Black Pine Initial Styling - Greenwood Bonsai

In this video Corin restyles a Japanese Black Pine. This pine had been grown from seed 20 years ago & is now ready for its initial styling.
After thinning out the tree, wire is applied to give shape and structure to the branches, beginning the trees life as bonsai.

I really find myself drawn to your methods and rational for how you develop trees. There is lots of content out there pertaining to the same stuff but I find your videos at the tops of my list for both education and entertainment. I suppose everyone has a personal style, which makes the world go around. I am very appreciative of yours. Thanks.

[@johnpereira9594]

Great demonstration. Enjoyable from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@yeyang7518]

Love the camera work and the lovely collection of trees!

[@NFSCfan]

Gorgeous tree. You have such a good eye Corin. And you explain your thought process so well - great demonstrator thank you sir.

[@philtudor6079]

Inspirational, Educational, Sensational. !! a brilliant tutorial for those of us that think we already know about Bonsai. We are never too old, and it's never too late to learn. Keep it coming Corin. Thank You for sharing your knowledge.

[@doghouseclassics6835]

Thankyou Corin.

[@davidmorgan3508]

Aussie Dave here, nice transfer from wild and wolly pine to something beautiful in just a few minutes . In time it will make a amazing bonsai 👍

[@allanchurm]

thank you again for showing in detail the proper way to wire and shape a bonsai

[@pete1820]

I saw this pine when I dropped into the shop the other week and did wonder what you had in mind for it! yet again another good demonstration on initial pruning and wiring for those like me who are less skilled!!!! Thank you.

[@TucanusFace]

It's nice to see the full wiring process, as other people tend to skip or speed this up in their videos. Cheers!

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks, yes this was real time, no time cut out, demo from start to finish. I wanted to show what can be achieved in a short space of time.

[@jg00000]

Cracking vid as always!

[@karelvanelderen615]

[@Dave_0993_I]

Hey, Corin, we really appreciate the videos, even when you dont have to drive some hours to present them! Much thanks!

[@davidreid622]

You're simply the best. Better than all the rest. Thank you so much.

[@GlowBeets]

Amazing video. I love how modest and matter of fact you are when in all actuality you’re an absolute artist. Love it.

[@bobsmith5417]

Hi Corin, So many ways of expressing how Im feeling right now... So many thanks , for the work you do on an assortment of trees, with a nice bit of humour tucked in.. CHEERS yer a star.

[@Ben-lo7cy]

Great transformation

[@alfredgrechbonsailicious4827]

Really enjoy your videos and seeing you working from scratch 👍👍🇵🇷

[@timf5021]

Another great job keep it going with more videos!

[@almac2598]

Thanks Corin, lots of good tips. I have a Japanese Black Pine from seed, just over 30 yrs old, a very similar shape that went a bit wild on me when I was working away from home a lot. Slowly bringing it back, so this was most welcome.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Fantastic as always Corin! Really enjoyed and learned from this. Cheers!

[@willbhm]

what a stunning collection of trees to start a brilliant transformation fantastic work as always ;-)

[@cherylandrews3195]

thanks for the learning!

[@rossi4382]

great as always

[@maryoverton7245]

I really enjoy your videos. You show a variety of trees that most of us have. Gratefully not all junipers! I have missed conventions workshops and our club meetings here in Australia we are slowly getting back to normal but Thank you for doing these videos I at least get to see a demo and learn something.

[@reddy969]

Excellent work, I like your work and the way you are explaining about the tree, wiring, shaping and future of the plant. Thanks mate From Brisbane 🙏

[@dermo1981]

Great video as always Corin. Really enjoy watching your content. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@thebonsaiarea]

thanks for the lesson, and you have a beautiful Arakawa with a beautiful autumn color 👍

[@yefiy1793]

[@robertobreglia9224]

Thank you very much for this very interesting video! You did a great job,very compliments!👍👍👍👍🙂

[@Matsuba81]

Love the intro with your tree's they are stunning , great to see the pine from start to finish and your thought process of trimming and styling. Really enjoy your channel great work guy's

[@dennispovloski8102]

I'm new to the channel, and I really like how you tell us what you're doing every time you touch a branch. Your quick comments as you work are extremely helpful to me! Thank you!

[@johnrb9397]

Wow great skill very decisive in your decision making. Experience there.

