Gees what a difference you made to this poor tree. I would've thrown it away...shows you what I know. Love how you used the leggy growth to create movement and pads. Beautiful video mate👍
Great video Corin you seem to have made the small amount of foliage look fuller than it really is, the dead branch will look fantastic when finished and turned white with lime sulphur, I think a lot of people would have cut it off which would be a shame as it create unique character. Thanks for video Corin.
Thank you so much for this demonstration. I struggle all the time with my trees as to what to do with them. Gives me confidence and hope that I will eventually get some where.
I dunno of this reference will make any sense in UK but you have the Bob Ross, joy of paining vibe of bonsai instructors. (this is a compliment) I keep waiting for a happy little branch refrecne when whispering about branch movement😂
White and black pines rule! They’re such an elegant tree. 🌳 Great work. Awesome demonstration. I would make the Jin shorter but it looks amazing. Also great song plz can we know name of the song and artist ?
Great film, sorry, but you should wear eye protection when using any wire brush. In my trade, a friend got a sliver of brass in his eye ended up in Moorfields Eye hospital london to remove it.
I left it that long to keep the way it arches over. If shortened it would be more upright. But of course the new owner can always reduce it if they prefer.
Isn't the jin a little bit overbearing? Are you counting on the new growth to counter balance it or why did you not choose to shorten it a bit and just leave a smaller jin?
yes, your questions raises 3 things to consider 1) Yes, of course foliage with get fuller with more density, so will balance the Jin in future 2) I left it this lengthy because then it arches over and frames the tree and looks most dramatic, if it it was shorter you'd loose the movement. 3) Once new owner buys it they can reduce the Jin, thats their choice (although not mine when I styled it) however, if I cut it back it cannot easily be stuck back on !
