@Rylan Decker you are welcome xD

Have you done an update video of this tree? Would love to see how it has progressed with the styling and maintenance since this original video. Thanks, keep on keeping on

I must admit I really enjoy your channel. While I'm not planning to get into the practical side of bonsai for the moment, the theory behind it is quite fascinating. Best wishes to everyone at Eisei-en, stay safe and healthy.

Who would dislike this video? I am not even a bonsai artist but I like to watch these kind of videos while doing work.

By far the best tutorials! So well documented and such enjoyable presentation. I appreciate your focusing on styling the apex and showing it to us so clearly. Thank you Bjorn☺

Just fantastic to watch the process. Thank you for the video and the education.

I grasp you have tons of trees you use on your channel. If I can make a suggestion, try to come up with an easier way for us (the audience) to follow the progression of certain trees. Maybe give trees you plan on featuring year after year unique names or just a way for us to specifically identify them. I really enjoy your content. Keep up the great work, Dustin (Iwakuni, Japan)

I second this. Being able to easily follow a particular tree over time will become essential in the long run. Names, playlists, anything that helps is appreciated. I just semi-bonsai my house plants by cutting. It doesn’t compare craft wise, but

He is the owner of a commercial Bonsai nursery and this tree is just basically beginning stock for him and as he mentions in the video he has 100 of them. I don't think he will be able to reasonably name them or ever feature them again in following videos. He does have some world class specimens that I'm sure have names but it doesn't even matter as they are easily identifiable by sight.

Hell yeah!! Thanks you so much Bjorn!! I really LOVE Hinokis and a lot of the cultivars and the're not to much information on the net. I really apreciatte

Very nice, Hinoki has become one of my favorite varieties to play with, great instructional video Bjorn

Bjorn , really love the way you give a lot of details about the process before doing anything on the plant. Superb presentation, love you ! From India.

The apex worked out real well. I did get nervous and clenched up a tad when watching the final bending up there. Funny how we can get so involved in the build. Cheers for the video. Craig

Is there any chance of more vids on field grown material in the future? 😀

I love bonsai

BEAUTIFUL WORK

loved the tree

Excellent. Learned several things I can apply to our Hinoki Cypress, and other similar trees. Really enjoy your description, guidance in approaching design considerations, and walking us through improving our bonsai. Thank you again.

Let's learn a lot!!!

Good job Bjorn! Very compliments,you have a great talent! 👍👍👍

Good job.

omg such a beautiful tree

Estupendo tip para ir debilitando y posteriormente eliminando raíces gruesas mal posicionadas en el nebari. ¡Un saludo desde Morelia, México!

I'm not an expert in bonsai but my first look at this tree said me the best front is with the nibari knot. Instincly estaethic for me if the top curves in the right direction. Good choice to manipulate the rootline!👍

i am a local of Tennesee as well thank you for these videos i love bonsia and you are teaching me so much so that one day i can try if myself thanks

Very nice tree, Bjorn, I am always struggling with imagining the look of the apex before the styling begins but you always convince me with quite natural look of it. I would still like to see video of smoothing out the horizontal cut of former apex and further work with the current one. Thank you very much for these videos.

Really interesting video. Great to see some information on taming unsightly roots in the meantime. Can you apply the same “weakening” techniques to deciduous material, such as an English Oak

Thx for the root removal approach!

Nice bonsai master❤️👍👍👍

Amazing, keep them coming!

amazing and fun species,tthanks

Amazing! Thank You!!

Bravo,regards from South Africa

Aloha! Thanks for give us useful information. It´s good to know how can we manage the undesired roots around the nebary and when we should used pinching or pruning. Have a nice week! Mahalo!

Thank you for the video learned a lot. Creating Shari to weaknesses the big root is just genius. Never read it or demonstrate before. But why you not air layering the tree to start a perfect root base which connects to a formal upright tree?

Awesome tutorial. Got a few of this cultivar I’m working on so this is both timely and extremely informative. Thanks, keep growing.

