- I made a bonsai pot at Izabela's this spring and I'm finally panting a tree in it!
I prune up several trees before making my final decision on which tree to plant.

I never knew Nigel was an Aussie . He is a man of many mysteries🤣
Me too,but I sometimes thought he looks like an Australian,but it was surprising when he mentioned it 😃
Omg I didn't know he was Aussie, I've been watching for years haha.
Probably worked alongside aliens. I have been subscribed pretty much since the start of your channel, and you remind me very much of my now retired Nuclear Physicist Uncle who worked since the early 1960's at LASL/LANL.
@@satisharibam I think he's Canadian. He keeps referring to Toronto.
@@paulfontenot8569 he himself said he's Australian. And most of the Australians except the indigenous ones are of English origin. Maybe that's why he loves English Oaks🙂
I admire your ability to not take cuttings. Every time I prune a tree I take a few cuttings, and I'm almost relieved when they don't root 😂
At a certain point you have to stop taking cuttings. Certainly when you do everything on a small balcony like me. 🤣 But I know exactly what you mean.
Great choice for the beautiful little pot! You couldn’t go wrong with any of them… BLUEy green is almost the perfect color. 🤣🐦💙
Thanks Jay, I hope the Eucalyptus does well!!
Your videos on initial pruning are very interesting and informative. Setting up the structure is one of my favorite processes of bonsai. Thanks, keep growing
Tell us more about your Australian history please Nigel, as a dedicated Aussie veiwer I'm happy to hear your say your from Australia, wow ..i had to rewind and listen again as i was sure i misheard you. I know you are a clever and talented man..now it makes sense.. it's the Australian in you mate.👍😉
G'day Scott, I've lived most of my life in Canada, but both my parents were from Australia, they came to Canada in 1967 when I was 5 years old! My dad from Perth and my mom from Rockhampton!
@@TheBonsaiZone Thankyou for sharing that Nigel, you feel like family to me my friend.
The eucalyptus will look fanceeh in the lovely pot, if it takes! Very noice 🌳
💚💚💚
Nice trimming on all those trees. Interesting that you chose the eucalyptus for the hand made pot. Perhaps, some of those red rocks half buried in the soil (once the tree is established) would add to that Australian feel.
I agree Pat, I'll have to do that!!! Thanks!!
all these trees were great but that false cypress was adorable. there's just something about teeny tiny conifers. i'll have to keep an eye out for that species in the future!
I love your pot Nigel.
Wow are you from the land down under! A video about your life and your bonsai journey would have great to see. Love the pot
Thanks Christopher, I'll try and talk about it!
I wish you would talk about soil as you put it in. I’m new here need that knowledge as well. Thank you enjoying your videos
Great choice with the eucalyptus. They have grey/green strappy leaves, matching the green glaze. Also as mature trees they have a grey bark with Sandy orange flashes.
excellent 😍 thank you Nigel 🙏
Awesome…thanks for sharing
Cool pot
This little tree looks lovely in the pot !
I thoroughly enjoyed this video!!
I never knew Nigel was an aussie, like so many others as well I suspect. We will take him all good, he is welcome.
Keep up the great work! 👏👍👌🥰
Awesomeness
I've must've watched 100 bonsai zone videos and am amazed not only by the awesome trees but by the seemingly never ending supply of bonsai pots in your possession lol.
Thanks so much!! I'll be starting my tenth year on UA-cam in 2023!
Great decision. The Eucalyptus!!!
I love the colour of the leaves and the smell!!
That pot turned out perfectly fantastic. Hard choices to make my friend, and you done well with choosing the eucalyptus.
If this was mine I would of had a hard choice of my wyoming sagebrush, blue ice arizona cypress, Buffalo berry, or silver mound wormwood.
Thank you! Cheers!
This is one of my favorites you have done. Please take care of it.
That's is one of my favourite Eucaliptus tree. Its beautiful bluish green foliage is fantastic.
Oh, great choice with the eucalyptus! That’s going to look great! I would have liked to see how your Crown of Thorns would look in that pot. A shrub you pioneered as a bonsai in your own pot! But you dig the tan/brown, I get it.
I also appreciate your discipline, brother! Ever since your tree-count video, you’ve been a lot more strict on saving your cuttings. Good for you!
Repotting looks great!
Thanks Tom!!! I still love the elephant watering can!!!
I like your choice for the pot (which I love). I think that tree will grow nicely into that pot. Sporting the BZ Tee too! Sleek black, looking good Nigel!
Looks classic pot with brown colour there💯
Loved watching you prune
I’ve never tried to bonsai anything although I’ve seen many beautiful ones
Cheers from Melbourne ❤️❤️❤️
Nigel you are my favorite human
I think he might actually be a plant... look at those hair...
I am struggling with not keeping cuttings. Three very nice new trees! I love your pot! You did a great job on it!
Emily was giggling continuously when you went down the line saying ‘Bluey green’. I’m like ‘what is so funny?’ 🤣
Emily, ‘just say it mom! BLUEY GREEN, BLUEY GREEN, BLUEY GREEN’ 🤣🤷♀️- It’s just so silly!!’
She may have ate to many blueberries 🤣
So funny!!
Oh! your one of us Aussies? That explains a lot. :)
Looks awesome Nigel, good luck to your trees. And now you have your own eucalyptus tea from cuttings
Thanks Izabela, now that's a good idea! I did plant the cuttings, hopefully I can give you one!! How is your Brazilian Rain Tree doing?
@@TheBonsaiZone that's awesome, I remember you enjoyed the tea at my place, it was from my eucalyptus, looks like the one you got. Mine didn't survive the 2nd winter indoor. I hope the rain tree is ok, I'm away on vacation and Martin is taking care of it. It looked awesome in a new pot, I'll be making an update video when I return
i liked the false cypress :O now i will be looking for one haha, tho i find it hard to find trees i see you have, the don't have a lot of viarety here.
falsecypress deserves more press- i love them
They really are great trees!!!
Sweet! I was rooting for the eucalyptus! It looks great in your pot, though the false cypress looked really good, too.
Such a tough choice, I'd better make more pots!!
Can anybody else see the resemblance to the koala...hahaha...sorry Nigel...your such a nice guy.
Lol!! Thanks!
Cute and cuddly Nigel!!
Great choice Nigel
Thanks Fred, tough choice, they all matched well!
Those eucalyptus reminds me of when we used to go big bear. They grow huge
Nice! My peppermint gum eucalyptus cuttings grow super easily, I expect those will too👌
That's good to hear, they smell so nice!!
Hiya Nigel,
During my enjoyment of this video, it occurred to me how having a Nigel Saunders rake/tamping tool would be a terrific souvenir and remembrance of you. Any chance you could get someone to make a bunch of them for you to sell, give away or raffle off? I cannot be the only bonsai enthusiast to covet one.
First time see your video .very enjoy and learn something too.Could u tell me what kind of soil u put into the Bonsai pot.?Thank so much to show how to prune habicus. I will try it on my red one.
Beautiful pot Nigel! Also great choice, eucalyptus is always a tree species that really interests me.
Did you ever keep that pomegranate cutting from a few videos back?? I just picked up a young tree and it’s giving me a few hard choices for pruning. Maybe watching a video on the species in the future will give me some inspiration 🤣
I did keep the cutting, they are in water, I'd better check on them soon!!
Nigel ur a fellow aussie? where abouts do you come from?
Nigel, where do you purchase or find these beautiful pots?
Should have picked the Cypress!
Yes, it may eventually go in the pot when it gets a bit bigger!!
You need to rebrand as Ozzy Bonsai or something, Nige lol
Good vid as always! That pot really turned out great! Other two plants I could think of that would suit it would be a Chinese or Blue Star Juniper with the reddish wood to match. The foliage of the Crassula arborescens also match but its wood might be a tad too pale. Just some thoughts!
Keep it up and chat soon!

