Momo the Bonsai Guard Dog, Plus Styling a Legacy Pine Bonsai

[@Nick-vw6og]

Cameron did some aggressive pruning to the apex of himself to create a more round and smooth appearance

[@peterjohnson3654]

Great transformation. Very subtle and refined.

[@leeow9966]

Very nice evolution, more elegant now! great job mista Bjorn ;-)

[@NimrodTargaryen]

Excellent, good photography and to the point, congratulations

[@michaelmaguire4555]

As well as being a great bonsai artist, you have a great way of explaining things

[@wjjackson0311]

Absolutely love your channel

[@rainbowstar4360]

This is so spectacular. Thank you for explaining things so clearly. I wish you would have explained what type of wire rope you used and size to pull down the branches and how did you anchor it right into the tree with a screwdriver? And how do you repair the hole after you don't need the nail anymore?

[@LounoirRecords]

momo-chan's suiseki art collection just makes me giggle :D

[@VEE-rd7cu]

Idk which I love more, Your bonsai or your beautiful pup; he’ s gotten so big! I like what you said 'less is more'. My Being a minimalist & naturalist, I was a little uncomfortable that you wired so much...even though, the outcome is amazing. I like that you more for your show. Glad you are back.

[@2023mcr]

beautifully done

[@danbanham728]

Amazing work Bjorn, I've been watching your Vlogs for years, really good presentation style and there is no denying the skills. Tree looks great.

[@alexisfaitdubonsai]

Very good styling, Scots pine is my favourite pine species, we are lucky to have a lot of them in france (by collecting) 🙂

[@tolotep8904]

Amazing tree

[@davidjohnson7508]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden and bonsai. lt lifts the spirit.

[@johnmullins8030]

Wonderful work

[@robertobreglia2544]

Very good job! Very compliments 👍👍👍💯

[@kenhunnicutt8536]

We both have a love for German Shepherds and bonsai. I took my eyes off my youngest GSD for few minutes and she destroyed one of my formal upright ficus bonsai because she thought it was a stick. It took me a while to forgive her...about five minutes of sad puppy eyes. She apologized though. Good thing it wasn't one of my older ones.

[@manueleguiluz9286]

ooohhhh!! I loved..!!

[@Andy-pu2iv]

And here's me thinking that Scots looks just fine. Then you do your work on it and suddenly we have a whole new tree. And Momo's grown, hasn't she?!

[@tubonsaiencasajoseximenez2541]

Hola B. Jorn, precioso trabalo con este pino, la verdadad todos tus trabajos son muí bonitos un saludo desde España

[@briankavanagh7191]

Momo a lovely looking dog, Cameron when he said "Biker" 😂 . more like "Charles Manson".🤣

[@DarthMasiah]

great job

[@audigutierrez6946]

I would love to visit! I live in Clarksville, so it's only a 45 mins drive

[@minosegdelwonk7851]

It looks like you've got some heart-pine or fatwood in that jin. I think that red will be an excellent contrast to the typical bone-white jin. Great work!

[@avocatrok4186]

We call it ISTIMEWA in Indonesia... Greetings from Indonesia... Love it very much... By the way, have you ever see or made a video about Indonesian (tropical) bonsai, Sir?

[@JennyBesserit]

ermergerd such a beautiful scots pine

[@ahappyimago]

Looks great. Thanks for putting out this content. The video on the shohin shimpaku styling was great. Can you do more videos on materials that are not so difficult to acquire? Also an apex styling tutorial would be great!

[@shuancook9005]

Awesome dog 👍👍🌲

[@michaelexner1667]

I like the tree and the music ;-)

[@mstringer90]

such a nice pine

[@adermarchan1061]

Maravilloso vivero y lleno de hermosos bonsais!!!!!! Reciba un afectuoso saludo!!!!!

[@questionablecooking7019]

Massive flush of Spring growth for Cameron's beard. Seems to be adjusting and not too stressed from apprenticeship. Is it too late in the season to apply a little POCD or is it too risky to shock him with the stress of work and high temps of Summer in Nashville?

[@bildahome]

You’re nursery has grown mature, all my compliments on that and you’re Lovely dog and lovely wife. Greatings from Amsterdam

[@graciebonsai7272]

Hi Bjorn, Have you considered placing a threshold stone(s) below your new chumon gate? I really enjoy your channel! Thank you!

[@giovannimarquez2249]

I really like the tools merch... imagine what people will ask you > A total conversation starter lol nice

[@britaglious]

The new hotness! Tree is dope, video is dope, music is dope, momo is dope but Bjorn...Crocs are not dope sir. Let me help you see the light. ;) Keep em coming!

