on your ✨✨Golden✨✨CZcams video. 🥳🥳🥳 Here's to many, many more🍻. A fan from the US.
Hopefully the progression goes well !! Best wishes
I truly enjoy watching your videos. They help me to move to the next skill level. My junipers also thank you!
You’ve got to get your hands in there and the tree will reveal itself to you
You should do an hour long video of just you pruning trees.
Great milestone and a great video... right up my street with the recent purchase of a lockdown juniper from Greenwoods. Really enjoying the content of this channel and learning lots.....Thank you 👍
It was a privilege to have seen your very first video never get tired of watching 😎Dennis
loved the story your dad harry told once..
at a lecture and demo in germany you dad mentioned that you mist the leaves of the tree ..at the end of the lecture/demo a gentleman asked your dad ( why do you spray the tree with s.h.i.t )
still remember him telling us that ..LOL
Thanks Alan, a few of my Dad's stories were actually loosely based on real events lol !
Blimey 50 already. Such high quality content!
Congrats on reaching 50 videos, guys! I am a big fan of the quality content you produce. It’s really helpful for me, a beginner, not just to know how to do something, but when it’s right to do it. There’s lots of content available from overseas but yours is more relevant to me as we’re in the same part of the world. I came to visit the nursery in the summer and came home with a great little shohin sized deshojo, so I’d love it if you could put some content out around how to over-winter a small outdoor tree like this. Keep up the enthusiasm, it’s invaluable stuff!
Congratulations - 50 already! These videos are slick, organised and clear. Your so focussed on the trees, their health and development and passing on your skills and knowledge in a very, concise and easy to understand language. The balance for the viewer is just right, well for me at least. Did some classes at Greenwood back in the early 90's with your dad. Still have those leaflets for the years' workshops and camps! Managed to visit and speak with Paul earlier this year, very patient, both of you. Keep up this brilliant work. Hope to visit again, soon.
Awesome yet again, best bonsai videos out there, period! I will only watch you now, learnt so much. Thank you from South Yorkshire! Here’s to the next 50 vids
Love the videos but it's a pity you are using mostly larger specimen trees. Enjoyed it when you showed turning the smaller juniper into some shape.
I'm glad you like the videos. The size of the tree doesn't matter so much the technique and teaching is the same. After over 30 years in bonsai, of course I am glad to be working on larger more mature specimens.
Congrats on video 50. I know you bonsai professionals work quickly but Corin you were a blur today. Always looks a bit thin at this stage but I know you will work your magic and make it look great.
Congrats on 50th video another great one as usual i love the trimming one's and like to see the tree take shape and how they develop in the coming months .
Congratulations on the success of your growing channel! Your content has great material and is well edited. Cheers from Knoxville Tennessee USA.
Congratulations on your 50th video. They are greatly appreciated, always highly informative and entertaining. Each a mini master class.
The “lockdown project juniper” I bought from you on Monday has a little way to go to be as big as that one 😄
Awesome video as usual. I feel like as a beginner there’s a lot of conflicting information on trimming/pinching junipers so it’s nice you’re offering a platform to explain how you do your work.
Congratulations on 50 vids👍.
I love bonsai and would love to produce a raft, my other fav is a cascade. Have no trees as yet but have more confidence after watching each video. Next year will be on one of your courses. Once again congratulations Corin.
Congratulations on the 50th video. I haven't seen them all but enough to know that I really enjoy your presentation style and choice of content. I have just taken my copy of The Complete Book of Bonsai of the shelf to see that my wife gave it to me for Christmas 1990. I have visted Greenwood an several occations since then and I have a number of trees which I brought away from those visits. Here's to the next 50 videos and to the continuing success of Greenwood Bonsai Studios.
Great timing this one! Was looking at my 3 junipers at the weekend and thinking how they really could do with a thorough trim. Inspiration has struck - just need to get on and do it !
Hi Corin, congratulations on your 50th you tube movie. I am a Belgian fan and enjoy your interesting and educational videos. Keep it up!
