Thank you!

[@danrobinson2866]

I just made the same comment to my wife.

[@lukenorton3120]

"probalbly the one and only time the worm will ever fly in its life." Hahaha thats real funny!

[@nsolanoc.]

That's not all true... It could be a flyer on a bird's beak, also

[@jaclyng7022]

I enjoy your instruction with every video, and today I'm enjoying your comment on the worm flying quite often for the first and last time in it's life especially! It has been my first chuckle of the day! Thank you! I

[@runumidsangma2207]

Instead of holding your breath, I think you should just wear a dustproof pollution mask Mr. Nigel.😊

[@MrTributes]

sumo bun + gas mask = cyber goth bonsai master

[@shoulders-of-giants]

Nigel, for the sake of your health, wear a mask while handling bonsai soil. That dust really hurts your respiratory tract in the long run. Holding your breath does not really protect you from breathing dust.

[@dabulls1g]

Why is bonsai soil so toxic?

[@seamseams]

@@dabulls1g Small particles in your lungs can be really harmful for your health, it's not only bonsai soil that can be bad for you

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I will, thanks!

"Probably the one and only time that worm will fly in its life! " LOL

It should have an air miles card.

[@dk2614]

Hi Nigel, can I suggest screwing two 2x4s one on either side of the grow box so that you wind up with handles that stick out so you can have some help carrying it. That's what I do with my larger bonsai in grow boxes.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks, great idea!

Fantastic as always Nigel. I have a couple of yews "thickening" in the ground. They have been in for about 3 years now and I was thinking I might dig them out of the ground next year. After watching this I think I'll leave them in for a few more years. Always learn something from your videos. Also enjoyable to watch. We have a word for it . Edutainment! Cheers. Sid.

Thanks Ryan, I'm hoping it does well, I've just got to get it through this summer!

[@andrewhillerich4878]

Got this video recommended a year later, real shame this tree didn't end up making it. Hopefully, you can get another giant tree in your collection. Still it was fun to watch this again. I really do seem to like watching trees get harvested for bonsai, it really gets your imagination going with what you may be able to accomplish and how many years it will take. The first potting of a wild tree is always exciting and hopeful.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Yes, it was so close to making it, but it just didn't, too much root pruning by me! I'll try again, I have two Yews in the front garden to dig up.

[@matthewyakabuski9620]

Collected Yamadari are special for training boxes I use 1 by 6 cedar decking. Rot resistant and light my soil is similar to yours but I like crushed red granite instead of perlite darker colour larger size and is heavier which adds stability to small pots I use a automatic misting system during the day on all yamadari conifers during recovery love your vids

[@PapaOsmubal.OscarBalajadia]

I am excited to see what will have happened to that tree after a couple of months, Nigel. Kindly update as soon as you find great changes on that bonsai, my friend.

[@monkeygraborange]

I was going to ask the same question!

[@jimijamesmarshall2328]

With such a large heavy tree, I don't mean to sound critical, but you missed possibly the most important aspect of potting up collected material. Securing it tightly to the pot/soil. With such a light substrate that heavy tree will surely move about as it settles in to the pot, right at the same time that it is trying to reestablish new fine roots. It would've been simple to screw some rings into the inside base of that pot and tie the tree down securely, and some more around the top outer edge to hold it tight from above. After growing it for so long in the ground surely you'd want to give that yew every chance to survive?

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thank you, it is planted deeply and is kept out of the wind so it shouldn't move at all.

[@Werd2jaH]

Hey Nigel. Quick question. Do you ever use those cut & paste putty products for big branch pruning? If not, why not?

[@lukemjm]

I've seen him use cut paste in other videos. Not sure his reasoning for only using it sometimes.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I rarely use cut paste, only on some trees that dry out very quickly. I have read that for most trees it can promote rotting under the paste and create a good place for insects to live. Here is a discussion on this subject, some like to use paste and others don't. www.reddit.com/r/Bonsai/comments/3mlqou/to_paste_or_not_to_paste_some_anecdotal_results/

[@darksentinel9304]

Why don't you just mix it first and then sift it? The mixing action crushes the pearlite and makes more dust anyways

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Good idea!

[@kokeshidoll5863]

Oh Nigel, please wear a mask when sifting!

Hello Nigel Saunders First of all, great content.love the channel.i have a naval Orange tree.that recently purchased from a local nursery that's going out of business.and the tree is about 7 feet tall with a lot of leaf growth at the top of the tree and none in the middle. There is some small branches toward the bottom of the tree. and I was wondering if I should take the center leader branch out to , To encourage more branching on the bare spot of the On the trunk of the tree. Any advice you can give me would be much appreciated thank you.

