    Hi, I love your videos, i'm kinda new into bonsai (around 1 year fully into it). I sowed about 20's pines this winter into a colander and they're now around 10 cm. The things is that I live in a flat and I have a balcony which give me alot of light but no direct sunlight, they're constantly in shade. Is it a big problem for them in the future?

    @@backbudbonsai the biggest cutting I've taken was pencil size. when it gets over 10mm thick you might as well airlayer. i had good success taking cuttings of the last years shoots right as the buds were swelling, and mid spring when the leaves at the base of the new shoots are about hardened off and they're around a 100mm long. the hotter it gets the more you have to protect and baby them.

    You mentioned in the beginning that you wont be doing much de candling of the buds low on the trunk? Im curious why?

  • @DarthMasiah
    @DarthMasiahАй бұрын

    these low shoots are really sacrifice branches, too. just as these shoots came from adventitious needle buds on the main trunk, the final branches will be selected from adventitious buds closer to the base of these low shoots; though probably more like the adventitious buds of those buds. in the first zoomed in shot you can see some small needle buds coming out. these are what we cut back to to compact the size of the tree. really healthy shoots will back bud on jbp, so i didn't want to prune too much at this stage of growing out. ill probably decandle a few shoots that i want to slow down, but i don't really need bifurcation of these shoots at the tips for more ramification at this stage because these shoots are still just sacrifice branches. see what i mean 🙂

    Wow dude these are picture perfect. How do you get the perfect cluster of buds at the base while growing it out to thicken?

  • @DarthMasiah
    @DarthMasiahАй бұрын

    it starts by doing the seedling cutting technique so there's no long initial growth of the stem. instead of elongating off it's first tap root(s), the needles have to make new roots after you cut the stem off. that's why i cut close to the first needles. out of these needles you get the adventitious buds.
