Sawadeecrap," it means hi in tai".
The other day I was looking at beautiful juniper bonsai and my attention was catched by their barch, nice light brown, copper color.
When I look at my juniper prebonsai or nursery stock barch has a completely different look, it is dark brown with bumps all over. I did some reserch, I learned about juniper vascular system, how live veins look like, etc and I found out that, the nice "copper color" is behind the barch, a first barch layer should be removed to expose it.
Therefore one simple question: when is time to perform this task, it could be done anytime or the bonsai should be old enough? In this case, just to have a general reference, how old it must be?
Dont get me wrong please, I am a seedling, a complete beginner therefore I am still learning basic stuff, this question about more advance thecniques is just curiosity, knowledge that will be implemented on the future, now I am still building my house basement.
Thanks so much for your help!