[@aflatminor]

Smashing initial styling!! 👍😎😎

[@JuanLopez-tp7hj]

I really like this guy’s videos he keeps it easy to understand for me and he is very talented great work

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Glad you like them!

[@bulebonsaibatam1758]

Excellent as always. I have a JBP that’s similar in shape but only 5 yrs old. Still a ways to go. Can’t wait to see the next black pibe you mentioned.

[@michellepanagopoulos676]

Loving the content Corin. All the best from Australia!

[@paulcropper4568]

nice job, cheers for vid

[@phillipwaterman5721]

Bonsai phill looks good now but need some time lovethe video thanks corin mate

[@blueridgebonsai9155]

Corin, I look forward to each of your videos, excellent work and a great teaching style, so thank you. I just wish you were over here in the US so I could visit your studio. Looking forward to your videos on the cedar and also the small pine. I have a small JBP that I need to wire up this fall and a large Austrian pine that is in training so your videos are perfect. One suggestion is to pull in all the trees you have done this year for a quick look at how they have grown..

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks very much, glad you like the Videos. We did do a projects revised video a few weeks back. Some of the tree I've worked on we have since sold.

[@greenhawk1592]

Verry nice, thanks! Grts from Belgium🍺

[@sagebonsai]

Nicely presented as always, right now I'm very tempted to getting my own J. Black pine to add into my collection. At the moment I just planted rocky mountain bristlecone pine. I'd be lucky if one sprouts within five years. If you ever looking for nice specimen to work with try getting some blue ice arizona cypress a true cypress adapted to life in desert with strong tough compact foliage.

[@soberhippie]

35:24 This is also a good angle, I probably even prefer this one

[@jballenger9240]

Agree. The strong, left to right, diagonal movement, from the front view, is too straight for me. The angle is makes me dizzy, feel a bit queasy and want to me look away. Please know I appreciate and enjoy watching your excellent videos and calm teaching. I especially like when you say that the tree "wants" tiding up in a particular spot; such intimacy. Hope to visit your nursery next trip to England. Greetings, and happy fall, from Massachusetts, US.

[@alancunningham4274]

excellent yet again,Very much a learner,i was bought a red wood ,four small in a white pot,from greenwoods,and i dont know what to do with it ,perhaps a short video for people like me ,very much learners would be super ,

[@Ukeitupmike]

great work

[@daveb2054]

Really helpful video as I've got a black pine I planted in the ground a few year ago to fatten up, and was struggling to know what direction to take it. This has helped alot 👍

[@MF-fc5vk]

Great vid. 👌🏻Thankyou

[@Dave_0993_I]

Turning the right side forward a little - the trunk has some nice movement from there?

[@user-iv2wz4vi1h]

Love this video! It's like watching Bob Ross paint. Immersive. Just wondering if you've done anything with nursary bought Podocarpus Acutifolius before?

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks, I love watching Bob Ross !

[@x-crooksy-x]

Love your videos very informative, been growing bonsai for the last 15 years only one never tried is cascade please can you do one, keep up the great work

[@jacktaylor6190]

Great video! It would take me a day or longer to do that, you get it done in less then 30 minutes and I am sure you could do it with your eyes closed with your years of experience!

[@Rupert88888]

Brilliant video thanks very much. I have a nursey Japanese red pine which has quite a substantial truck, but it a formal upright and for my taste, I would like some movement. Would you recommend using branch splitters? Quite worried about doing that tbh.

[@markknight641]

Very Pr

[@SilverF0XX]

Corin do you use wound sealer on pines typically in the UK due to the moisture/weather? Or is more for aesthetics and that this cut was quite large for the pine to take care of itself?

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Yes, we seal larger cuts with Lac Balsam, , mainly for cosmetic reasons.

[@petesullivan3301]

What time of year is the best time to trim my Black Pine… like you did in this video?

[@garymccarthy4994]

Why aluminum wire rather than copper?

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Just because its faster, easier to use for Demo

[@brucedeacon28]

👍🍎👌🍻

[@williamingleby3327]

Looks easy but I'm sure it isn't.

[@FloridaWildlife]

That would be firewood here in Florida. Not worth the time.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Wow, not worth 37 mins to work on a 30 year old tree ? Guess you'd burn it to keep cold in the Florida winter - lol

[@chaiwatpotichanid]
