THIS VIDEO IS IN TWO PARTS, “A” AND “B”. THIS IS 21B. I TAKE A NURSERY SPECIMEN OF A JUNIPER THAT IS USUALLY USED AS GROUND COVER. IT WAS SO DENSE INSIDE I WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE BRANCHES, BUT I COULD FEEL SOME GOOD THICK STOCK TO WORK WITH. I GO THOUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF MAKING THIS LARGE LUMP INTO A BONSAI. PLEASE SEE PART “A” (21A) FOR THE BEGINNING.(***PLEASE VIEW PART 12 ABOUT THE WARNING ON HANDLING SPHAGNUM MOSS BEFORE YOU WORK WITH SPHAGNUM MOSS***)….

Im inspired.Off to get me a juniper to get started.Thanks.
Pruning causes brown tips, but the brown tips drop off and are replaced by new growth after about three weeks — if you keep your trees healthy. I only pinch (or “fingerprune”) my large junipers when I am prepping them for a show. Otherwise I shear them. Pinching is simply too time-consuming.
I get less die back cutting it. I do believe its less traumatic to the plant as well. Do what works for you.
Anyone can get good shape and form using secateurs but it will look dreadful to anyone who knows what they are looking at. Could you get the shape and form as good using the correct technique of pinching because I have never seen a tree in nature that looks like it has a natural canopy thats been pruned with secateurs. Are you trying to make your tree look as if it has grown in the wild with no interference from man, a bonsai, because using Secateurs will not help you achieve this affect.
Every thing I have read conserning Juniper bonsai say’s that you should never cut a juniper when pruning because it will make all the tips die and go brown, they should be pinched out, you say your a doctor so you must ave plenty of spare time to pinch out when pruning and not chop at it with secateurs, novices will probably kill there tree using your methodology, at least do it the correct way if your posting on a public site where novices look for advice and tips.
fuck you , is easy , not is bonsai killer
is that a green mound juniper? and can you do a revisit on it someday pleese.
thank you.
Hi Nick,
I would think that you should be able to cut the dangling piece fairly short, but give it extra rather than not enough foliage. You can always trim it down further later, if you see the plant is doing well. Hopefully this will spur some dormant buds to sprout,maybe from the trunk, creating a branch structure, and eventually, a tree-like vine.

The vine plant has a trunk that goes up about an inch and then curves down and then has a long, dangly vine that just hangs down and i am wondering if there is any way to trim it to make it look like a tree later on.
thanks, Nick
thank you, i will.
Hi,
Vines can make great bonsai. Grapes are a vine that make a nice bonsai. I just planted a bunch of grape seeds. Give it a try and let me know how it works out.
Jerry
thank you for all of your video’s, they have helped me a great deal. i am starting a bonsai garden and was at a local southerlands when a noticed a vine plant that had a coll trunk and amazing flowers, and i was wondering if it is possible to make i vine plant into a bonsai.
This is actually a Pre-Bonsai. I’m not saying it isn’t a bonsai because its on its way to being one. Bonsai trees take years to train.
