Japanese maple bonsai deadwood. This a short video on improving some of the deadwood that has occured on the bonsai. When properly treated maples can heal rather quickly. With a pen knife i explored the deadwood section. I had a couple of trees years ago but haven t been into it for years due to having kids job etc.
Jin shari and uro. The best time to prune bonsai japanese maples is winter its dormant season. Since some 5 years i have an old japanese maple. I got it from a nursery specialized in maples.
A jin is meant to show age or show that the tree has had a struggle to survive. Kids are a bit older now and job is slower so i am coming back to the hobby hate calling it a hobby. That s why a japanese maple with dead wood looks very un natural most of the time except perhaps in some parts of britain in which case it can become a style. Creating deadwood on bonsai in the form of jin or shari can enhance the tree s character significantly.
Hi first post here on the forums so please let me know if i have posted this in the wrong section. Japanese maple identify bonsai forum bonsai empire. Bonsai japanese maples can be cut anytime during the year but they take longer to heal after cuts. In other words even though i added wood hardener to the deadwood of this bonsai to be it stopped working and the wood started to rot.
I recently acquired a japanese maple and would like some. In nature deadwood is created when a tree is hit by lightning exposed to sustained periods of drought or when branches snap due to ice stress wind or weight of snow. I am new to the forum and relatively new to bonsai. Jin 神 is a bonsai deadwood technique used on branches or the top of the trunk the leader.
Prune bonsai japanese maples year round but sparingly. A jin is a bare stripped part of branch and a shari is a barkless part of trunk. Jins are created in nature when wind lightning or other adversity kills the leader or a branch further down the tree. Anyway i have a japanese maple for a very long time it was a gift many years ago.
