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
Graham, I recognize the time effort and potential frustration of making videos on RU-vid. 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🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
Just watched this vid again and am even more impressed. This is truly a unique planting. Hope to watch it flourish in the coming years. "Venerable" seems the best way for me to describe this work. "Awe" is what I feel when looking at it. This piece is a treasure.
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?
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?
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 :)
