Making an Old Japanese Black Pine Into a Cascade Bonsai

[@joegarland4885]

I absolutely loved your work on this tree and the explanation of why you did what you did in order to achieve the style you had in your minds eye but remain open minded as you work on it take other style options, it looks a bit drastic at the moment but the end result over time will prove to be the right decision I am sure. Thanks Milton.

[@MiltonChang-ee6rq]

Thank you kindly! Yes, please stay tuned to keep track of the progress. the tee can be quite full in six months, for sure in a year...to provide ample opportunity to improve.

i been wanting the japanese red pine for a while. the one with the extra small needles. i been working with our native pines here on the east coast for a few years. very slow to develop tho being single flush. i like them tho. pitch pine is one that grows great here too. im hoping to collect one this spring

[@MiltonChang-ee6rq]

Feedback your experience...to share with the BH community...would appreciate it.

Very interesting video! I appreciated so much your job on this beautiful pine!👏👏👏

[@rfadfsasfd]

Nice material sir. I don't like your style of designing trees, but appreciate your videos.

[@MiltonChang-ee6rq]

Difference of opinion is good...Art is preferential...Right? :-)

[@MiltonChang-ee6rq]

Never intended to follow what I do...do your thing! Extrapolate...and build on ides. Have fun with your bonsai is the main goal. It is a great hobby.

[@rfadfsasfd]

Indeed sir, great hobby and very nice channel

[@gregoryh4601]

Sir Would it not be Easier and Faster to Do Branch grafting to help your Design? Would this Be For Sale as Pre Bonsai tree ? sir when will your Website be Up and Running? Again nice pre bonsai Video

[@MiltonChang-ee6rq]

So cutting a bunch of foliage off on pines in the fall time isnt bad?!

[@brucedeacon28]

[@MDMARaver]

I don't know why that is but I'm not a big fan of cascades in general. 🤷🏻

We all have preferences...Do your thing and enjoy!

[@orhanguclu5978]

Black pine may not be a good candidate for cascade bonsai...

[@JoshAbston138]

Why is that

[@Cup_of_Class]

Give it 3-5 years and we’ll see

[@orhanguclu5978]

@@Cup_of_Class Ok. Let's wait...

@@JoshAbston138 Black pine branch, candle and needle development is coarser compared to other pine species. It does not have the detail and pet density that can give the waterfall effect.
