I think this man is a kind of guru in bonsai, he speaks about 40 years of developing a bonsai trunk? Who has that patience? I would say that for us bonsai lovers, we are lucky to have Masters like him that can make this work for so many years, in order to purchase a decent bonsai. Respect for the mastery and the patience of this man.(Please excuse my English :D Greeting from Germany)

the bit about the sacrificial branch blew my mind...nobody ever put it so simply, love it!

Bill Valavanis is a invaluable treasure to American Bonsai as well as Bonsai in general. Thank you for this Christmas present!

This was my favorite from the series so far. Maples are by far the best trees in my opinion

I've never watched this gentleman before. I really enjoyed his teaching style. I would love to see more of his content. So much wisdom!

Bill is a great teacher isn't he?

"I got lucky, right? No, its almost 60 years experience." haha :P

This was the best info packed in a 30 min clip i ever seen tnx

A very experienced and knowledgeable bonsai grower. Lots of tips that only come with experience. Great video.

These are amazing and beautiful. Sublime! Amazing his years of experience and patience. I hope it will be passed on.

I really like your demonstrations. Japanese maples are my favourite bonsai. Thank you for uploading this interesting video. Merry Christmas.

William, Beautiful trees and invaluable guidance for all beginner and experienced growers alike.

Amazing. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Loved your Garden.

Brilliant information and a beautiful collection of maples you have there! . Thank you. Subbed

Just incredible, the work and time that goes into this. Just wow.

Wonderful video! Inspirational, and enlightening. This teaches so much about long term development. This means much more (to me) than videos of demo's, which go into details, when I feel the overview is what eludes many starting artists. Thank you so much! Wish there was one like this of pines, which I don't seem to understand.

William needs to start a youtube channel. He's a joy to watch.

Guy G. may have mentioned him when I was young, but I don't remember ever seeing this guy, thanks for sharing! I appreciate his advice and his mutiple examples over time. If only I could get a haddle on that aspect myself. He hit me with his subtle humour, buuut not those shoes and socks might need to be addressed.😝✌💚🌲GO BONSAi and STAY SAFE! 😷🙏

I really love your technique!- you got really good exposure to your NabariI totally complements the Bonsai pots you Have them in. ,I’m also crazy in love with the Nabari on your cascade to your left side (my right )of you over there 👉 really Beautiful work! I’m Still somewhat of a rookie I’ve been in The hobby/Journey for 9 yrs -I have four Japanese Maples two are pre-bonsai (not there yet) in which one I air-layered off of the 2-trees in my back yard (4 yrs old)Originally it was three formal upright’s connected at the base Splitting three ways. I can honestly say I’m obsessed with the hubby its really all I think about..

Again , brilliant video and very informative .

Just found my Chistmmas present in April 2021. Thank you!

Really great video and beautiful Maples!😊

Nice! This video is real well made!

Really interesting, thoroughly enjoyed it this video. These are some beautiful maples.

The un-developed tree explanation was helpful. There is a lot of info out there on how to work with ancient material but not a lot on how to get from seedling to quality mature stock

Bác nhiều cây đẹp quá 👍 một tình yêu tuyệt vời dành cho bonsai!

Nice thank you

Good day Bill and Oscar, beautiful trees as always. A quick question please. A friend of mine has a 2,5m trident maple in his garden and it's growing too close to a wall of his house and said I can have it. When would be the best season in which to dig it up and also the best time to trunk chop it so I can force buds on it? Thank you 😀 I'm in the middle of autumn at the moment. Regards from South Africa

Wow very beautiful bonsai sir

i love maples bonsai.

Fantastic 👌

Maple bonsai very good,,,

Amazing video thank you. Any chance you can link me that blog from 2018 or 2019 with the info on seedlings and taproots? Also what balance of fertilizer to you use for growth on a maple

Happy Holidays everyone at Bonsai Empire

A true master

You guys should do a video on how to make chrysanthemum bonsai like the ones he has on the background!!! I can’t find any videos or info on KZread on how to grow chrysanthemum bonsai

Pretty incredible stories and material. Yes, this one here has been in a pot for 120 years. Excuse me sir?

How long do the wires stay on the trunk at the early stage? do they have to come off, and be re-applied regularly as the tree grows?

Rất tốt, ngày cắt cành xong, sử dụng gì boi vết cắt thế, cảm ơn nhiều, rất hữu ích... tuyệt vời...

I would love to purchase some Japanese rough bark maples!!!

Eu acho a coisa mais linda do mundo estás plantas queria poder ter e fazer maravilha

With those young trees, you're starting to style the trunk and some of the branches. How do you get taper in the trunk without doing a trunk chop?

Maple,acer palmatum.its good👍👍👍

Its Nice demo. But how will i know when, and who like to be trimmed. When half and full. Yes! Thank you I will look back again your video.

Hey Bill! Do you keep your trees outside for the whole year? Or do they get sheltered in winter?

My maples hate being wired and the wired branches just die off - I have much better results when I use weights and guy wires. Is this something particular to the cultivar or am I just unlucky ?

Great

If I prune a maple, will the trunk continue to thicken? Or should I grow it until I am happy with the size of the trunk?

What type of maple is at 18:00? Love that tree!

That small and young bonsai, can the main stem grow as big as that 40years old bonsai?

Rất tự nhiên

How do you get lower branches? All mine I never get lower branches.

Bill"Some people call it a trunk chop, but that's street talk" Valvanis.

LOL.. ! I love the special tool comment.!!

Una de las exposiciones y trabajos que realizas

*This* maple has engulfed the hope diamond, you can't see it any more.

How do you get lower branches?

I think the issue is you spelled it wrong, it’s a “Seigen,” or in full, Acer Palmatum Seigen Aureum.

Can anyone tell me the address thanks

I’ve noticed that everybody takes the trees out of the pot while wiring etc. why is this?

during the early life of a wired bonsai, they are susceptible to bonsai eating foragers such as the dwarf manbearpig.

You don’t need 60 years experience to do starters Bonsai. Heck any bonsai! There is not right or wrong way in Bonsai.

Thanks for not spreading the Wuhan Virus to the KZread viewers.

Damn this looks so fucked up :) Great job on this maple :) !!!

Сделайте пожалуйста субтитры на русском языке. Очень хочется смотреть ваш канал.

The unnecessary mask muffles the audio too bad cuz the trees are beautiful and the expertise is superb. Wearing a mask that doesn't cover the nostrils is like wearing your underwear around your knees and I would love to have been able to hear more clearly the audio part

@@jameswellsiii3698 you'll notice I said "the trees are beautiful and the expertise is superb." That is a respectful remark. And it's a true that many people wear their face mask underneath their nose. according to experts it's close to not wearing one at all. in this video that's only the case partially. One can call things as they are seen and still be respectful about it. I have only the highest regard for this man's long history and standing and expertise in the Bonsai community

@@howarddiskokid3889 Why are you worried about his nose when there is no one around him and he doesn't even need the mask at all? All he's doing is virtue signaling anyway. But besides that, people who wear glasses can't see if they cover their nose.
