Always happy to have the father of Mr. Weathertree, and Mr. Elephant in my backyard! Thanks Tom.

Nice work Steve!

[@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai]

I get much of my inspiration from you! Thanks Nigel

[@PatriciaOConnorBonsaiBalcony]

I really enjoyed this, Steve thank you for having us.

[@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai]

Thanks for being there Patricia.

Nice looking trees, Steve. Always prep work to be done for the winter months. That little pine would make a nice bonsai Christmas tree with some mini lights around the pot.

[@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai]

Thanks Tom. That would be cute.

[@maryweber4176]

Exactly the video we need right now. Thanks Steve.

Suppose wait until all leaves have turned color before cutting anything! Not a single leaf need be still green when u prune in fall. Otherwise u taking energy away and hurting the tree right b4 winter. Don't take my word for it, do ur research!

Good luck with your Bonsai Shuffle Mary

TFS...

[@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai]

You are so welcome

[@ryanmcvay1745]

Fully understand the big sigh when determining big cuts! I am not the best at handling risk!

[@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai]

It tears me up inside sometimes. Thanks Ryan.

[@BuffaloBonsai]

Cool, hey Steve i just saw that you won the life of bonsai 7k giveaway congratulations!

[@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai]

That was very cool. And you were the one who let me know. I don’t have a Willow Leaf Ficus. Well, I guess now I do! Cheers Andrew.

[@ykcirselaznog4178]

What do you apply to the cut branch?

[@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai]

I’ve used a number of different things to seal fresh cuts, and I’m still evaluating what works best for me. So far I’m liking plain old rubber cement, which is what I use throughout this video.
