wish i found this vid 8 weeks ago

"The longer we let this run, the thicker are branches will become" Mans a bloody poet.

Have watched countless of bonsai videos you are one of the best because you actually explain the whys which they help understanding the reason why we are doing certain things. Also you are able to do that by keeping it simple! Very good!! Keep standing out by keeping this approach. Thank you

Ive never had a true bonsai, just those crappy little glued in ones you can find at Walmart. But I was given a true juniper bonsai for Christmas, and I had no idea how particular their care was. I'm dedicated to not letting this gift go to waste, and your video helped me IMMENSELY! Thank you!

SOMETHING I FORGOT TO MENTION IN THE VIDEO : When i was talking about wire i mentioned about putting the wire on the opposite direction from its last application to create a sense of age. What i forgot to mention at this point was this is done a season or 2 apart to allow the original scarring to heal over properly, if you do this in the same season you will kill the tree as you will cut of the flow with an X in the the trunk. This is something that needs to be done with alot of caution. ive successfully done it on a few of my junipers now but wouldn't recommend anyone try it until they fully understand how to achieve it safely.

So good to hear about caring for bonsai in the Australian climate. Much needed info for us Aussies, so thankyou!

I just want to thank you for being so down to earth and making this a little easier on a newbie here. I am really enjoying the journey which is the whole point in doing bonsai. But if I can help a tree survive my journey along the way so much the better for the tree and for my pocket. 😆 Have a great day!

Finally I got a very good education how to take care of juniper. Thank you very much sir.

Thank you for an excellent video. This is the most comprehensive, informative and easy to follow video of the many I have viewed on RU-vid. You presentation was right on target for what I needed to understand when and how to care for and prune my 2 year old juniper bonsai. Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much! You, sir, are an excellent professor. You shared clearly the most pertinent knowledge you have reaped by means of your many years of hands-on experience. I really appreciate this video.

I went from knowing nothing about my new bonsai tree to knowing where to start. Thank you so much for the video!!

Thank you! Great video! It covered so much information and explained WHY you do what you do, and how it influences the plant's future health and look. Thank you for keeping it simple!!

I got my first juniper today! I’m glad I watched this when I did, thank you!

My brother was heavily into bonsai. It always interested me & I recently was gifted a juniper. Great info here thz

Got a new juniper think I know what I need to know but stumbled across this and thank you so much for such an in depth 'crash course'!!! This is unbelievably helpful and you have a new subscriber for sure - thank you great work mate!!

I’m learning so much from you. I love your style of teaching. How you explain and give rationale for what you do. I just recently started reading and watching everything bonsai. I’m fascinated by this art. My first project is a blue star juniper. Keep up the good work. New subscriber!

This is the most well explained and concise explanation on caring for Jupiners that ive seen. So helpful. Thank you!

This is a first class lecture you've given here. I've just buy today my first Blue Point Juniper and I'm really very grateful to you on the way you explained everything with so much detail. Keep up the great job buddy.

Lots of great info. Especially about the watering. People really struggle with that for some reason.

Thank you for a clear concise presentation! Learned many new things about a juniper bonsai!!!!

Hi , I like this video because you explain things going back to basic scientific facts. Not many bonsai experts will talk about gravity columns or aerobic and anaerobic soil mixtures. As a person who has spent the last forty years looking after sick humans, you talk my language. Thanks. I will be watching you more often.

super helpful, will probably watch this 3 or 4 times. Thanks

Thank you for explaining this so well! I'm starting my first Bonsai soon, I'm so grateful to have this as a resource.

Great video mate, not many people want to give out this info, been growing for a few years now n you just cleared up the problems I've had with my more mature junipers, thanks

Very interesting hearing someone else has noticed the one month seasonal delay thats been happening, also when it's someone on the direct opposite side of the planet. Wonderful information, hoping my tree isn't too far gone!

Probably THE best bsic info vid for bonsai I've ever come across. The info was spot on, and gives beginners, ( and intermediates) great, true info on Junipers. Great work. I've been trying ( with disasterous results ) for almost 2 decades to learn, several species of trees that I have, and my collection is basically, an illustration of mistakes, from year to year, including this year. I am just now finding your channel, ( wish I had earlier ) and have, indeed, picked up some good info. My biggest issues are usually, timing for processes like heavy pruning, light trimming in different species, and styling decisions for present and future. I have Trident maples, several types of Junipers, ( my 2 young Shimpaku are awful, my Hinoki is VERY small pre-bonsai, so not styled yet ) and 2 Chinese elms, several type of Japanese maples, etc...all testimonials of my past mistakes...LOL.. Thanks for the vid, I'll be checking more of your channel out as well.

Thanks dude, awesome video. Just got my first bonsai and I got a lot of great info from you. I'm a lot less daunted and much more keen to learn now!

What a great informative video - understanding the whys makes me actually remember all the details without getting lost. I’m glad I’m watching it now as I just got a mini pre-bonsai of a Japanese juniper that I’ll try and make a mame forest/landscape out of

Thank your for your simple clear advice. Glad to have found your channel.

