I started Bonsai with a Douglas Fur. I bought it for my mother but could never find the right place to plant it so I kept it in a pot. I figured it would die, but after several years of pretty harsh weather (drought, freezes down to 6 F, heat above 100 F and very rarely watering) I realized how hardy it was and that made me want to keep it. Then one day I realized it was a miniature of an old, beautiful tree. It was full of dead growth on the interior and unwanted growth on the exterior for a true replica of mature large tree, so I cut them away and then wired it for some training. It is was my first and most prized bonsai I have, and seeing your video has inspired me to do some more.

We call it "The Chicken Tree". My great-grandmother planted it in her chicken yard when my now 82 yr old mom was a very young girl. The chickens roosting in the tree caused 3 of the 4 trunks to grow at about at about a 45 degree angle and it's been the tree on which my cousins and I...and then our children...and their children...learned to climb trees. So, I'm going to gather some sprouts and see if I can recreate our "Chicken Tree". ...and this is because you take the time to share your knowledge and skills with us. Thank you, Nigel!

Hello Good Sir, Again, looking forward to these D.fir's progression. But wanted to comment on the Pumice, as I get the same exact stuff, for my trees. literally the same bag. It was the only pumice I could find in my area, and it was found at a Marajuana growing supply store, so a hint to you and others, they have a lot of similar supplies as us Bonsai people. Grow pots, colanders, Nutrients, and more. I noticed you sifting the pumice, and I did as well at first, but found it was all that necessary, so I haven't on the last bunch of repots. I will say rinsing them with water is a good idea. Great vid as usual, and always nice when I see others doing or using similar things as I, which makes me think Im on the right path. Happy Trees to all! one last thing, is the use of rocks, I have been doing the same, first was to help hold trees in place while working alone, but as things progressed I began using them on most plantings and like the look. In a weird way, I feel like each pot having a rock or 2 will be like my signature characteristic, haha.

Ask a First Nations for help about that though. You might be able to get some rock-based artwork.

@TheBonsaiZone5 жыл бұрын
That sounds like a good plan! The Frankincense is native to the Arabian peninsula. I would try and find a pot that reflects the natural sand colour of this area. A more free form pot might reflect the desert sand, but a formal pot would look good also. I would try and get a shallow oval pot to give a landscape look to the planting. The root base of the tree might determine how shallow you can go with the pot. This is just my take on a possible pot, there are many different styles that would suit the tree, you could try searching the internet for similar trees and try and find a tree pot combination that looks good!

I haven't pruned it yet, but I found the tree in the corner of my yard growing out of a 45 degree angle hill, so it has the most beautiful trunk, it almost grows sideways and then casually bends up. I imagine it will look very good after 10-20 years if I can learn how to prune effectively. Can you tell me if the tree will naturally stop growing if it gets root bound? or do I need to hurry for ultimate shaping?
@TheBonsaiZone4 жыл бұрын
It is very important that you keep your tree healthy and growing well. Putting the tree in a pot will definitely slow the growth of the tree down. It is important to get as much of the root system as possible when you transfer it to a pot. After it is in the pot it may take a year or two before the tree gains enough vigor to be worked on. Major work is usually done when the tree is dormant. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGPNhZ6Pf6agitE

Lonely Doug should’ve been by himself.......right?.....lol that’s why he’s lonely!

At the moment he is by himself in the real world, but new trees will be growing in around him. In the past he was surrounded by an old growth forest. I'll be picking a tree out in the future that will represent Big Lonely Doug, but I'm not sure what time period I will represent for the composition.

Hopefully you don’t choose the Abies as your “Big Doug” that would be funny. Cheers!

Thanks, I'll be careful and get the right one! It will be interesting to see how they grow in the new soil, with extra bonsai style care.