[@HerebutNot]

Lol - Merch, "yours will come with less sweat" (but not necessarily none) haha. Love these videos and it's given me some confidence to chop back some of my own houseplant trees. I've got a soursop, miracle berry, chocolate tree, and some citrus-no where near as cool as your bonsais (still young seed-raised plants)-but I have been terrified to cut them in case I screwed them up. So, thank you! Looking forward to your next video...will probably have to get myself some of your bonsai tools...hopefully you ship to Canada?

[@ER1CL33]

Amazing

[@alexhintenaus6]

Good job, great styling. Such a cute doggie too : )

[@locpham-ie6ly]

The best 👍

[@jimjam6598]

Always look forward to ur vids man

[@alvarolupinacci641]

Awesome. Do you usualy try to root the material you remove during the pruning process?

[@simonlam4543]

Looks great 👍

[@browniesbear]

1:40 u should sell that. "pick by Momo, Suiseki"

[@92604791]

Stunning styling. What are your thoughts about lifting the lowest left foliage pad higher than the lowest right pad?

[@TheLardFather]

I'm not sure if you've already done this or not, but I was looking in the tools section of your site and it'd be really cool to see a video explaining the differences and uses of all the different kinds of tools

[@EiseienBonsai]

We'll have a Bonsai-U video soon featuring tools!

[@VEE-rd7cu]

What do you recommend, as a beginner? Get the ugliest bonsai? What tools initially, do I need? On a coronavirus budget!

[@sationobudi1706]

Transformasi yang bagus!

[@Lochamp]

I knew it wasn't just bonsai and viking genes that got Bjorn ripped

[@fredericpoli4061]

Hi Bjorn, Is it the right time to work on scott pines? Isn't it better in the fall ?

[@EiseienBonsai]

Normally yes if it requires heavy work, but detail wiring can be done as soon as new growth hardens in summer.

[@surfgreen60]

Bjorn, you been skipping leg day? Great tree.

[@creeksidebonsai7615]

Did you cut back the candles . Looks like they are gone between the before and after.

[@jonaswweee3602]

Love the vids! There are allot of videos of how to wire and so forth, but not many showing the removing of wire part of it all. is it possible you could make one of those vids? would be intresting to see your thoughts of when to remove and what to think of etc. xox jonas

[@mikecole1095]

So I just collected a yamadori pitch pine. Could you tell me if it is a double flush pine?

[@jerrefisher2184]

Loved seeing Momo! Curious.was that a live stick or a tanuki.....Glad you’re hiring bikers for apprenticeships, heard a rumor...Bill wants his tree back...nice job! Keep cool and safe and keep the videos coming please!

[@TheFinja]

Wait wait wait, How TF is Cameron gonna do them cornrows with no hair on his noggin?! Love the Scots Pine!

[@jaxxlah6065]

Why you twist the branch after you cut it?

[@lowan1960]

I came to your channel for the dog lol

[@Tore1972Wisdom]

Hi Bjorn. Do you know that Momo (not your dog.......lol) is a Tibetan National dish and it tastes fantastic.

[@johngilbert939]

Definitely an excellent example of "less is more" on a throughly good Scotts pine; however, no where near as awesome as Momo!!

[@For_Cruyff_Sake]

Could you showcase your work on a ginkgo biloba?

[@victortaboada2058]

Quick question Bjorn...watering...our water in Northern Virginia is rather alkaline (8.5 pH)...I see you water with what I assume is tap water, don't you concern yourself with using lower pH (6-6.5) water for watering your trees? Wonderful series, BTW.

[@EiseienBonsai]

Our water here is about 7.2 so I don't worry about reducing the pH. In your case though I would either collect rain water or find a way to drop the pH in your two water.

[@JCBerner]

Amazing styling Bjorn - I was thinking... could the two lower branches on the left go? I'm thinking that it could create more negative space and balance to the tree? just my two cents

[@EiseienBonsai]

Hi Jens! It will probably be removed in a few years as the rear branch develops more to take its place.

[@EmmAPestilenciA]

Momo is my cat's name too. His name is Mochi but we call him Momo chan.

[@GabrielNovakovskiNunes]

How old is this three? How the trunk is so big?

[@DeanKellyBonsai]

Boom! Also someones been working out over lockdown. lol

[@DeanKellyBonsai]

[@waterlover]

[@charlesoberdorf8478]

reminds me of Darth Vader a little ;)

[@autoklick]

give me bonsai from indonesia

[@nancygrape6779]

Dude you eat too much!

[@pansepot1490]

With that thinned and refined canopy the trunk looks too heavy. But I don’t know anything about Japanese bonsai aesthetics so that’s just my uneducated opinion. Thanks for the video.
