    So good and seemingly simple. The magic is visualizing what the tree will look like before the process begins. I marvel at the shape of the trunk in this bonsai example. Nice work!

      Well said! People often forego this thinking step and then find styling hard. Once you have decided what the endresult roughly should be like, it is a matter of putting branches in place and removing others. I think Tuesday a short comes out that you will like.

    What soil mix do you use for your juniper cuttings?

      @GrowingBonsai  Před 2 lety +3

      Hi bob, all my trees are in a mix of diatomous earth, broken expanded ./shale? pumice and ground pine bark. And whatever happens to be mixed in.
      IF I still have th plant, I will show it again. But I intend to sell a whole bunch of smaller trees.

    Yet again great viewing Jelle. You have reminded me to get out into the garden and tackle my junipers. For some reason I always struggle to keep my juniper thriving once I work on them. Perhaps I should leave some growth on them next time I prune :)

    How long do you leave the wires on for?

    • @GrowingBonsai
      @GrowingBonsai  Před rokem

      Untill the branch has set, which is a none-answer. I leave them on untill I see the wire starting to be swallowed. Once the wire starts to look flat on the branch side, you know that the branch has expanded and is growing around the wire. The latest is when thinner (say 1mm) wire is swallowed up to half its thickness.
      In terms of time this could be within a few months, or only after a year. The tree from the video has not been unwired, but needs to be unwired the next weeks.
