Setting a tree’s structure enables a practitioner to establish the tree’s future, and offers a pivotal moment to permanently alter its bones and increase its quality. In tonight’s stream, we’re working with a very special piece of field-grown Japanese black pine to not only create a great bonsai, but execute the strategy and techniques necessary to set the structure for any field-grown tree. Learn the nuances to branch selection, needle plucking, strength distribution, big bending, and the nuances of styling a first iteration to maximize the quality of your field-grown stock on its journey to becoming bonsai.
