Awesome man - my kids have just watched the old Karate Kid DVD's.
They loved Miyagi's Bonsai trees - I've just bought them 6 small shrubbs to have a go with.

Bonsai Tree Care and Creation -- Chinese Elm Bonsai Treeby chasnsx57,398 views

I guess you have discovered that cutting junipers with scissors causes the tips to turn brown shortly after cutting. Pinching would acheive the form without browning or dyeback from cutting...yes? Nice material at any rate.

@TheJimford: I have a video on pinching -- see my channel. What I have also discovered in my years in bonsai is that pinching does not encourage vigorous growth, and is useless for filling in gaps in branches and bulking up foliage pads. I also have a recent follow up video on this tree which clearly shows the beneficial effect of shearing the tree to build density.

I have a Satsuki Azalea that's about 5 to 7 inches tall and has branches extending to make it about a foot wide. It's already been potted and I've heard that once bonsais are potted, their trunks dont grow anymore. I just wanted to know if this was true and if growth stops vertically and horizontally or is it just horizontally. Also, can I decide on the style of the tree now or is it too late to do that?
sidDarth92 1 year ago
@sidDarth92 You can change the style of a tree at any time through pruning, wiring the branches, and changing the angle at which it is potted. It is true that the trunk will thicken very little once the tree is in a bonsai pot. If you want a thick trunk, plant the tree in a large plastic tub or in the ground for a few years.

hi chasnsx. love your vids. i've had a chinese elm for a while, which i seem to have managed to keep alive! should i dare get a juniper yet? or will it take more to care for than my limited experience?
admantt 1 year ago
@admantt Junipers are just as easy as Chinese Elms as long as you get the soil right. See my other videos for the right soil mix. Chinese Elms will tolerate poorly draining or bad soil, but Junipers won't.
