How to Develop Pine Bonsai? (One full development year)

[@EPErnst]

I love these almost time-loop videos, where we can see the result of what you do after a growing season or two. Keep them coming! 👍👍

[@GrowingBonsai]

Will do, and thank you!

[@MokumaBonsai]

These videos where you show the results of the techniques that you apply are really really cool. There are so many videos that leave me hanging on YT... especially styling videos, where one can never be sure if the tree will even live after. So this kind of presentation is greatly appreciated I'm sure by many of your viewers.

[@GrowingBonsai]

ok, will try to keep making these!

[@ChillGuyBonsai]

Great video. Out of all the bonsai content creators, you are my favorite. Jelle, you always put so much work into your videos. Once again, great video!💚

[@GrowingBonsai]

ohw, thats so kind! Thank you so much!

[@MehranAshkanian]

Hi. I like to see details long and short videos on Junipers Thanks 🙏

[@GrowingBonsai]

Tuesday!

[@MehranAshkanian]

@@GrowingBonsai Great . Thanks 🙏

[@bejkee]

This is my favorite format. If it's just a technique, but you have no idea why you're applying it, you are not really learning. And always having your eyes on the end goal helps immensely.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thx!

[@mortsteal]

More likely to watch short videos especially in the morning. Afternoon, more likely to watch longer videos. Just make what feels right to you, keep it a passion and the rest will sort itself out. You videos are excellent either way.

[@GrowingBonsai]

haha, but i cannot tell when you would watch a new video!

[@dermo1981]

Thanks Jelle. I like the longer videos personally. You're truly excellent at what you do and the time you spend creating and releasing content is very much appreciated by many of us online. Thanks for bringing much enjoyment to your many subscribers

[@GrowingBonsai]

Ohw, thank you so much. Its nice to hear

[@alexandros1973]

Thank you Jelle for this very nice video 👌 I like that you are showing the development of the tree through time and I get to see the result of your actions.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mattlohr3901]

Thanks for the video, Jelle. I appreciate the longer videos with great details and follow up results! Love the Japanese maple and pines! Keep up the great content! 😊

[@GrowingBonsai]

a three year japanese maple vid wikl be put together in winter ;)

[@akagainesy]

I like both kinds of videos. The shorter ones are grate for getting information on techniques and how to do them. And the long ones are grate for seeing how those techniques can work in practice.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Awesome, thank you! Will continue mixing things up I suppose!

[@RO-Smart]

Thanks Jelle, I really would prefer the longer period videos because all work done has a long term focus and so the relations between all the single actions is much clearer. Thanks a lot for your great work for the community.

[@GrowingBonsai]

great to hear. So longer ones will stay!

[@dropbearpig3223]

These videos are fantastic. Excellent to see all the detailed stages and the result at the end. Thank you, thank you. Very much appreciated.

[@GrowingBonsai]

thank you so much!

[@suer666]

Great video perfect length and showing of development of the pine. This is exactly what we need. There are so many videos about initial styling but not many that show refining. Thank you 😊

[@GrowingBonsai]

Great to hear! Thank you!

[@stevetippin]

I love all the videos but I prefer the longer videos (15-30 mins) where you explain the reasoning and the method in greater detail. The videos like this one which you show multiple times of the year on the same tree are the best videos on KZbin because I see the method, the reason, and the effects of your work AND also what you do the next time you revisit the tree. I love the vids where you discuss the exact tree multiple times over years of development. I also love it when you go specifically into one species, bonsai style, or method for the whole video. I also like when you compare and contrast two different trees (or same species at different ages or levels of development).

[@GrowingBonsai]

OK, guess I have my work cut out for me. The main trouble is to stay on plan when making a video over years. And of course, bring the caerma out every time I work on it!

[@wesleyholm3650]

Love the longer videos, please keep them coming!

[@GrowingBonsai]

You got it!

[@gordeikuznetsov2678]

I really like seeing how specific techniques and design choices result in the trees developing across a timeline

[@GrowingBonsai]

yeah, lots of challenges to produce, but will do my best!

