Bonsaify | Making Mini Pines Even Smaller: Summer Cutback

Описание: Eric gets to work decandling 4 Japanese Black Pine bonsai that he intends to keep small as mame. It may seem a bit early in the season for this work, but San Francisco tends toward cool summers. Additionally, there are young pines, so he's not that worried about decandling them early. His goal is to remove coarse spring growth and get these little pines going, creating finer growth on their way to becoming amazing mame.

00:01:50 Eric shows an examples of tree that he already decandled, and that was also candle cut in its second year and made a lot of little buds.

00:02:20 Eric puts Tree #1 through its first decandle; it's a 3 year old that Eric will cut back really hard to keep growth really compact.

00:04:35 What will the tree do in reaction to the work Eric just completed?

00:05:06 Tree #2 is also 3 years old, but it has previously been decandled in year 2. Regardless, Eric also gives it a hard cut back.

00:07:26 The multiplication effect of candle cutting.

00:07:54 Cleaning up a messy little tree #3! A close-up of the work, and removing some small candles.

00:10:05 Vigorous example with longer extension of growth. Eric cuts it "way down low".

00:11:42 The final example is a tiny 1 year old tree #4 that Eric makes even smaller!
