@@aluckyman1475 I was going to respond in a comment of how this severely weakens the tree even though it heals itself. However the two comments before yours took it to a whole new level. Your comment made me laugh 😂✌🏼💚
Love the visual appeal but I'd worry too much for the health of the tree. The shock of cutting the main inner workings in the truck seems a bit drastic. Just start gradually bending your bonsai when it's a baby. Dont rush the process. Bonsai are meant to take a long time with lots if love to become beautiful ❤
A valid concern, but fear not! For as long as the deep cuts mend quickly and fully at the surface, this operation should likely succeed. Much like coral, the living part of trees is merely the outermost layer (perhaps layers). The tree's vascular system is just below the bark and forms the outermost ring or layer. The core of the tree primarily provides structural support, as it consists of layer upon layer of fibrous material left behind by the tree's yearly growth. Provided it remains protected from agents which would cause it to structurally break down,(fungus, bacteria, insects) the core will continue to serve its purpose. That's how trees can continue to live (often broken) even when hollow, yet quickly die if you cut a shallow groove all the way around the trunk.
I agree. Cutting seems a bit drastic, and scarring around the bark isn't aesthetically pleasing. The Japanese learned the art of Bonsai from the Chinese, but the Japanese took it to another level. I doubt they'd use this "hurried" technique.
What variety trees can be used? Is it a hard wood tree or a soft wood? The bonsai at 4:00 looks like a fern... can some one please mention the varieties that can tolerate this degree of engineering ??
Yes it does, just exactly as if your veins and arteries were cut, but you went to the hospital to Have them reattached and reconnected. Some trees are strong enough to _"sew"_ their vascular system and make it work again. Tho, I don't think this tactic is appropriate nor healthy and safe for the living being.
I do bonsai and this is just terrible. This is for impatient people. I feel bad for the trees. If you’re watching this Please don’t do this. Start them young and you can wire them or clip and grow to add any movement you would like.
@@arthurdent15 one of those morons that humanize trees, not realizing if done correctly, bonsai get pampered and are more likely to survive hundreds of years longer than trees growing naturally.
gods : human should respect nature and tree, they make them alive human : (torturing tree) .... but i love bonsai gods : okay.. lets prepare the apocalypse
As long as you work sterile and make perfectly flat cuts, this should have a fairly high success rate. Hardwood are dead cells, the cambium is below the bark. As long as there's no infection and contact, they will merge. The Japanese cut along the fiber to train hardwood branches. They drive a knife into the branch so it splits. I would generally do neither for a trunk, it might work but if it doesn't you lose years, if not decades of growth.
There are three sizes to bonsai basically in English it's small can fit in the palm of your hand or medium can sit on a small table or desk without taking too much room or large which actually varies from 4ft tall to 8 ft tall depending on the artist the tree and the vision
