In this video Corin takes a Cedar of Lebanon and Styles it. This tree was purchased from a retired collector, and was overdue a re-design and re-pot. Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE Website - www.bonsai.co.uk Music by Apple co.
Watched again I must of watched this instruction time and time and have come to appreciate the small things like a tilt, a bend , remove that jin then the correct pot choice...Outstanding. Keep it up Corin..Thanks.
Yet Another fantastic tutorial from the Bonsai Master himself, I have to say Corin from Greenwoods Bonsai is one of the easiest guys to follow on You Tube and so knowledgeable too Keep up the good wk ;-)
The sign of a true master is making something look effortless and you did just that Corin, the skill to see the image of the tree and to transform what was there. Very impressive.
I've got 2 cuttings of Lebanon cedar. Seeing new growth on them this spring!....one will be bonsai and the other will be grown inground to use for propagation (provided they both servive). Years of training ahead. Looking forward to the work! Great video and awesome tree!
Great looking tree and I liked the change in camera view this time having it higher above your shoulder made it easier to see what you were working on. Keep up the good work 💪
Really nice job. I'm not sure how much planning goes into the project before he films it but the confidence in his work is really cool to witness! Cheers!
Cheers Rick, Actually no planning, I like to just start off and discover what the tree has to offer ! Its a more real experience for me and for viewers.
when i was young i did the course for beginners at greenwood studio and also the afternoon one...still have the paper i was given afterwards showing when to feed and when to re pot. its a bit yellow round the edges now due to its age..BUT i still remember that day. shaped my first bonsai using a choice from the nursery one for the morning session and one for the afternoon......that tree look s very nice after it was re shaped and potted thanks corin
Agree on the choice of pot; alternatively a very simple rounded rectangle "trough" might have worked (kind of cliché for conifers of course). And the first time I've seen someone demonstrate gripping onto the wire with pliers to bend a branch. I had started to wonder whether I was the only one doing that ... ;-)
Lovely tree. Public Enemy No1 AKA Vine Weevil got mine last Spring despite anti VW treatment. It was about 2/3 the size of this one. Gutted. I replaced it with a seedling last summer, now about 30 cm and doing well. Thanks for the video.
I love cedrus trees and cedrus bonsai. I'm training a cedrus that's a 25years old garden plant with good potential and have grown on, from seed, many cedrus atlantica. I got the seeds of a cedrus atlantica glauca tree in the garden. Great video 👍
Great Video! Thanks for all your content. I would love to hear about how the cedar has done over time. What sort of support did the tree need after that much root pruning?
My favorite bonsaist. But with C libani it's always such a waste not to express the unique habit of the species: main branches creating great horizontal planes of foliage. This character is even more striking and handsome in bonsai when the horizontal pad composition works with the angular and flowing trunk, This was a lost opportunity. Come on Corin, you're our number ONE.
Thanks, But bonsai isn't a direct copy of the same species in nature. Its an artistic expression. I have 2 other large cedars that are styled more as you mention, as their branch structure suits that style. With this one the style was initially more dictated by the movement in the trunk, Therefore I went with a more flowing branch arrangement. Glad you like the vid's
@@greenwoodbonsaistudio Thanks for not being offended: you are a great inspiration to me and I have picked up great tips- like the tilt here which totally MAKES the tree.
Very interesting video and a great improvement in the style. I have a Deodar cedar that was planted in my mother's garden that I took out last year. It is still very much alive but has not put on much growth. I know cedars are a bit sulky. Is this to be expected?
Muchas gracias por la lección. Tengo una pregunta: ¿Los cedros se pueden acodar? Tengo uno con el que poder hacer un precioso bunjin, pero...es un injerto y tiene una base horrorosa. no hay mucha información en la web sobre esta especie, y menos sobre si se puede acodar.
Must say I'm impressed with your skills. But Ancient Lebanese Cedar trees does not look crooked like that at all. By the way, Lebanese Cedar are steeped thousands of years of history in the Middle East, like the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, that should have contained the Covenant.
Yes, I know I love Cedars and have seen many large specimens. But bonsai is not about just copying nature, but making an artistic representation of it.
@@murray821 I know what you mean watching a master at work is enthralling I watched Peter chan earlier this week doing what he calls refinement and its nothing like this
