Cheating in Bonsai: Creating and Developing a Tanuki
In this video, Terry Erasmus showcases the process of creating and nurturing a Tanuki bonsai. Previously, Terry had attempted a Phoenix graft bonsai using a split, live juniper trunk merged with the trunk of a collected juniper, which unfortunately did not survive. In this demonstration, he details the steps he took to prepare the deceased trunk, integrate the live trunk, and foster the growth of the tree as a cohesive unit.

Autumn tasks on Trident maple root over rock bonsai
Good Lord, from the thumbnail, it looked like you had found a cadaver in the woods!
Thank you for your knowledge of the art of pines,,I have a few in the ground growing,, im ready to put them in a pot but I don't know How and when to do, keeping them alive,,pls help???
Did anyone else keep wanting to push that leaf aside?!!
I know I did!!! 😂 Tough being in the video and taking the video.
Our swamp cypresses and bald cypresses in the UK are like this on dry land: heavy foliage weighing the branches down. Some have deadwood carved by nature, as do some of the dawn redwoods that were planted in the park across the road from my house 30 years ago. They are still young but are developing beautiful trunks now! Bonsai is artistic license, whether you want to create a work of art from a specific species or take the natural route of clipping and growing. However, cypresses are definitely one that can benefit from a helping hand along the way to get things set while growing in pots! I love it and love the natural look! I'm looking to take on one that's needing a chop, but I just need some advice first before touching it! If you can help, that would be great!
Hi, Can you give me some information on hard pruning one these im thinking of taking on from a friend he has got it looking great but its still very tall 4ftish beautiful trunk on it all the growth is up top i do have a 10 year old one i grew from seed but know whare ready to be worked on as bonsai yet, my younger has loads buds on the branches already in june in full growth how do they bud back though is what im wondering if i done a major chop on this other other other one and when would be best time about November?
Hello and thanks for the question. They cut probably be cut back hard anytime during active growth as they are generally so strong and will easily bud back. Digging out would be same time as you would repot, at bud break. I would cut back hard to roughly where you think the chop should be (depends on the design you have in mind). Then allow it to bud and select a single strong shoot to develop as the new trunk line. Once this is broom handle thickness or so then shape that original trunk chop to a nice angle tapering into the new trunk line. They do heal large scars but the larger the scar the longer it will take of course. You may end up having to fill the cavity which forms with cement in order to give it a good base for callous formation. I don’t want to refer to a date as your climate and seasons are different to mine.
Perhaps this is a dumb question, but can wiring the tree into the pot cause wire scars on the nebari?
Not a dumb question at all. Yes it can, assuming your wire crosses over a root and you leave the wire on for a long time. There are various methods for using wire to secure trees. One includes hammering sticks into the root ball from the sides and then securing the wire over that. If you don’t have a developed root ball then that’s not an option. Then securing wire over deeper roots is another solution.
Terry. Ek het black pine saat. Tips om dit te ontkiem asb
Yes. Read this: www.bonsaitree.co.za/blogs/tree-talk/japanese-black-pine-from-seed-year-1
Very beautiful tree sir, I always learn something when I watch your channel, so glad I came across it.
Thanks so much. Much appreciated!
Porque haircut si no tiene cabello
Interesting
You work quickly 😀🌲
The workload pressure is intense. I have to 😉😂
Very cool and i have now been inspired to do my own root over rock
Great! Best time for this is spring of course. Also, try to use species which will manage in the kind of light you will grow the planting in. For me to keep moss alive in Summer and provide sufficient sun for a pine is not possible. I would change that.
This is turning into quite the impressive little forest.
Thanks so much! Yes, the client is very happy and I think with time it will only get better,
Does this work on other pines too?
Should work for any pine where a thick trunk is desirable.
That tree is so pissed.
Nope. Just like me, my trees don’t drink. 😊
You mention my issue at the 1:30 mark. Anyways great work. Look forward to the next one!
Cool, thanks!
The thinning out process would be valuable to see as well. I have several shimpaku that have strong branches directly above weaker branches coming from same main branch. Basically stacked on one another.
You need to keep the strong. Or you could wire and twist the growth to lay the branches flattish, so the strong no longer shades the weak.
Great vid. I particularly appreciate the explanations regarding the limp foliage of Junipers available to us here in SA and the techniques to remedy this. Thanks Terry
... And of course by using the tanuki approach one can create something really special in our country with what is available.
I would appreciate your advice on digging out an "urban yamadori" ,ie garden planted Juniper... When would you suggest is the best time to dig out a "rather old", say 30 years, junipers from the garden?
And any other after care. Thank you Terry
Yes. This is what I hope to convey through the video. Thanks.
