Great work Nigel! The Brazilian Rain tree is on my wishlist, for someday when I have a space on the benches. I love composite leaves, and the Brazilian seems really resilient and vigorous.
What a lovely video! I made some dinner, sat down and relaxed after a long workday. Beautiful tree! Those roots will love the new pot! Have a great summer Nigel :D
I think the tree looks great in the pot. Seeds take time, they will come up. Sometimes they take longer than others. Hopefully they are all viable. Lots of work you have. I know how it feels.
Love the camera view with the root pruning ... now it makes more sense to me as a beginner... when you snip snip the roots it looks like one of your chickens pecking food 👍
Nice, thx for taking care about your hands 😅 5 Years in this pot sounds a bit bold with this root and crown growth 😂 ... or maybe ... you did not say without repotting it. I really like it. If it was my tree,I would probably remove the visible thorns on the trunks, since they do not match the impression of a large tree, the thorns are out of proportion then, they make the tree look smaller. Thx for sharing 👍.
Beautiful tree and hair progression, love it. Thanks for sharing the next step in this tree journey! Catching up again after a death in the family, it helps to be reminded that life continues. Many blessings of good health and stay safe 🙏🏼
This tree hasn't caught my attention much before but now... wow! I want one too so must try get some seeds of it. Your skill and presence/acting on making videos improves every year :) Cheers (Hälsningar) from Sweden (Sverige)
lovely to see all the progress on your trees. esp. the spruce bog. amazing how quickly that's filling in! my own larch seedling is growing amazingly fast since i transitioned it to full sun. i've never grown a larch before, so it's really exciting. :) maybe one of the all time best bonsai species out there. that tar mixture also looks like a winner. when i have enough time for wood projects again, i might have to steal that idea from you, lol
Do the roots eventually hold the soil together? I don’t have any pots that shallow, yet. I also add some potting soil to my mix to kind of mold the roots stable.
Hello Nigel, I have 2 BRT Bonsai and 2 as plants that I'm letting grow out in large pots. I appreciate your wealth of knowledge and all of your videos. My question is, I have been using Akadama or pumice, small 1/8 lava rock, very small orchid bark and..... Miracle grow as my mix for all of my Bonsai. (Schefflera, Fig Benjamina, Dwarf Burning Bush, Juniper. Is Miracle grow organic soil a no for all trees mentioned?
Nigel , btw I think the tree in the pot with the daisies is some sort of gum tree , I have one a lot like it ( was a seed dropped from a bird or something )
Hi Nigel , I thought being a holiday today I would catch you live , maybe next time 😀, the acacia tree we get a glimpse of once in a while , I think you call it mimosa tree . What are your plans with it , I have 2 the same which are just trunks with a few branches and leaves on the top , will you trunk chop it or bend/twist it or …… I’m a bit scared 😱 to just chop the top of to reduce the height at the moment , expert advise needed please , was good to see the old wooden turntable from the old days , fab video as always , thanks
I love Brazilian rain tree. Have you tried another type? There is a type of tree called chloroleucon tenuiflorum. This tree is the same as the chloroleucon tortum, but its trunk is thicker. She looks old with a few years.
Great selection for your pot on the Brazilian raintree. May it continue to grow well for you. Glad to see that you are using Shirley's shelf. I bought one (since seeing it on your video) for my orchids. Best investment I ever made. An excellent product! Your place is looking GREAT! (Any update on the concrete for the new greenhouse? Perhaps I missed a video.
Thanks and it's nice to hear that you are happy with the shelf brackets1 I love mine too, I've taken them apart and put them back together so many times, I've lost count! I'm still waiting for the cement slab to be poured, hopefully soon.
I have a question about the tar you put on the benches. So this seems to be quite nice because of the daily watering but does it flake off in hot degrees or full sun?
Amazing work as always. Just about to repot my Brazilian rain tree pre-bonsai to a slightly larger put. [It's very much similar to yours in 2019 video] Would it be safe to do in to bonsai soil at this stage (size and season wise)? And if yes, any specific preference for bonsai soil? Location 7b-NY. Thank you.
I don't like wire marks on the roots and I prefer to use rocks to hold the tree in place, you can feel how the roots are doing by testing the tree for wiggling.
I'm afraid, your big jade might not make it. Dropping shrivelled shoots and shrivelled bark may be signs of root rot or a dead trunk. The big wounds could have caused dehydration, it just seems too bad. But let's keep hoping for the best. Jades are quite resilient afterall...
@@TheBonsaiZone I think the rock is really a Nargun! (A mythical, Aboriginal rock creature that eats anything it can get it's hands on. I think yours might be a baby . . .)
Love how I never seen you wire a single tree
That’s come a long way in 2 years. Looking really nice. Thanks
Thanks Matt, they are fast growers!

