Return of the Wild Thing, My Cascade Cedar, The Bonsai Zone, Jan 2023

[@lois2551985]

Thank you for sharing you world with us

[@uppergorple]

Tremendous tree! At one point you said, 'Let the tree decide.' I like that a lot. Although I do have several trees that can't make their minds up...

[@baldyeti]

I hope the squeeze box & the French Lilac bit never dies. This video was so serene, beautifully done, good sir

[@t3dwards13]

My thoughts exactly!

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Dr. Saunders in action with his great surgical skills pruning. Excellent! Great updates.

[@MrcreeperOG]

Hello your my favorite channel I do like the trees and the bonsai 👍

[@michaelmott7402]

Nigel I love your temperament. The connection to your plants and the love that you have when you are working on your trees. I at some day will connect with them the same way someday and I keep treating them as my children. Thank you for all your help with my plants throughout the years. Thank you for all you do.❤

[@jballenger9240]

I thought the rock was a counter weight to the trunk and canopy. Looking good and healthy.

[@mattbrennan647]

Very naturally interesting specimen. The beauty of round pots is you can always easily change the front. Thanks, keep growing

[@marysoldeeley2218]

That was wonderful! I have a cedar to plan for now... I am soaking in all info first! Again, proximity music still makes me smile. Thanks Nigel!

[@bartstellink307]

The name suits really well...

[@patsfreund9164]

Nigel, you surely have a great amount of fortitude. Don't think that I would be able to let a tree grow with a "minimum amount" of human intervention. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@aaron.jess.official]

Never really been a fan of cedars until seeing this bad boy all pruned up!

[@barbkrienke8400]

The Wild Thing is looking good! I’ll be interested to see how much snow you got today! By about 5pm, we got about 7.5 inches today In Ann Arbor. I was thankful to have recently gotten my snowblower serviced!!! Winter has definitely arrived! ❄️

[@notionbonsai]

Ah nice you got some snow!! 🙂 Gotta love that Pinus Artificialis 😂

[@rebeccahunter725]

As bonsai practitioners, we spend a lot of time making decisions for our trees. This is a refreshing change of pace and it makes my heart sing!! 😉 A similar spirit to Sam's "cement mixer olive", but a very different execution . . . so to speak . . .

[@anniebananie444]

Trippy tree ❤

[@betulaobscura]

Cascade Cedar looks wild and very dynamic, indeed! Very cool!

[@gloriablanco7856]

Like and thank you so much.

[@Dave_0993_I]

This is a great endeavor, and your courage for his sort of thing is what I love about The Bonsai Zone. I really like the lower, upward arching branch. Great project.

[@nickybeingnicky]

Give the video a like. Help the algorithm

[@MrcreeperOG]

Good idea 👍

[@DavesBonsai]

Some great deadwood on the wild thing!!!

[@t3dwards13]

😂😂😂Nice!

[@VonSjovikus]

Such a cool project!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I'm liking this tree more and more each year!!

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Wild Thing. I bet you named after the song which is 50 years old this month. Cool name.

[@MaybeBonsai]

The Wild Thing is wild! Looks like it is time to fertilize the Pinus Artificialus, need to grow more branches since that one has died off!

[@MukeshMPillai]

❤

[@t3dwards13]

In this episode : watch as the master pruner makes the rare choice to let a tree be the master decider! Lol I do like the concept of not forcing a tree to do my bidding, unless it's something egregious.

[@TheWatchpoplars]

The music at 14:00 sounds like Ludovico Einaudi

[@stealthheero616]

Wow I never really noticed the underside of my evergreens still being quite that green while being heavily bronzed Nigel. Thanks for pointing it out! Alleviates some of my worries during some of the harsh cold snaps...but also has me wondering if the bronzing is not only from the tree decreasing the amount of water in individual cells to avoid cellular rupture. Could the browns be a mixture of of oranges/reds for absorbing the far end of the light spectrum during the winter months as a main component, and the green undersides for catching the occasional higher wavelength greens/blues that pass through the upper layers of photosynthetic tissues? Sorry, I went on a science tangent but it certainly does make one wonder.

[@jeffncompany]

i think it looks awesome! i can't help, but wonder how it would look with some of the deadwood exposed, though. regardless, a cool tree

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌

[@PeriodWoodworker]

c'est quoi ces cheveux ?

[@jaguardelcielo]

Foist

[@paulschaefer5241]

Spoiler alert! he titled the video return of the wild thing. and spends 10 minutes deciding what tree to work on before settling on the wild thing.
