Evergreen Bonsai Improvement - Chinese Juniper - Greenwood Bonsai

[@Goshtkub]

Corin this improvement series is fantastic please keep them coming

[@cknight5917]

Wow. This is why we watch the experts. I was like OMG at the start as half the tree came off...but wow....what an amazing transformation . Thanks Corin. More like this please.

[@denhardy7238]

Corin gets better and better 😎Dennis

[@sylviahardy4568]

What a transformation! Corin, your calm precision and explanation of every move is always an absolute joy 😊

[@davidcoulson6904]

Loved to have seen the owners face when he came to pick it up but your the man. Hopefully we will see it when it recovers.

[@ninanobody2479]

My oh my - what an improvement on this yet ordinary tree 😍

[@gregoryh4601]

Very Awesome Work on this Bonsai Tree 👍

[@judlpd]

Courageous decisions lead to marvellous outcomes. At least when Corin is the one deciding.

[@Camren67]

I really like your improvement series. I like how the crescent pot curves into the tree. With your cutting, wiring and styling, it's a new tree.

[@pip110.5]

Amazing Corin. Your vids are the best of all the other Bonsai vloggers by far, I only wished that I lived a little closer to Greenwood’s. Keep em coming my friend. 👌

[@aflatminor]

Wowser! I'll bet the owner is initially shocked at the size difference but awed at the same time, 1000% better than the original! 😍👍👌

[@luigiluigi2098]

When you started cutting off branches was thinking "what's he doing". Fair play that's why people come to Greenwood it was inspired. Huge improvement. You're a genius.

[@denhardy7238]

What a fantastic imagination the artist has

[@jeffbanning734]

Thanks Corin - a great encouragement for the amateur bonsaist whose tendency would be to work around the faults because we don't necessarily have the vision or the confidence to take what seems like a more radical approach. Going backwards to move forwards is a skill that requires courage so showing how it can be done is a really great contribution.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks for that Jeff

[@keithstroud6162]

it amazes me how you can see a tree in a tree and design, the enhancment its made is awesome as always great job

[@titanbengal]

It was a very nice tree to begin with and would have been happy to keep it that way but after watching this I can honestly say corin has worked his magic and has totally transformed this tree.

[@Jspec1983]

Fantastic decisions and amazing transformation well done!

[@777greglee]

Loving these videos. Thank you. Really appreciate the time you take to do it.

[@glynhopping7102]

Stunning work, Corin - A true master making a difficult makeover look so easy - Brilliant

[@DavidAllan-zd8wm]

What a transformation! An excellent styling Corin. Completely agree with the pot choice also 👍

[@angieb6899]

Absolutely stunning result with the pot shape and tree design. Love these videos. 👩🏻‍🌾🪴

[@orchestralmockups]

Wow! Such a great transformation Corin. I’m a novice and I purchased a Chinese Juniper from you earlier this year and it is now a blob! I will have to bring it back to you so that you can perform your magic!

[@MarksJapaneseGarden5]

Amazing to see most the tree removed just shows i'm still missing loads and need to open my eye's wider to the possibilities of trees . Excellent work again Corin loving the video's , hi Josh mate.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks Mark

[@suttonsplash14]

Good choice of pot that looks great!

[@themichaellerner]

This kind of video, showing how one can transform a difficult blob of a tree into something quite stylish and attractive is so inspirational for so many of us, your viewers, who only get to work with such material. Please keep doing more of these. (BTW, I do think the reddish, smaller crescent looked more appropriate for this tree).

[@denhardy7238]

Thinking on the foot fantastic you are whatching genius fantastic 😎Dennis

[@jimdoyel5044]

Big change in this "bush". Great job. Really enjoy watching these improvement videos.

[@StephenAyre-n7v]

Absolutely amazing corin. Love your magic

[@Nightsoil626]

Think this is one of the best videos i've seen, really helpful for myself who doesn't know what the hell i'm doing, thankyou

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Glad you liked it!

