Mid Summer Bonsai Pruning, Part 2, The Bonsai Zone, Aug 2019

[@mikeshobbiesandrandomstuff]

I put on my headphones sat back relaxed and repotted my money tree that I saved from Home Depot while watching. Such a relaxing experience thank you Nigel.👍👍✌

[@garygenerous8982]

That fern is a miniature version of what I imagine a mangrove tree looks like. Amazing!

[@lordgrubbin9394]

I think this plant is one of your craziest projects so far. And I reeealy love it! Good job! ^^

[@TheBonsaiZone]

It was never intended to be a bonsai, it was to be an accent plant, but I just couldn't help myself!

[@PlantObsessed]

That "tree" continues to amaze me. Thanks for expanding the idea of what Bonsai means for all of us.

[@patsfreund9164]

Enjoyed your update. I am most impressed with the Norfolk Island Pine. It looks very good. For a moment I thought they were Redwoods. One of the best plantings of the Norfolk Island Pine that I've ever seen. The trees are in great proportion, one to another.

[@mayormaynot2873]

Exhibit A: what is Bonsai? Proof that ANYTHING can be Bonsai! As always, nice work!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thank you Michael and my Asparagus fern thanks you also!

[@marshalllopez6188]

I love this , so here I go ! Gonna try it ...

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks, you can't go wrong!

[@terrysharing]

An Asparagus Fern Bonsai! It never occured to me! When I saw your response to another comment, "I just couldn't help myself!" Well, that is me too! I tend to go crazy and say, "What would happen if..."? Love your channel and learn a lot. Many Thanks!

[@seanevans6931]

Quite keen to see what you do with that f.burt davyi. Always excited to see all your South African trees

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

With this tree you have succeeded transforming the commonplace into something mysterious and unusual.

[@mediapc4747]

There's a remarkable similarity between the final form of the tree and your own haircut :) 12:53

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I noticed that too!

[@mediapc4747]

@@TheBonsaiZonesorry if that sounded cheeky, I meant it in the nicest possible way. I haven't had a haircut for 20yrs so I'm no role model when it comes to personal pruning.

[@JulleMor2307]

Hey Nigel! You are the one that inspired my to get into bonsai. I am still a bit "green" to the hobby but learning all the time ! I wanna thank you for being the way you are (sounds strange I know 😊 but true) and remember never change, you inspire people, a lot more then you Know including me !💪 And also I would love to see a update on your root over rock project. Thank you and enjoy the rest of the summer 😊

[@BonsaiJCan]

The asparagus fern looks really tree like, it looks great! Everything else looks really good and your large kapok tree looks like it's getting near or is at the top of your green house. It really grew !

[@dabblingwithbonsai]

I've always liked this one.. With a water effect made with sand or somesuch it would look like a mangrove tree, I think. Thanks for the updates, I just love the blooms on the bougainvillea

[@AndeeKiss]

Nice video, thank you! The trees are beautiful! 😍 That asparagus fern looks great! Now you have a twin! 😉😀😊

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks, me and my fern cast the same shadow!

[@janakubik-kwan1378]

That is one impressive fern. One of my favorite types.

[@R_H21]

Nigel, that tree has got to be one of the ‘weirdest’ trees in your collection!! Looks nice after pruning, though. I enjoyed the updates. =)

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Yes I think it might be my strangest creation!

[@fredgrech1498]

Looking spectacular thanks for sharing

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thank you Fred, I think it looks good for a weed!

[@rahulrnath8183]

I love your KZbin which gave me inspiration to start my own bonsai collection. I have suggestion of tree to be a bonsai. It's called Aegle marmelos , commonly called as bael . It has awesome root structure. Main beauty is that leaves arrangements. Two leaves to opposite side and one in middle. It has very pointy needles. It's native to Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thank you Rahul, sounds like a interesting species for bonsai. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegle_marmelos

[@username-kj1du]

Really like what you Do!

[@hamzaokutan7434]

Hey Mr. Nigel we would like to see an update on your biggest bonsai. Btw like your videos

[@entyropy3262]

Yes, I was about to ask if it is doing well too, so, Nigel, how is the Yew doing ?

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I'll update it on the next video, it is still alive, but not busting with growth.

[@jordancaldeira892]

Please please please more videos in the burt davy!!

[@Obsidemon]

Never stop what you're doing man.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thank you, I'll keep going to the end!

[@thefrank4765]

Another informative video, great, keep them coming.

It would me cool to get a model of a Komono Dragon to sit below it.

[@luisgalindo4477]

excellent video, thank you very much, I would like to see updates of your citrus trees, greetings.

[@ashwarirai]

really not seen lik this in my life sir. awsome

[@deletingsoon.3790]

That looks amazing, I'm gonna have to try to make one into a bonsai.

[@josiehardy6988]

Hello from West Virginia Nigel. Bonsai has changed my life and you have been a big part of that. Thank you so much for sharing what you do with everyone. Your channel is the closest thing to a bonsai club we have where I live, (middle of nowhere). I just learned what bonsai really is about 2 yrs ago and now I have over 100 trees in training. Just wondering what type of tree is to the right of your bougainvillea around 13.19 in your video, with the weird almost maple like leaves? Thanks again for spending so much of your time sharing the art of bonsai with the world. Keep it up man.

