@jacktaylor6190 24 күн бұрын
@@BlueSkyBonsai I have 3 trees I would call deciduous a Florida Red Maple, Chinese Elm and a Winged Elm. We do get some cooler temperatures at times even some really cold temperatures. For the few times it gets really cold the blankets come out and all my trees get covered. The only tree that changes color for me and looses all of its leaves it the Winged Elm. Florida Maple does not have fall colors and might even not drop all the leaves. I do know a few people who have Japanese Maples that most falls will get fall colors but not always. Some of the other deciduous species don't like our heat and humidity here in south Florida, northern Florida does get the 4 seasons and can have those trees.

Congrats Dave! Vivo en Pozuelo, así que somos prácticamente ‘vecinos’. Soy amateur, pero tengo unos 40 arbolitos entre bonsáis y proyectos de bonsái. He consultado muchos libros, muchos videos, he comprado los cursos de bonsaiempire… pero tus videos siempre me han parecido las más didácticos, sencillos y útiles para mi nivel. Enhorabuena! BTW te he añadido a LinkedIn, si crees que puedo ayudarte en algo con tu proyecto, o tu web, estaré encantado de echarte una mano en lo que pueda, o simplemente charlar e intercambiar experiencias. Gracias por todo!!! ❤

Mi padre tiene un chalet en la sierra y siempre hemos tenido huerto, y me ha gustado la jardinería. Como soy muy curioso y me gustaría tener árboles de todos los estilos, no es viable salvo que sean tipo bonsái. Así que comencé hace como 10 años, como todo el mundo yo creo que inicialmente se morían casi todos, vas intentando aprender cómo evitar que pase, y te vas enganchando. Es muy gratificante ver como algunos arbolitos van creciendo, los has dado forma a tu gusto, y es algo realmente tuyo!!! Ahora cuando se me muere por algún accidente algún bonsái que he cuidado durante varios años es un drama por ya que les coges cariño y has invertido mucho tiempo. Descubres el verdadero significado de la palabra Paciencia, y el por qué es la habilidad clave para el cuidado del bonsái. Cuando se me ha muerto alguno ahora, es por querer acelerar el proceso, o por hacer algo rápido sin dedicarle el tiempo necesario. Ej. se me acaba de morir mi juniper chinensis preferido por exceso de fertilizante, al no tener en cuenta la época adecuada y no ser más paciente…🤦🏻♂️ BTW. Ayer recibí el libro, ya voy por la mitad y me está encantando. Sinceramente, el mejor libro de aprendizaje que hay en el mercado. Y eso que tengo una colección amplia. Enhorabuena de nuevo!!!! Solo lamento no haber comprado la versión tapa dura en lugar de la blanda, porque es un libro que consultaré de forma frecuente!!!

@@jhr Gracias por contarme tu historia de los bonsáis! Síí es triste cuando muere un bonsái, especialmente uno que llevas mucho tiempo cuidando y cultivando. Todos los años pierdo uno o más arboles, salvo este año es el primero en la historia que no me ha muerto ninguno .. solo quedan 8 semanas y me habrá liberado este año! Me alegra que te está gustando el libro. He recibido varias solicitudes para una versión en español, pero sinceramente no sé si lo voy a traducir.. sería mucho trabajo re-escribir todo, y creo que las ventas no compensarían el tiempo gastado. De todas maneras, si quieres comprar la versión de tapa dura para guardar en tu colección, te lo puedo ofrecer a precio de mercado firmado por el autor 😊... bueno no te preocupes si no, ya es un placer para mi enterarme cuando entusiastas del bonsái ya han comprado mi libro y lo están gustando.

I’m guessing the tree will recover overtime if you trim the roots and the branches at the same time? Probably just slowed it down for a season or two?
@BlueSkyBonsai Ай бұрын
@@Deshojo78 if a tree is in good health and very vigorous then potentally yes, it could just slow down the growth for that year. But if it's in poor health or not growing vigorously, then removing so much energy from roots and branches could kill the tree. Also I still wouldn't prune roots and branches of deciduous trees because they have a shorter growing season.

I also love bonsai and trees in general. It might help you to consider that animals suffer pain because of nerve impulses to the brain. Not a single plant on the planet has a brain or nerves, so they don't have pain. They evolved to rebuild and regrow when part of them is removed, by nature or by an animal.

Thank you for this intelligent and thoughtful look at tropical bonsai. I fuss so much with my Fukien Teas that I almost want to give up on them, but I will try a plastic bag for humidity purposes. This year I began experimenting with daily misting. And yes, good catch!
@BlueSkyBonsai Ай бұрын
@@jameslangschied7900 thanks James - I really appreciate that. One thing to watch out for with Fukien tea is that they seem to attract scale insects, just like the sageretia do. The specific issue with the Fukien tree is that under a plastic bag you might not see the scale until it has really infested the who plant and it starts losing leaves all over. It might be worthwhile to spray a mild plant-friendly insecticide inside the bag every week or so, to get rid of any juvenile scale insects before they mature...
