Lot of dramatic big cuts on the hibiscus, I think the left/right thick branches cuts were necessary, I am glad you took those back. The tree is looking great! Also lot of reduction for the natal plum haha
Never dissapointed in watching your train of thought when pruning - the hibiscus looks gorgeous!🧡 I really gotta get me one and make it survive!!! Sad to see those natal plum cuttings go to waste, but I do understand the lack of space. Good work anyhoo, as always, the trunklines look promising 💚💚💚
This was a great video, Nigel. My favourites are when you make massive changes to your trees and keep them compact. I agree with all the changes you made on your hibiscus and can't wait to see the next video after it has recovered. Your plum trees are going to be so cool as well.
in Indonesia this is called a hibiscus flower and it is very abundant, but I'm sure Mr. Nigel's hands like all of you are very well cared for so that they become beautiful plants 😍💓 I will really imitate them
I LooOOOoooVe the trunk on that hibiscus! This is yet another tree I blame you for my owning them Haha! And yes, a little prune on the plums, they went from Thick to Stick. One difficult concept to really get is to not look at the trees in the now, to look at them in the future so as to make decisions now to attain that future look.
I wonder if having to chop the trees so hard to ensure good space in the plantroom will actually make your trees even better! Kinda adds another layer of reasons to compact!
I love when you prune the hell out of a tree! It gives me more confidence in my own pruning, a bit more daring! I was wondering, with your jades, do you wait for the leaves to start wrinkling before you water them again?
No, I think that's leaving it a bit too long, I watch for the soil to almost dry out completely and then fully water it, if it is a sunny day. If it is not a sunny day, I wait until one comes along. I will mist the Jade while I'm waiting!
Hi, Can I cut back the branches of my young Ficus "Ginseng" and leave leafless branches at the end without the branches or tree dying ? Many branches of my ficus are straight. I know it's okay to cut hard but it's still stressful as a decision :D Thank you again for the free tutorial Nigel Saunders 🙂
Hi Nigel, what do you think of the Vouiu brand tools? I notice you're using the concave cutter, but not the scissors. Are they worthwhile if I'm looking for new tools? Thank!
The concave cutter has some rust on it, it must be a poorer quality Stainless Steel. Most of the tools are quite large and I find them a bit clumsy for smaller trees. Overall they seem to still be quite good, I'll have to use them more often to really test them out!
You know what would be nice with each video.. that you tell the viewer's how old or how long you have had each tree.. how long have you had this Hibiscus?
No fear, Nigel! The trees are set for good future development!

Nice job on the hibiscus 🌺 make some tea with the flowers.
Nice amount of cuttings for your club. Nice looking trunks on the Natal. Spring growth will be nice and lush.
Try those hibiscus flowers in to the tea!
That's quite a change in the look of the hibiscus! It has a more vertical look now.
Interesting species the Natal plum. Very compact growth.
Excellent explanation of the grow and clip method on this unique looking Hibiscus with a cool looking trunk.

Snip,Snip, All Done!!!
I have a hibiscus was questioning how to go about pruning it...thanks for ur video and insight...hopefully can show soon
Nice work Nigel. It looks much better after those big cuts
Thank you for your clear decision making. I am in process of doing some pruning on my hibiscus.
Nigel, you need a pet turtle to enjoy your flowers!
Turtles tend to be more carnivorous. Tortoises enjoy hibiscus.
@@FreedomAnderson True, but don't forget, all tortoises are turtles, but not all turtles are tortoises.
Awesome video Nigel! Some awesome work done to both trees, the plums turned out much more impressive than I thought for such little trees 😁🌳
This is a really nice developing tree. great to see it on a premiere for once. Cheers, Xav
The frame of the thumbnail in the Dec 2021 video with that hibiscus has been my laptop wallpaper since then and I have no plans to change that
Cool!!
Those were some mighty big cuts my friend. Great job all around!
Thank you kindly Dave, yes it is hard doing them, but I know I'll be glad I did some day!!

Hallo mr. Nigel greeting from me in🇲🇨
When do you repot your hibiscus

Yes, if your tree is healthy and vigorous and you have good after care!!! Warmth, Light, lots of misting and good watering!

When you ask your barber for a trim and you walk out looking like Jean-Luc Picard.
Maybe it’s a wig?! ✌️
Ain't it is what we all need sometimes)🤣🤣
You know what would be nice with each video.. that you tell the viewer's how old or how long you have had each tree.. how long have you had this Hibiscus?
nervous scissors
thank you Nigel
Foist

Hi, do you use wires for making shape of your bonsais? Thanks
I think 99% of the time Nigel uses the clip and grow method.
Kembang Sepatu