Amazing

It's interesting video.THanks for share

Fantastic video! Would love to find a mature hinoki like that to work with. Really enjoyed the video, so informative🙏🏻

Thanks , learned a lot from that episode 👍

Beautiful! I love your insight and technique. I wish I had help with my boxwood, I just put it in a better pot and wired it yesterday but I can always use some suggestions. I did plant it over a piece of broken pottery to develop the nebari, it has a lot of finer roots on it and was started as a bonsai. The trunk has a lot of movement and I want to make sure I position the branches the best to it’s advantage. I need to find a bonsai group local to me.

Wow, so much knowledge...

nice work

Just bought one so I found that really useful thanks

Great tree control, and two more growths this year. Tx for the lesson. Do the other 99 get this workup also? Good shirt today.

Wish I could grow one of those here in Phoenix Az. So beautiful!

Beautiful

Good work!

Excellent work of art. Than you. From Tsuyama Japan where Tsuyama Hinoki(Cypress) was found.

i still got a lot problem build apec

Brilliant again.

This dude knows his bonsai.

I've recently begun taking care of a Hinoki cypress and was wondering when the best time to prune was. Great video as always.

He says early summer. What I'd like to know though is, is there a bad time to prune a Hinoki, is it bad to trim one now in November in the UK. I have one and I'd like to work on it now.

I love de result

Fantastic 🙏🏻🕉🌲

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I have an Hinoki Cypress forest planting of 3 which is now ready to be styled. You have given me lots to think about and a way forward. I would love to see a video of how this tree turned out, is there one?

hello bjorn , nice job , please keep up the good work, i was wondering if you read our comments or not we never see any replies from you , if you want people to view your work you reply not to all the comments pick a few in random, i have been following your work for many years, HAVE YOU DONE PSION GRAFTING ON HINOKI CYPRESS ? PLEASE MAKE A SHORT VIDEO IF YOU CAN , PLEASE TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE, AND WEAR A MASK,

wow so beautiful bonsai tree good your work bro 😊❤❤❤

j ai beaucoup apprécier la vidéo bien expliquer

could you please do a video covering Taxodium Distichum?

Can this Shari on roots be done on deciduous trees

Nice Pre Top !

I didn't expect

The right corner slightly on the longer edge of pot off the girdled side . Is the most elegant trunk line. Too bad those roots are so defined.. Hopefully the next repot or two can take care of them.

Thet has been amizing

that apex could almost be it's own bonsai

Great video and very clear explanation! Too bad because now I have got to get me a Hinoki somehow... :-) Little trees... damn addictive!

Fell asleep before he started working on it

@eiseienbonsai would you perform this very sophisticated technique to a broadleaf tree with same flaws too? And why would/wouldn't you do it? Best wishes from Germany, absolutely enjoying your content and learn every time 🙌🏼🙏🏼 Stay safe☺️ Rouven

Gracias.

❤️

I just can't get over the s-shape at the apex. I might have tried to make it look like it was struck by lightning and maybe carve the top part of the trunk that would have been my first idea. Then again I'm an amateur I don't know if this kind of tree would work nicely with deadwood- It would be a somewhat complementary to the shari tho. Maybe I'm not thinking long term enough.

Hi Bjorn! Great to see you made this very educational video on one of my favourite species the Hinoki! 👏There are a lot of misunderstandings about this species as a Bonsai and how to take care of them! So good one you to help Bonsai enthusiasts understand just how to work on them! But if I may make one comment or question: would it not have been possible to cut back the top some 10/15cm higher in the earlier preparation, leaving a longish stump to make a Jin out of and then bend up one of the lower placed branches straight upward to make the top out of?! Or to have cut it off the unwanted top at an angle just above a bendable front branch that then would be bent upwards to create a more straight top out of! As it is now, this all curly top looks great from a distance but is very unlogical on an otherwise very straight upright tree! Hope you don't mind me asking/commenting?! I can recommend all beginners and artists alike to give this species a try! I have one in my care for over 25 years now and enjoy its beauty every day! Stay safe Bjorn and keep up your good work for the Bonsai community! 👍👏 Cheers from Holland, Hans van Meer.

