A walk around the benches

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Hello Sam, I think it's just too much sun on the Serissa, they like morning and evening sun, the mid day sun is a bit too much for them. Once you get a really good developed root system, they can handle more light.

[@CoolandNormalLookAway]

I love that nigel knows about this channel. Made my day.

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Thanks Nigel. Love your serissa. I'll try that and see if it can get healthy this summer. Yours always looks soo good. 🥰

[@robintodd3901]

[@tinjoesstation]

Looking good Sam! Super happy to have this video today. Trees are looking good. Do you, we all love it!!

[@browpetj]

These vids at the end of winter are really cool! Your scheduling for these things is pretty bang on every year mate! Great to look forward to this stuff every yr! 👍🏻👌🏻👍🏻

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

That is still a lot of trees you have there! I'm still jealous of those olives LOL! I really like the Melaleuca and the Mela style you have going. Nice to see some of the trees still there.😊 Big Hugs

[@tinjoesstation]

Those pots you have Seth and your olives in are awesome!! I can see him telling you not to chop stuff so hard.

[@lil_treez_au]

Awesome! So far I'm still very keen on your soil mix. Love your innovations.

[@jeffcharnstrom4004]

Love the tour, keep weeding.

[@lisawagner6076]

Just found your channel and I am amazed at all your yamadori trees! I can't wait to see them when they are all in full show. Plus many trees I have never heard of up here in North America. Thanks!!

[@rebeccahunter725]

A catch up with old friends!! I was wondering about the boxthorn the other day when I pruned my Chinese quince - those are enough thorns for me . . . Good to see the Red gums again, too.

[@johnrb9397]

Thanks for taking the time Sam to show us around. Stunning collection which shows off your skill and experience!!

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Cheers Sam - I've been waiting for this bench tour for some time now. looking forward to seeing more great stuff from you :)

[@andrecosterus]

Thanks for the video Sam!

[@tj37475]

Great video Sam, it's always good to see other peoples collections and even their weeds, we all have them lets face it. You really do have some magnificent trees there, thanks for showing us around and beyond the shed. Cheers TJ

[@simonbergagna]

I love a good tour of the bonsai benches, great show👍

[@fryscritters6557]

Great collection mate

[@The_Dood]

Nice shots at the end. You have a slice of paradise.

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Love it here

[@hassimgora]

Most impressive. Love the variety.

[@kliether33]

That big twisted malleluca is incredible! The Luke Parsons pot fits perfectly.

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Cheers mate. Probably my favourite tree on the benches 😃

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

A vast array of trees in your collection. A nice tour of your collection.

[@tinjoesstation]

Damnnnn! Wish I could get some olives that massive.

[@Kostas_Design_Studio]

Your large olive at the end of the video is easily the best I've ever seen. You should enter it into every show possible Sam. An award winner for sure!

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Thanks mate. Yeh she is a big beaut but heavy as 😃

[@nwilliams1540]

Hi Sam, everything is looking great. Thanks.

[@nerinat8371]

Thanks for the tour Sam, great collection natives. Im going to my 1st native bonsai exhibition this weekend in Parkville Melbourne and can't wait. You have inspired me 😊 love your dogs 🐕

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Wow have fun. I really wanted to go and almost did. I am part of their club online. Soo many talented people in one club 💙

[@lorenzoveronese6608]

That's a tremendous collection, there must be years and years of work to get there. I hope you will go over this hard times and find your motivation🌱

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Thankyou

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

It is nice that your daughters tree survived the frost. Fall just around the corner for us.

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Enjoy the rest Tom

[@johnrb9397]

That ash should bust out soon mate. My collected has just started in the last couple of days.

[@thelazybonsai]

Sooper Noice!

[@claybleasdale8971]

Keep them up mate been loving the vids

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Cheers mate

[@thebeersandthebees]

Awesome stuff.

[@hagakuretv]

Hi Sam, I was wondering how cold it is in winter where you live? Could you give an example what is considered cold or normal in winter for you? Thanks and cool trees

[@jg00000]

Giant quarry olives looking good. Did all the trunks survive in the end?

[@geoffthecarpenter]

Don't try cutting down your Radiata Pine as hard as your Japanese black Pine ,ive tried it 3 times on really healthy potted Pines i had for a few years and they all died, some conifers are very sensitive to sap flow. Allepo Pines seem to be alot tougher I've had good luck butchering them, thanks for the Video, Geoff from Adelaide.

[@kiwibonsai2062]

YOU HAVE THE BEST OLIVES ON KZbin SAMMY , GOOD ON YOU !

[@kiwibonsai2062]

YOU ALSO HAVE SOME AMAZING WEEDS

[@Rstytrsrs4325]

Thanks for the tour Sam. How long do you leave your olives in the big pot after digging them before you would think about putting into a smaller bonsai pot? I have a few nice ones that I think have been about 18 months, all growing strongly but don’t want to move them too early.

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

A good year in the pot

[@dannyellis971]

Nioce one bloke!

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Cheers bloke

[@ToddBrittain1963]

Bloke, that's a coast redwood, not a giant sequoia.

[@johnmichaelrutherford3514]

Well, then he's in for a bit of a fun ride because costal redwoods are much more apically dominant than giant sequioa are.

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Cheers mate 😃😃

[@thevaluehorse]

you need more conifers!

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

There are enough in the bonsai world and owned by people way more talented. I can't get my head around them 😫

[@thevaluehorse]

@@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke I'm just kidding, really. your natives/ deciduous are outstanding! I'm grateful for all the content you have made over the years

[@jyothilavigne2263]

Your red pine is gorgeous, Your olives are amazing. I bought one for $80.00 and it’s pathetic! But the poor thing is stuck indoors for six months so I should be grateful that it still has leaves. Your benches still look great and the prunous still looks wonderful. Take care Sam, you are always in my thoughts.
