This technique is the true bravery test. Ive had to pace around my backyard for a while to get hyped up to cut some branches off before. Id probably have to be drunk or something to have enough balls to try this 😂

@ianmorrison9480 Год назад

Wow, I’m new to this channel, I love it. Jerome is clear, concise, gets on with the work, really knows his art and makes it so fascinating yet achievable. Inspiring. Bring it on.

@BlueJayBonsai Год назад

Wow! Big bold technique for 2023! 🐦💙

@raymondplodzien7459 Год назад

Now this one I can’t wait to see an update on. I saw others do this technique but it is scary! Good job Jerome.

@WeareTheBonsaiSupply Год назад

Thank you Raymond🙏 I can’t wait to see what happens 🤞

@TonysBonsai Год назад

Hi Jerome. I tried this technique last year just using cuts instead of wedges and it works really well on deciduous material (field maple and beech) and it can produce a lovely fairly tight smooth curve.

@alessandromassimo5717 Год назад

i'd have done it one wedge at the time, big part of this technique is perfect coesion between layers. works good with pines because the dont really have "veins", in a juniper is better to open a shari and eat wood directly from the trunk

@timdady4660 Год назад

So glad you are trying it out , I have watched the video as well, if it was I , I would have cut a little deeper to bring the top underneath the hight of the bend , but who am I just my thoughts, Great video and really looking forward to updates . Thank you and happy new year from the UK .

@edmilkovitz297 Год назад

Well I’m curious if it survives first, but I do like the design. Would look cool in the future in a similar design as the picture.

The bonsai program is special, greetings from a hobby from Indonesia

@AlMitchell-yu8tv Год назад

I followed what you were doing, but the music was the star of this movie. :o)

Beautiful bonsai friends

@karinpetersen8330 Год назад

Seen it many times but never the end result. Thanks 4 sharing

@erickcruz1539 Год назад

Very useful thanks ❤❤❤

@bonsai.ukraine Год назад

Very interesting to see the updates 🙂

@oswaldotobon8057 Год назад

Happy new year 🎉 ✨️ 💛

@Chris-oq6kn Год назад

Ive seen that video and wanted to try that out also. But im glad u did 🤣 before me. Cant wait to see what happens. It would be a great technique for much larger trunks or ones that cant bend soo much. I think ive seen an old video with ryan neil doing severe bends like this but cant be sure.

@paveljah Год назад

thanks for doing this, I have seen this technique filmed many times by asian bonsai dudes, but never seen any follow ups or healed wound shots after.

@michaelmccarthy4077 Год назад

Interested to see what will develop. It doesn't seem to me that it will fuse in a way that will look natural, I would expect to see a noticeable callous on the trunk. If it fuses nicely, I still think you can do the original design concept, you may need to get a large rock and grind out an area for the majority of the roots to go into, but I think it is doable.

@JanicasEnsq Год назад

It looks amazing. Nice change of plans in the middle of the process. It looked like you made significant less deep cuts than the exemple, maybe if you went deeper it would be more curvy, like you wanna. Anyway, congrats for the nice project and all your work. You're a power couple! Success!

@bobmccarlie382 Год назад

The tree that you showed the technique being done on was a podocarpus in Taiwan. I’m not sure Alberta spruce is as high a water mobility tree as podocarpus, so it might not work as well. Also your cuts weren’t as deep as the demo tree’s. So that would be easier for the spruce to recover from. I’m interested in seeing how your experiment turns out. :)

@WeareTheBonsaiSupply Год назад

You are right Bob, the tree in the video is a podacarpus. I choose the Alberta because it was standing around, time will tell I guess 🙂

@LuisRojas-rs6pv Год назад

I think it will. Big trees seem to handle more pruning and cuts.

@boym8123 Год назад

Saw same video earlier .... Got excited and broke a tree. Failed on a piece of wood now im here . Hi

@johnpereira9594 Год назад

Be interesting to see how it turns out

@iPheek Год назад

I thought you were going to trunk chop when you pulled out the saw 😂

@user-br8qs2oe7b 5 месяцев назад

Do you have the updated video of this tree?

