Hi Andrew, keep in mind: Open substrate. Lots of sun, and -especially in summer- lots of water. I see many people killing juniper by underwatering for fear of rootrot whatever that might be.

As always TOP explanation!! Small suggestion. When you say that one should definitely not pinch the tips you should also explain why that is not good. By pinching all the growth, you stop the tree from growing, so it stalls. As a result, you can easily lose a few months... you obviously know this, but novice bonsai lovers usually don't. The goal in any intervention is to keep the growth in the tree

Thanks for the video, Jelle. I'm new to bonsai and definitely new to junipers. Here in Panama, it's difficult to obtain many of the species that are "good" for bonsai. I recently acquired a Parsonii juniper. I've heard a lot of conflicting information about them as bonsai trees, so I'd like to know your opinion on the matter. Thank you very much for all the great videos; they have been of great help.

Good video, this idea of cutting the juvenile foliage is wrongly wide spread. The emergence of juvenile foliage is the answer to an energy imbalance problem. The tree produces this type of foliage, because it is more cost-effective from an energy point of view, the needles maximize the photosynthetic surface, with low biomass and nitrogen investment by the plant. The tree wants to spend as little energy as possible to produce foliage that allows it to recover energy in the short term. It is often the possible response, in weakened/stressed plants or in plants where foliage has been drastically reduced (imposed and abrupt energy reduction). the way is to prevent the stress response from being triggered, keeping the plants healthy, being judicious and keeping the percentage of foliage pruned in each season low. If the tree has already triggered the juvenile response, the most correct thing to do is to NOT CUT the juvenile foliage, (don't stress the organism anymore), and let the tree recover the energy invested and be patient. Correct any health issues and remove small amounts of juvenile foliage in the coming seasons by letting the tree build up its energy levels, until the plant understands that it can go back to investing in mature, scale-like foliage. The best way to deal with juvenile foliage is prevention. BR

I now believe it's a good sign at I can now handle. But as a novice, any advice if obviously appreciated.

I can not leave the tree in the sun all day during the summer, do I only leave it in the sun during the morning hours then bring it to shade? What fertilizer do you recommend? Thank you!

Hi Xavier, Did you check out the cuttings video? I have not found an ideal time. Normally in later winter, early spring I go through all cuttings of the previous year and pot the rooted ones up individualle. THe healthy, unrooted ones I pop back in a "shared pot" and leave them along for another year. I take cuttings when I prune my junipers, in any season. I have not observed a pattern where I have low succes in one season over an other.
