All the little trees turned out quite nicely, but the 3rd one got my vote. Thank you for sharing these techniques 👍✌️

@TerryErasmusbonsai 28 дней назад

Thanks so much Alfredo! Yes, I think I must agree with you although I think #4 has a lot of potential too. We shall see in the years to come.

Really fascinating work. Looks like very hard work applying the bends to the thicker branches. Lovely resulting movement in each tree, with so much variety of styles. Especially interesting how you tease the fibres apart when creating jins and sharis. How long will the trees take to recover after this intensive work? I would love to see an update in the years to come!

@TerryErasmusbonsai 27 дней назад

Thank you Sue, as always your comments are ever so detailed. Ideally when junipers are very young and still really flexible, bends and twists should be put into the trees. So now when they are much older it is very difficult or impossible to put very compact bends in but there are other avenues which can be explored. Depending on the tree I think recovery time could range from a few months to a year. In the tree #1 I did some rather drastic work during which some of the live vein might have been damaged, I’ll need to wait to see what happens over the next few months if anything weakens or dies on it. Another of the trees, I think #2, I didn’t do anything drastic really so that one should have no problems recovering quickly.

Good memories hearing Stone Lantern given that's where my obsession kicked off with a single 9 year old Chinese Elm ❤ #4 in this video definitely my favourite, great movement, taper and almost elegant trunk line... only thing that bothered me was the long jin near the top, so glad I watched to the end to see you get it sorted haha. Amazing work as always Terry!

@TerryErasmusbonsai 28 дней назад

Thanks so much Wesley! Yes I was in a rush, it was late and the moment I sat back and saw that Jin I knew it had to go. Thanks for watching to the end and not waiting for the short 😉😂

@eggybreadplease 28 дней назад

Smashing video, informative and well created. I’m inspired to add a juniper or two to my collection.

@TerryErasmusbonsai 28 дней назад

Thanks so much! They are an absolutely must any bonsai collection IMO. Just do it 😎

@geraldrandall1566 28 дней назад

Great work Terry. Would you not consider to air layer some of the branches in the season before working on such material? Seems to me a few good branches sacrificed which in time could have made nice bonsai.

@TerryErasmusbonsai 28 дней назад

Yes you most certainly can and in fact the Sargentii air layer very well Gerald, thanks for the comment. However that was not the purpose of this video.

Great work again on all those tress !! . Do you also sell the Large Jin scraper your using ?… I noticed its a dark handle long tool.. I’d like to get one of these. Thanks again. 👍

@TerryErasmusbonsai 29 дней назад

Thanks so much Chris. I do sell that tools yes, but the design has changed slightly. The handle is now wood and not metal. You can get it here. www.bonsaitree.co.za/products/jin-knife-circular-shape-large

hola muy buen trabajo,te queria preguntar por la broca que utilizastes con la dremel.donde comprarla y su nombre para buscarla.muchas felicitaciones por el canal me encanta aprendemos mucho

@TerryErasmusbonsai 26 дней назад

¡Muchas gracias! La parte que usé para tallar se llama Nibbler. Los tenemos en stock, pero también puedes pedirlos desde el Reino Unido.

@Mistyb118 16 дней назад

Hi Terry, thank you for the video. I see that you didn't put tape on the trunk before wiring it. Is tape mot necessary when wiring juniper trunks or should tape be used for certain juniper species?

@TerryErasmusbonsai 15 дней назад

That’s a great question and to answer it properly is beyond the scope of my fingers on a mobile phone 😊. However yes, you’re correct. Usually I would use raffia, I don’t use tape. This is needed for several reasons including protecting the bark from being damaged when you apply wire (during active growth) and to help prevent breaks in the bend. It depends on the severity of the bends and also the timing, ideally big bends would be done during active growth and not during dormancy. I also believe that raffia will keep moisture on these split or broken areas and help prevent drying out of these damaged areas so they can heal. I opted to not use raffia as I wanted to see when splits are beginning and the bark is not loose as it would be during summer for instance and so I didn’t have a need to protect it. Thanks for asking and for watching.

@DnHVid 16 дней назад

Great video, thank you! Really helpful tips for this delicate techniques. Is there a reason why you are not using raffia for bends like these? Also, could I bend a Taxus like tree nr 1 and 3? It has a straight trunk and I would like to make it into literati style. Cheers!

@TerryErasmusbonsai 10 дней назад

I am sorry but I have never worked on a taxus but I believe that once the branches are a particular age it will be very difficult to bend them without them snapping. So raffia will be a big help for sure.

@DnHVid 10 дней назад

@TerryErasmusbonsai I felt the taxus and it was quite firm indeed. Why did you not use raffia on your junipers?

@TerryErasmusbonsai 9 дней назад

@DnHVid I didn’t think it was necessary.
