How to Create Drastic Bends on a Bonsai Trunk

Hi Everyone! In this video I show you a few methods that you can use in order to create drastic bends on your Bonsai trunk. I firstly demonstrate how to wire to create tight bends on a young Thuja tree. I then demonstrate how to create a dramatic bend on a thicker and older tree, a Japanese Larch. I start with a Larch that has a very straight trunk and create a bend through the use of raffia and thick wire! The second method is done without the use of trunk splitting - a practice in which you split the trunk vertically so that the trunk or branch becomes more flexible. Although I am not against this method of bending, I prefer to avoid it as scars from when the trunk was split may remain when the tree heals.
