How To Style A Juniper Bonsai - Greenwood Bonsai
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video Corin demonstrates how to style a 'Lockdown Juniper'. He first selects a front and begins to select branches. After trimming the pre-trained material he applies wire to the branches to bring the design to life.
Once the tree has been styled Corin then repots the Chinese Juniper bonsai to complete the composition.

This is magic. Corin is so skilled, fast but never careless. Such a great eye for design whilst being respectful of the health of the tree. Amazing 🤩
It’s great how much detail you go into some things. It’s nice to be so deliberate, so that there are no questions or misunderstandings are left after watching your video.

Looking at my lockdown juniper from last year thinking I’d done an amazing job and it took me 3 hours, then Corin knocks this up in 15 minutes flat. Think I’ll get another one now I’ve seen how it should be done.
Great video again Corin. Thanks for posting!

Loving the videos Corin, when it's the right time of year could you please show how to prune a Japanese white pine to promote back budding, I've got the candle pinching absolutely sorted but I can't get much in the way of back budding on my pines. These lockdown junipers look like great value for money.
Happy Easter thanks for the great video.

Hi, I'm new to this channel that I discovered by chance a short time ago, I'm Spanish and I don't speak English, could you somehow, even if it is to put the subtitles of the videos in Spanish? I am a lover of bonsai, and although with my eyes I usually keep things, obviously if I could read it it would be for me and I think that also for many Spaniards who follow this channel, it would be much better. Anyway, you can or cannot do it, my high esteem as a bonsai professional, greetings from a Spaniard from Cadiz (Spain) regards

I don't suppose you could ship a Chinese Juniper or pine to Thailand could you? Just getting into working with Bonzai trees and would like to have one of Junipers or pines in a pot so I could try my hand at turning it into a nice work of art myself. Or, know of any place here in Thailand that sells these plants, I have looked around quite a bit and have not been very lucky.
