This was the MOST in depth video about maples in all aspects. Blows all the others outta the water. Straight forward and to the point. I will be rewatching several times I’m sure, LOTS of information! Thanks!!!!

@TheBonsaiGarden Год назад

Thank you kindly for that. I tried to cram in as much good info as I could. Glad it was helpful 🙏

I have a collection of Japanese Maples planted in my yard, but I treat them like bonsais in a pot. In winter, I like to examine the branching of each one and prune it to be very sculptural and expose the architecture. Trees connect us to nature more than any other plant life. People in the UK seem to have a great appreciation for all that is horticulture. I like that!

Smashing video Jason, You have some fabulous Acers! They're the queen of Bonsai, My favourite type!! 👍😎

@TheBonsaiGarden Год назад

Thank you kindly 🙏 I used to write haiku poetry and always considered oaks were the kings of trees, massive, powerful, aged, stately. Silver birches to me were the queens: upright, regal and graceful in their white bark with black diamond darts and weeping habit. Japanese maples were to my mind the showy princesses - much smaller in stature, delicate, and spectacularly beautiful.

@XaviersBonsaiRetreat Год назад

Gosh that was in depth and very interesting. If I show you leaf pictures of my different maples will you have a go at identifying them please :)

@TheBonsaiGarden Год назад

I can try but at best it will be a guess 👍

Nice video Jason. I constantly come across ugly grafts. Struggle to find decent maples now. I've been after a couple of cultivars recently but been let down. Bi hoo is one on the list for me and seiryu

@TheBonsaiGarden 2 месяца назад

Both great cultivars - bi-hoo with its yellow stems and Seiryu with its lacy leaf with red tinges to the edges.

@TonysBonsai Год назад

nice video mate. I've got 5 or 6 of the JM seeds you sent me growing, which I'm really chuffed about!

@TheBonsaiGarden Год назад

That’s great. I have a tray full of them. Hope they make it through the warmer weather.

@maryweber4176 Год назад

WOW. So many gorgeous trees. And some sighting of beautiful koi!!

@TheBonsaiGarden Год назад

They were on their best behaviour though there is a shot where one pulls a handbrake turn in the background.

@maryweber4176 Год назад

@@TheBonsaiGarden So, being that I was out riding in my trail bike today, exactly what is a handbrake turn, and it sounds as though I should avoid one?

@TheBonsaiGarden Год назад

It’s a manoeuvre in a car where it brakes and turns suddenly. The fish did the same in the background. Showing off.

@maryweber4176 Год назад

@@TheBonsaiGarden Yes, I do recall that move. That is one talented fish!

@JustJane1972 Год назад

Really enjoyed this video, thank you for taking the time to put it together. I have a palmatum garnet which is beautiful, but would love a bonsai maple. Do you propagate from cuttings? I've never noticed seeds on my plant.

@TheBonsaiGarden Год назад

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I don’t have success trying to grow from cuttings, but some with seeds. Only more mature trees develop seeds, which you can collect and plant from late autumn/fall onwards.

@JustJane1972 Год назад

@@TheBonsaiGarden thanks 😊 I appreciate the insight. Stops me trying anymore. 🤣

@malsrfun2956 10 месяцев назад

Loved this video! I'm new to bonsai, but have quite a few Japanese maples (you can never have too many). Why aren't the weeping varieties and dissectum leaves used in bonsai?

@TheBonsaiGarden 10 месяцев назад

I believe these tend to be more prone to burn in the sun, though there are some examples. Corin Tomlinson of Greenwood Bonsai has a well known one which is a green dissecting.

@malsrfun2956 10 месяцев назад

I recently saw a really nice one at Eisie-in (?) Bonsai but I don't know if it belonged to Bjorn or a client.

@BobMatthews Год назад

Thank you Jason, that was such a brilliant video on my favourite trees - so informative and interesting👍 but I have a question........ When would be the best time to do a major cut? I have a 5 year old Orange Dream that has two trunks that are too close together and start about 1" above the soil level - one of the trunks has to go but I want to get the timing right. The tree is very healthy and growing strong and I'm tempted to do it now, but is it the right time?

@TheBonsaiGarden Год назад

Thanks Bob. Two factors affect your decision: not wasting the time and energy of the tree developing unwanted foliage verses the best time for healing. Timing is everything in bonsai pruning. We must strike the delicate balance between maintaining the tree's health and promoting its desired shape. Bonsai pruning is all about selective removal. We carefully eliminate unnecessary branches and foliage, allowing the remaining ones to flourish and maintain a sense of proportion. It's a dance between shaping and preserving the natural beauty of the tree. I should say early summer for healing wounds - be sure to use cut paste to prevent too much sap loss, or winter/early spring to see the structure of the tree and prevent wasting stored energy.

@BobMatthews Год назад

@@TheBonsaiGarden Thank you Jason for your detailed response, I think it's time to get the tools out :) I will of coarse be using cut paste and keeping my fingers crossed for some rapid healing. All the best, Bob.
