Nice video with new methods, I have several hundred JBP and JRP, the oldest about 5 years, looking forward for them to bark up.

Thank you for covering the very basics. It’s not always easy to find content for those of us who are just getting started with growing our own bonsai. This has been very helpful.

Thank you, we'll next japanese black pine I will indeed just let it grow. I got two little ones in a 1½ inch pots all contorted up.

I have 9 air layered JBP about the size of your tree at 2:20 (some twice as thick.) They need to be wired for better movement, but now I think I will try your stick method, thanks 👍

[@steveanacorteswa3979]

You can do some of both, the wire also helps to thicken the trunk, it's fun to have a bunch of different types of JBP.
