That spider survived the great soapy deluge and rinse, then just went right back to work at the top of the tree. Legend.
Since watching your movies, I am less and less afraid of cutting branches.
Who did not like this ... Nigel is so instructive and kind. Thank you for a great video. You inspire sir.🍍
2 of em so far! Ive been awaiting this. Just about to watch.
Makes me so sad that Nigels work is frowned upon in bonsai communities cuz of he’s so different and does things differently. Makes no sense to me for anyone to hate. At the end of the day if it’s a beautiful tree who cares about the steps he took to get it there! Team Nigel
Yes, I thought it was awesome. Nigel makes bonsai exciting as well as beautiful.
What a difference! It looked like a common shrub at the beginning, and by the end of the video you could see the beginnings of the bonsai tree it will someday be.
⭐️The Bonsai Zone⭐️ is the best! Thank you 💫Nigel💫!
Nigel I did not know this species and she seems very suitable to Bonsai...
congratulations on thinning and the selection of branches ... wise intervention my friend.
Cotoneaster is one of the best species for beginners. It is hardy, vigorous, responds well to pruning and wire-ing, has small leafs and even fruits if you wish so. It will forgive many beginner mistakes, except not watering it, of course. You can grow it from seed, cutting, air-layering. If I had to start again my bonsai journey I'd take a cotoneaster: so easy and rewarding.
Nice little tree mr. Saunders! Like that!
Great to see your pruning decisions creating a new bonsai. Thanks!
A wild bush became a beautiful bonsai, at the touch of a master's experienced hand,,,, great Nigel.
Going through difficult phase in my life and your videos acts as antidepressant for me. 🙌
I hope things improve with time Pardeep, just like a bonsai.
@@TheBonsaiZone thanks
I just got myself a cranberry cotoneaster two days ago! It made me so happy seeing that you got one now too!
Awesome Patrick, they are nice for bonsai!
What a difference!! I am going to get one of these to work on. Thanks Nigel.
Lots of cuttings Nigel,thats going to be a lovely tree . Thanks for the vid . Greetings from uk.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks doghouseclassics!
I love the cotoneaster it looks good already. It will be great in no time in bonsai terms.
Love it love it. From big box to a nice bonsai
Who knew there was a tree somewhere in that bush, nice job Nigel!
What a job, the trees already looking good!
Cotoneaster looks really like an old apple tree. Good design Nigel 👌
Great video! I really like that teaching moments and seeing a bonsai from the beginning. I will be looking for your follow and Videos. Thank you.
More ammo for the backyard green salad! That bottom thick branch was really thick! I am glad you removed it
Been awaiting this initial styling.
Hi professor. Starting this hobby myself. Love your work, don't stop the show. Love Maria Montreal Canada 😻
Two very neat starters!
i saw those cotoneasters at my local Crappy Tire and i was tempted, too. :P now i'm almost wishing i went and bought one! they seem to have all the best qualities of malus / prunus but not so high-maintenance when it comes to pests or disease. yours is looking very much like an old orchard tree, when you've finished pruning it. someday, maybe, when i have more room!
Great video Nigel I enjoyed that one
Because Nigel put a bug in my ear, I hit CTC this afternoon, found a sad and forlorn looking dwarf smoke bush for 8 bucks on the "save me!" rack. Took it home and gave it a lot of love... and some abuse with the shears... I am really pleased with the results.
Hi Nigel! I’m new to Bonsai, and love your Channel! Thanks for all your videos!! I suspect that you might have had fuzzy mealy bugs. I battle them on some of my Orchids! Spraying with soap and water is good, but adding some Isopropyl alcohol will kill them on contact, and not harm your tree. Can’t wait to see how your Cotton Easter tree grows!! All the Best! Janet
I learned how to pronounce "cotoneaster" Thank you!
Nice little tree! ☺
Enjoyed very much seeing you work on this Cotoneaster. It does remind me of an old apple tree as well. May it grow well for you. (I love this tree but can't grow it in my zone 10 climate as it is too hot/humid for it. So I can grow one vicariously with you.)
