The pot and the tree seem to compliment each other. Fascinating little tree and the added bonus of flowers.

[@twodogsyyc6729]

Bloody hell that's a ton of flower on that tree. Absolutely would give my left nut for one like that Sam. Great vid thanks for the share my friend, take care!!!

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Cheers mate. Was soo surprised after the tough time it had. Cheers 😀

[@jyothilavigne2263]

Well, that is indeed a beautiful tree! The flowers were stunning and I hoped you learned a lesson on not to neglect your insanely gorgeous tree! Glad to see you back. I was kind of worried about you as you stated quite vehemently on doing 30 bonsais in 30 days. Your slacking off probably meant work on other stuff on your property. You don’t have a lazy bone in your body! Cheers!

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Ha ha cheers mate. Lesson learned 🤣🤣

[@mattygroves]

You and that bottlebrush are lookin trim

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Cheers mate

[@MrGtrjason]

Wow. I havnt been.able to get that amount of flowers on mine.Have you had that amount most years. Great lookn tree.

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

This was the best year for sure. Maybe 3 years ago it also had a great flowering 😀😀🍻

[@notaclu6911]

One meal a day? geez no wonder you feel like you have been slack. No energy from a diet like that! Anyway why on earth are you on a diet in the first place?? haha Sorry ignore me I'm a 70 yr old mum of two grown sons and I tend to quiz them too.😜 Your Bottlebrush Bonsai is stunning, so many flowers! You babied it well. Captain Cook are tough little Aussies, planted heaps of them back in my 20's. Wish I had bonsaied one or two then!! Love your videos and all the newsy bits about your property, wind breaks etc. Thanks for all the info!

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Ha ha yeh when I loose the winter belly it's a handy little tool. 😉 I know how you feel. At my old house I planted 100 stock trees and shrubs in the ground for bonsai and most would be ready to dig😭 New owner has left them in so I guess he loves the Forrest that is now 25 ft tall 🤣 Too scared to knock and ask if he wants to get rid of any 😄

[@putnamehereholdmadoodle]

I dug up 2 in June this year one has started to re shoot the other has started to grow small white roots. Tomorrow I'm going to go dig a few more up. Wish me luck

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Good luck with the dig mate. 😀

[@paulcropper4568]

good to see you back mate, nice one

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Thanks mate 😀

[@farmert9679]

The OMAD diet is the best. My friend lost 60 pounds in 6 months. My friend is still on it and does not miss eating the junk foods.

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Sure is mate. I think I'll make it more of a lifestyle now. At least on weekdays 😀😀🍻

[@briankavanagh7191]

See the diet and working out has produced results, just think of that first "TUN" after all the hard work.

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Ha ha it was great 🍻

[@farmert9679]

An interesting trunk I must say.

[@MrGtrjason]

Other thing i was going to ask. Worm juice Question.i have just been buying some local off few people. Cheap as. Does what the people throw in to feed the worms etc... make big difference in how good juice performs.

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Hi mate I guess yes to a point. Probably more important is the fish emulsion. Power feed is also a great product. I think mixing between different types of fert gives the tree a great balance 😃

[@dannyellis971]

Nioce one bloke!

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Cheers bloke

[@WMLM-FS-Boothy]

Hey mate lovely tree, love your videos don't comment too often. Would love to get in contact and have a chat.

[@lhough84]

I would hazard a guess that Olive hasn't taken because you have it in full sun, the tun tree appears to be in a more shaded area 🤔👍

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

No mate just natural selection. No need to shade them. Been working on them for years and know them well. The more sun normally the quicker they pop. Cheers Sam

[@fredgrech1498]

Looking good Sam what’s the diet you’re on

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Omad mate. One meal a day. Hard at first but the body adjusted and its great now😀

Can you do an update on that Murraya that you put in the broken pot? Last update was 2018

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

No mate I cannot It went to the gods. Was too aggressive with my repot. 100 percent my fault and my biggest loss in 11 years of bonsai 😭😭😭😭

[@paulcropper4568]

hows that red pine you did in 2018 doing mate

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Just did an update 🤣

[@sultanmahmud6267]

Nice work bro. Love it. I just want to know how long does it take to have flower in bottlebrush bonsai after starting training looking forward to your answer

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Hi mate. I can't really answer tge flower question. Their are a lot of varieties of bottle brush trees?? For me this one wants to flower in spring no matter what. Another I have, used to flower well until I dug it. It now grows well but no flowers 🤔🤔🤔

[@sultanmahmud6267]

@@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke That's helpful .Thanks. One more thing . Are these from seed or from stem cutting ?
