- In this video, Andrew shares a very important yet rarely covered tip about when to stop trimming deciduous bonsai in the end of the growing season. Like decandling on pines, the timing for this tip depends on your location, but with good timing we can assure that the regrowth on our deciduous bonsai has an opportunity to regrow, set buds and lignify before cold and dormancy arrive in autumn.

I feel safe applying deciduous techniques coming from you knowledge and experience. Thanks Andrew 🎉
Thanks so much for the kind words!
This reminds me to go out and do some necessary pruning on my deciduous trees. Good info, thanks.
The birch is lookin' good 👍🏽
Any time! Thanks!
Excellent video Andrew! All our club members at MBS should watch this.
Feel free to pass it on to the club!
Thanks for the video. Never knew this about final pruning 8ish weeks out before leaf drop. Thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
Great topic for discussion on our deciduous bonsai pruning! Here on the VA coast, I push it to 2nd or 3rd week of August with great success. We have a longer seasons, and ready to bonsai-shuffle to the greenhouse for any unexpected cold snaps.😅
Nice! Good to know the timing of your area!
Bailley got a friend! Congrats buddy!
Yes, Birch is 8 months old and brings the life to the party
Yeah, I don’t touch the potted birch after mid-July up here in Alaska. Even then, whatever grows from here out will most likely die back over winter. But it sure helps to rebalance the vigor. I’m really diggin your content, good sir.
Thanks for tuning in!
I appreciate you representing deciduous bonsai. I live in colorado and my entire bonsai collection has been from native nursery stock gathered over the years.
Awesome, happy to do it! We need more aspen bonsai!
Excellent info Andrew, really helpful !.. I wanted to also ask again about the hydraulic haul master working table you have in the Video.. you told me it was from Harbour Freight.. I had a look on their Site and they have the same table listed, BUT it Doesn’t have the Same Wheels on it as yours !…they are really Small wheels !.. did you Add these bigger wheels your self ?.. I’m really keen to get one of these, I’ve been looking for a good one for a long time. Thanks again for your help Andrew And keep up the good work. 🙏
My maples and ginkgos are some of my favorite trees
They're both fantastic tree species!
I made that mistake last year when I heavily pruned my European hornbeam late August and as a result had major dieback issues on the tops of the canopy where new buds didn't have time to set.. thanks for the reminder 😅
Oh no, pruning them early definitely helps to give them time to regrow!
That Birch is huge. Love them as bonsai.
They’re a fantastic species, I have a lot of them here at RAKUYŌ
@@rakuyobonsai I would like to see more videos with the others you have. I´m making two Betula pendula from seedling (now 6 years old) and bought a Betula utilis and chopped it down, to see if i can get new branches on it.
great info andrew, thanks for this. I better get busy!
You bet!
I think I love your dog!
They're pretty great, Bailey is my oldest and she is 4 years old, Birch is my youngest and he is 8 months old. They make every day exciting!
Thanks Andrew👍
You bet
Very useful information! Thanks. Great tree!
Glad it was useful! Thanks!
our friend under the cart wants to know when it's time to start walking the doggo lol
She got to run a couple miles at the park this morning so she’s recovering from all that fun!
👍👍
🙏🏼
Birch is so big (double entendre very much intended)! Has he calmed down on nipping Bailey’s tail?
Yes he's getting much better, and bigger haha!
Rewatching this trying to figure out if I can do another prune on my alder this year, and had a question. Does the vigor and responsiveness to cutting affect your timing? My alders grow very quickly and respond well to my cuts.
I'm leaning towards the "too late" side of things, as I'm 2-3 weeks past the timeline that you mention (adding ~1 week for being up the road from you), but still curious about the idea of how the species or particular tree might affect timing.
Yes, an alder might be able to be pruned this late. Especially if it is vigorous
How do I determine, or find out, when that date would be for my area in Greensboro, NC?
About 8 weeks before the first frost
Hey Andrew, same timeline window for collecting air layers right?
Yes, and the earlier the better!
