Bonsaify | Fall Work on a Field Grown Japanese Black Pine in Middle Development: Pruning and Wiring

Eric revisits a large field grown Japanese black pine that he decandled in 2021. 00:00:38 This tree is in middle development and has some good taper in the trunk already, from 6 inches tapering down to 2.5-3 inches. Eric plans to remove the large sacrifice branch to further the tapering process and help heal a large scar that was created in 2019 from a large stub. 00:01:49 Pruning because Eric let the tree run this year. He will be removing some longer, larger branches to bring the tree back in and make the trunk look bigger. Eric will also remove the sacrifice branch for more distributed growth and to encourage lots of bud growth. 00:03:07 Eric discusses design decisions and overall tree health. 00:04:45 First branch cut back. 00:05:46 Second branch cut back because it has a too long and straight section, and cutting will improve branch taper. 00:07:23 Unhealthy looking branch and why Eric's not worried. 00:08:07 Pulling last years' needles from around the outside or bottom. 00:09:20 Looking at top and beginning formation or crown - removing sacrifice branch and stub. 00:12:16 Wiring to enable more decisions about branching. 00:14:18 Obvious cuts Eric needs to make and more wiring. 00:15:37 Rotating branch junctions for cleaner branch structure that's easier to maintain. 00:16:35 Bald spot - bending longest section of top branch down and back to create good crown foundation. 00:19:34 Rotate down and watch bark to limit splits. Additional wire added for stabilization. 00:21:33 Quick spin to see from all angles. Eric set the structure for the primary and secondary branches in the lower part of the tree and now the primary branches on top of tree, laying the foundation for the crown.