[@benparkinson8314]

Portucaria afra or whtevr jade tree forest is looking quite masterful... The proportion and movement of the silhouette the contrast of dark trunks strong green leaves and the light coloured rocky 'soil' work together to create a very pleasing image

[@benparkinson8314]

That asparagus fern has a familiar looking haircut...

[@hollymunfordbloe4744]

Hahaha! Yep! Love UKULELE HOLLY

@@TheBonsaiZone Thank you, Nigel! I just want to let you know that your channel inspired me to start my first bonsai!

[@lordgrubbin9394]

14:52 ... that's litteraly what I think, every time I work on my trees! 😂

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Funny, I think that though, way too much!

[@collecter3456]

I just dug up a Norway maple, and I planted it in a normal pot with a decent drainage hole. I am a beginner ( this is my first tree) but I have formulated a good soil, and I have researched bonsai trees extensively. I do have one question, can I keep the pot, or should I for sure jump onto a good bonsai pot before the tree makes a decent root base in the existing pot? Btw, I do know of the 2/3 rule.

[@Sailor_McNemo]

I have named this tree "Flying Spaghetti Monster". One of my favorites!

[@douglasfir306]

Could that tree next to your new ficus be for any chance Euphorbia milii? It resembles like it. Anyway, Nigel do you recommend constant pruning on my willows? They are always growing new shoots and they are just overall very vigorous, and I fear constant pruning in the middle of the summer could kill the trees.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I believe that is my Aloe vera bonsai. I let the Willow shoots grow long and then cut them back. I stop pruning about half way through summer and then let them grow until fall when they loose their leaves. This will keep your Willow vigorous.

[@douglasfir306]

​@@TheBonsaiZone duly noted, thanks!

[@CLOWN6DEVIL6BOY6]

Hello friend first I would like to say your videos and your bonsai trees are absolutely great. Iv came to you for a bit of help. I’m new to bonsai and have a lovely sequoia sapling and as I was wiring and training it I noticed a very small crack in the area where I bent it. So what I want to ask is in your opinion do you think it will mend and my sapling survive? I’m just a worrier and I love my trees and don’t want it to die😞 if you could please reply back thank you so much and have a wonderful evening.

[@jamesorina4518]

First time i saw this piece i thought it was a small bamboo. Root over temple update please nigel

[@jolenesharp6973]

Hi Nigel how about an update on your greenhouse.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Hopefully tomorrow!

[@robert-sl4cc]

thx for all the info. love the channel. first year for me and have started about 20 trees, mix of anything i could dig up in spring and a few clearance trees that i thought would be good. first year... grab anything i can!. lol. cuttings not working out well but i will learn. question i have is about sunlight. my yard is about 70/30 full sun in August and not much i can do. water is not a issue but i worry about to much sun for some young ones. i shade them as much as i can but summer sun seems to be hard on them anything you can help with?

[@ΘεόδωροςΦεργάδης]

Nice pot

[@BackyardBonsaiAustralia]

looking at the leaves on the ficus here I do believe it is BD and not Natalensis

I buy this plant 3 times because I love your Work and this bonsai❤️❤️❤️ ..but every time leaf become yellow and and they fall off. In other case leaf become Brown and they fall off. Please help....

[@TheBonsaiZone]

They do require good light, a sunny window will do but it is best if they can go outside. I plant mine in a good free draining bonsai soil and water daily in the summer.

[@abhisheksahane377]

@@TheBonsaiZone thank you for reply!! Watching your videos from last 2 year and love them.. Iam form india, I have some other plants like focus, juniper etc they are growing really well.. In the case of asparagus I can't find out reason why this plant dry and die every time

[@madmanno5566]

Hello, Nigel! Can you please give me a piece of advice? What to do if there is a hole in centre of the trunk?

[@TheBonsaiZone]

You can fill the hole with bonsai soil and hopefully roots will grow in the soil and help fill in the void.

[@madmanno5566]

But if the hole is on the top of the trunk?

[@shvshvhkv8608]

👌👌👌...!!!

[@shushmitavatsyayan7377]

my asparagus fern is 15 years old...haven't repotted it for over 6-7 years ....now it is so root bound in a cement pot that it is pretty difficult fir me to pull it out... how can i save my plant and ensure its longevity

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Once you get it out of the pot, you can cut away a lot of the roots, or sort them out and plant it higher in the pot with fresh soil underneath. Be sure to keep the soil damp after re potting. I water mine daily in the summer.

Nigel, always love your videos! Not sure where else to contact you specifically -- so I'll just leave this link here if you or anyone else happens to see it. Another KZbinr -- he has a self-described crass take on ecology - but boy, does he have charm, and seems to know what he's talking about. Here's him saving a sick coyote pup and describing some local Chicago species. I love the channel, and hopefully some other people watching you might enjoy him as well :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmTZnXhnarqkjNU

Thanks you Dillon for sending me the link, a very funny and educational channel! I subscribed and my wife is watching all his videos now. Great channel to watch with a good message for all.
