In this lecture Michael walks us through his decision making process in styling a contorted cherry. To keep the tree healthy and strong, he decides only to make a few cuts and let the tree grow for at least a year. In doing so, he keeps the momentum of the tree going, speeding up the progress made. If he were to style the entire tree now, pruning and detail wiring the branches, it would slow down and need at least a year to recover. Michael also explains how he seals a big wound and discusses the next steps for this tree. This video is a free preview lecture from our Bonsai Intermediate Course 2.

Bonsai cherry ๐๐
Excellent advice sir. I like this channel, just discovered it, so I subscribed. Cheers.
Isn't Silver Leaf a problem where you are? Looks like Kojo No Mai.
Honestly i would have air layered the curved trunk to the left and made 2 trees. Nice draw me in demo.
If anyone has any idea on where I could get that specific brand of cut paste, I'd be very interested in buying some. I've heard multiple bonsai professionals swear by it.
nothing changed.
Great writer and great teacher! It's calming to see Michael reason through it. Thanks for the video.
