I love these videos. Thank you for sharing your hobby, Nigel

Five trees in one video - nice pruning work!

[@japanesemaplesbonsai7133]

Thanks for sharing Nigel. Some big cuts there, very brave but needed. All the best from the UK 🇬🇧

[@salperez1943]

i like the roosters in background

[@n8tyler]

Love the sounds that you work around...So many examples to learn from...Thanks so much for sharing your experience and wisdom...

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Dr. Nigel. Bonsai Master of pruning. This will get the trees off to a great start. I like the way you explain exactly why you do it and the benefit by doing it. Superb!

[@DavesBonsai]

Lots of work to keep you busy!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

It sure is Dave!!

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

Great show! Awe.. If I had known some locals were going to see you, I would have sent items with them!! That's ok, I'll get these things to you. I finally have a bit of time off. So I can get to the post office while it's open! Great trims Nigel! I'm still not as brave for the big cuts....

Thanks for the ficus Nigel! I showed my 8 year old twin neices the video of you pruneing and potting it up. They were so fucesed on the steps and they had so many questions along the way.

[@johnberry1107]

Thank you for letting me watch & listen. Stay safe.

[@kathyvettraino2267]

So interesting to watch the beginning process with brand new trees.

[@averyprice9422]

I gotta get a ficus... i am getting a maple this spring tho...

[@averyprice9422]

If i wasnt all the way down in Alabam id come get it from you 😂😂😂😂

[@xavierspringer4086]

As always, thanks for sharing. But it hurt watching that hibiscus pruning 😅

[@nicolekuster6215]

Hi Nigel, would love to know the substrate you planted those Natal Plums. Because the bark of mine seems to get moldy in my anorganic substrate mix (pumice, perlite, charcoal, zeolite). And there is not much information on the care of those plants in tiny pots… Thank you in advance and stay warm 🙏

[@Minstera]

If you stick the clippings in water ,it still flower i think

[@amyjones2490]

I got scale in my houseplants this year here in Michigan. I have no clue where it came from but it’s hard to deal with.

[@AMTrexler]

At 19:11 the leaves of your tree look like a green guy who tripped backwards and fell of is feet. 😅 - feet up in the air to the left.

[@blaise.h5166]

Can we see your plant room?

Hi Nigel! You often say you have too many trees. The first one I would give away is this boring Hibiscus. It's really without any interest and I don't think you have another 30 years time to change that, unless you are still doing bonsai at age of 90... 😅

[@nn843]

Why not do bonsai at 90?

[@kathyvettraino2267]

He says he does some to give away to people who visit! I'd love to have a Nigel Bonzai!

[@bastiv7806]

@@nn843 I would. But looking at 90 year old fellows, I doubt I can...

[@bastiv7806]

@@kathyvettraino2267 Me too, but only if it's a good or at least interesting one.

[@kathyvettraino2267]

@bastiv7806 Well, I guess it all comes down to your interpretation of boring. I can't imagine one that Nigel, a skilled Bonzai artist, would spend his time on something not worthwhile.
