The pines like a loose free draining soil and after re potting, they should be watered and misted often! I keep my trees in the greenhouse after re potting for a few weeks. It keeps them protected from the wind and the light intensity is less. If you don't have a greenhouse it is best to keep them in a bright but protected location. Somewhere that gives the trees morning and evening light, but is in the shade for the hot afternoon sun. I water them about four times a day, keeping the soil surface moist at all times, until the roots have grown into the new soil. I mist every 3 to 4 hours and more if it is hot out.

Thanks, Nigel! All of the pines (and your other trees visible throughout the video) are looking great - the new style of moving around to different locations throughout the video gives us a better feel of your garden. That construction yard pine with the cascading branch is starting to get some rugged bark - which seems to be one of the limiting factors with that species, the bark stays juvenile looking for a very long time, especially when grown in containers. I think I may have fatally wounded a wonderful eastern white pine this spring by overworking the roots too soon after heavy top pruning (late last autumn), pure stupidity in retrospect. The previous years needles browned and mostly dropped and now the fresh growth is slowly browning branch by branch on parts of the tree. Under the benches it stays with fingers crossed, but it appears to be on a death march. Your greenhouse is awesome, but I don't envy the task of cultivating bonsai in Ontario. It's crazy that frost is still a consideration in late May!

Now my question is for a beautiful 1 gallon Mugo Pine that I have still growing in it's original nursery pot and soil. My question is since there's no solid videos out there on these trees is when is the best time to repot prune and wire Mugo pines??? I now these trees are very sensitive which makes me a little nervous to loose this nice little healthy Mugo.

I have a Japanese Black Pine that a coworker grew from seed in an office for 5 years. Needless to say, for 5 years it remained a sapling and fortunately for me, it survived. I took it home this summer, and it has tripled in size in just a few months. I’m in zone 5, so it would need to go in the garage for the winter UNLESS.. Is it possible to bring the black pine in for the winter, or has been doing this for the first years of it’s life been too risky?

Why do you hand pinch the candles rather than cutting them back? Does the Austrian Pine have a bit of reverse taper? Enjoyed seeing the greenhouse.
@TheBonsaiZone
@TheBonsaiZone 7 жыл бұрын
Cutting through the candle will also cut through some of the needles. This will cause browning on the tips of the branch. Plucking the tip off will keep the end of the branch green. The Austrian pine has a bulge on one side of the trunk where it had a whole of branches at one time. Over time the bulge is becoming less visible and hopefully some day will it will be unnoticeable.

I am trying to get a seedling of a maple to thicken up the trunk and form a nice root system. These trees had sprouted from seed and grown through some carpet scraps! Now that theyve been in actual soil theyve taken off. Could I use your colander trick to get nice roots and a thicker trunk or is that exclusive to conifers?
@TheBonsaiZone

Yes the colender should work well to get you a nice fine even root system. The roots will still need to be pruned once every year or two to keep them in check. I have a root video.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5S2pmuJirZjoac

It can depend at what stage your tree is at. I try and develop the root base of the tree first and then once the roots are in order, I start on the rest of the tree. When you are developing the roots, you will need to re pot often, every year or two. As the root base starts getting nice, you can re pot less and concentrate on growing the top of the tree.

Hi Mr Saunders, I have two pines, one white and one black. I got them as tiny trees but they did a lot of growing over the past year. I was wondering, both of them are about 12 inches in height but they are like one big green shoot for a couple shoots coming off. How do I get it to get bark down the trunk? I've never had any pines so I'm not sure what to do. I was also wondering if you can cut the needles? The needles on both of my trees are very long. 2-3 inches. It just doesn't look right

@TheBonsaiZone
@TheBonsaiZone 7 жыл бұрын
Sorry, but the tree may already be dead. If the roots have died, it takes the top some time before the needles start to brown and fall off. Think of it like a Christmas tree, nice and green when you pick it up, but without roots, it will go brown in a month. It is possible the needles have turned brown from sunburn and there might be a slim chance that the new growth for this year will emerge and save the tree. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

@TheBonsaiZone
@TheBonsaiZone 7 жыл бұрын
I don't wire my trees in the pots, instead, I place stones around the tree until the roots get established. Wiring the trees into the pots can be a good thing if wind and pests are a problem. Wiring the roots in place can leave ugly wire marks on the surface roots if not protected properly. I like the freedom to position the tree in the pot and adjust the position. I also like to feel how the tree wiggles in the soil. When the roots are surrounded with soil, the tree firms up in the pot.

I've struck out with two collected White pines. Both died after the winter time coming into spring. My yew is on the brink now as well. All 25+ of my broad leaf desiduous trees are exploding with growth both above and below the soil. I need to do more studying before I take a go at another coniferous tree. I'm eyeing up some Dawn redwoods at the local nursery but I do not want to kill one of my favorite trees.
@TheBonsaiZone
@TheBonsaiZone 7 жыл бұрын
I would suggest starting with a pine that already has a compact root system, one from a nursery or a pre bonsai. Collecting pines can be difficult if you don't get enough of the root system. I tend to collect really young pine seedlings and then container grow them into larger trees. Dawn redwoods should be easy to grow if you keep them well watered and protected in winter from really low temperatures.

Nigel, a week ago I watched your aerial root videos about a ficus and suddenly an idea appeared in my mind, so I want to ask you if this is possible or not... Here I go: Can I plant three coffee seedlings I had (you migt remember) around a big stone, then braid them together? Over the years the braid over the stone would become one trunk and than I would apply aerial root methods to three little trunks those surround the stone so it would look like if it is a root over rock style bonsai. Is this possible?

Hello Jie, I fertilize with powdered 20-20-20 (with micro nutrients). I mix a small pinch of fertilizer into my 2 liter watering can and fertilize a minute amount every time I water. My used bonsai soil goes into the vegetable or the pre bonsai garden.

Can you collect trees from the wild during the summer in North Eastern united States?
@TheBonsaiZone
@TheBonsaiZone 7 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can collect trees any time of the year, but spring is usually the best. Success in collecting involves many different factors, the time of the year is just one of these. Collecting enough root mass and good aftercare are just as important as the time of the year. Be sure to obtain permission and I would suggest starting by collecting small trees to start with. Some of the larger trees have little chance of survival even in expert hands. There is the ethical questions that come with collecting older trees also!

What's the purpose of pinching the candles?
@TheBonsaiZone
@TheBonsaiZone 5 жыл бұрын
Pinching the candles accomplishes two goals, one, it keeps the new growth in check. It keeps the new growth in spring fine and delicate by reducing the vigor of the new shoots. The second benefit of pinching is to keep the new growth in balance, so the entire tree grows with equal vigor. If the tree wasn't pinched, the shoots near the apex would become super vigorous, and take over, creating a top heavy tree.

Collecting is very tricky, not every tree you find can be collected and live. It all depends on the root system, if the roots are long and deep, collection is almost impossible, but if the roots are shallow and compact, your chances are good. Always obtain permission to collect trees from the land owner. It is best to look up tree collection on the internet before you give it a try, there are many ethical questions attached to the practice.

The tree has been growing untouched for the first two years, some of the needles on the tree are the original ones from when the tree was collected. They are starting to fade in vigor quickly and will soon be turning yellow and fall off. The new growth seems fine to me, it may be just the camera.
