Watching your videos feels like therapy. I leave a better person, always
Really enjoyed this video with my morning cuppa tea 🍵 thanks Nigel
Ficus Friday is my happy place!!
Im new to Bonsai, and so enjoy your videos! I always feel like you’re giving us viewers a personal tour! So down to earth! You and the duck made me laugh! Thanks for brightening my day!
White winged morning dove, good luck and positive vibes coming your way for sure ❤😊
I was worried for a little bit. Happy for Ficus Friday!!!
In regards to the Dutch elm disease and possible vector insects... maybe use a Neem oil / organic soap / water combo in a spray bottle? I've been battling scarlet lily beetles for the past few years, this organic combo works wonders and is totally organic, safe for all plants, and doesn't affect helpful insects.
Another Fabulous Ficus Friday Nigel!
Die duck so sweet an d the birds 🐦 make this special
i Love the Ficus Friday ^^
Here in India ficus Friday always becomes ficus Saturday 😂
on that last ficus I really think the back is the front
That bird sounds like a Pileated wood pecker. At least that’s what they sound like here in north Georgia. I have been watching your videos for many years now. All ways love your ficus videos as I grow them down here also. Keep them coming!
I live in Quebec and you're right it is a pileated woodpecker :) we have many of them living here all year long
I've seen a few, but never heard their song before now. It's a gorgeous bird.
Yes a majestic bird. The biggest woodpecker we have here :)
I have got a better insight in ficusses now,like time very much but have a hard time finding the right soil. Have a better idea there, too,now. Thanks to your enthousiasm and sharing
Enjoyment as always in.... The Bonsai Zone.
🍁 the little bulbs on the leafs may be produced by gall wasps.
Best regards from Germany.
Great video! Cuttings are a main source for me! I sooOOOoooo want a greenhouse! Trees are so green... and so Fluffy! Oh the Spring fevers are hitting! LOL
Another fabulous ficus friday! Thanks Nigel!
Foisssssst!
Join the live next time to chat and be the real 1.
I was there🤔... I usually catch most of the premieres and do interact in the live chat✌️😊
One of the many joys of doing bonsai is growing trees from cuttings. Not only for yourself, but that way you can always trade or give away pieces of your favorite specimen.
To balance of the vigor you can defoliate the vigorous branch so that other branches take over the process of photosynthesis that way they get thick while the branch catchup to them
Beautiful trees Nigel 🌳
🏝The glass greenhouse looks spectacular. So fresh, so clean.🌱
Nice job
You need a cement mixer to mix large batches of soil at once😃
Hope you took the Almonds outside Nigel they need a lot of sun, indoors they will die!!
Every year my ficus trees' leaves start yellowing and dropping and they stop growing for months and it scares me. Then spring comes and they start growing again like nothing happened😂
They're slowly turning deciduous.
I can hear both a Northern Cardinal and a Northern Flicker in the background. I’ve noticed the cardinal in several videos lately.
Wow, those larches are looking really green and full. Hopefully you get rid of those scales Nigel, I cannot stand insects on my trees haha
That blue Japanese pot looks awesome, neatly designed and looks well made!
👍😊
good work ❤🌳
Thanks so much!!
The bird's singing reminds me the Jynx torquilla, but It seems that Canada Is not his distribution zone, but the very North far east is also close to Canada, so i think It could be. The italian name Is "torcicollo" because it turns his head left and right very quickly. Or also could be some species of woodpecker. Likes green woodpecker.
It may be the robins, they made most sounds in the video here
yellowing leaves can also be a nitrogen deficiency. I put hair on the soil and leave it lay there just water the hair an after afew months it became green try it out! a good hand fell of cut hair an it will put nitrogen in soil
My ficuses are getting some outdoor morning sun right now for the first time this year!
Hi
Theres an app that listens to the sound and tell you what bird it is, and its telling me the bird is a Northern Flicker
my elder berry tree cuttings are doing amazing but they have no roots but they have a lot of leaves
Nigel do you get Cuban Laurel Thrips on your Ficus?
I'm in northern Australia. All of my Ficus benjamina from seedlings to well established plants are affected. Almost every new leaf is damaged as it forms.
I've noticed it also on Ficus rubiginosa.
So far plants of Ficus benghalensis, religiosa, obliqua, watkinsiana, virens, racemosa and retusa are all Ok. All grown from seed.
Interesting to see you with Adansonia in your collection. I have large Madagascan trees here and will drop leaves when temperature goes below 24 C.
Nice!! Nigel I just posted my greenhouse/hardy bench tour, would love your thoughts on it! Looking good Nigel! This grow season will be great!! Yessss the lithops survived winter! Awesome!
Nigel for next year will you try doing a horticultural oil spraying schedule on all the over wintering trees for the scale and pests?
I'll check it out Andrew!! Have you seen the Lithops channel....
ua-cam.com/channels/Ox9WkbGGqC7aeY7l0oZ3rQ.htmlvideos
I wonder if it was good to keep them dormant in the winter and then when the light is better, start adding a bit more water?
Yes, I'll try it on my fruit trees and the Elms!
@@TheBonsaiZone yes! I think I might have suggested this channel back when I sent them to ya! That’s what I do, no water in winter and then amp up the watering as it gets warmer/days longer. Very nice!
@@Werd2jaH Awesome, thanks Andrew!!
great to see the tropical under outdoor light. how warm do you keep your greenhouse at night?
👍
IT’S ???
I do have lot of under training trees grown from cuttings i also have grown trees from ROOT CUTTINGS . They are more interesting n flowing.
15:27 I guessed it is caused by affids (black tiny insects). They leave a sticky substance all over the leaf, hence it starts to dehydrate and curl around. I encountered this problem on Hibiscus Syriacus and Prunus Cerasifera (they seem common victims of these affids). I hope the spray will work to defend the bonsai. 🌳🌳🌳🙏🙂💡
ohh no i got a Hibiscus this year and i saw some of the leafs on it to do that.
i do the same all the soil i use on my trees and then i don't need it any more i use it on my garden sins that is way biger and more then my trees xaxa.
@7:31 is that a Northern Cardinal
I’ve been hearing a Northern Cardinal in several of the videos lately.
pine warbler?
Sir I have big ficus cutting
Secondoist
My Serissa died 😢
Put those leaves in water and let it rot a while. I f ya time it good you will have those vein nets of leaves as the veins have lignin and rot slowly than the mesophyll
Cool!!
👍👌👌🍎
The bird sounds much like a linnet, but, coul be a red headed "inquisitor"(i just don't know the scientific name of it)