Would it be possible to display the date of recording for each video so that the viewer knows better when to do which work on his bonsai?
Thanks in advance and I look forward to your next movie.
I am looking forward to seeing the initial wiring of this tree. Congratulations on reaching 50 videos!
Great video Corin! Super helpful. Wil you make a video how to care and maintain a Scots Pine bonsai? I mean all work for the growing season on single flush pines, would be very helpful. Take care!!
👍
Happy 50th and great channel. With these types of pruning videos is it possible to see a before and after photo and show them side by side at the end of the video. That way we can really appreciate the transformation :)
Your videos are always excellent, very professional, explanatory and informative. Very inspirational. Could you however make a few featuring shohin and young trees as I'm sure that many, like myself, are not fortunate enough to own large or specimen trees. Congrats on 50 videos and many subscribers. Cheers.
Hi Corrin, congratulations on your 50th video. I have enjoyed every single 1. This has intrigued me as I’m totally useless at juniper & pine bonsai. What I would like to know/see is your vision as to where the style of this tree will be in 2 years when you wire it. I look at this tree & don’t see much future in it. I look at some of the branches after you have trimmed them & think the foliage is way to far from the trunk to be of any use but you have left it for a reason. You obviously know before you start you work on a tree the finished image your aiming for but is it possible for you to draw your vision of another tree before you start any work on it in the future. I would’ve mercifully cut off way to much if this was my tree & been left with a mess.
Contacts for 50 videos. I wish you to do hundreds of videos. I am from Brisbane 🙏
Love your video, my friend. Can you make a video on how to develop the top o canopy of the tree?
I dropped my scissors the day after I bought em and dented the tip on our patio....not quite as posh as yours though lol
Congratulations on reaching the 50 mark. I appreciate the information you give. So much so that I have recommended your site to the members of my home club here in Campbell River, half way up the east coast of Vancouver Island, Canada, via our Facebook page.
One thing I do request is that you make it very clear as to the time of year when the video is made, such that viewers in other parts of the world can adjust to the appropriate season.
Thanks, Corin, another great video. I have recently acquired a juniper (possibly an Itoigawa). It was a bit neglected and very pot bound so I moved it up a pot size and have been keeping it in part shade, watering with dilute seaweed once a week. The colour is improving. Is it OK to do this kind of pruning now on a tree at this stage or should I just leave it until next year?
Congratz with your 50th .
Nice tot see you work on junipers at last 👍.
Q: when you pinch the growth of the foliage Pads is there a chanse that your tips get Brown ? Ik have tried it with parsonii and it did ...
Greetings
Dirk
Much less likely than pruning with scissors. If any its hardly noticeable, and not an issue, as this tree isn't being exhibited for many years yet.
Well Done on the 50 Video! I have a request can you explain some differences in general techniques on single flush pines vs multi flush pines
There is plenty on internet about this, here in the UK most twin flush pines don't do 2 flushes due to our short growing season. So most are treated more the same as single flush
So what is this time of the year when you’ve done trimming? Thanks
Hi 👋🏻 Corin .
I love your videos . What kind of shears are you using ? You said they were your favorite.
👏👏👏👏👏
Hello, great video lovely job, I like your scissor's where did you get those?
I use these,
www.bonsai.co.uk/product/stainless-steel-ryuga-rs-trimming-shear/
Did he mention the best time to trim junipers or did I miss it?
love your snips lol. but can you do different othern pines junipers maples. like I have young .cottoneaster. bald cypress. crabapple. white and red .both grow different. every thing on the net is starting to get the same. just purchased a wisteria absolutely nothing realy worth waching. but love what you do .and do realy help 👍👍
Will do, when we are working on these different species. Keep your eyes peeled for Pyracantha video coming up soon. We generally film what I'm working on, and of course pines, junipers and maples are very popular. But check out our videos on Euonymus and Hazel, for more unusual subjects !
Is there an update on this tree?
Can do mine now in September?
yes
😵💫🍎
I'm not a fan of either of those lowest branches.
