Ella Bella, I'm wondering if you have tried growing any bonsai yourself since you made your last comment a year ago. I'm guessing you would enjoy it, but maybe not. If you don't have a knack for styling, as well as having most importantly a green thumb, then I'm sure the sport could be quite frustrating for some. I've harvested and grown for a decade or so, and I still suffer from some anxiety and regret when I overly butcher a plant, or forget to water, over-water, winterize, etc. and the tree dies. Overall though the happiness it brings for me far outweighs the unpleasant feelings of failure. Continuing to learn and enjoy the experiment myself.

I was surprised to see you “pruning“ with scissors with such rough cuts. I would think you’d have several partial cut leaves and that wouldn’t be desirable.
@TheBonsaiZone5 жыл бұрын
This is a method to get an accurate profile to the top of the tree, it does cut leaves and branches in undesirable spots, but the tree quickly grows in new leaves and the ones that were cut in half can be cleaned up. I would not do this technique right before a show, the tree needs a few weeks before it looks really good.
@Rick-the-Swift4 жыл бұрын
Mark Dillon, you do realize that when you say the word "desirable", you are assigning that emotion to only some individuals, and many of which will change their definition of "desirable" sooner than they change their underwear. Soo IOW, I guess what the master did was prudent to the master at the time of his suffering. Seasons greetings and happy holidays and may ALL of your cuts- whether clean or rough be desirable to those who care enough to discern.

Nigel what is the fungus on the second tree? I see that on a lot of my full grown trees in the back yard it seems to be killing them or like a cancer. 2) I thought the same about the jeep/car on the first tree. Im not sure if its bad or good really it does give it scale at the same time does it make it more fiction? idk lol Im just looking at it in an artistic way. I love the videos and it challenges me to think of the ideas artistically along with the possibilities.

Hello Leland, possibly you are referring to the moss on the second tree? Possibly the Lichen. Both these will do no harm if kept under control. You can remove it with a tooth brush or tweezers. The nice thing about bonsai is that the possibilities are limitless!

I was wondering if you ever work with green Island ficus? We haven't seen your Willow or apple trees lately.

Yes I have one and it is due for a video soon! Updates will be coming to the Apple and Willow. Both of these trees have had some hardships.

Nigel, I really love what you do with your trees. I feel like I learn a lot from your videos and I really want to get to work on my own trees soon lol I was wondering, though if you considered adding any small flowering plants that you could use for a rainforest bonsai? It could look very tropical! Maybe cuttings of creeping thyme or allysium. I think the colorful flowers would make a beautiful composition :) anyways, thank you for sharing!

Excellent ideas! I'll have to study up on my rain forest floors and see what I can do!

Hey Nigel, how do you have your trees grow roots outside the planted area? that looks so cool man.
