Just found your channel. Working with nursery stock has always scared me, so i really appreciate your thorough explanation and the pace of your videos. Very helpful. Thanks
Thank you for a great video! Really helpful in so many ways. Quick question: What are the measures for the pot you introduce in the video? Is it from any specific brand?
40 degrees f works out to be 4.4c , we get down to 4.4c here and our trees don't move. I'm thinking it must get colder for you then that if it snows. But none the less junipers can also handle snow. A tip to help them out a bit is too put them on the ground and surround the pot with pine bark mulch to help keep warmth around the roots as that's what gets affected not the foliage. But depending on pot size your juniper should be safe down too at least 25f if it's healthy and has a good root system.
Man I was told I could keep mine inside, and don’t keep it too close to the window because it’s too hot. I spray it with water almost everyday with a spray bottle and once a week I submerge the soiled pot in water until saturated. I keep it on the kitchen table where it’s surrounded by sunlight but it’s dying…it’s turning brown in the middle & the bristles are falling off when I touch them. Most of it’s still green but it’s about 20% dry & brown. What do I do? I spent about $250 on this thing.
What you not telling here is that the hardest part will be to balance top and bottom part of the tree, when top will be growing really fast and the bottom can even die back. Energy ballance especially can be seen in growing cascade style. The bottom part will be always have lack of strength and the top part will always have to much of it, rebalance of the tree is something that must be done all the time or your bottom branches always will be weak and in bad shape.
It's always so exciting to see what treasures are waiting to be discovered under the soil line. Turned out great, got any updates on this tree? It's been 2 years since the repotting. Did those roots grow on you?
I wish youtube would allow you to respond with photos. The tree is full of branches and ramification now. There is actually another video somewhere on the channel on healing large wounds and the tree made an appearance in that video. The roots are still there buy I'm still not sure on them even after 2 years. I will probably give them the chop if I'm honest.
Do you tell people in wheel chairs they should learn to walk with their legs? Having medical issues can sometimes make seemingly normal things difficult for others. But you enjoy your fully formed mouth and palette and your skills to not have air and speech pass through your nose.
Excellent!! Excellent video today Josh!!! Awesome tutorial on branch growth and development! The best explanation and visual context I have ever seen yet, and I have been watching a ton of you tube on bonsai! Thank you so much!! And I love your Munsters tattoos!! One of my favorite shows when I was kid.
I want to personally thank you so much for this informative video. I was worried about my juniper turning brown on the inside but all the outer foliages are green. This saved my "Emi-sama" from being disowned.
The growth on 1 trunk would need to be much lower then the other to make that kind of design work. You could potentially slowly push the growth on 1 side back over the years if this is something you really wanted to achieve. You could also do a Cascade with 1 trunk being the tail and use the other as an apex or even do one of those really far out twisty south-east Asia designs. There's a lot of options in there as long as you can identify them. How ever these trees were just a good example of you don't always need to use absolutely everything that's on the tree.
Helpful. I am new to bonsai and working primarily with wild grown materials. They can be quite different. Not trying to force all the bits into a composition makes sense.
