Thanks for sharing, I've tried multiple times to get japanese maple cuttings to root. I take many at a time and none ever root. Oh well, ill keep trying. Did these take root for you?
@BonsaiNorthwest 5 күн бұрын
Most of them failed, but I think a few in this batch are still viable - although I don't know if they actually rooted; the stems still look green/alive. We'll see if they wake up in the spring. I did another batch of Japanese Maple 'Yuri Hime' cuttings after this one. Most failed, but I did have two (of maybe 12) cuttings take root. The two that took root were actually in a container that I put underneath my (bright) grow light indoors. Crossing my fingers that they wake up in the spring. So I've concluded that maybe I didn't give the other cuttings enough light. I kept them in mostly shade. I'm going to try again next growing season, this time giving the cuttings more light.

Agree totally, but as a beginner myself I think maybe you have to go thru the "every tree" phase to figure out what you like. I can't stand the nana procumbens juniper, yet don't we all have one? I just passed my two off to other beginners with a sigh of relief... 😅

Ha, impressive that you still had procumbens to pass off and didn't kill them. Nice work. Nothing wrong with procumbens! I really liked a Ryan Neil video where he was working on his first (or one of his first) procumbens junipers - I couldn't believe he still had it! I was thinking the same thing after making this video. I'm guessing most beginners do need to go through that beginner phase of working with suboptimal trees, and there's nothing wrong with that. I have invested plenty of time in trees that weren't great, and were never going to be great, but I'm sure I learned something from them. I wonder also how I'll feel about my trees in the future. Although I think they're good trees now, maybe my taste will evolve and I'll decide I need to start over again with better material. It's hard to know how I'll feel in a few years.
@malsrfun2956 9 күн бұрын
@BonsaiNorthwest you have nice trees and a great channel. The second phase of being a beginner is realizing that you are the person who lives with and cares for the trees, so other people's opinions on your trees don't really matter. You don't have to give a reason for what you like. And what you like will probably change over the years. I'm only a few years into bonsai, but it's the same as showing dogs and horses, which I've done for a long time.

@@malsrfun2956 Thanks! I agree. I went through a phase where I thought I needed to plant most all of my trees in the ground to thicken my trunks, since they weren't thick enough in proportion to their heights, like I read in books and saw online. Then I read a great article about "bonsai obesity" and got the book "Four Seasons of Bonsai"; that's when I realized that a bonsai didn't have to have a massive trunk to be a good bonsai, and that it was "okay" for me to appreciate/make trees to my liking. So I think I'm finally there - although I'm now showing my trees on my channel and appreciate viewer's input, I create trees primarily for myself.

Yep, I understand and can sympathize with your sentiment. In fact, it reminds me that one reason that I was hesitant to buy my dwarf larch that I ended up loving so much was the risk - there was a possibility that I was going to spend $83 on a tree and then kill it, and didn't want to risk the failure. And one can even feel this way about "free" yamadori - there's actually a neat old western larch that I'd like to collect. And I think I could collect it responsibly, meaning I think there's a good chance I could keep it alive. But I haven't collected it yet - I'd hate to kill an cool old tree that's decades old.

I guess the point is for people starting, don't grab just any tree because it is free or cheap, look for material with potential. Or else end up with a bunch of crap trees. Tiny cuttings can have E potential as mame bonsai if they are developed correctly, like your roadside juniper procumbens, beautiful little tree, didn't look like much, but in the right hands makes up a nice piece. Nice topic😊

Thank you, glad you liked the video. Yep, that's another good way to putting it - be choosy about what material you start with. Something I've been thinking about since I made this video is how it can be hard to know, as a bonsai beginner, what a good investment is though, so it might just be a necessary step for many beginners to invest some time in trees that just don't pan out, and that's fine. I've certainly spent plenty of time/energy/money on trees that I later decided just weren't going to result in much, but I guess I learned something in the process. It's also hard to know what you'll value in the future. I wonder sometimes if in five years I will have decided that all the trees that I currently have are medicore and will have started over with better material!

Interesting what you said about the white flecks on the needles, because i have a collected pinus uncinata (that's a Pyreneean black pine) here in Andorra, and it has the same, despite being otherwise healthy. It's not on all the needles or anything. Let me know if you get any more info on that!
@BonsaiNorthwest 14 күн бұрын
After a close reexamination of the needles, some more research and input from a few knowledgeable viewers, I've decided the white spots are the dried resin flecks characteristic of bristlecone pines, and aren't caused by an insect or pathogen. I'm unfamiliar with pinus uncinata, perhaps it exhibits similar behavior to bristlecone pines, but I'd closely examine your pine to see if it's an insect to be careful. I know of no other native North American pines that do this. Bristlecone pines are an unusual species - they grow at very high elevations in harsh environments, have very long-lived needles, and can live to very old ages 4000+ years.