[@ΝικόλαςΜ-δ9μ]

Good luck with the new project!!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thank you very much!

[@hectordehesa2118]

Could you have used the finer stuff for succulents or maybe cutting soil mix?

[@TheBonsaiZone]

My wife uses it, she mixes it into her potting soil, I find it hard to hydrate all by itself. I think the surface tension of water makes it hard to get between the small particles..

[@patsfreund9164]

What a FANTASTIC specimen. Enjoyed watching your work on this tree. It will be an awesome addition to your collection. Does this tree have a chestnut colored bark? Looking forward to updates on it.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

The tree can have a nice red coloured bark if you wire brush off the older flakes. Some people like the rough bark look, others the almost bright red. I hope the tree does well, it will be a fun one to develop!

hi nigel. iam new to bonsai and find all of this aspect of growing trees in small pots amazing that is the the tree, the pots, the soil mix, training with or with out wire, color of pots, shape of the pots, front or back of the tree which will be seen by many, watering when and when not to, all together amazing. i do agree with a couple of your other comments from followers is please wear the many dust masks that are out there. i have watched your vid on making bonsai soil in your back garden which you used these 2 mixes with 2 others but the same thing...dust was every were. did you cut the back of your hand on this vid could see a bit of blood.

Great video and huge tree looks good! I got 7 very smal Yew trees about a month ago from the nursery. They were having new growth already so i left them in their nursery containers. I was surprised how soft they feel. I want to make a forest of them. What will be the best time to plant them together? And should I bare root them then? Thanks for the great video. Titus

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I would wait until next spring and re pot just before the new growth comes out. My tree is behind most others because of it's cool dark location.

[@kensellereite1983]

A question about your soil. I recognize the petite. What is that other ingredient? It looks like the stuff we put on the garage floor for spills. Does it have other names? Would this mixture work on ficus cuttings? Keep up the good work. Ken

[@uwethomae4127]

Nice tree! I also make my bonsai pots out of wood but I put foil in to protect the wood from moisture. Is not it easier to clean the root ball with the water hose? Greetings from Germany!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks, good idea with the foil! I don't have a hose hooked up at the moment, it would be easier!

[@anadelao1170]

@NigelSaunders, Do you apply some treatment to the wood before you use it as a container or what kind of wood do you recommend to use for it?

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I just used the natural wood, it will only last about 4 years before it rots away. I don't recommend using any wood finish, it's best just to use the the wood and as it rots, the roots will grow into it.

I understand you use the clip and grow method for the most part, at what point do you clip, how do you know to just let it grow. Now that it’s warmer out do you go back and check if some need more cutting or not? Thanks sir.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I always let the tree grow with vigor before cutting it back, usually this means 6 to 8 pairs of leaves on the branch. With some of the coniferous trees, you can tell the vigor of the tree by the number of new shoots in spring and the strength of the growth. If the tree is vigorous then the tree can be pinched back, if it is not, then I leave the new growth alone until the tree is growing strongly.

[@TheGorillaGuardian]

I have a question if you were to clip a large tree like a bonsai slowly and slowly would it start to get smaller and then would you be able to put it inside your house after so long

[@TheBonsaiZone]

It could be possible, you would have to reduce the root size as well as the top of the tree. You wouldn't be able to make the trunk any smaller in diameter, so it would always be a large tree.

[@joek292]

No organics at all in the soil mix?

[@TheBonsaiZone]

No organic matter and the tree looks like it is doing poorly. I'm not sure why the roots didn't grow, maybe too severe a pruning? I'll see this spring if the tree is still alive, but I think it is one of my many failures.

[@SomewhatHonest]

If you DON'T sift... What happens? Will it turn to clay??

[@BlueSkyBonsai]

If you leave all the dust and fine particles in the soil, they will block up all the small gaps between the granules. You need those gaps in the soil for good drainage, to allow fresh oxygenated water to the roots, and prevent root rot. Nigel did a video on this a couple of years ago, highly recommended :)

[@hectordehesa2118]

Mr Nigel, I just purchased 2 junipers from Home Depot, is it too late in the year to pot them in bonsai soil and training pot?

[@TheBonsaiZone]

As long as you don't do any root pruning and are careful with the roots, they should re pot fine. You will have to mist them and keep the trees out of the full sun until they show signs of new growth.