[@Yurup]

I really love videos like this one with one or multiple years. But I also understand this is a lot of work. Anything educational you pump out is amazing!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Ohw thx. Will try to keep making the longer ones!

[@Jey125]

I like the 20 min or so like this. You give detailed information on a topic or species in a good amount of time. That helps me a lot. If a video is not quite new to me in terms of information, then you have still divided the videos into chapters. This is also not a matter of course. If you want short videos, then I think youtube shorts are a good way to show a long-term development in a compact way or to give a very special tree a moment of attention.

[@GrowingBonsai]

thanks so much!

[@cknight5917]

The content and presentation is spot on Jelle. Thank you for all your effort and time. The best channel for explaining the processes of developing bonsai . Very much appreciated .

[@GrowingBonsai]

oh wow, thx so much!

[@maximiliencosme8914]

Long videos with results and wide topics like this ones are really cool in my opinion! But you choose, it's always amazing anyway 😊

[@GrowingBonsai]

thank you so much!

[@colynwyn1281]

Definitely the longer cycle videos for me. My biggest challenge is visualising the design and then understanding what and when is necessary to deliver it.

[@GrowingBonsai]

This seems to be the hardest part once people get over the initial growing something in a pot!

[@Ramalito]

Hallo Jelle, ich bin schon lange ein Fan deiner Videos, egal ob lang oder kurz. Ich finde aber von den langen, guten Videos die die Entwicklung eines Baumes oder Pflege über ein Jahr zeigen, gibt es nur wenige. Und solche Videos erleichtern dem Zuschauer immer gut die Einschätzung , ob der Bonsailehrer auch Ahnung hat und sein Handwerk beherrscht. Es gibt leider viel zu viele schlechte Bonsaikanäle auf KZbin, vor allem in deutscher Sprache. Ich betreibe das Hobby auch schon 30 Jahre und kann manchmal nur den Kopf schütteln, wer so alles Filmchen macht oder sogar Bücher schreibt. Deshalb bitte mehr von deinen guten Videos und vor allem lange. Es erfordert viel mehr Planung für solche Langzeitprojekte....Danke dafür.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Germ gemacht..It is sometimes dificult to post incomplete videos, just so people have it at the right time though!

[@heidizwaenepoel7355]

Hi Jelle, I like all your videos. The content is always spot on. Especially the ones where you show the evolution, results of what you did before. Those take of course the most energy and time as well. Keep it up !

[@GrowingBonsai]

sooo much editing and tracking going on here! :) But those are the videos I enjoy watching most, so those are the ones I make myself!

[@rebeccahunter725]

As so many have said; any video is a good video! But I do like seeing the progression and the outcomes of each technique applied. And I do love hearing how you say "bifurcation"! 🙂

[@GrowingBonsai]

How do you say it?

[@rebeccahunter725]

@@GrowingBonsai With an Australian accent!! 😜 I am not quite sure what it is, but it makes me smile . . .

[@peterfransen5561]

Ik hou van dit soort videos, maar ook de kortere zijn leuk en leerzaam. Wel vind ik 20-25 minuten voor mezelf lang genoeg.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Ja, ik weet precies wat je bedoelt. Ik heb net een video afge-edit welke ruim boven de 20 minuten is, en ik vraag me af.. Hoe kan ik deze inkorten!

[@nhochamvui6070]

I enjoy watching this kind of video. chill to watch rather than Netflix

[@GrowingBonsai]

hahaha, as long as you stick to watching!

[@judymagrath3771]

I love this format, and see the results!

[@GrowingBonsai]

ok, i hear you

[@a.wartongarden1957]

Jelle, Thank you very much for these videos...I have been looking forward to seeing ones on ' work on Scots Pine'... There is definitely a place for these longer studies, getting to grips with the finer detail. I have a Scots Pine (about 35 years old) which I am looking to develop with further refinement. .. I have a long way to go! 😊

[@GrowingBonsai]

Once the main branches set, the crown development can be really fast!

