How to cloud prune - part 1 - inspired by Jake Hobson and Niwaki techniques

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

September 2020 update. Yesterday I did the stage 2 prune - pulling and tying every branch down to around a right-angle to the trunk. Scary stuff! I'll upload the video soon. I learnt a few important lessons I'd like to share. Do subscribe and click the notification bell if you want to be told when it goes live. Best wishes, Tony.

    Sorry Donna, I only know it's a type of cypress tree, but don't know which one. I've pruned it three times now and stick with the timings for my box hedging, which is spring and late summer. The last pruning made them look great as I stripped the branches from just behind the pompom right back to the trunk. This has given them real definition and moved them more towards 'cloud' and away from 'pom pom'. Best of luck with your own tree!

    Thank you so much! I'm afraid I don't know the variety, I just remember buying two very small and cheap trees about 10 years ago. When they started to outgrow their spot, something had to be done, so I decided to give cloud pruning a go. Delighted how they're turning out. Have you seen the second follow-up video? Hope you get to have a go!

Simply click on the cog in the bottom-right of the video screen, select Playback Speed, and then choose the speed you'd like. You may also wish to watch stage two, which again has some close-ups of the cutting and knots: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y5yJr8eCqKXXY7w.html

You can hear everything I have to say okay, but the Bob Ross quotes are a little more elusive!
