A Visit to Blue Jay Bonsai, The Bonsai Zone, July 2023

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Great idea with the desert roses. That huge one with the eyes and the mouth reminds me of Jabba the Hut. Cool!

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

So good to see you smiling and showing off those lovely trees. The highlight for me was your Star Wars T-shirt :)

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Thanks Xav! We are kindred spirits in many ways I guess. 🐦💙

[@stevetippin]

What is this vet tape you speak of? That was a really great tour! Man, so many great trees!! I also love how many times you said that so-and-so gave you this and that. It shows that there is a great community of people giving trees and advice. Very heart-warming.

Very interesting tour, a nice collection of trees

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thank you very much!

[@RyanFish825]

We sure are getting a lot of Bonsai Zone time this week! You've been busy living Nigel! Love all the trees Jay, great collection! Thanks for sharing!

[@RyanFish825]

I love to see fellow collectors, this hobby is something else! My wife is always saying I've got too many plants, I disagree....300 is a healthy collection 😂! You sure have a great selection of neat species Jay, thanks so much for showing us around!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Thanks Ryan! It’s an addiction for sure! 🐦💙

[@hyperionhelios190]

The trees are looking fantastic Jay! What a great developing collection

[@TheBonsaiZone]

He is developing an amazing collection of trees!!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

thanks Kale! 🐦💙

[@patsfreund9164]

My goodness.....Blue Jay sure does have a huge collection. I am in AWE. I like the fact that the majority of his trees are small bonsai. (Easier to move.) His use of root over rock design is interesting. Really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks to you and "Blue Jay".

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Thanks Pat! 🐦💙

[@StevesBackyardBonsai]

Good to see Jay and his collection. Such nice trees.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Thanks Steve!

Thanks Gaye! 🐦💙

[@gayefanner731]

Thanx for your reply, Jay, I sent a personal message to you on your channel t’other day. God bless you n yours Xg ✌️

[@davemiddleton4971]

Jays starting to get quite skilled at bonsai and seems to have some great trees on their way. Great stuff. The last larch is going to special.

[@bartstellink307]

Holy... That is a nice collection

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I think so too!

[@PumpkinBecki]

What a lovely tour 😍 So great to hear you sharing ideas and making plans xx

[@mikec3820]

blue jay thats a nice collection sir. i little 3% peroxide will get rid of all the hard water staining. i get it too this time of year

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Thanks Mike! I'll give it a try! 🐦💙

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Now you need some bonsai trees for your title channel Jay. Jay's like Ash Dogwood, Elderberry and Holly for food and shelter. For just food they like Birch, Crabapple, Oak, Pine, Sumac.

[@williambarratt1027]

Great to see 2 of my favorite tubers in one vid, especially good to see jay, glad to see you are doing well.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Thank you William! 🐦💙

[@LetsDoBonsai]

MIssed another one - Dang lol

[@thenaturecreater8906]

Oh wow been waiting for this video! Great collection Jay! Great to see you as usual! And sure James is not nigels son 😂😅

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Funny Christopher! 😂🐦💙

[@Tybold63]

Lovely tour and Jay is a great guy it seems, often so cheerful. I like this format to make a video of a tour where you get more undisturbed and calmly talk. At bonsai shows or larger settings I can get lost in the "crowd" and as a viewer you feel less "involved". That is just a friendly comment that this it what I prefer with just a few persons around.😊

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

[@DavesBonsai]

Great to see you too looking at trees together. I love the spooky Fukien!!!! Jay, your benches are very full!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Thanks Dave! Yes, I need more benches so I can space things out. 🐦💙

[@baldyeti]

Daggum, that was a good time! Great to see and hear Jay and his infectious, larger than life, jovial self. And wow, do your trees look great, brother! I’m super impressed with the Fukiens and larches.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Thanks Billy! 🐦💙

[@chaiwatpotichanid]

🥰🥰👍

[@thefirm9746]

Benches are looking good, Jay.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Thank you! 🐦💙

[@patrickfo967]

I think the juniper from the destruction site might be a juniperus sabina I have one with a very similar foliage but I might be wrong !

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Middle number has to be higher. They have a super bloom fertilizer for flowering that is 0-50-0 and flowers that do not flower, will flower.

[@tinjoesstation]

Alright Jay, holding out on the bougainvillea on me🤣😂

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Ha ha - if only i was retired and could spend all day - you'd see everything! 😂🐦💙

[@tinjoesstation]

@@BlueJayBonsai if I was retired and could talk the wife into it I’d move to Hawaii with my brother and do bonsai all day!!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

@@tinjoesstation Thanks for reminding me - i need to buy lottery tickets!

[@tinjoesstation]

@@BlueJayBonsai you’re welcome. If I win, I’ll move you and the fam with us!

[@tinjoesstation]

Where do you find the magic tape?

[@sbragaglia]

@BlueJayBonsai any luck with the pyracanthas?

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Nope sorry Stefano! All dead .. maybe I'll try again!🐦💙

[@MrFreddess]

I have one question. Why does he keep his trees in the shade? It seems clear on the other side were the sun is. I thought they should have as much sun as possible in the northern parts

[@BlueJayBonsai]

I'm not allowed to use the middle of the yard... where it is sunniest. Hope to move next year to a place with a big yard and I can get a dedicated section for bonsai and a new greenhouse!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

p.s. it was 7pm when filmed.. and this side gets morning and early afternoon sun.. but not evening sun.

[@myterracegardening]

Conor seems to be famous & generous 😂

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Connor is the best! 🐦💙

[@leszekrybak5067]

Being an obvious Star Wars fan, no wonder Jay has "Jabba the Hutt" Desert Rose...🤣

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Lol Leszek!!! Hope you are doing well!!!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

hilarious!
