CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH....I hear it coming soon Nigel! Fabulous trops....I missed your Jades and Ports.....

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Snow might be coming soon!! These trees are either still in the greenhouse or they are in the basement!!

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Cup of hot tea in hand and watching the update.

[@carlossoares712]

Thanks Nigel! The small seedlings you could not name are jacaranda mimosifolia :)

[@TheBonsaiZone]

That's it, thanks Carlos!!!

[@bonsai_life_style]

That's improvement Nigel no more crawling in plant room 😀😀😀

[@chrismarshall8321]

All looking really good nigel 👌

[@bonsai_life_style]

😄😄😄😄 I know that feeling Nigel , we are getting old. I have the tree for 10 years and then I stop and I cant remember the name of it . Happen to all of us . 😆And BTW name of that small leaf Ficus you dont know is Panda.

[@Tybold63]

Am amazed how many you got room for and it is looking less crowdy than I thought. Guess you had better time to plan the placement this year. Lovely place and lovely trees!

[@Ficusforev]

Hey Nigel I absolutely love all the ficus you have!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Some of them are making good progress, I'm excited to keep developing them!! Thanks!!

[@DeciduousSnurb]

Hello Nigel, at 4:12 you talk about those two ficus cuttings. I believe that variety is typically grafted onto "ginseng" ficus. Wigert's Bonsai have some specimens with foliage like that and they call it Ficus microcarpa 'Green Gem.' I sometimes see it elsewhere called Ficus microcarpa nitida 'Green Gem.' I think Jelle has a decent size one with that foliage as well. But I guess there's no way to be totally sure.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks for that!! Good to know!!!

[@michaelcowart6100]

Looks better than the year you had to crawl on the floor underneath something to reach some trees😂

[@iBEEMproject]

That little isle is all you needed for the forest bonsai good job nigel

[@angieb6899]

They look amazing Nigel 👩🏻‍🌾🪴

[@jeremybargain]

Nice room Nigel 👌 .

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks 👍

[@viktorsbonsai]

4:27 I think it’s some kind of sup species of microcarpa, the only larger examples I’ve seen of them are only as a foliage grafted on “ginseng” ficus. It’ll be nice to see them without the ginseng rootstock.

[@ilexjin]

If you wanted to, you could use Bayer tree & shrub granules on the soil surface to take care of your insect pests.

[@Bahçe_Balık]

Perfect

[@SultonBonsai]

Indonesia hadir om...nyimak update bonsainya..

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Terima kasih banyak!!

[@BonsaiJCan]

Great tour Nigel, thanks ! Nice to see the Sabre Tooth ficus and looking forward to work on it.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks J, yes I was looking at it today, trying to decide where to take it into the future!!

[@bonsaimonsai]

great tour! :) first unknown ficus: microcarpa long island. but i think green island is also correct. green mound has shorter rounder leaves. also called panda. the 2 small cuttings: microcarpa compacta. it's the species they use for grafting onto the ginseng style roots.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Good to know, thanks so much I'll add a Panda to remind me!!!

[@richardroberts910]

I love the yellow hibiscus! I'll have to order one! I have several including one that has pink flowers that look like they never open. I believe it's called a turk's turban. They might be native to Florida.

[@n8tyler]

Great tour...Always enjoy seeing the trees and their progress...Fancy is really looking great...Thanks for sharing...

[@guymonette9284]

Thanks for the tour! Ficus microcarpa var. crassifolia ! (Green mound) I'm interested to see what you will turn it into in the future. Jerome from bonsaisupplies made a beautiful 'root over statue' with his.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Cool, thanks

[@stevetippin]

Damn! Did you get a new camera? Great tour. Not sure if you are looking for ideas but I'd LOVE to see a tour of Hong's trees!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I've had this camera for about a year now and I'll try and make it over to Hong's trees next summer!!!

[@thomasvolker2254]

[@dkstott29]

Foist 🎉🎉

[@BenshobbyStuff]

whats your feeding regime in the grow room mate? cheers

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I add a pinch of 20-20-20 Miracle Grow to my rain water and water and fertilize very weakly, every time I water the trees!

[@BenshobbyStuff]

@@TheBonsaiZone awesome thanks mate i can now do the same for my indoor trees :)

[@jordanloepker6716]

How are the desert roses doing?

[@TheBonsaiZone]

The Desert Rose seem to be doing well, I let then gradually cool down outside as fall progressed and then put them in the cool basement for the winter. They seem fine....so far!!!

[@jordanloepker6716]

I just brought mine inside. You and I are on the same path to trying to keep them alive so I'm always watching haha. Thanks for sharing!

[@WoodcrestBonsai]

Standing room only!

[@VictorAntonioRodriguesCanotilh]

Where's acassia Forest?

[@TheBonsaiZone]

It's in the basement with the temperate trees!!

[@jameswalker3416]

I don't think those ficus are melon seed. The leaves are too big.
