I begin to pick out and to work on my trees for the KW fall bonsai show. I'm choosing different trees this year, so I can continue growing the rest wild for the summer.

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.

My goodness, what a wonderful tribute to the shelf frames we sent to you. You have done them up so nicely and made us so very proud of how you used them. I would like to remind you that you 'could' put yet another two shelves onto this frame. One under the one in front, making that a place to put extra items and plants. And the other under the top one. This could be for plants that you would like to be more protected. We have used this one, in particular, for extra vessels for upcoming plantings. We would like to share that this is a patented product :)

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.
@TheBonsaiZone
@TheBonsaiZone 5 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.

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.

Thx for sharing this video, as always I really enjoyed it. I don't exactly know why, but your videos can still keep me on track, while many other videos just bore me. It's probably the way how you lead from start to the result. Also I often think while watching your videos "he should not have done that" and a few seconds later I tend to change my mind again, it's probably a drive of my inside to find something in your videos I can't agree with, but until now it's quite not a story of success :) I like your new place you built to manage your Bonsais and film the process, the black background is just perfect, and it all looks very tidy. Btw. I miss the squirrel, does this little guy still live ?

I usually don't wire my trees into the pots. I've never had a problem with them falling out (yet). If I do, I may change my ways!

Nigel,,I have really been enjoying your wonderful Bonsai videos. One question I wonder about often is if you have a feeding program of any sort for your various Bonsai. I assume there must be something more than just rainwater for keeping your pants healthy. Would you discuss this subject in some future release. That would be greatly appreciated. IMHO...you are a Bonsai master and an excellent sensai.

I check my trees 3 times a day to see if they need water. I only water when the soil looks like it is starting to go dry. Other than that, nature does most of the work!

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!

Hi Nigel, good job for the African style. It seems that the tree is very stable and I don't see you use any wire winding the tree root from the bottom. How do you managed to make it so stable?
@TheBonsaiZone
@TheBonsaiZone 6 жыл бұрын
I prune my root base to be flat on the bottom and all the roots to grow in a radial pattern. This helps keep the tree stable until the roots begin to grow again. Here is my video on this.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5S2pmuJirZjoac

Thanks a lot Nigel! By the way, do you think it is necessary to wire the roots in order to make it in a radial pattern and stabilize the tree?

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!
