Mondays at Mirai: Year of the Junipers

In this episode of Mondays at Mirai, Ryan launches off another week at Mirai with playful elation, pruning a landscape tree and moving massive junipers into the workshop for a miraculous deadwood repair.

Junipers fill the workshop for some regular maintenance, spread out on turntables dotting the room. Ryan shares the species of focus for this year, junipers and deciduous, noting that they will be receiving the most attention in terms of large scopes of work. Up in the new garden zone currently being built out, Troy and Kauffman tease each other for their working styles. In a surprise reveal, Ryan and cameraman Josh receive permission to release some of the unseen footage of Troy's monologue from the previous Monday at Mirai where we were asked to improvise without Ryan available. Troy, being the longest employed at Mirai has a flare for entertainment the entire team adores.

Returning to the workshop for some repairs, Ryan carefully reassembles the broken deadwood from a juniper that had fallen off a garden bench. With intentional use of simple tools, he is able to seamlessly disguise what once was broken.

Thanks for the Monday’s at Mirai videos. I find them very uplifting

[StephenTurnerVlogs]

It's always energising to see other people be energised and happy in what they're doing. They're in the zone. I also love the Étude in A flat by Horowitz. It just brought me even more along with your energy.

Nice to see an indirect progress shot of the Hinoki Cypress featured in Nursery Stock series part 2!

Mondays at Mirai, beautiful bonsai...

The 'rhino horn' cryptomeria is looking great. That tree, and the weeping blue-rug, have completely changed the way I look at nursery trees. Cheers

As I said b4, jealous of the T-Roy! Everyone needs a T-Roy! Haha. Loved it as always! Had an amazing stream last night with the pigmy cypress stone planting. Was probably one of my favs. Love you guys and gals in the Mirai team! Hope to meet yall one day.

For the broken apex I suppose you could use a nonexpanding adhesive like superglue+zipkicker and then drive a single long lag screw down. Although driving a single screw down might split it. You might be able to get away with connecting the two pieces using a small piece of threaded rod used to hold the two pieces right at the break itself

11:40 bro I thought that was a real forest for a second. Great work

Troy, the Shakespearian Theatre is calling.

hey, a great way you can shave down those screws is by attaching the screw directly into the chuck of your screwdriver, and spinning the screw against your bench grinder. that will give you a faster, rounder and smoother grind! As a trade here, can you tell me if/what you use to fill the screw hole afterwards? Thanks!

Oh T-Roy you may have missed your calling xx

Hi I’ve never commented on your videos before but if the tree want to shed the dead wood I think just let her shed it’s all part of the life of a tree. Here in Australia our gum trees will hold onto dead wood for quite a few years before they shed it. I think if the pore thing don’t want it anymore let it shed. It must be so itchy like a scab that needs to be scratched. Here is a big question for you can plants see, if all they do is look hehehehehe I’ll leaf it there hope you have a great year and looking forward to more bsop vids they were unbeleafable 🙂🥃👍🏼🤘👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[Donpapibonsai]

Great video thank you
What video do you work on all them bonsai you bought ?

[sidh]

The tree tagged "Bonsai" hahahahah. As an orchid guy I also have the same problem with grocery store orchids. Its an "orchid" but I want to know what type of phalaenopsis it is down to its hybrid name.
