E144. Early spring Pruning; Dawn Redwoods

[@oachkatzlsmum]

Your Dawn Redwood forest made me keen on this kind of tree and thanks to your your advice (5 rules for dawn redwood) it developed gorgeous. Thanks Candice and kind regards from Austria 🙋‍♀️

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Glad to hear! I’d love to see your DRW your developing!

[@apostlewoody]

This is one of your best video, top quality information. Thank you very much for your effort and time. ✌

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Thank you for watching! Glad to see you find it helpful!

[@bobcatbonsai]

Such a lovely forest! These trees are budding out very nicely. Another great explanation based tutorial!

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Thank you Matt!

[@tacobonsai]

Don Redwood sounds like an old detective novel character. That's really well put and great information on the trees. I will probably watch this video as I prune any bald cypress I can collect this year. They look so good just after this pruning. Thanks for sharing with us Candice!

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Love me a good bald cypress ❤️

A hot cup of tea to listen to a great lecture by Professor Candice. Excellent information. This is a nice-looking forest that you are developing.

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Thank you St. Thomas!

Such great information here! I have a 1 1/2 year old Dawn redwood that I love. I have a few seedlings that are popping through the soil now too. This is all very helpful!

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Glad you found it useful Dave for your own DRW’s ❤️

[@lindaclark7278]

Really helpful. Look forward to the next video on these.

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

As do I! Nothing like the DRWs all flushed out!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

An exciting year ahead for the forest!!

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Hopefully for all the trees!

[@TonysBonsai]

Looking good Candice. I like the different thicknesses, and I think you are right in trying to maintain those differences.

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Yes! I can’t wait to see them all flushed out!

[@Bonsaicrazy]

Great video Candice. Your explanation really well put and easy for us to all follow. Thanks for the cool lesson

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Thank you! I have enjoyed seeing you work yours ❤️

[@Bonsaicrazy]

@@Candice.BonsaiScience thank you 🙏👍👍👍

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

More great information!

[@robryan9841]

Good tutorial 👏👏👏

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@qwerty42nite]

very good. cutters need to be sharp so the cutting doesn't squat the branch being cut. Take longer to heal.

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

An excellent presentation Candice and you beat mine by one day :)

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Lol I’ll be waiting to watch!

[@bonsaibythesea]

Still waiting for baby’s fingers crossed 😅

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Lol that’s our life story.

[@Ashley-ti6mp]

When can we work on their roots? I want to do a new forest composition.

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Repotting and root work is always when buds just start to swell.

[@samhoskins8706]

I have a fair amount of bald cypress I'm developing, and I really appreciate your videos on the subject. You talk often about controlling apical growth. My forest is as tall as I wanted to be. As the shoots grow up because the tree wants to go taller, should I continually prune those back through the growth season? Will that help fatten the lower trunk? Or should I hold off on those until later?

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

If it’s as tall as you want you’ll want to move from pruning to pinching new growth at the strong apex.

[@TecnixX]

Sorry, i dont unverstand everything you say. But when is the right time to make a really big trunk chop? Great Video! 🎉

[@stevepalmer03]