@jeffhochman9940 Год назад

Hello it's Jeff from the comedy night

@anmayo917 11 месяцев назад

Is there an update on the tree?

@juliesmith1874 Год назад

I’m surprised it bent that far because the trunk looked pretty fat to me. It’ll be interesting to see what it looks like in a year.

@briankahl8375 Год назад

Very nice. Can you share what materials you wrapped the trunk with?

@joshuagraham716 Год назад

Would this work on Olives ?!?

@johndavid5246 11 месяцев назад

How did this one turn out?

@KennetDeBondt Год назад

It works on deciduous too: I tried.

@simonjakobsson1004 Год назад

Any updates on this one?

@clayjones4105 Год назад

so i have tried this 5 times on coniferious material , 3 survived , 2 did not , the ones that survived were in full sun and , i wrapped them in grafting tape then a bicycle innertube , i believe the heat generated from the black innertube helped in the healing , like black pots do with roots ,they did get like a reverse taper in that spot but filled out in the next year or so , anyway good luck , hope it works out

@petesullivan3301 Год назад

Do you think it will work on a Chinese elm? Trunk area is about 1/2 thick ? Need a bend that may take 3 cuts.

@johnhetherington1253 8 месяцев назад

Did it work?

@WeareTheBonsaiSupply 8 месяцев назад

Still a little early to tell, I will peak in January. Most likely it did though it is an old technique

@IMHobby121 9 месяцев назад

I am just beginning all of this bonsai stuff. What is the best Ficus bonsai soil and fertilizer? Thanks so much and God bless! I hope this tree makes it.

@WeareTheBonsaiSupply 9 месяцев назад

Welcome to this wonderful hobby! This is the soil and fertilizer I recommend you give a try. thebonsaisupply.com/collections/bonsai-soil

@scipio109 Год назад

Gerome have you ever tried air layering this type of spruce to improve the nebari?

@WeareTheBonsaiSupply Год назад

Hi 👋🏻 not yet, but I’m positive it would work

@987654ok Год назад

Hi Jerome, very nice try, I also saw similar technique online and waiting for the right time to try this. What would you say the aftercare is in these kind of situations?

@WeareTheBonsaiSupply Год назад

Hey Alex! Keep it out of wind and above freezing.

@mikesenuty7162 Год назад

Update please, I feel that there are so many deep cuts to the main trunk that it might not heal and ultimately be the demise of the tree.

@WeareTheBonsaiSupply Год назад

This technique is very commonly used in pines, junipers, ficus , and podocarpus. It is still alive and growing. It will take 1-2 years to show an update and see a change

@zofiblanc7042 Год назад

updates pleasssssee. i want to bend my mulberry trunk and i need to see an update on this🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@WeareTheBonsaiSupply Год назад

There is no update yet. Things like this take time perhaps 1-3 years. Also, mulberry might not be a good candidate for this technique. However, pines and ficus are great

@angryzombie8088 Год назад

I did a "minor version" of this technique on the branch of my Juniper & Bougainvillea using a knife instead of a saw. So far none of the branch is dying. I didnt try yet on the trunk, maybe I will try it on my Bougainvillea because their trunk is Unbendable. Wrapping the cut with plastic film are better than aluminium foil because insect can get in the aluminium foil & its not good at retaining moisture.

@BylliPierce Год назад

Why do you think it wouldn’t work for deciduous species? I’ve seen some grafting where they fuse pretty nicely

@alessandromassimo5717 Год назад

maybe is due to lack of flexibilty

@theinvestorjourney2204 7 месяцев назад

Intro music also used by google ad 🤯

@WeareTheBonsaiSupply 7 месяцев назад

Yup but we had it first 😆

@wilson.Angler1869 Год назад

Hi Jerome it's nice and all that but wont the baubles all fall of now.

@jinjohn2572 Год назад

aie... les conifères ne réagissent pas comme les ficus et autres arbres tropicaux... J'ai bien peur que les 3/4 du tronc et branches ne sèchent... je suis curieux de voir la suite. Merci pour la vidéo et bonne année
