In this video, Jason demonstrates how to bend larger branches on your bonsai trees with the use of raffia. He shows how to prepare raffia and how to properly wrap it around the branches on your bonsai. Raffia works great as added protection for the cambium layer on your branches. This enables you to make more aggressive bends on your bonsai without the fear of killing a branch. Hosted by Jason Chan of Eastern Leaf.

Heck yes, that video was helpful! I need to bend a pretty thick branch. This is exactly the technique I needed. Thanks!

@edubb786 4 дня назад

Thanks for the vid! That’s a smart way to hold your wire roll while wiring! Lol Need to make some critical bends in my big prostrata and my raffia just came in!

@iamaduckquack 4 года назад

So the raffia is like one of those weightlifting belts to keep everything tight and in place and supported?

@judejavelosa2231 3 года назад

Very clear demo on how to prepare and use the rafia.

This wasn't around when I was into bonsai. I was a Pre-Raffialite.

@drewber565 Год назад

I started with Bonsai, before the wu-flu attack. I had one tree die, from the mites, and another die for some reason. So, needless to say, I'm still a beginner. This Raffia lesson should be the first thing taught in Bonsai care, yet I have never heard of it, or seen anything about it, in my beginner's book, or in any other videos. So, THANK YOU! I really enjoy your videos and have subscribed.

@konradc.9007 2 года назад

I put rafia around it and wired it strongly, towards the end I think I overdid it and I heard the ugly crack.... luckily it is under the raffia and it gets pushed bakc into place, but hopefuly nothing to bad happens.

I really need to get some wire and do some bending with the juniper i have. Its my first bonsai and im worried ill kill it. I had it in a big pot to fill out the last two years. I just potted it in a nice 10 inch bonsai pot. Not 100 percent happy with its position. Definately a skill that requires alot of practice and study.

@Boru06 4 года назад

Hi, Don't worry, you wont kill it. Just remember this, everything wants to live. Go for it, if you make a mistake, or just aren't happy with the style, do something else. It's your tree, your experience, so it's gonna be cool no matter what.

@tonimagery Год назад

Awesome tip! Will this work with brittle branches like bougainvillea branches?

@Anytyme06 2 года назад

Will this restrict the branch from getting thicker?

@waynesabo Месяц назад

Hi. After watching your Video on how to use raffia I used it to bend the trunk on my Brazilian Rain Tree. Can you tell me about how long I need to let it on? Thanks

@scottharris7400 4 года назад

Great tutorial vid. 1 question. How long will the raffia stay on?

@q-listq-tourarchives1185 2 года назад

Until you take it off.

@BenBSeattle 4 года назад

I wonder how well 45mil pond liner will work =) I got some left over. Might have to try that in one my videos. Thanks Jason.

@easternleaf 4 года назад

@BenBSeattle 4 года назад

@@easternleaf thanks Jason. Dude I've been at home and am running out of videos on youtube to watch. So I appreciate your content.

@gregoryh4601 2 года назад

Jason. Can you use this technique on a thick Trunk Japanese Maple Trees? My trunk size is 1” to 1 1/2” thick. But it is Straight and going to do Thread grafting this Spring. Thanks. Greg of Ohio

@Ollieslife101 4 дня назад

Hey if anyone knows...how much do you use like how thick should the raffia be on the branch..I wrapped one and it's still cracked the bark..and no I did not way over bend or bend too fast. I think I just didn't have enough raffia..what do you think can anyone help me out for next spring for me

@victortaboada2058 3 года назад

I have seen that some people use tape (or raffia tape as they call it) in lieu of raffia, or even on top of the raffia...any thoughts on that Jason? Surely just tape would be faster and cleaner?

@drewber565 Год назад

I am not a Bonsai expert. I was looking at buying some Raffia. On the site, where I found it, there was an explanation, as to why tape should not be used. Tape has adhesive and might tear bark or branch material and cause other damage. But, you're right that it would be faster. After watching this video, it looks like the Raffia strands are probably stronger than tape, thus better for protecting in a drastic bend.

@joeydupre6153 3 месяца назад

So, roughly how long would that branch take to set? I'm in zone 9a. Thanks.

@wyshbon 3 года назад

what gauge is the wire used?

@sagebonsai 3 года назад

I was wondering how to apply raffa properly, but I have one important thing that you left out. How do you properly add raffa if you haven't had long enough strands. I ask because my spring project will to trun my mothers massive yard lilac bush into something more beautiful then just a ordinary shrub. For years she been wanting me to improve it and give it a new life.