👌👌👌...!!! Looks like you're making us a master of bonsai...
Cotoneaster are delightfully forgiving trees. I have 3 collected trees, and another one that is waiting for the spring to join them. I should send a photo (but they are only about 18 months form collection, so not very advanced!) I really look forward to the development of this tree as the years progress.
Thanks, Nigel!
Beautiful tree to start with
Im watching nigel since 2018 and im always enjoying the vids keep it up
Going to be powerful tree👍👍
Cotoneaster grow like crazy, so it will get lots og new branches. They make new buds from everwhere......LOL.
There is a lovely tree under all that foliage. Cotoneaster should have beautiful autumn colors too, if I am not wrong
Yes, I'm not sure about this variety, but we'll see this fall! Thanks!
I really liked the results of the cranberry teee
Awesome. Please make more videos like this.
And great video
Wish I could find a mature cotoneaster like that! Please make a video on root pruning this plant.
Tree is look like your hair 😂....... By the way you are a great bonsai teacher 🙏
Of cotonaster there are many diffierent varieties. You were lucky to find a cotonaster aupiculatus because it's one of best for doing bonsai. In my area it's only available the contonaster orizzontalis that has an awful bi-dimensional growing patter with straight, symmetric 90degree fishbone branches.
Nice pruning! What about wound paste for the cuts? Any particular objections?
Elmer's glue!
@@averyprice9422 Really, Thank you
Wound paste helps a lot to speed the healing process. Divide by 2 or 3 the time it takes to heal a wound without cut paste. But forget about the fungal protection legend. Fungal spores are flying around in the air all the time. By the time you make the cut, the spores are already on the wound. I guess the paste protects the wound from drying out, what speeds the healing (personal theory, if some plant biologist has a better explanation I take it).
It's the CCC tree! Cranberry-Crab Apple-Cotoneaster!
Your cuttings. Try putting them in your solution of water in a deep tray and cover the hole branch and put a rock on the branch to hold it under water for 5 minutes and then rinse. Might help out.
Wow that plant has a 2g internet connection. You don't see that often.
Nice! Have you ever done a boxwood?
Our shrubs of 14+ years were very old Cotoneaster. We used to get the “white fuzzies” on & off. Neem oil would take care of it for 1-2 seasons. I am now kicking myself for never trying to propagate any of the cuttings from trimming as I no longer live in that house. Hmmm? Maybe I’ll ask the new owners if I can take a few.. Any idea if the thicker hardened branches would root? Or should I stick with greener whips? Thanks!
Hello Ron, I'm trying both thin cuttings and the thicker ones, so far they are all still green! I'll keep everyone updates on how the cuttings do!
I think the spider got something on its web
I was wondering why Nigel decided not to root prune, or repot into bonsai soil for this type of material
short on time? not wanting to overstress the tree?
thanks for the great video!
Wrong time of year
Hi Nigel the cotoneaster and apple tree are same family rosacea
How often should I water my root pruned repotted Orange until it make leaves
Water the soil when it begins to dry out a bit, it's best not to keep it too wet, but just right!
Remember to spray your tools as well
Yes, I do always clean them with the soap and water!
hello mr saunders, whats a good bonsai for beginners?
I'd recommend starting with a Ficus, they are awesome trees, are easy to keep alive and can become a really good tree with the right techniques!
Or a Jade
Sir plant name tell me
Thoid? If thats a thing :-)
order some cuts paste its needed for deciduous and evergreen species
Hi Nigel cotoneaster can get attacked with codling moth
Hey Nigel I had uploaded a new video
👈
The only thing i dont like about you UA-cam channel nigel. That you never answear in the comments. 😪
Never say never!

Cacti Lyndon, you have completed your Foist task!!!
That's unfair Nigel, you cut a lot of that shrubs hair and not a single of yours is not cut. lol
Lol!
