Happy Birthday, Nigel. Time does fly with bonsai. I wish I had taken up bonsai when I was a lot younger. I'm almost 48 and I came to it only about 6 years ago. I love your bird's nest spruce. It's one of my favourites.

Oh, btw, the photos you were showing in the desert southwest were Joshua Trees, which I love. I never thought about them being in the Yucca tree family, but it makes sense. I love the sloughing of the leaves on Joshua trees, but I don't find I enjoy the way it looks on others, but hey, you can make trees look so beautiful. I will just have to wait to see what you can do with the Yuccas. Lisa

Hey Nigel, can I recommend a shrub for you. Caragna aborenses. Siberian pea shrub. Not only is it a traditional chinese flowering shrub used in Penjing but during the great depression it was widely used in the United States to provide food for chickens. And with a name beginning with Siberian you shouldn't have trouble with hardiness.... think it over. I may be able to send you some seeds when I send the other's this fall.

The tree died one winter, I had to leave it outside in the coldest weather because our furnace broke just before it went down to -25 C. I had to clear a path for the furnace to be removed and the new one put in. We were 4 days without heat, I was busy outside chopping firewood and keeping the fireplace going., the house just barely kept above freezing! I lost a few trees that winter, it was just one of those years.

Just saying a fan won't cool the trees as much as it would cool a mammal because the trees are room temperature, and unlike a mammal trees do not sweat so therefore the evaporation won't carry the heat off of the trees. So only use the fan to get hot air out of the greenhouse and cool air in, but don't ever use the fan with the door closed or it will just use electricity and slightly even make it hotter due to friction, just saying. great video and thanks for uploading as always.

Just saw this video a year late, so Happy 28th birthday doing Bonsai! Do your cedars suffer from pruning in July? I always thought that any pruning is done while dormant. Your tree didn’t get a huge hair cut, so maybe a light pruning can be done in July?? I have a newly purchased Western Red Cedar that needs a severe chop, but I’m worried about doing it now. How did your cedar do, since I’m asking 1 year later…? Does it winter outside, or in your greenhouse?
@TheBonsaiZone
@TheBonsaiZone 3 жыл бұрын
Thuja trees can be trimmed in the summer, they grow continuously in the warm weather. If you want to thicken up a section of the tree, it's best to leave that branch untouched. The Cedars in this video are doing really well! They will need a bit of protection when the temperature drops below -18 C. A shed, garage or cold basement is ideal until it warms up a bit. I keep mine in the basement usually for Jan and Feb only. Severs cuts are probably best done when the foliage gets it's fall colours, that olive green colour.

I had an elphant plant that died just like the left side of yours. It's unfortunate but there's always more cutting from the mother plant.

Yes, I've had some others that just seem to go downhill. Maybe the roots dried out?

Shame about the p.afras. My p.afras that I grow inside under a grow lamp started dropping all their leaves. I think they just got too dry. I wasn’t watering much over winter/spring, and I think they needed more once the heat of summer hit and the room warmed up. I cut all the remaining leaves off and they’re recovering. Trying not to over water, but they feel pretty demanding right now.

Can you trunk chop a elm tree, and could you turn a corncob euphorbia into a bonsai?
@TheBonsaiZone
@TheBonsaiZone 4 жыл бұрын
Yes and yes. The euphorbia will get branches and I think a woody trunk in time.

Super cool videos. Just wondering how I would go about finding seeds for more rare trees? Love the monkey ear tree, but have no idea how to find seeds! Can anyone recommend a good website?

Here is a website that I really like! www.rarexoticseeds.com/en/ The monkey ear seeds came from Todd's tropicals, here is his KZbin channel, he might be able to get you some! kzbin.info/door/fUIwCCW43wiXCQ7yl_CHvQ

Hey Nigel 🌿😊 great work, everything's looking great! You've probably been asked before, why don't you ever use wire to grow your bonsais? Just curious. Thanks

Can we repot a ficus religiousa at this time of year when it is having a fresh growth sprout?
@TheBonsaiZone
@TheBonsaiZone 4 жыл бұрын
It is best to wait until the new growth has hardened off and root prune and repot when the tree is in between growth spurts. If the weather is hot, sunny and humid, re potting on most Ficus trees can be done anytime as they are fairly even growers, but I find the Ficus religiosa grows in spurts.

I water mine twice daily in this sunny hot weather. It is best to check and see if the soil is beginning to dry out before watering again. I fertilize daily with a very small amount too.
