Great Scot! My BIGGEST Bonsai Yet

From start to finish, follow the 2 year process of pruning, pinching, wiring and styling this natural looking Scots Pine, taking inspiration from a breathtaking trip to Scotland to see how these trees grow in their natural habitat.
I’m truly grateful for the response to the videos I’ve uploaded so far, and I’m working as fast as I can to keep producing them. Thank you for the patience and support. I am of course limited by nature and the seasons (and a bit of perfectionism too) but rest assured there are plenty more on the way. If you'd like to help out please consider supporting my Patreon:

It has been 1 year since his last video, but bonsai is an art that requires patience, so I will keep waiting for THE MOST relaxing and satisfying videos on youtube

wrote this on Bonsai Heirloom, but I wanted to share it here as well: I'm 23 years old, started bonsai when I was 20. Had a few trees back then, including 2 pine trees grown from seed, went trough a breakup, drug and alcohol abuse, and the trees stayed at one of my parents´ properties neglegted for 2 years. Became clean, went back and found the trees under a set of stairs, thriving, still alive. They must have gotten just enough sunlight through the set of stairs, and rainwater dripping down, to survive. I'm clean today, and now I have 22 trees in development. To me, bonsai was, and has become an escape from those dark times, and I cherish them in the beauty it has become. It has given me hope, and it gives me strenght. Seeing those trees from back then, when I went trough those times, neglecting myself, thriving today as I am, really is emotional. That Is why I love Bonsai.

[@Akatsuki-En]

Amazing story glad you found the strength to persevere through those dark times would love to see those 2 pines and the others in your collection

[@marvinharms1891]

Oh man I'm so glad you in your 20s! I wish I was there. I tell you. Bonsai, and just gardening on the whole, is just so rewarding. Keep it up man👌

[@hracekk]

Please make some videos about your collection! I would love to see more about the story. Glad you are doing good

[@melchiordelaunay2539]

Beautiful story !

[@thedepthsofboredom2562]

very similar story man. i went to jail though. bonsai has been nothing but a respite for me.

[@hunnibunni6201]

This man is not a KZbinr. He is a filmmaker!!! An award-worth producer

[@maximumkane96]

Dude, the cinematography in the video is insane

[@wizewizard1840]

Cant wait to see an update on this one once the wires are gone again! These are by far the best Bonsai videos on all of the internet. Absolutely perfect execution of making a Bonsai video.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

This is a brilliant video, thanks for taking us to the land of Scots Pines! Great work both behind and in front of the camera!!!

[@ChaNayNayAnime]

oh Mr.Nigel! i'm happy to see you here. your videos are so calming.

[@BonsaiReleaf]

Thanks Nigel. If you ever get the chance to visit Scotland I can't recommend it enough!

[@mireillekoncz]

Ok… WOW! This is my first ever youtube-comment, but I just have to. Although German is my mothertongue, I feel like telling you how gorgeous, genious and well made your piece of Art is - the tree, as well as the Video. This is so special, as are you and what you‘ve created. Thank you so much for sharing, made my day today! 🤟

[@rfwhyte]

Yeah, like have literally zero interest in Bonsai outside of this dude's videos but I will literally stop what I am doing to watch them the second they come out. Great content is great content regardless the subject matter it would seem!

[@brianbatts5073]

Whoa!!! I had to check that I was on a KZbin video and not on a high production, Discovery channel documentary. lol. Thank you for this. Wow.

[@scegbert]

The production quality of this channel is astounding! I appreciate your quality over quantity ethic. Your videos are worth the wait

[@BonsaiReleaf]

Thank you!

Twisted pine it’s feet in knots, seeking purchase amongst the rocks. Twist and bend to appease the winds that blow from the seas. It’s gnarled soul a sorrowful sight. Time immortal in the the coastal light. -Nick D

Loved the Nessie in the lake! I thought it was really cool to find the little natural "bonsai" pine among the rocks! Excited to see how they grow and change, do you have updates from any of the previous video's trees?

[@BonsaiReleaf]

That was a nice surprise, and not something I'd planned to film! I've posted some updates on my Patreon, but there are also follow up videos coming of most of the trees featured in previous videos

[@jamesadowney]

This is so epic. I feel like I didn't think your production quality could elevate (already so good), but this is an entirely new level. Your videos come out so slowly (for good reason), but are something to savor. Thanks for making this.

We have to wait long time to see one a new video, but seriusly, they are really special. I recommend your channel to everyone who want to start in bonsai as an example of what to see to raise the motivation to the Apex. Thanks a lot for this kind of video. Have a happy holidays and happy new year.

[@BonsaiReleaf]

Your use of the word apex here didn't go unnoticed. Thank you, you too!

[@AndrewPonti]

Scotland is one of my favorite places in the world...like Middle Earth or a mystical land from Arthurian legend, it always captured my mind. Bonsai seems to really work with this Scottish tree. I loved every part of this video - the quality and love put into it. The sheer respect for nature and the tree was also evident.

[@Lester_Houston]

I just finished binging all of your other videos the other day, and now we have a new one! I just built the Lego bonsai last night as a result. Also I would love to see a tree with leaves sometime in the future 😎.

[@daviperci9116]

Be patient about the future releases. Quality needs time.

[@Lester_Houston]

@@daviperci9116 exactly, I am very patient, I know that these types of videos take time, and he could always take as long as he wants to make a video and I’d probably still watch them all.

[@BonsaiReleaf]

Tree with leaves video hopefully coming in 2024!

[@DeanKellyBonsai]

Great video. Interesting design. I like how you put time and effort in to these videos, rather than plopping a tree on a bench and then working on it before it’s actually ready. I’ve learned THIS is what bonsai is about. It’s not about what can be achieved in a day, but over many years. Keep up the good work.

[@KyleB_RCR8]

Beautiful visual poetry. Stunning work on the transformation! Great production, learned a bunch!!

[@ShadowDoc]

I'm just blown away at the level of production you have in your videos. Everything flows perfectly along with the styling of the tree. Phenomenal work sir, the wait was long but did not disappoint. Looking forward for what is to come.