Maybe you can show your hinoki on youtube as well, i think that is going to be interesting. Best, KH.

Thank you for the video. What soil mix are you using for this tree?

Does this root technique work for pines too? I have one with an ugly nebari :P

Help I have a 2 Hinoki Cypress trees that I have decided to bonsia myself, wired them both. One tree is very lush and green looking like it is thriving. The other tree has started to wither. The one that is thriving I put in a very large pot. The one that isn't, was put in to a small bonsia pot. I have since last week out it in to a large pot just to give it some aid. I water both trees everyday. When it was in the small pot you could see the exposed top roots as the water would wash away the top soil. For the last two days I have decided to submerge the pot in a large bucket of water. I haven't over filled it, around 3cm below the rim of the pot. Please give any advice. Should I put moss on top of the soil bed? It's really drying out now

I think you will really need to repot it And also use some moss, moss will protect the outer layer of soil, but make sure it wont climb up the bonsai

Wonderful hinoki will you remove those very bottom branches as it fills out ?

Hi: Could one graft cuttings from the Hinoki to the interior limbs, to get more inner foliage? Thank you. Shane

Do you have a video ( on your website as a subscriber) or on here on how to pot a large hinoki this big from nursery stock into a bonsai pot?? I can’t seem to find anything online anywhere

Hola desde España,do you prune a nana gracilis the same way you prune that one in the video?

So, would making a raft style, be good for the trees with less follage nead the trunk?

Did you ever try to use cytokinine hormone gel to promote inner growth?

In nature, why would that top branch have turned that way? I didn't see the original top so I can't say if you should have lift or not.

How much of the root ball did you reduce for the initial potting into a bonsai pot? What part of the season did this occur? Looking to potting my own hinoki that’s similar in size 😬

Does this also apply to Star Cypress? I just got mine and have no idea what to do

Do you have a video from when you repotted it and turned it into a bonsai? If so, where can I find the video or do you have any recommendations?

❤️❤️❤️

My Hinoki cypress foliage is starting to turn brown from the top, we are at the end of summer here. Is that a normal process for this species?

Right on you're from Tennessee do your hanoki Cypress tend to yellow at all in the beginning of the winter? I live in Knoxville and both of mine even though dramatically varies in size started yellowing around the same time. You know when we got our first cold snap even though there has been no Frost. Any tips or ideas?

My Hinoki bonsai has become really dry and brittle, and I’m terrified of it dying SOS please help I don’t know how much to prune how much is too little or too much And how do I know if it’s still alive?

Do these principles apply to dwarf versions of Hinoki?

Wonder!

Is this tree the same as thuja?

👏👏👏👏👏

Man I love the cypress work. Not a whole lot of good information on pruning development, trimming,etc. I have a few and it’s been tough. Many doe moes.

Anyone know the cultivar of this hinoki cypress?

WOW

Somehow that cut off apex and then bent over sidebranch to fake the apex sticks out like a sore thumb to me.

Circling roots (14:00) - This is exactly why i talk so much about air pruning pots & why they should be used by both bonsai nurseries & regular tree nurseries, specially former. Sure this was field grown but this damage to roots was inflicted when it was grown in a pathetic pot design, prior to being planted in the field. Trees grown in air pruning pots from seed stage & then planted into ground will never have this problem. Many tree nurseries have woken up & switched to superior air pruning pots but bonsai community in general, STILL believes in ancient, outdated, traditional pot designs. Their awareness of air pruning pots is shockingly low.

Air pruning pots give superior results for air layering too. I have seen many bonsai nurseries use a plastic wrap or a regular pot cut into 2 halves for air layering. And those will give pathetic roots, which have to be corrected at least a year later after cutting.

Bad roots at a Japanese bonsai nursery. Seems to be caused by ignorance of air pruning concept. Only a traditional poor pot design can spoil the root system so badly. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hXaCsMOBl5XVmJs.html
