I am relatively new (5 years) to Bonsai, though I have gardened and cared for (mostly) fruit trees much longer. I started my bonsai practice on a steady diet of Heron's Bonsai videos, because they are confidence-building for beginners, but since I discovered yours, and moved into "begintermediate" status with my trees, you are my new favorite content creator. Your instruction is clear, concise, heavy on the "why" which I find very helpful, and low on condescension (also very helpful). I find myself very drawn to oaks, which have wonderful flexibility in young limbs, adaptability to conditions when it comes to leaf size, and present such a rugged strong profile. But I also find them surprisingly finicky, and have suffered some heart-breaking losses of oaks I was developing. I was wondering if you could make an instruction video particularly to address the harvesting (or down potting) and care of taproot trees, like oaks, who's strength lies in their ability to send powerful roots deep, and who can behave like Sampson with his hair cut off when you sever those taproots. How do I get them to develop a web of shallow roots and be happy in a pot? (PS... I am in a hot dry summer, cool wet winter, frost but no snow, coastal climate)
This was one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen on how to prune a bonsai. Especially a late stage one. Thank you. I’m going to put these techniques to practice immediately on my 18 year old white pine bonsai.

Perfect timing Jelle - I was just thinking when the best time to prune would be. Does this timing also work for gradually reducing sacrifice branches and pushing growth lower down?
Hello, what do you think? Is this technique also successful for other two needle- pines like Pinus mugo and Pinus uncinata ? Thx for sharing your knowledge 😊
Hallo Jelle, tolles und aufschlussreiches Video, vielen Dank! Hast du ein ähnliches Video zur Mädchenkiefer? Das würde mich interessieren welche Tipps, wann und wie du eine Mädchenkiefer schneidest :) VG

Another excellent video Jelle. I'm still building my knowledge with pines so anything like this I will watch 'over and over' :)
I appreciate your analytical approach. Thank you for sharing.

Great Video! I was wondering how I could increase the candle size of pines? In my collection I have a JWP and a Dwarf Mugo.
Perfect timing Jelle - I was just thinking when the best time to prune would be. Does this timing also work for gradually reducing sacrifice branches and pushing growth lower down?
1 how often you can do such pruning?
2. The needles are very short. Do you apply fertilizers? When, which, how?
Hi Jelle, Does this also apply for the white pine?
Hi Jelle, is this method working for black pine, too?
How do you prune mugo pines
Hello, what do you think? Is this technique also successful for other two needle- pines like Pinus mugo and Pinus uncinata ? Thx for sharing your knowledge 😊
Thank you, Jelle for this video. Do you have an idea about cutting back Pinus mugo, P. uncinata?

Würde mich auch interessieren
Do you do this to all your pines ?
Can you prune the leggy candles even if they already got buds? Does a new bud appear again this year?
Yes! That is pretty much the point made in the video
@@GrowingBonsai😂haha yes I know, but I’ve heard and read So much that you can’t after the candels sprung and if there is terminal buds.
