Growing pines from seed, part 4

[@mattbrennan647]

Thanks for a wonderful 4 part series. Very interesting and informative tutorials. Thanks, keep growing

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Thanks so much Matt. Much appreciated. I am happy the series was helpful to you. 🙌🏻

Quel plaisir de vous voir travailler votre arbre, merci pour ce moment de paix et de calme!

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Je suis tellement content que ça passe par les vidéos. Bonsai devrait être apaisant pour l'artiste et l'observateur, je pense :)

[@wesleyphillips3211]

The techniques speak for themselves, that's an amazing tree in 4 years Terry - thanks for the great content!

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Thanks for your compliment Wesley! 😁

[@chasingthefish9042]

Terry do you have a video showing your personal collection?

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Thanks for asking but I have not done such a video. Perhaps in the future.

[@paulrigby2190]

Could you explain the method of cutting the roots off a seedling to become a sort of cutting. A video on that and/or making JBP cuttings would be great.

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Hi Paul in my pine playlist I have done a video but I will do another in a few weeks as I am growing more pines from seed currently.

[@roehle9962]

Search for axis cutting on youtube :)

Thank you Terry!

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Most welcome Russell! 🙏🏻

Awesome Master! Best regards from Brazil 🇧🇷 !

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Thanks Willen for the kind compliment. However I’m no master, just a professional student 😊

[@JustJane1972]

Great to watch them all. Will you be following up on them?

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Yes I hope to do something fairly soon or otherwise at latest in our spring in a couple months. Thanks for asking.

[@JustJane1972]

@@TerryErasmusbonsai brilliant thanks. I've worked backwards and found the planting seeds and seedling cuttings (I didn't know was a thing). 😀

[@oscarvazquez7751]

Thank you for the videos Please keep them coming 😎

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Thanks Oscar, will do my best to do so! 👍🏻

[@victortaboada2058]

Amazing results for only a few years from seed! What is the role of the carbon in the mix, Terry?

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Thanks Victor. Carbon acts as a sponge for impurities and also as a pH buffer preventing the mix to become too acid.

[@bulebonsaibatam1758]

Amazing Tree. So a minimum of 5 to 6 years before starting to cut the sacrifice branches back? Max

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Thanks Max, not sure really. Need to see how it develops. Thanks for the compliment 🙏🏻

[@BONSAIenCORTO]

Thanks for these tips.... it is obvious anyone can do it with these videos. Theres no excuse!!!!!!

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Ha ha. Love it. That would be awesome.

[@Chris-oq6kn]

Great video. Hey terry when u say agricultural carbon do u mean charcoal? I cant seem to find any to buy online as far as carbon. And would this type of soil compostion be ok for a black pine in refinement? I live in N.Y. and going to repot my jbp next spring. Im going to try the half and half method

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Thanks Chris. Agricultural carbon means Biochar also. I would not say it’s charcoal, unless you personally made it in a fire using wood. Charcoal often has chemical additives to make it burn better. Equal parts akadama, pumice and lava (scoria) is best but you can use equal parts akadama and pumice too. Good luck! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@Chris-oq6kn]

@@TerryErasmusbonsai thanks soo much terry and i do see biochar to buy online.

Terry se my hoe grooi jy black pine van saad af asb

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Hi Cronje. I have detailed this in several videos on my channel. You will also find further information here www.bonsaitree.co.za/blogs/tree-talk/tagged/japanese-black-pine

[@hermanvandervoort4807]

😂 Terry,well done

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Thanks so much Herman! 🙏🏻

[@jacoligthelm8271]

Im curious if there is a way to make hackberry cuttings. I tried it before and none has made any roots. Also searched for it on Google but i do not get info on it. I think it would make nice compact trees if i could pull that off

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

I’m not sure Jaco, I’ve only done air layering which is very easy with them. I don’t know anytime who has tried from cutting either. Sorry.
