I think these guest bench tours should be an annual tradition so we can all share in the evolution of the trees. Really like hearing Nigel discuss the trees with his friends

Great series with Conner! What happens to all those trees (especially the tropicals) during the winter?
@999jacie3 жыл бұрын
The Tropicals come inside and are either kept near a south facing bay window or in a grow tent in the basement. The hardiest trees stay under their benches, and the trees that are less hardy stay in a cold frame that is maintained between 0-5 deg. Celsius.

Hi Nigel!! Make sure to tell Connor that he has Good-looking trees and some very cool ideas that I'm loving! Some comments for him also: I don't know if either one of you watch Peter Chan's channel, "Herons Bonsai" from the UK. He swears by using only Sphagnum Moss for growing roots, like for trees that are suffering or encasing roots around rocks like Connor is doing, etc. Next and last: You should learn how to make your own Tufa rocks! It's called Hypertufa, and is a mixture of portland cement, peat moss, and either perlite or vermiculite. You can also add cement coloration to it if you want. Connor should check it out and play around with the mixture and molding techniques. As with anything, there are some excellent videos out there! You too, Nigel. God bless to you both, and have a great weekend!!!!

That accent plant on the living bridge penjing looks a lot like what we call "dollarweed" here in FL, look up "Hydrocotyle umbellata" and decide if it might be the same thing. Here it's an aquatic plant that loves moist sandy soils and full sun/partial shade. Really impressive work, Connor! Thanks for sharing with us all. Stay safe and well :)

That root bridge planting is nice. I remember you Nigel talking about making something like that with Ficus elasticas, if I'm not mistaken.

@ruizhiqiu21093 жыл бұрын
I think the accent plant is not a pilea peperomoides cos it’s got a curly edge. It could be a Gotu Kola or Indian pennywort.

typically trees cultivated to have variegation begin to revert to normal foliage if you do not prune off the leaves that grow without variegation. in nature the variegation makes the leaf less productive for photosynthesis so it is constantly battling to have "normal" foliage. I dont think it has to do with the amount of light but I could be wrong just a thought

I was surprised by the way Connor was handling the Carissa macrocarpa, the ones I have all have loads of thorns. They are native to where I live so not sure if that has anything to do with hit. Also, see if you can find any C. macrocarpa "Storm" cultivar. They have really tiny leaves and look amazing.
