My Brazilian Rain Tree (Pithecellobium tortum) is getting quite large and needs pruning back. I'm also pruning my small Firethorns (Pyracantha) and showing some bonsai updates.

Firethorn. Cool! The 2 trees have a nice haircut and are ready for more summer growth. Really nice looking trees.

I can’t believe you are still protecting your plants from cold temperatures at this time of year! Unfortunately, I lost one of my oldest bonsai this summer, a collected white pine. Life got stressful, and I didn’t keep a close eye during a heat wave. Take this as a PSA to everyone, it is a lifelong commitment.

I keep white pines they really really need to be in native aoil it helps with correct moisture. They hate being wett but hate being too dry but love being a little dry...and holy shit they are fussy

@harrisonstreib Ай бұрын

@@rosshopkins2063 I remember looking at it from a distance the day before and thinking "it looks so happy". I had a lapse of judgement and didn't check the soil moisture, assuming it would be fine for another couple days without water. It was growing in a really small amount of soil, which was the main reason it got too dry. I have one more white pine that would make a great literati someday, wish me luck!

Beautiful tree, masterful work Nigel. For some reason you adding the 'Soul Sista' figurine makes me like you more.

Love that tree. It's so elegant looking. My opinion is the woman is bit big and takes from the tree a bit. But that's just me. All the other trees looking great also especially the rubber trees. Love watching them develop.

A lovely looking tree. Thanks for sharing.

PLEASE. Try the prickly pear cactus. Just wear gloves, nitrile. I have never been stuck wearing the gloves. They will grow great for you as a bonsai. I will have to show you mine that is over ten years old on a video update. They over winter great in the basement for me. Just do not water them all winter long. They will go dormant, but they will come back. Go for it. Not hard. You can do it. I grow mine in a milk crate and I wear long sleeves to take it out in spring and to bring it in for the cold fall months. You have great talent and it will do great for you.

Love the updates! You've inspired me with the rubber trees. One thing I've been doing is doing partial leaf prunes with a tear-drop shaped template so they stay small

I've got a Brazilian Raintree forest and a single. I live on the Texas Coast and the summers get super hot and the sun gets super intense during July, August and September. As long as I keep the trees well watered, they seem to love the heat and sun. Anyway, just a thought.

Chloroleucon tortum.

@JeffCheriegate Ай бұрын

A Pithecolobium Tortum, native of the Atlantic Forest in the state of Rio de Janeiro. 60% of Brazil’s land is still preserved forest, but the Atlantic coast was colonized centuries ago and only 17% of its area is still forest. This tree is a native of that region. Enjoy!
