My favourite Nigel tree!

[@JasonSchmidt-1979]

Looking really good Nige!

👍👌👌

That tree almost looks fake! So fluffy. You don't want to rush decisions on that one. You guys should make a youtube series restoring that car! Probably grow fast enough to fund the rebuild!

Julian is working hard. Great work ! Hope to see that automobil on the road some day. Imagine I lived close to nigel. I could help you weld that rust in no time at all

I'm looking forward to more Porsche work. I'm sure it'll turn out beautifully. As someone mentioned in the critique, another sacrificial branch low on the tree could help. That would then only thicken up the lower part of the trunk.

Tell Julian to buy: Fluid Film. Great to loosen up rust and a great lubricant.

24:05 Thanks to you I know A LOT already, year 5 in my bonsai journey. Thank you so much!

[@ChaNayNayAnime]

Such a beautiful tree❤

[@dkstott29]

Thank you Nigel...lots of wonderful meticulous work. The tree is looking better every video...have you ever considered putting small ornaments on the tree's for the holiday?? 😂😂🌲🤶🎅

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

That is one massive amount of pruning on this AP. But, this tree is in good hands with Master Surgeon, Dr. Nigel Saunders. Excellent! Part 2 will be fascinating to see the finish.

At 8:15 I bet that vacuum sound is Julian working on the porche interior

[@kevinklosterman2783]

Is now the right time of year to prune pines? I've always done mine in early spring. Love your videos. Thanks!

[@uppergorple]

There are a couple of full-size Austrian pines near me. Because of the needle length and density they always look kind of exuberant. A difficult tree to miniaturise without losing that effect. And, why did the Porsche sit there for so long? A classic car that should have been rescued earlier...

[@sharonbuckley4591]

Could you use a white accordion type fan that you could put behind the branch you are showing us when demonstrating your pruning . Or maybe a ping pong bat. Sometimes it’s hard to see the selected branch with the other foliage behind. Sort of like Peter chans paper bag

[@bobmccarlie382]

I don't know if I missed this in the video, but after doing this work, do you keep the tree from freezing over the winter?

[@mmjnice97]

im get a lot of white scale on my scotts pines... not so much on any of my white pine but the scotts pine all have little white scale cases.. everywhere but not so much that its noticeable from a distince how to kill those little buggers