Ok. I will comment on that in your next comment
Great transformation! Would love to see more of your work. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much! Very generous of you. There are over 200 videos on my channel and if I dare say so myself, this one was not one of the best but I am sincerely glad you enjoyed it.
Peter Chan mentions this and is always sorta of bitter about it, saying people called him a fool for doing this.
That’s interesting, not sure why anyone would call him a fool for using the technique. It’s been employed in Takamatsu (growing center for pines in Japan) for a very long time, this is where I learn about it. Translated it means “cage wiring”. Works brilliantly.
Hey Terry, We love your early develop videos and find they are super helpful techniques that we've been working into our nursery Do you have a long video detailing wire bite as a method to thicken pines?
That’s awesome! Wow, what a compliment. Thank you. Yes, the short links to the full length video. Did it a while ago so quality of the camera work leaves much to be desired but I’m sure it will be helpful to you. Here’s the link just in case: How to thicken pines for shohin ruclips.net/video/L3AN0L83JtQ/видео.html
良い素材ですね 何の木でしょうか?
それは私が地面で切断して育つ多くのAcer buergerianumの1つです。見てくれてありがとう。
Hi sir! May I ask how can we graft black pine sion on the big trunk? Should we do sion graft or approach graft?
That’s not something I can assist you with as I’ve never done it myself. Both approaches could work but I think approach graft in such a situation is more likely to succeed. Grafting onto an old and barked trunk is not easy.
Nice one Terry!!
Thank you kindly! 🙏🏻
The toughest part of removing a tree in ground is always that last large tap root or bundle of roots in the center underneath. I've never grown things over tiles but I've removed trees and I'm sure this method helps a lot with removal.
It certainly does, that’s an important point which you made. I’ve always used a tile and always from cuttings and always preparing the young tree before sticking it into the ground. Growing from cuttings is also much better than from seed.
Free masterclass....thanks for sharing...great video
Thanks so much! 🙇🏼♂️
Nice Terry,lots of work done,well done meneer.Herman
Thank you kindly Herman! Appreciate it.
Very cool Terry, I always learn a lot with your videos... You were crucial for my first trident maple development, and I'm loving to grow it on the ground, I only have space for one at the moment, but it definatelly worth the spot... You also helped me save that tree from a serious fungal issue. My maple is almost leafless here, didn't show much colors this year. I'm planning to lift the tree from the ground this year to work on it's base, but I'm insecure to cut the sacrifice branch now, could I wait a little more, like until mid winter?
Thank you so much, I am glad you have learnt something from some of my content. Field growing is truly awesome, well done. Actually it depends. If you want back budding then better to cut the sacrifice in late spring. If you don't need back budding then yes you can cut any time now till mid or late winter probably. Just bear in mind that if you do root work that the tree will take roughly 2 years to get back to the current energy level.
Wow - this tanuki has really progressed since its first creation! That protruding live vein is melding quite nicely and convincingly to the stump now. Amazing how foliage pad creation can bring the whole composition to life! I love the term 'Phoenix Graft' - really captures the idea of bringing new life to worthy old specimens and letting them live on in a different capacity. Much appreciate your wiring tutorial. Will be super helpful when I approach the Canadian autumn season - haven't had much opportunity to practice with my young material yet.
Thank you Sue. Yes, I am so happy with the progress myself, it has after all only been 3 years since I combined the elements. I’m not actually sure where the term Phoenix graft comes from but I agree it is very apt. Good luck with the wiring when you get there. Becoming adept with wiring opens up many creative opportunities with your trees.
Ini sangat menakjubkan❤
Thanks so much! I appreciate the compliment
Hello Terry is it possible to see a follow up video on this trident Maple as I would like to do it myself but I am afraid that it will harm my Maple as the cement has got lime in it. If not this tree another tree you have used cement please. 👍
Thanks Valerie. When I studied in Japan this is the exact method we used. However, I intend doing a follow up shortly. Needed to wait for it to drop its leaves, but until then I can reassure you that the tree is growing very well.
Thank you I will go ahead and try it, but I don't want to lose my tree 👍
@ValerieNew-v5c you won’t, at least not due to using cement anyways.
Thank you so much for sharing this helpful video. I’ve learnt a lot for your channel. Please keep uploading more🙏🏻👍✨🔆
Awesome! I am so glad. Will keep uploading as long as I can and as long as people view the content. 😊
Absolutely amazing. I’m inspired and in awe. Thank you
Thanks so much Brian! Very kind of you. 🙇🏼♂️
so wonderful, my friend
Thanks so much! Appreciate it. 🙏🏻