Thanks Ashley, so far you latest succulents are looking good!! G'day!
That's good news, I hope they've perked up really well! Send me some pic updates soon, hopefully there'll be enough to give to our friends local to you :)
- Ashley Bonner
The tetragonas I mean, I've wanted to share with Jay, Xin and Connor for a while so more people have access to something new. If some of the newer tetragona cuttings don't make it, I'll see about sending some too them directly next year when I have more healthy cuttings.
- Ashley Bonner
Yes you got many trees but I feel You should try growing that Ukalip cutting sir. Coz You have only one ukalip tree now, so the cutting can be 2nd uka tree.
I did plant the cuttings, I hope they grow!!
@@TheBonsaiZone Wow that is wonderful Nigel Sir :)
Speaking of your plant room are you working on that yet?
No rush 😉
Tough decision as to which tree to put in the new pot.
Yes, any of them would have looked really good!!

Hi, Nigel! Very nice pots and trees. Any news about the baobabs you planted from seed? Any updates?
The baobab's are doing fine, I like eating the leaves, they taste so good!!
@@TheBonsaiZone i will try the leaves. Looking forward to seeing them in an update video, or maybe pruning video 🤝😁 thank you for your answer!
I wonder if a person could bonsai a Labrador tea tree(Rhododendron groenlandicum)it’s the first plant discoverers would have encountered when they first saw the new world?
I'd give it a try, I've never seen one as a bonsai!
👍👌🍎🙂
👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍
You sure enjoy saying the word eucalyptus hahaha
Almost as much as saying Portulacaria afra!!!
Australian? I thought you were Swiss?
As an Aussie I'm wondering what type of eucalypt it is, as there are over 600 species in Australia? I love using them for bonsai.
It just says Eucalyptus (Herb) on the label, it does smell very nice!!
@@TheBonsaiZone what's your PO BOX I'll send you some eucalypts lollies.
It looks like it might be a silver dollar eucalyptus (Eucalyptus cinerea) judging by the leaf shape and colour.
@@Nuggettfaz Thanks Jim, I'm in Ontario Canada, I'm not sure where you are located?
@@strangenewt Thanks Julian!
Yes " A ora ngertos no spiking englis
You're Australian? You don't have an accent.

I have been thinking that you are a genuine Nordic person and then I'm told you are Aussie. What a shock! Nothing against Aussies, but they are surfing sun people, nothing Nordic about them. Hmmmm?
