Pruning Pine Bonsai (Buds, Candles and Branches)

[@sylviahardy4568]

This newbie doesn't understand pine bonsai at all, so I'm very glad of this video. Thank you.

[@k8marlowe]

Same

[@JPThz]

Together with the Ryan Neill videos, one of the clearest explanations on the candle subject 👍

[@NeilTurner-rg9ws]

Fast becoming one of the top bonsai favourites on the tube keep the vids coming

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thanks, will do!

[@BonsaiStyle]

Hey Jelle Just in Time 😊 Now I can start on my pines tomorrow 👍🏻 Thanks!

[@jang.1185]

These are just the information I need. I started some scots pines several years ago. I read a lot about it and I watched different videos. This one is the best. I appreciate when you show and say what will happen when you do certain things. All my trees are in early development, so you are helping me a lot. I'm managing the roots on my seedlings, I'm trying to airlayer field maple and hopefully I will start the forest (field maple should be OK for the forest, and maybe I will try larches as well in the future). There is a lot to try and a lot to learn. With your help, with all of the trying and learning I will achieve better results and then there will be hopefully more nice bonsai trees in the world.

Excellent video Jelle. I like the way you make it so clear and easy to understand. Please keep posting 🙏.

[@deepanjanbanerjee3491]

A very good refresher even for advanced practitioners. May I request you to do a video on different pruning and pinching techniques for different species.

[@stevetippin]

Wow, I had no idea that pruning at the end of summer would do that to a Scots Pine. That tip is incredible!

[@casimsalabim]

Hi Jelle, wusste gar nicht, dass du YT-Videos machst. Schön erklärt! Hab deinen Kanal soeben entdecht, weil ich eine P. sylvestris habe, mit der ich nicht so recht etwas anzufangen weiß. Ich schau' mir noch mehr von dir an. groetjes, carsten

[@GrowingBonsai]

Ha Carsten, welcome here! Lol, I have been doing it for a bit now. Do have a look around, several hours of entertainment :)

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

That's an excellent point about knowing what the mainline branch actually is when selecting your '2' buds. I had never thought of it like that before - cheers :)

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

This will be useful information for when I work on my collected White pine! Thank You!

[@mattbrennan647]

Jelle,, you’ve done it again. Fantastic tutorial. I’ve just ventured into pines this year so your video is much appreciated. Thanks, keep growing

[@BartoszBassa]

Great video Jelle!!! I've been missing those deep type of analisys videos from you I think those are my favourite type of your content, keep up the good work

[@mcmak666]

This type of content is really helpful and informative, thank you!

[@sueb1317]

Oh this is just brilliant and well timed. Been struggling on getting the timing right for in-development Scott's pine. Very happy to have a plan in place now for the upcoming year. Thank you soooo much!!

[@hashiramabonsai]

Herewith I encourage you to do more content😂❤ love your channel! Kind regards from Switzerland

[@Akatsuki-En]

Love learning from you very straightforward and informative

[@mattlohr3901]

Thanks Jelle! I have 6 Eastern white pines collected this year one Scotch pine. Very helpful 😊

[@a.wartongarden1957]

Thanks Jelle! Do keep making these videos... So informative. I have an 80cm high Scots Pine, which I was given in the 90's (a self seed in a stone wall) Only now do I have a little time to develop it! 😮. It is budding up now so your guidance is very valuable..... But I am confused as to when is best to do root work... up to now it has been just been potted up occasionally. So far this Spring I have been rather busy with my Acers & a Fagus sylvatica Asplenifolia.

[@UginUa]

10:24 Also one more question, when does the tree start working on new buds? I thought in early spring as you cut off unnecessary buds and reduce the length of longer ones balancing the energy to lower branches . Please advise

[@Bonsaicrazy]

Great lesson that Jelle Thanks loads 👊👊👊👊

[@mcbabs7495]

Super vidéo, un grand merci à vous!

[@andrei-silviusontu9911]

Make more videos Jelle! It’s nice to look at these and the guys in our bonsai association all enjoy them:) Here’s a question: why are conifers much easier to bend than deciduous trees? Thank you!

[@UginUa]

10:23 Wow this is a truly amazing video! Thank you so much. But in my opinion it slightly contradicts with the one you made a year (or two) ago on candle pruning and development. I am slightly confused with this very moment. Will this branch not die off if you cut it to the desired length in the end of summer? From what I remember from the previous video, it will not form new buds at the tip and foliage will get brown and fall off eventually, won’t it? Thanks for the clarification! 🙏

[@nerinat8371]

Very helpful info, thx Jelle

[@stuartbaines2843]

Very helpful 👍 White pine pruning tips would be welcome. I have this winter done a prune and candle thinning. To my Surprise the tree generated more buds! Very few back buds, hard on this 25 year old tree 🤔

[@dermo1981]

Thanks again Jelle 👌

[@TheKrieschan]

Top Video, danke Jelle 👍

[@paulcropper4568]

thank you so much for this, every other vid on pines says cut all candles to same length with no explaination, could you please do a follow up vid more indepth with development, back to two, side branch and leader, im on bonsai uk site and everyone is so confused on how to deal with pines

[@theoschmitt3037]

Sehr hilfreich😊

[@rebeccahunter725]

Pines just seem so much less intuitive than deciduous trees, not sure why. Some good, clear information, thank you! I am wondering why you rubbed off the pollen buds, rather than cutting them at the base?

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

As usual an excellent 'in-depth' look at this. I do have aquery about your candle technique for a refined Japanese White Pine. I have always waited till the end of summer but in the 'old days' I did used to pinch for short candles and energy distribution now. I think it was Ryan Neil who kept saying to leave the JWP until late summer. What is your experience on this?

[@gariktv8756]

Good afternoon 👍🏻

[@GrowingBonsai]

Heeelloo!

[@sharonbuckley4591]

Sadly I’m not pruning my pine as it died over winter. But thanks for the excellent instruction

[@k8marlowe]

I have a request: would you consider doing a video about Japanese Black pines, specifically? I noticed you mentioned growing a pine in your garden. What do you do differently for Niwaki compared to Bonsai trees, if anything? I have multiple young Japanese Black pines and it’s time to make some decisions, but I’m not sure what to do next. I’m an utter beginner, clearly.

[@GrowingBonsai]

I think my black pines are not really in a state to make an example

[@koenjanssen4549]

Lekker bezig Jelle

[@johanvantilt6687]

Do you follow a calendar I can learn from, the biggest problem is to know when to do the right things at the right time 🙈

[@Bonsaiandknives]

This you can do with your small Pine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joXVdKd_odGer9Ufeature=shared

You need to differentiate between single flush and dual flush pines.

rewatch the first 30 seconds.

[@Sfdoggydaddy]

Do you have any Deodar cedar? Can you explain pruning basics for more evergreens please? Also any birch?

[@GrowingBonsai]

I had one. And killed it after a few years :(

[@Sfdoggydaddy]

@@GrowingBonsai oh no, I have three very young ones, used to have four but one died. I am very new to bonsai, (1year) but have forty little trees now
