An essential Guide to Dawn Redwood Bonsai

I found dealing with Dawn Redwood bonsai really tough so I have made this episode for anyone unfamiliar with pruning this ancient tree. I hope that I provide a clear guide for recognising when it is the right time to prune and more importantly ‘how’ to prune. This is crucial knowledge if you have never pruned this tree before. As with previous pruning videos, I talk you through all my decision-making processes.

I have to give a big shout out to Ryan Neil@BonsaiMirai who produced one of the best instructional videos on this subject.

Thank you! God Bless & Happy Bonsaiing
