Thank you so much :-)

Hello I keep the seedlings just moist if they are growing well. I live in quite a mild climate here in Cornwall UK. Thanks for watching :-)

@ thanks for answering so quickly. Our local car park has dozens of these beautiful trees, in the summer they look magnificent. I’m just hoping I’m able to keep these two going.

@@patriciagraham2434 I think your will grow much better in Spain than here in the uk. they seen to like more sunshine and hotter temps than we get here. I plan to plant them at together in 1 pot this year and see how they grow as a grove. I love the fact that the leaves close up at night or in overcast conditions. Wishing you all the best for growing yours :-)

Hi one third grit one third compost and one third perlite.

@julesreiki Great, thanks! (Got to try your cotton wool in a jiffy bag technique first though....)

@ Great :-) Good luck with your germination. Larches will germinate in the fridge ( moist chilling) Once several have germinated I move them somewhere warmer for the rest to catch up.

@gaiabonsai Do you scarify first or soak them before chilling in the fridge?

@aesotope1592 Hi I soak them first in a little warm water for about 12 hours. Then place them on the moist cotton wool in the fridge.

Thank you :-) The redwoods do like lots of water and this one I fed every two weeks with liquid feed. I give all the trees a feed of growmore solid feed on the soil surface in early may. They do prefer light shade as the leaflets will scorch in full sun and windy conditions. The full size seed tray is definitely worth trying as the roots spread out radially and pull the girth out quite fast. Will try a couple of the other large ones in washing up bowls this year. They have been the fatest growing of all the trees I have grown so far. Wishing you great luck with yours and your comments are always greatly appreciated. 💚

​@@gaiabonsailike that idea of the seed tray spreading the roots radially rather than downward as they would in a deep pot. Amazing work you do on your trees. Thanks for making videos have a great day sir!

Thank you for your kind comment it is much appreciated. For the two chinese elms after working on them they are on a bright winow sill in the kitchin. I can then enjoy them for a couple of months until they go back outside. Where I live in Cornwall UK, we do have quite a long growing season and very few frosts or snow. I will do an update to show them in leaf in 2-3 weeks. :-)

@ thank you for answering. Best of luck. I will give a shot and re pot few and do the same. Back to catching up on your videos :)

@ Good luck with everything. A misting twice a day will keep your trees very happy. Take care.

Thank you for your kind comments :-) Will do an update when it is in leaf. Thank you for watching.

Yes always early to leaf out this tree.

Thank you Andy :-)

Thank you so much :-) This is from a cutting about 5 years old now. Will try to grow some more branches so I can remove the thicker ones higher up. They do back bud very well. Thanks for watching and commenting. :-)

Thank you Jonas :-) Great to read I am not the only one who has early leafing Tridents. He is quite happy on a bright window sill. Trust all is good with you. 💚

Thank you Andy. Hope all is going well :-)

Thank you :-) hopefully will get a better shape this year. Thanks for watching :-)

Thank you Alex. Yes a strong growing tree, just got to get some better shape to it. Trust all is going well, take care :-)

​@@gaiabonsai they seem to do well here don't they? I was pleased with my trident's growth last year. Some were potted into larger containers so I'm hoping to see more growth this year now that they are a bit more established. All is well here thank you Jules 👍

Thank you so much for your kind comment Dave. Take care :-)

Thank you Alex :-) Happy New Year to you all as well. Yes looking forward to bulking these up. Take care.

Thanks Scott all good here thank you. Trust all is going well for you. Wishing you a very happy new year and lots of adventures ahead. :-)

No this is the first time I have been able to get them to germinate. So I am excited to see how this one grows. Thank you.

Thank you so much. I am very pleased to hear you have got some Black pine seedlings now. I like the fridge method as you can keep a close eye on the germinating seeds, and not lose them to pests before they have had a chance to grow. Wishing you great success with growing them on :-)

Thank you :-) its a ovata. I have the normal leaf size and some smaller leaved ones.

Thanks Alex. Wishing you and family a very Happy Christmas and a happy new year. Take care.

Thanks Andy 🙂

Thank you Alex :-) All good here thank you. Trust all your trees got through the storm ok. Take care.

Thanks Andy :-) Trust all your trees are safe after the Storms. Take care. 💚

@ yeah all good mate 👊👊

Thank you :-)

Hi I made a hole in the compost with the yellow dibber, picked the seed up carefully with tweezers. Try to avoid toucjhing the root. Then placed in the hole so the seed casing is level with the soil. Then watering in. Hope that helps.

Thank you :-) Will pick some out some for bonsai training next Spring.

Thank you Alex :-) All good here thank you. We have a late end to the season in Cornwall. Hope all is going great for you. Take care.

Wow beautiful colours sir! I'm curious what seeds you're going to be sowing this year😅

@@luigiluigi2098 Thank you :-) Will find some more unusual tree seeds over this winter.

He he............. this is the first proper pots I have brought so far.

Thank you Andy, should keep me busy for next Spring, hope all is going good for you.

Thanks Scott, will be looking forward to repotting season :-)

Thanks Alex. Yes all good here :-) hope all is going great for you.

Thank you I am pleased you find the content helpful :-)

Thank you Scott :-) Keeping me out of mischief.

@@gaiabonsai 😂😂😂

Thanks so much Alex it's greatly appreciated. Trust all your trees are growing well. Are you doing an update with Xavier this year ? 💚

Thank you Jonas :-) The trees have been loving all the rain. Hope all is good and your trees are growing well. 💚

Thank you Dan. Think the logo looks better. Hard to get something that looks good in such a small size. The trees have been loving the rain. Hope all is good and your trees are growing well. 💚

Thank you so much for your comments :-)

Thank you Andy :-) hope all your trees are growing well. 💪💪

Thank you for watching and your kind comments :-)

Thanks for watching and commeting. Yes I feel it is important to let trees grow well to put lots of energy back. And trunks and branching will soon be thickening. :-)

Thank you Alex. Hope all your trees are growing well. :-)

Thanks Gavin keeps me busy watering :-)

Thank you for your kind words Jonathan. It is great to have bonsai and growing trees as a creative outlet. It keeps me focused in the moment and grateful for what I have. I hope all your trees are growing well. Bit quiet for bonsai videos as everyone is busy watering and pruning. Keep doing what you love. 💚

Thanks Jonas :-) They are still growing well so far. Not had any luck finding deep pots for small seedlings here in the uk. Will send you a Facebook message as cant see how to send messages by KZbin. 💚
