Don’t Prune Your Japanese Maple Until You See This!

@Bonsai Hub where I help beginners and experienced enthusiasts grow healthier, more beautiful bonsai trees with clear practical advice you can use straight away. I’ve been growing sacrifice branches on these bonsai trees for years - five years on two of them, and two years on another. Now one of them has finally done its job. In this video, I look at all three trees, what the sacrifice branches have achieved, and which one I’ve decided is ready to come off. But there’s a twist. The sacrifice branch I’ve chosen has an air layer, so instead of simply throwing away years of growth, I’m hoping to turn that branch into a new tree. I’ll reveal which tree I’ve chosen - but the actual cut is coming in part 2. If you’re learning bonsai trunk development, how to grow a thicker bonsai trunk, sacrifice branches on these techniques or air layering bonsai, follow along and see whether this five- year sacrifice branch can get a second life.