[@emiliosaita6704]

Spettacolare trasformazione! Ottimo lavoro complimenti 😮

[@Rene_Voortwist]

One of your subscribers mentioned that your videos have a Bob Ross vibe to them. Now that I watches this video, I think he is right. And I mean that as a compliment. It makes your videos very pleasant to watch and really interesting and educational at the same time. Great transformation!

[@gazzhunter]

I was hoping you’d pick the crescent pot as soon as you offered it up!!! Love it Corin. Amazing work as always

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

I know you've got a good eye for design Gaz

[@danbanham728]

Excellent, be bold in all you do! a lovely juniper, great work there Corin.

[@JohnThurlbeck]

I admire the owner's courage, but then you are the expert! 👍

[@265petsar]

Thanks, Corin. I have a Chinese juniper, which was twenty years old when I moved it to a large pond basket to grow on. Unfortunately, I became very ill over the past four years, which has left me limited ability to use my arms and hands. The tree has grown amazingly with the help of plenty of moss, which I layered into my bonsai gravel when repotting. Being afraid of how to approach it due to my disability, I'm now thinking of seeing if I can physically do it, as your video has helped , and encouraged me so much. Thank you, and take care....John (Belfast)

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks John, glad it has helped and encouraged you to sort yours out !

[@frazerskinner1714]

A pleasure to what as always,I like this new format but also like your usual style just as much. As a beginner having the confidence to remove branches I think/know are wrong is for me one of the harder things about styling trees.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MAMLeers]

My first thought, looking at this tree, was: "Less is more"... Well, it happened! Sometimes you have to be brave instead of keep having a "bad feeling" with a tree. Generally, it will not improve just like that and just by itself. For me, I couldn't agree more with the choices you have made, mr Corin, and that goes for the bowl also. Let's hope there will not be too much juvenile growth. In future, some more refined wiring of the little twigs, will make this a beautiful and impressive little tree, I'm sure. And for the next few years, there will be enough growing space. Great job, great video, very instructive and useful. Thanks for sharing, once again!

[@Anne-LiseH]

Excellent work on a difficult subject.

[@ravaginggoatman]

No going back now!! A very dramatic transformation. Love your work.

[@BobPatterson-g4c]

Lovely video Corin, please keep them coming, Thankyou.

[@adsminibuild5791]

Wow. Beautiful transformation right tree right pot for sure 👌

[@TenzoBonsai]

Really nice transformation!

[@kuriseon]

Fantastic makeover. And Josh really did a great job filming this and bringing attention to the details with that zoom! Excellent!!

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

What a brilliant way to start a weekend. These series of videos are great for demonstrating just what you can achieve with a little bit of thought and understanding. Thank you :)

[@danielcarter8390]

you've done it again Corin perfect

[@peterpolakovic870]

i dont know what i love more, that beard or the tree ☺thanks for the great videos.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

They both need a trim !!!

[@denhardy7238]

Drastic but wow 😎Dennis

[@panterachild3206]

1:13-2:13 - imagine being dressed down by Corin ~ wonder how he would describe me lol Brilliant mind and great talent thanks for this video

[@robertchandler7439]

Another very helpful video especially for those of us without much experience. I like this series because most of my bonsai are not superb examples, and any tips on how to deal with flaws is welcomed and fun to put into practice. Here in Thailand 🇹🇭

[@denhardy7238]

What a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours watching this video 😎Dennis

[@robjuson]

Excellent Corin, as always, a very enjoyable and informative series of videos. Thank you.

[@almac2598]

Thanks Corin. A super video. I think your customer is going to be very happy with that styling. What a change! I've never seen a pot that shape before and it made the composition.

[@fredmanfv]

Yeah man. I love this improvement series idea. Plz keep it going. Ah...awesome composition BTW👌

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks! Will do!

[@johnstarkey4959]

Excellent result, pot choice is spot too 👌

[@davemead4504]

Amazing transformation corin!

Fantastic video, learned to see new options. Michigan USA

[@Vaasth]

wow it is beatiful in that pot

[@dariuszjarosz752]

Corin = superman bonsai👍

[@Omco-ry5xi]

Good choice of pot.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

I think so too!

[@sajithcc7786]

Excellent work, shows how you visualize the end result at the start of work

[@markwoodard659]

You’re a wizard Harry!

