Thank you for sharing. I dont have any in my collection but will remember this for the future
I find it relaxing to remove the old needles, and I struggle to leave the wild trees alone. There is an Asian exhibit at the Henry Dorley Zoo a couple hours away from me. I saw a pine there and it took everything I had to not touch it lol. I have a couple pines, one has been in recovery for 2 years and didn't have any growth last year. I added mycorrhizal fungus as the tree didn't have any left, used a couple of your methods, and the tree has new growth this year! A few sets of long needles, but he's coming back! I've had for 2 years, and have no intention of repotting it for at least another 6 as it's in a large comfy pot now
what about japanese red pine?
Does the same happen in young seedlings? I have some eastern white pines (Pinus strobus) from earlier this spring that are now about 6 inches tall and the bottom needles are turning brown on all of them. I thought it was due to their growth pattern, dropping their "baby" needles but can this be because of the autumn?
What do you do with all the pine needles? Turn it into compost or throw it out?
Yes sir, it is a lovely time of year
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter
You could do all the trees in matter of minutes by using a leaf blower and just blowing the needles off…… why waste time doing it by hand or use a shop vac and suck them off…. It will not harm the tree at all
Thank you Peter 🙂 is this cleaning done primarily for a more pleasant look or does it also help tree health?
It has to be done with kercher. 5 sek!
Humans role in the ecosystem.
It's really November 2, 2022 Peter.
I like their choice of weapon in th war against dead pine needles. I just got back from a trip to Northern California. I flew into San Francisco. Muir’s woods is amazing. Saw many large redwoods in the area and even came home with a large 10lb coulter pine cone. They are the heaviest pine cone in the world, nicknamed the widow maker. Now I know why!
Pine trees grow naturally in the woods where I grew up. Needles there fell naturally, and gardeners used some of the needles for acid loving plants like camellias. Nobody thought the trees were dying. Maybe people who have spent large amounts of time and money on bonsai are just a bit anxious.
410 K… and still counting… Great job!
Is this also the case for fir and spruce trees or just pines?
Trimaksih infonya om ….bonsai yg bagus
Great video, I don't have any 5 needle pines, just hundreds of JBP so lucky, but I do have a lot of my trees for sale at a nursery, I find myself tending to their pines, there was a table of Mugo and they had very large tags right on top, under each tag it was all yellow and dead, I buried the tags between the branches and explained to them what I did. ALso some trees don't get rotated and they are up against other trees or fences and the backs are always looking dead. They said I can move around whatever I want so try to give them all the best life and make them more attractive to buyers. Also they are happy because the people buying my prebonsai but a lot of other stuff so it's a good relationship. Thanks as always for your wonderful films, it's very peaceful for me.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, even though I’ll never be able to work with pines like you do, collection of trees & forest composition in background is mesmerising & inspiring
Cleaning the needles is a very therapeutic activity.
Thank you for this!
Humans wireing, bending, cutting and cleaning trees or trees (as a symbol of life) wireing, bending, cutting and cleaning humans?…higher philosophy of bonsaism.
Thank you, Mr. Chan, like always 🌹👌
In nature, no one takes them off. The needles just fall off. I wonder what would happen if the needles were not taken off the trees?
Vườn Bonsai quá tuyệt vời.❤❤
👍👌🙂
Color bonsai 👍👍👍👍
I was just wondering if this is the same for European and Japanese Larches.
Thanks Peter, all good stuff.
“Second and third year needles that drop.”
Thank you for stating that 😀
It's been a while since I've watched one of your videos, so it may not be a new change, but I LOVE the new camera. (I'm assuming that's what's making the difference) The footage looks so much more clear and crisp than it used to!
I have a 3-year-old Siberian-pine bonsai (pinus cembra, 5-needle pine). And yes, most of its previous-year needles have browned.
I have a white pine that shedded many needles in April, but it had lots of buds that opened up later.
I have a question. If a bonsai is due to be repoted can you put it back into the same pot by trimming the roots or does it have to go into a larger pot?
Just what I needed. I have some new pines where I was not sure if they were under watered but clearly just the fall needle drop.
Hello Peter and Heron Nurseries, I'm very new to your channel and Bonsai's in general. Of course I've always had interest in bonsai but never made the jump to actually trying to grow one. Since finding your channel, I've been captivated by your bonsai teachings and in the past week have watched dozens of your videos. I feel now I can now take on a bonsai project. My plan is to take the cheaper route first, by harvesting a couple common juniper from my local woods which I actually done yesterday. A couple of the trees I dug up, have great bonsai like shape already and I'm thinking they are a great starting point.
Being in a colder part of Canada, I potted the trees I dug, and plan to bury them in for our cold winters. The trees themselves are cold hardy being they survive in nature here but being potted now, ill protect them by putting the pot and all under the soil surface.
We have 2 types of the common juniper growing here, one being the tall variation, the other the ground hugging variety. I only took the taller variety for a first attempt and wondering if you have any instructional videos on this type. I searched your videos and Playlist and seen only videos regarding the lower variety but not sure if I missed a video there anywhere.
This question goes for any of your viewers as well.
💕👍
pine leaves look yellow, this needs to be given therapy to make it look fresher
Over here, you can see a couple of angels that are cleaning a customers pine with tweezers.
Would there be any benefit to leaving the removed needles on the soil surface?
very beautiful, respect from Indonesia🙏