[@ryanodegaard4906]

Please keep up with the longer, detailed videos.

[@GrowingBonsai]

will do!

[@robertlefler6644]

I could get used to videos like this, I really enjoyed it, thanks

[@GrowingBonsai]

:) Lets see whether I can do more like this. They are a bit of a hassle to produce though! Just a half our pruning session I can edit in an hour. This one took days!

[@fritz2604]

I really like these long lenth detailed videos I hope you start getting a bit more attentione here on youtube because you put so much effort in these videos

[@GrowingBonsai]

Ohw, that is so nice! I agree, my videos should reach millions of people. But I do not make "fun" content so it does not spread like wildfire.

[@umbertolore5567]

Great video and nice format for a deeper understanding. Thank you for your job

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thanks you for the comment. Note, not a job, but a passion!

[@nerinat8371]

I appreciate all the videos you provide... always learn a tip here and there ... cheers

[@GrowingBonsai]

great to hear, thx!

[@mrbogie4392]

Thank you for all your great informative videos brother.

[@GrowingBonsai]

You are very welcome. Glad to hear you like them!

[@nwilliams1540]

Hello, I really like both shorts and longer videos. The details in your longe videos is so helpful but sometimes I only have time for a couple of shorts.

[@GrowingBonsai]

OK, trying to also make some shorts

[@jonathanverrier1334]

I like both the shorter ones as well as the ones where we can see the evolution, I wouldn't change anything you do. Keep up the good work Jelle!!

[@GrowingBonsai]

thanks a bunch!

[@sharonbuckley4591]

Agreed it’s good to see what happens down the road.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Down the road we go! This weekend, Peter Chan!

That tree is amazing! I'm hoping my gravel pit spruce will have a similar look. The branches seem to droop naturally.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Else.. WIre and help the tree along!

[@Bonsaiandknives]

Thanks for this very helpful video. Needless to say trees are still a little nightmare for me. As mentioned in an earlier commend I prefer long videos. Greetings from the south of Germany

[@GrowingBonsai]

Will gladly make more of them then!

[@tylerjamesnewton1422]

I love both lengths of videos, but more content is more content. Thank you for the valuable information. I think you could charge for comprehensive courses and succeed.

[@GrowingBonsai]

thx!

[@tomekeziowski4293]

I like the longer videos much more.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thanks! Will keep it in mind

[@acooke7574]

Longer videos showing technique and outcome 👌🏼

[@GrowingBonsai]

More to come!

[@christymartin6281]

I like the longer videos with more explanation. The videos I find most educational, I make the transcript into a document, sometimes with screen shots, and when I can, print them for a notebook. Thank you for your excellent teaching.

[@GrowingBonsai]

hm.. sounds like I should use yr notebook and write a book 😂

[@stefgarvie6427]

I like the long once with detailed outcome. Come over a certain period.

[@GrowingBonsai]

OK, long term planning then!

[@GrowingBonsai]

this was summer

[@kroekerta]

@GrowingBonsai thanks

[@Eric-fv7gv]

Short ones with details are great but I prefer longer videos which show the process from material to bonsai

[@GrowingBonsai]

ok, but there is a limit to the number of trees I can keep in my yard!

[@souvikshome6261]

Long videos please!!

[@GrowingBonsai]

okey!

[@MarcoNeuber]

@GrowingBonsai Is it to late für cutting back black pines, and cut end-buds on sylvestris? You do it in the middle of july, or earlier?

[@GrowingBonsai]

Yes. For me, it is pretty much july august that the pines hae matured enough.

[@MarcoNeuber]

@@GrowingBonsai Thank you for sharing!

[@stuartbaines2843]

I find long videos a bit confusing at times. Just de wired a Spruce which was wired in Spring. Scots pine de wired in June from winter. Giving up on fine wire as it seems ineffective over short time frames. Pine pruning is tricky 😅

[@GrowingBonsai]

ok

[@FSCHW]

I like a mix, some shooter ( not 30 seconds shorts) and some longer.

[@GrowingBonsai]

I do do the 30 sec shorts too :)
