Thank you Nigel for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm with us. You are the Bob Ross of Bonsai. Meditation in motion is what I feel from your videos.
I got my Blue Moon Wisteria... Well... For the flowers. I didn't realize they could achieve such a nice trunk! That Rain tree looks fantastic!! Great show Nigel!
Nigel I just love the view of the tree at 12:52 as a front, especially with the branches opening up in a nice V-shape. Keep up the good work, I enjoy watching your content.
My most favorite bonsai ever is a wisteria. Sam's specimen as he posted it about 3 years ago, and I have looked for such a stump ever since. (A close second is your larch forest). Yours is a long way from both the fluting and the flowers; but one of the reasons I love your trees and philosophy is that you grow for the next 50+ years, not necessarily what you will see in the next 5-10. As Jelle would say; "keep growing bonsai"!!
That wisteria trunk is indeed inspiring - what a site!! Wisteria like deeper pots to cool their roots and retain moisture. You may not want to repot in a shallow pot - tends to be detrimental during the summer heat. I'm totally infatuated with your Brazilian Rain Tree - the movement and structure is just beautiful - always look forward to its vids!
Oh boy is this cool! Can’t wait to see the flowers! I do fear that even I, being 23, might not live long enough to see it have a really thick trunk in a bonsai pot. The best bet is to put it in a huge pot with your patented bonsai soil to really let it grow quickly!
Wisteria are awesome when they're in bloom. They can be really destructive if allowed to grow near buildings. They have a habit of sending out long root runners to spread the growth.
Your Raintree has such a beautiful trunk. Mine is old, but the trunk is thinnest at soil level. Maybe your bark will start shedding next summer. Then you’ll love it even more.
Hi Nigel, I am a long time viewer of your channel. I have learnt so much about bonsai, trees, landscaping and nature from you. I live in the UK and have not been able to find Brazilian rain tree seeds or cuttings for sale. Any chance I can get some from you? It would be the prize of my bonsai collection.

Nigel im from Brasil, i have alot of those Rain trees (Pitecolobium tortum) why dont you put on a big pot ? It Will get thick in one year... Like 3x the thickness It hás now .. than you cut It back ane put in a small pot egain
@@TheBonsaiZone i understand.. diferent aproches than...i keep small but first i let It grow .. some times 2 meters in high, than cut back in 15 centimetres, than Work de cannope.. i think its faster.. try sometime in a rain tree, they real really fast from big cuts
anyone else just love how excited Nigel gets about trees
Yes!!!
Rain tree looking fantastic.
Very cool wisteria trunk!! Your rain tree is looking great!
Aaaahhhh, two trees on my dream list!
The Brazilian Rain Tree looks tidy. I'm looking forward to more of the fluted trunks!
It's amazing to see our native Brazilian species doing so well so far up north. Thank you very much for treating them so well
Wow amazing results love it!!!

Rain tree beautiful
Wisteria looks cool. Spring potting will be a great video.
I have hope for my Brazilian Rain Tree, Thanks for all you do.

I love the trunk of your rain tree bonsai . Thanks a lot for the inspiring video
Very beautiful!
Hornbeam is known for interesting trunks as well.
Im sure nigel feels like a genius after the root work and development of that wisteria 😁 great work Nigel
A lot of trees can handle this hard root world. In my experience, bald cypress can handle all their roots being removed completely.
Amazing bonsai sir🎉
👍👌

Tempting! Downside to quick growth can be coarse growth. (Hope my two cents have been well spent!)

I brought home seeds one time and the next day on my counter they started to explode. Very cool if you have never seen they twist when they dry
Does the rain tree bud back?
Nigel in Brasil we usually call this tree “Angico-Branco”
Or just 'Piteco'
I've got 4 BRTs. I don't find that they die back more than any other tree.
Do u put all trees in plant room in winter
What zone are u in

Really, I didn't know that, thanks so much!!!
Hi! I live in Germany, any tips how to get a brasilian rain tree. Can I grow it from seed? And if so are customs are problem?
Why do you cut back branches when the trunk is not finished yet?
Or it is finished for you but in my opinion looks skinny/like young tree.
Foist
Lucky for us, not 🌬️Frost.👍
Someone, please give that man a cookie.
That middle branch might need removing I think. It’s also parallel with another branch.

I'm working on the root base and I am hoping to keep the tree small if I can and still get a nice shape!