Thanks, I tried to do a little better than the last video!
Really impressed at how well you grow tropicals in Canada
Nice, thx for taking care about your hands 😅

I love the leaf style on that tree.
Why would you not anchor the tree? Wouldn’t the wind lift it up and out of the pot?
Nice to be able to see the development of your bonsai once again.
Exquisite simplicity, inspiration from Bonsai for living.
Beautiful tree now in a well suited pot! Just lovely!
Those roots came a long way since the last repot. A great success.
Hello Nigel, when are you finishing your ta prom temple? So much work and ended with nothing? Plss an update
I think he said he'll work on it again when he found the right tree. Nothing ended here.
@@lukasmihara i hope so. Causse when you follow all off the (building) serie, then it's strange, to mis the end of it
Just checked the lemon tree bonsai video, 3.2 million views, so nice
I enjoy learning from your videos because I’m fairly new to bonsai👍
Can you do an in depth video about soil mixtures?
I love the content btw!
It will fill the new giant pot quickly 💪
lovely to see all the progress on your trees. esp. the spruce bog. amazing how quickly that's filling in! my own larch seedling is growing amazingly fast since i transitioned it to full sun. i've never grown a larch before, so it's really exciting. :) maybe one of the all time best bonsai species out there.

Beautiful tree Nigel. Thanks again for a great video 😀😀
Hi Nigel, amazing tree. How ever I think you'll need an hair pruning for the coming summer 😅
You look so changed 🤗
I was going ask a few days back about the chunky jade , hope it survives
With new pot look more compatible. Great work sir, i like it 👍
I think it will grow really well in the new pot!
👈Good work keep it up - SL Bonsai
Hi, I'm pretty sure that you already know about it, but as a curiosity, this tree is commonly called "Tataré" here in Brazil. Beautiful work man!!
Don’t mind me.. just watching all of your Brazilian rain tree videos… 😂
Thanks!
The tree has grown exactly the same as Nigels hair! :-D
Indeed Matthew!
I love this tree
I have a few lebbeck trees i grew from seeds i'm hoping i'd turn one of them into something that looks like that one day
Nigel tvis is a lovely tree. Moreu updates please
Hey Nigel could you tell me the soil mix you used here please? Love the tree!
Do the roots eventually hold the soil together? I don’t have any pots that shallow, yet. I also add some potting soil to my mix to kind of mold the roots stable.
I don’t tie my trees down after watching your videos. I use rocks as well.

Very nice. Curious - why do you choose stones for support over wiring the tree into the pot?
Nigel , btw I think the tree in the pot with the daisies is some sort of gum tree , I have one a lot like it ( was a seed dropped from a bird or something )
Salam kenal dari indonesia🌳🇮🇩
Salam, temanku!!
Can't wait for the summer bench tour
Mayyyybe it works that you visit Conor again?

It does have really nice bark! I haven't seen one here in Canada, but I'll keep my eyes open!

How did yours do this winter? I know for most part you had your tropicals in the cool basment while fixing the greenhouse. Looking nice !
I only lost a few trees to the cold, considering the cold conditions they were in, I'm very happy!
Hi where did u get that fork ? Looks quiet unique 😜😜😜
I have a question about the tar you put on the benches. So this seems to be quite nice because of the daily watering but does it flake off in hot degrees or full sun?
It doesn't seem to flake off, it soaks into the wood really well, it the heat it gets a bit tacky, but not too much!
Hi
Hello Bonsai W, you are number Foist today!!!
What is the tree behind the money tree called?
Amazing work as always. Just about to repot my Brazilian rain tree pre-bonsai to a slightly larger put. [It's very much similar to yours in 2019 video]
Would it be safe to do in to bonsai soil at this stage (size and season wise)? And if yes, any specific preference for bonsai soil? Location 7b-NY. Thank you.
Why don't you wire the trees into their pots?
I don't like wire marks on the roots and I prefer to use rocks to hold the tree in place, you can feel how the roots are doing by testing the tree for wiggling.
Wats the soil
What soil do you use?
I use a 50/50 mix of perlite and safetysorb (Fullers earth).
Where do you buy them?
👌👌👌...!!!
What's your soil mix?
I use 1/2 perlite and 1/2 SafetySorb (turface).
👍👍👍
Thanks Quinn!
Like!
I'm afraid, your big jade might not make it. Dropping shrivelled shoots and shrivelled bark may be signs of root rot or a dead trunk. The big wounds could have caused dehydration, it just seems too bad. But let's keep hoping for the best. Jades are quite resilient afterall...

21:20 looks you edited a picture on screen.😂
The hair cut at 4 mn was so much better. Any thought of adopting it again instead of Einstein’s type?
:D
Thanks!
That’s not thorns… Rose bushes has thorns, that’s freaking spikes😂
Lol!!

Close James, close!
Did I hear a man make a sound in the background at 21:07? Listen closely.
It could be the neighbor over the fence, you can definitely hear a uhh!