I love the accent, I've watched this video over and over not only to learn about bonsai but to appreciate the interesting way you speak.

Five minutes and already loving it. Stellar video

Compreshensive in one video, thank you very much!

Excellent, well-organized, relevant and perfectly presented lecture. Conversational without being too wordy and very educational without being boring. Subscribed! Thank you.

Absolutely invaluable information for us new to junipers! Thanks for such a detailed deep dive, mate!

Great video!! Thank you for all the advice. I just bought my first bonsai yesterday and I've got a lot to learn

Good stuff. I learned a bunch from this video thank you. Big fan of your videos and podcasts.

Incredible advice! I learned so much, thank you :)

15 minutes in and I feel like an expert on bonsai trees. Amazing job explaining everything!!! Thanks!!

Amazing information. I'll use all of it. Thank you.

this is all very helpful, thank you for sharing your experience.

Thank you so much. I'm new to bonsai and therefore somewhat confused about all of the points you've covered in this video. I'm much less confused now! My poor junipers thank you. I very much appreciate your bullet point style presentation. It allowed me to take notes in a way that makes sense, unlike most other videos. Really excellent job.

Excellent teacher. The best bonsai explanation i have seen.

Wow, such an amazing video and presentation of information. Thank you!

I just bought my first bonsai from Lowes... I really enjoyed watching your video and learning the different techniques that worked. Ty for being open & giving different options. 😊 Awesome video!! I wish I knew 2 buy from the nursery first... 🤪🤪

Thank you sir your program was excellent, so informative

New to Bonsais, watched several videos, but this is by far very informative. Subscribed!

A vast amount of great information, thanks!

This was sooooo helpful!! I learned a few really interesting things about how junipers grow. I'm new to the hobby 😅 The most interesting piece of info was probably how the mixture of the soil affects how thick your roots grow. Very interesting! loved the video!

Great knowledge thanks for the information 👍

Thanks for this video very thorough & informative.

thank you!!! very thorough explanation. i was contemplating cutting my newly bought juniper but now ill leave it to flourish and grow to thicken up even if it might not be my desired shape atm. maybe repotting it into a larger training pot

This video is tremendously helpful, thank you.

Awesome video very informative thank you!!

Live near the equator and your video has helped a ton...thanks man!

Great video fella I’m fast becoming a big fan of your channel dude. Your a great help for newbie’s like me 👍👍👍

Woooow, thank you sooooo very much!... You video is literary the best and the most informative I've ever seen! So-so-so useful!... I'm a starter, even befor that, learning theory, everyone show how to cut and shape, but so little information how to actually take care of the plant! Thank you very much for this great video!!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

So helpful and informal! Thank you!

I only recently subscribed but already I’ve gained an incredible amount of bonsai knowledge. Your explanations of what you’re doing and WHY are very understandable. I look forward to much more. Thank you!

Thank for making this video it super useful

Your info is so helpful Josh. Thanks so much

Great info. Thanks!

Best juniper advice I’ve watched and read. Instant subscriber! -Thank you from California

Great info!

Thanks very informational and straight forward

Brilliant. Thank you.

Great help. Well done.

Very helpful video. I purchased my first Bonsai and I'm a bit apprehensive about it but I have been a farmer so I'm hoping my green thumb will work with this.

Really Helpful Video! Thanks for the information 😄

Great explanations. I watch allot of other people, but no one took the time to explain the why we do things. I was just copying them. Now I understand why.

Excellent informative video, thanks.

Very informative! Thank you!

I wish I would've seen this vid before I committed 14:40 on my first bonsai! Great content, subscribed!!

Hey man I really want to thank you and appreciate the time and effort that you put into this video very informative and I check it out from time to time to make sure that I am doing the correct things needed for my Bonsai's to be healthy and thriving. Keep it up bro

Great information. Thank You!

great info thanks

Very, very useful.

Great video.. I got a bonsai for Xmas this year and instantly loved it but I know nothing about it. I have watched many videos and this one by far is the best diy video out there thanks again mate 👍

Amazing video!

This video was very informative and helpful for me as a beginner. I live in New York in the Hudson Valley. I recently plucked 2 young junipers straight from the woods. They are young enough that I can shape them to how I want as they grow, and old enough that they have an established trunk, (one is about 2 feet, the other around 2 3/4 feet tall), and it's a smaller investment in case I mess something up. I also plucked some very young maples. Their seeds have germinated all over the place this season (Spring 2022), so they are very young. Same deal, I can experiment with them without spending a whole lot of money, plus I know where they came from. Wish me luck!

I definitely learned some things from this video.

Thank you for letting me know

Very informative.. thanks a ton.

Wow very nice so informative. I think all beginners should watch this. You guys should do the same video but with tropical trees.

A lot of info, all in one place. Great video. Thanks.

Fantastic. Thanks for the insight

Top notch video mate 👌🏼

I like his style because his bonsai is look natural and not over worked on the tree. And he has full knowledge if juniper!!!

Great video my man!!

Thanks bro your a legend
