Catchy title - made me click straight away to avoid disaster with my tree. 😂 Also looking forward to the Tony Bonsai Extravaganza on Saturday 17th June.

So true - I have lost some really nice trees due to last years heatwave and this years cold streak. BUT I am thankful that all the trees started and developed from my own cuttings appear to be fine. This can be a challenging hobby sometimes :)

Nice vid mate, I was looking at the apex at the start of the vid and thought it needed adjustment and you did it. Nice trunk movement on Dawn - curves in the right places.

Timely. I need to do something with mine. I also made the mistake of assuming Dawn and Coast had similar requirements. I have now learnt that lesson! Ps your audio seems to have deteriorated lately. Some clips sound tinny but it changes at different parts of your uploads.
@XaviersBonsaiRetreat
@XaviersBonsaiRetreat Год назад
Oh dear - I wish I was a little more technically minded. i shall look into it and see if I can find a theme about the sound. i am really at a loss. Great to hear you too have learnt the difference.

Those trees are gorgeous 😍 What I haven’t told you, up to now, Xavier: My dawn redwood is looking like a christmas tree, this time of the year. I positioned some hooks, to bring the branches downwards, because I hesitate to wire this tree… 😅 Works quite well, by the way. 😊 Cheers
@XaviersBonsaiRetreat
@XaviersBonsaiRetreat Год назад
Another picture I need to see - I'm certain. I have wired these safely over many years. Just wait until the fronds drop and then remove again in March. The weather is cooking me at the moment and I am having to water three time a day too!!

I do love the shape of this tree mate. It's nice to see a different style than a bolt upright one. I have to say though, I'm not a fan of the supporting root under the first curve. I think it could look much more mature and complete without it

Greetings Xavier.. your tree looks great. I’m curious as to how much sun your tree is getting? Meaning… is it full sun, semi-shade? Roughly how many hours?? Reason I ask is because I’m over here in Switzerland.. our spring was VERY wet and cool..and now we have been very dry and hot but I am still not getting the deep “red/brown” in the newly developed branches. My tree is in semi-shade with probably ~5ish hours of direct sunlight before starting to get shading. Maybe I need more light? Thanks for the great videos.. have watched a few of them this evening. Cheers.
@XaviersBonsaiRetreat
@XaviersBonsaiRetreat Год назад
I wouldn't be too concerned yet - I have done this process into early july and still had time for new shoots to lignify. Your lighting seems fine. Mine get morning and late afternoon sun. I do make sure they stay out of the peak sun so the roots never get dried out. Thanks for the support and I would love to see some pictures :)
@XoshBitt
@XoshBitt Год назад
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat Thanks so much for the reply! I actually noticed today a few burned frons.. we had a real scorcher of a day on Sunday. Maybe he needs even a bit more shade. I’ll keep a closer eye on him. I have got him on an automated drip system watering him pretty heavily. I’ll get a video of him and post it from my other RU-vid channel. Thanks again and appreciate your content. Cheers!

I never realised that pruning a dawn redwood has a bit in common with de-candling a conifer. Now I know why mine haven't responded to pruning like my other deciduous conifer species, bald cypress. Is right now a good time to prune them (I live in a zone 7b in north america)? Don Javier thank you for sharing your beautiful trees.
@XaviersBonsaiRetreat
@XaviersBonsaiRetreat Год назад
Hi Rex. No good on zones but if you are in the early summer and the shoots are that lovely reddy colour and there are divisions then you should be fine until first week of July. It is all about giving the tree time to set and lignify the new shoots produced before Autumn takes away the fronds. 'The Don'...I like it :)
