I remember watching videos of yours from 8 years ago. I could be wrong but glad you are back. Thanks

[@OrlandoBonsaiTV]

Thank you so much, and you aren't wrong. Its been quite a while since I did a video

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I really enjoyed the video Paul, great work finding the basic structure of the tree! It's on it's way to becoming a real beauty!

Hi Buddy very long time between vids i am a long time watcher of your chanel and may i say WELCOME BACK keep them coming did you start your Nursery could we get a look at your trees as they are now

[@OrlandoBonsaiTV]

Thank you! I appreciate that very much!

[@OrlandoBonsaiTV]

Its been a very long time between videos for sure! Nope, no nursery, just working on my own collection. However I am really finding enjoyment with my trees these days so hopefully more videos to come

[@saturnynetitan]

Welcome back! Six years ago when I first got into bonsai, your videos were the first I watched and learned from because we both live in central Florida. Your "How to Bonsai - Podocarpus Styling" video is something I still watch. I even built my first bench based off of your videos. I hope you do more videos. Your knowledge is invaluable. Thank you!

Thanks Matt! I appreciate that and it’s good to be back. I’m going to work on my audio and find some good interesting material to work on

👏🏾👏🏾 Nice to see you again😊 Been so long.. I think I started out watching your videos waaaay back when...as we're in same area basically, Im in Lk. Mary/Heathrow, so gravitated to your channel because i knew our climate was exactly the same, so the Work would be similar😊 Anyway.. Welcome back!! I'll look for more to come.. Ficus are Exploding now!🎉 😆 Be Well!! This Tree cleaned-up NICELY! 🏆

[@OrlandoBonsaiTV]

Hey Damon thank you so much!! I’m glad you stuck with me all this time and that I was able to provide you so good info that applied exactly to the grow zone. Hopefully more videos are on the horizon. I’ve picked up a new mic and excited to try it out

[@damonjones1291]

@OrlandoBonsaiTV there was a Swirling type of Buttoneood that you had🏆 Always liked that!! If you still have It, Show It off one day😊 I'd love to see that one.. Until next Time! 🌲👑🌲

​​⁠that one wound up at the Pacific Bonsai Museum in Seattle in 2016. I have started another one that is starting to take shape. I need to do a repot on it later this year so I’ll hopefully capture the video

[@damonjones1291]

@@OrlandoBonsaiTV Ohhh, ok.. Niiiiiiiiiiiice!! 👍🏾 Spent a few years in Seattle, but it was way before I got into Bonsai... Maybe one day I'll go see it there😊 Thanks for that bit of info...