[@joegarland4885]

Corin it’s all been said, fantastic outcome to a problem tree.

[@Robert-kv2nx]

Looks great in that pot, thank you for sharing.

[@李羅飛]

很棒的改作。

[@zimartiste1]

Well done....fantastic

[@mcbabs7495]

Un grand merci pour la vidéo!

[@thenaturecreater8906]

Corin you are awsome. I don't know how you saw a semi cascade in it. But you did😮

[@phillipwaterman5721]

Very nice job corin thanks

[@roberthannigan4382]

Great job

[@bartw7655]

i think you should have used pot 18.46 smaller one maybe but def that color .it contrasted really well with the foliage

[@samanthalonghurst-howes1465]

I am in awe of your talent! Xxx

[@steampunkvampyre]

Oh wow stunning !!

[@estebanrivera3973]

Amazing ❤

[@raymondbirds2392]

Some job that. Lovely work

[@kemaldervish2405]

Appreciate an autumn repot is manageable, the tree looked healthy at the start - but there was not much discussion about the root reduction or after care. hopefully others do not trip over if they try to carry out this much work on a juniper right now

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Actually October is a fine time to do this sort of work to evergreens in the UK. The root reduction was no big issue, as is aftercare.

[@kemaldervish2405]

@greenwoodbonsaistudio again, as an instructional series you want to mention these things. No doubt you know what you are doing, it more for others

[@Nizzon.]

Amazing.

[@thomaschiu435]

Babe wake up there's a new greenwood bonsai video out 😂

[@melodyivey8066]

Reminds me of fluffing a Xmas tree

[@JattSinghRandhawa]

Ok great - one more question of turntable - how high and low does it go.? Also does the plate on top tilt with a lever or always straight ? And does one have to assemble it ?…. As always thanks for guidance and teaching , best wishes

[@nelhano]

Very nice tree now. I am a bit confused about the Root cutting at this time of the year….

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Autumn root pruning on evergreens in UK is common practice.

[@maaktgeenholuit]

Nice video, again. Small tip: better lower that workingtable or your back will get really mad at you.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Always done at height for the viewers benefit.

[@JattSinghRandhawa]

Great video as always ; thnaks, question - where to buy that turntable tripod ? Do you sell them ? If not please advise where I can get similar style …..thank you

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Yes, they are on our website here -www.bonsai.co.uk/product/bonsai-tripod-turntable/

[@JattSinghRandhawa]

Another quick question please - the big silver scissors seems awesome too, where to buy that from please , thnaks

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

They are on our website here -www.bonsai.co.uk/product/greenwood-bonsai-scissors-2/

[@charlieb4011]

How will this tree react to a repot this time of year?

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

@@charlieb4011 fine. Autumn re potting for evergreens is common practice in the UK

[@charlieb4011]

@@greenwoodbonsaistudio wow ok didn't know that thanks. Does this apply to tropical evergreens also? Was thinking ficus and a buddhist pine

[@GrahamJones-zy2ri]

It would be interesting and helpful to know the cost of this sort of transformation please

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

This one was an hours work, currently charged at £60, plus £35 for the pot so £95 all in

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂

[@Mountainviewbonsai]

Is this work done pre- dormancy in autumn?

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Yep, early Oct

well done.... but why are your hands so nice and clean?

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Probably because I don't work as hard as you do Sean

[@lynngolubic2654]

I am Chuffed with the Crescent Pot and it isn't even my tree!!!!

[@steampunkvampyre]

what would this kind of work cost me Corin?

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

This was an hours work currently £60 plus £35 for the pot

[@bonsai_life_style]

Poore dude hade hart attack during watching video ]]]]

[@alexvoicetravels]

The pot ruins it for me

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

You need to forward plan, the pot makes it, imagine it in a years time once it has filled out, once the tree has more visual weight it will balance even better.

[@Tulsadoom100]

First I thought is he ruining the tree but it came out quit nice. But I must admit I don't like the pot, to loud to big to much of a distraction.

[@davidcoulson6904]

Loved to have seen the owners face when he came to pick it up but your the man. Hopefully we will see it when it recovers.