Nice snap! I totally agree with bradbuss: don't repot this year (ie. season). Personally, I'd have a really hard time not at least checking the roots in Spring, but I've killed several pines by getting too enthusiastic. If you do check the roots, keep the rootball intact, maybe chopstick off a tiny bit of the outside soil just to check for girdling roots, then surround the existing roots in mostly pumice for the next year or two, either in the same pot or in a similar sized/shaped clay pot (a classic garden-center reddish unglazed flower pot). Once it's producing new growth, then you can do a real repot in Spring of 2026. Bristlecones are extremely slow-growing, so it won't show damage for several months--by then it's already been dead for months. It looks like it's not root-bound, so I'd wait a full 18 months to repot--and given how organic that soil is, water sparingly. And yeah, the little white dots are a natural feature of Bristlecones. Love your channel, by the way!
@BonsaiNorthwest 15 күн бұрын
Thanks for your input, really appreciate it. Between you and bradbuss, I'm convinced: I'm going to wait on repoting this one this spring, and plan on a repot in Spring 2026. I might do as you suggest this spring - take the tree out of the pot, take a bit off of the outside of the root ball, and put it in a large terra cotta pot that dries quickly, with some pumice/bonsai substrate around the outside, to encourage the root ball to dry quickly. Glad you are enoying the channel!

The white dots are typical on healthy bristlecones. The foliage is not infested with scale, but merely sap. Don’t scrape them off! My sole surviving collected bristlecone has had them all over since I found it. It has been in 100% pumice for over two years (this is its 3rd winter) since I brought it home and is thriving with new buds and needle growth every spring. The sap speckles have remained present throughout and, not only are they a part of the tree’s charming character, they indicate that the tree is thriving. I’ve been waiting for your bristlecone’s “snap video” and I’m convinced it was a necessary move in the initial styling. It even looks better, but I’m not sure how long or if a new leader will develop. It is fortunate you had lower growth to allow you to snap off the top. Budback may develop slowly but the remaining lower branches are sure to benefit from newfound energy. You took off the majority of the foliage, so I wouldn’t rush into repotting your tree in the coming spring. Let it gain some energy and healthy momentum until the roots have figured out what happened. If you decide to repot it, I’d keep the existing rootball in place and surround it with pure pumice in a larger container so the roots have plenty of room to spread without sitting in water. It is important to keep the symbiotic association between the established mycorrhiza in the rootball and feeder roots to enable nourishment in the spring. These are tough, slow-growing trees that know how to survive harsh environments in their natural settings. So, if it were my tree, I’d be patient with it and, above all, not be tempted to overwater. You can fertilize in the spring as it is waking up from dormancy just as you would any of your pines… just be careful to have good drainage and avoid overwatering. Unfortunately, I had my first collected bristlecone in 50-50 pumice/akadama that seemed to survive its first winter, but I watched the needles go from light green to yellow to brown and dead by the end of summer. I’m sure the roots drowned from water retention and/or the rootball had been disturbed enough that it didn’t stand a chance of a nourishing survival. Too bad it had to die, but I learned from my mistakes.
@BonsaiNorthwest 16 күн бұрын
Thanks for your comment - I appreciate hearing about your experience. I did a careful examination of the white flecks, and checked out pine scale images online, and I think they are indeed just dried sap flecks like you say - I can't find anything scale-like that would have caused them. I removed a few flecks to see what would happen, and more sap comes out, so yeah, I think removing them could be harmful. I'm about 50/50 on repoting into bonsai substrate this spring. Repoting this spring seems like the higher risk/higher reward option (getting those roots more oxygen sooner), whereas not repoting is the safer option (as long as I'm diligent about only watering when needed).

The one sure identifier for me is the white sap speckling and the BC all had them. Both BC and Limber are five needle pines and have similar appearance.

I examined the white specks and they did appear to simply be resin flecks (I couldn't find anything insect-like causing them). But I'm going to look again, so thanks for the alert!

So I might keep them fairly full, like they are now.

Also, once I plant them together, I anticipate some branches eventually getting shaded out and weakening/dying, so thinning might happen naturally/realistically.
