How To Style A Juniper Bonsai - Greenwood Bonsai

[@davidparry2301]

Corin your teaching is second to none. What a transformation. Just recently discovered your channel, it’s inspiring

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thank you David.

[@KitakuBonsai]

You’ll learn a lot, and see some amazing trees at the same time! 👍

@@TheHanney123 The quality of this information and the videos far exceeds herons videos. That’s why he says it’s the best channel in the uk ... because it is

Peter Chan is like watching someone polish crystal with a sledgehammer. Painful.

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

Well I didn't want to mention Peter but yes I agree I haven't seen anything but hacking branches of wondering round talking bs and sphagnum moss to save trees look around his green houses and see deed branches on trees poor care and maintenance and oh my god the excuses I watch now and again just to see if it gets any better but no it doesn't but greenwood best there is I am glad Corin is here to show people from start to finish how it's done properly

[@brucetharp7610]

Your voice and instructions are simple, relaxed, and easy to listen to, and therefore easily remembered.

[@KitakuBonsai]

Very nice compliment indeed!

[@LetMeBeYourPlantasy]

This is magic. Corin is so skilled, fast but never careless. Such a great eye for design whilst being respectful of the health of the tree. Amazing 🤩

[@exmitter236]

It’s great how much detail you go into some things. It’s nice to be so deliberate, so that there are no questions or misunderstandings are left after watching your video.

Keep your eye out for follow up on this tree VERY soon

Love your videos! I learn a lot watching them and I appreciate you sharing them.

[@Nightsoil626]

These are such relaxing Sunday morning videos, informative and interesting, thank you

[@KitakuBonsai]

I second that!! 👍

[@grahammorris1997]

Bought one from you last year. I personally prefer to put my own stamp on my bonsai trees and these are ideal material to do that. Another very instructive video for the relative newby. Well done.

[@sirkarl1]

Wat did it cost

[@Beau-The-Golden]

Some of the best instruction on KZbin. Thank you!

[@nathanleach7441]

Looking at my lockdown juniper from last year thinking I’d done an amazing job and it took me 3 hours, then Corin knocks this up in 15 minutes flat. Think I’ll get another one now I’ve seen how it should be done.

[@konductape]

thank you sir for this very detailed & in depth sharing of Juniper styling , love your masterpiece!

[@KitakuBonsai]

Brilliant right?

[@richardbmw320]

I love juniper bonsai , im only a novice but i have a few sadly which with my limited skills i butcher every now and then. Lol

[@mandyhernon2238]

Fantastic informative content. Not sure whether or not to add this to my mainly deciduous collection, definitely want some evergreens though. You make the process look logical, thank you.

[@KitakuBonsai]

The beauty is when one can make it look as easy!

[@TheRobe-]

Picked up a rather nice juniper from a local grocery store that sells plants as well. It’s probably about 5 years old. It was a bush really. It came out absolutely beautiful. Trunk naturally had awesome movement. Cost $18

[@danbanham728]

Just goes to show Corin's skill and experience, whipping up a bonsai in half an hour, kudos. Loving the videos Corin, when it's the right time of year could you please show how to prune a Japanese white pine to promote back budding, I've got the candle pinching absolutely sorted but I can't get much in the way of back budding on my pines. These lockdown junipers look like great value for money.

[@annotten7413]

You can’t judge a book by its cover - no one would ever guess looking at you that you could create such beautiful art. Thanks for sharing it with us

Hi, I'm new to this channel that I discovered by chance a short time ago, I'm Spanish and I don't speak English, could you somehow, even if it is to put the subtitles of the videos in Spanish? I am a lover of bonsai, and although with my eyes I usually keep things, obviously if I could read it it would be for me and I think that also for many Spaniards who follow this channel, it would be much better. Anyway, you can or cannot do it, my high esteem as a bonsai professional, greetings from a Spaniard from Cadiz (Spain) regards

I always wonder why using ordinary dirt like the tree grows in in nature isn't better than using dry, rocky pellets?

Because open ground and pot growing are very different. Also small compact root systems are different than extended Roots in open ground.
