[@GreenhornBonsai]

Great video! It was fun to see a preview of the tiger bark ficus workshop. And that Steller's Jay! We have them here at our place in Colorado and they are very friendly birds.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thank you Diana! Very cool! Any jay is a good jay! 🤣

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Looking good!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thanks Izabela!

[@greenmachinesweden]

Nice to have workshops locally. Here is nothing. That was a severe pruning. Loved the bonsai table and clump style citrus.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thanks Magnus! We are indeed blessed here with bonsai related access. 👍

[@Treegarden509]

great video again, love this time of year!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thank you J van der Meer! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍

[@GrowingBonsai]

Hey Jay, Another great video. Seems like you have a good crowd there. I could not help but laugh out loud when I just saw this video. On June 14th you'll understand why :)

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thank you Jelle! I think I can guess what your video will be about.. 🤣

[@GrowingBonsai]

@@BlueJayBonsai :) I am pretty sure you can! But it will be quite different!

[@TropicalBonsai]

Those are some nice trunks on the ficus pre bonsai.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thanks Alan! It’s hard to find ones that aren’t 2D S shapes. I have one reserved for me. 😃

[@gayefanner731]

Thanku Jay, very entertaining! I just love it when you make yourself laugh 😆 God bless you 🙏✝️ ✌️🇺🇦🌻✌️

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Ha ha, thanks Gaye! My wife loves that too.. it makes her laugh, then I laugh at her, and she laughs at me, and it’s an endless loop of laughter! 🐦💙

[@gayefanner731]

O praise the Lord ! Such joy, such love, a glimpse of heaven, Hallelujah!!!God bless you both and your boys 🙏✝️ ✌️🇺🇦🌻✌️

[@guywatson-bognorregisbonsa7370]

Nice job Jay. Hope that you get some nice fibrous roots in the pond basket. It's a trick that I really ought to use myself. I'll find a tree and give it a go. Cheers. 👍👍

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thanks Guy! Yes, would love to see you try on your channel! 🐦💙

[@karma_aspirant]

these ficus are indeed awesome, would take them all too :D

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thank you Mango Papaya! As you may have seen on Nigel's channel, as part of the Chinese Elm workshop, these trees have been set aside for the workshop!

[@karma_aspirant]

but unfortunately i don't live in canada :D

[@BlueJayBonsai]

@@karma_aspirant Yeah, Mango Papaya doesn’t sound like a Canadian name.. 😂🤣 Too tropical. 😀

[@karma_aspirant]

@@BlueJayBonsai hehe, a bit more tropical feeling here in northern europe would be nice :p

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Those roots that look like a pair of legs, to bad you could not find a rock to put between them. It would make a nice root over rock since the roots are curving down. Just a thought. Tree looking good after the pruning. Great viewers pics.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thank you Tom! 🐦💙

[@frankpagan1294]

great video ! Is there an update on this tree. Thanks

[@clivesconundrumgarden]

I really doubt you would have killed that tree. I mean, what you do to roots always makes me gasp and it always works out. And then you go and chop it down anyway. Well done! Cheers, Colleen and Jason

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Ha ha, thanks Jason & Colleen. These trees are pickier than my usual ones… so I would have very likely killed it. Fingers crossed it will survive still. I had it outside overnight and we dropped down to 5C.. brrr.

[@clivesconundrumgarden]

@@BlueJayBonsai eeek! that's worse than us!

[@oscars85]

Love me some BRT, I have never tried to root a cutting, I wonder if it would work. Have you tried/have had success rooting a BRT cutting? Thanks for sharing Jay.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thanks Oscars! No, this is my first BRT, and I did not try to root the cuttings.

[@baldyeti]

Ha! You made him famous! Awesome root work! Good call going to the net pot. I’ve had mixed results using them. But my science is crap because of Yeti-error. I’m looking forward to seeing how it responds, brother!

[@baldyeti]

Oh, I forgot to comment on your thumbnail! Ha! Great work there.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thank you Bald Yeti! Glad you liked it! Made me laugh .. 👍

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thanks Bald Yeti! Yeti errors sounds very scary!!! 🤣

[@naturelover2335]

Hello from Guadeloupe, can you tell me the scienttific name of the brazilian rain tree, please ? Thank you for sharing and see you soon

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟 Chloroleucon tortum, sometimes still referred to as Pithecellobium tortum.

[@naturelover2335]

@@BlueJayBonsai thank you so much

[@mattbrennan647]

I would have killed this tree for sure.😬 A lesson I’ve found impossible to learn (so far) is sometimes roots that appear to be unworkable can become quite a nice feature in the future. Good choice with the pot as well. Thanks, keep growing

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thank you Matt! Nigel made me terrified to hack at the BRT roots.. so I really took it easy. 😮

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

BRT’s are my 2nd favorite Tropical!!!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Awesome! They are new for me… we’ll see if it grows on me. 🤣

[@baldyeti]

Bro, don’t leave us hanging like this!!What’s your first?

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

@@baldyeti Jaboticaba !

[@baldyeti]

@@Candice.BonsaiScience shoot, I had to look that one up. Those are pretty slick looking, for sure!
