Holy cow! I can’t believe you got that much growth in a period of 10 years. That is a spectacular tree.

[@wendyanndarling]

My heart almost stood still with nearly everything you did to that tree:D This is such a different approach to treating plant in comparision to tropical plants like I collect.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Looks really good with the new angle in the pot! Awesome tree!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you Nigel 🙏🌳

[@phukyou2505]

The can be only one Bonsai Saunders. Need you to turn around and go back Sir.

[@naftalyndungu8685]

Your video has so much knowledge. Was definitely doing alot of things wrong. Thanks a million!

[@hanokh3072]

The level of knowledge, experience and skills is unparalleled. Highly informative video.

[@HomeGrownHerbalist]

Very nice tree. The Jade is a perfect subject for those of us that got into bonsai when we were too old to wait 30 years to get the results we're after. :0)

[@thetroytroycan]

Never too old!

[@stephenlay9580]

The new angle makes so much difference I'm in the early stages of growing my mini jade and alot of the jade videos are not in English so I just have to learn by watching. So thanks for this help and information. Keep up the good work 👍

[@sandrahall9030]

I have watched this video multiple times because it's so instructive in handling a mature portulacaria jade bonsai. Thank you!

[@robertawestbrooks9531]

😂❤thank you, I have jade plants all my life, but never really made it into a bonsai tree. I love it, mahalo

[@pricethepeanut]

You really got me with cutting the wrong branch at first haha. You really pulled off the “getting a haircut in the middle of the video” and didn’t think we would notice.

[@davec3651]

He forgot to say that if you get a haircut during the process, the plant doesn't get depressed about being trimmed up.

[@melodymakingmelodies4896]

This guy provided me with so much straight to the point useful information about my Jade bonsai my brain is swollen. I push that subscribe button so fast it was like an auto pilot move...It was meant to be.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@henriquedelange]

What an amazing video!! I am from South Africa and I love these trees !! Keep it up please!!

[@DavesBonsai]

Love the PA! I'm excited about mine in ten more years!

[@petermeasells]

I love how you got a haircut in the middle of making the video!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hahahah! But of course! Some videos take a few days to film. You are the only one who noticed, good eye!

[@stevendreyer3220]

Hi Jerome, Thank you it is a very good video with superb explanations and good styling of the Portulaceria afra (here in South Africa we just call them spekbome, if you translate it directly to English it will be called "bacon tree") keep up the good work.

[@jayscore7182]

Fresh cut

[@pablitoapolinar7738]

Nice tree

[@felipekido]

[@roberttimmermans6614]

[@MrDoggy2024]

This is important video,lovely video......THANKS!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you!

[@jeffhurst4744]

Very good information, explanations, and visuals in what you accomplished in this video. I’m sort of new to dwarf Jade. I did not think of total defoliation before your video. I’m in the Pacific NW, so weather/zone much different than FL (where we lived way back when). So very likely an indoor spot. Thank you. 😃

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Jeff Hurst thank you very much for your kind words Jeff

[@rynocordier2068]

very nice vid , thank you

Desmond thank you brother 🙏🙂

[@ledesmastudio6633]

Thank you!

[@christiansanchez1486]

I’m telling you Jerome sometimes your videos remind me that I have things to do in my little garden except I wish the Port Afra in mind was still the size of the one that you was working on.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you Christian! You will have just as good of a tree if not better, keep at it!

[@kensanhan9059]

Thanks for the vid, i also have a Jade Bonsai and there is not so much info about them. Your video gave me some important knowledge for the future.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you, Glad it was helpful!

[@giovannimarquez2249]
