That is a lot of trees. You are always busy. Cool cement pots. Laura has some great food for the chickens. Cat good. Catches the night terrors. Don't know about the bandit though. Watch your trees with him.
It is amazing how quickly the tree total increases. It doesn't help that everytime I walk past a garden centre or nursery I have to pop in and see what is dying in the bargain section - needless to say whatever is there generally finds a new place to live...or die! I keep telling myself that I am selling some but instead I just build more benches. I loved the little bandit at the end - thanks for that Nigel.
What beautiful pots. I think your ficus would suit that large cement pot very nicely. I live in Australia and as well as growing many traditional bonsai tree species, I am really enjoying growing some of our Australian native species as bonsai. I have only been growing bonsai for a few years, but I am well and truly hooked! I have learned so much from watching your videos Nigel. Thank you.
Well, I was guessing that you had around 300 trees. Lots of work to take care of such a large collection, but we know how much you love them! Thanks for sharing your video with us. Remember to show the kittens once they are born.
My husband doesn't want me to feed our outside critters, but they hang around anyway. We have skunks (the babies play like kittens in our front yard) raccoons (I speak firmly to them when they start fighting up in the trees) ground hogs, possums and some feral cats. Oh and squirrels. My dog Sunshine loves trying to catch anyone hanging out to close to the house. Thank goodness she is portly and slow!
Nigel, did you count the trees on the floor of the poly house? Did not see you do that. Congrats on a magnificent collection of healthy, happy trees. Your joy in tending them is infectious….
Oh my goodness! I can't believe you are actually counting them! I afraid to see what becomes of the tree count once you have an accurate picture. I think you are going to come up with a plan to manage the growing inventory. I hope your are inspired to finish the large poly house after this! Fun video Nigel!
Well,it is impressive,you are doeing well for those trees,they florish and are thriving! Love the garden and the animals in it,I do recognise is like my own place it could not be any other way. Thanks for sharing!
278 good lord! Who am i kidding i got a tree coming to my house right now , i mean someone elses house thats going to gift it to me ! 😅😅😅😅😅😅. U went through the first bench and i said well thats more than me . Ha ! Love the videos nigel always relaxing.
What a collection! I think I'm at about 35 so far. Many of which are ficus, thyme, and some maples that happend to volunteer this year. Glad you can manage all of your plants! 👍 👍
So many trees, I guess once you start collecting it's hard to stop, you might slowly decrease the rate at which you increase your collection but it never gets to zero.
nice collection! i really like your videos because you have many species, you try things with unusual plants for bonsaï and you learned me directional pruning and a simpler way to do bonsaï than many other channels ;-)
Couple of years ago when I tried to count you tree from your update video from plant room, it was around 150+. Now it is 277. WoW! Hope it will cross 300 soon as there are some empty pots 🙂
278? That makes me feel so much better about my numbers. The running joke among my friends in the bonsai community is that what I lack in quality, I make up for in quantity.
Any info on the construction of the pots type of mix, forms, techniques? I’ve dabbled in concrete pots with fair success but his detail of his forms? is really nice.
Wait till those seedlings grow up and go into pots of their own. Nobody's collection is stable. some plants are born, some plants are given away, some arrive as gifts while others are given away. The bunnies eat some and others just die. Life never stands still. It is always moving and changing. Next year's garden is different from this year's.
That’s a LOT of trees. I have perhaps about 100 but nowhere near as much space to put them. Probably just as well 😆 But 278 is an unusual number - it might be unlucky in China or Japan. Probably round it up to 280 with a couple more. Then you may as well make it up to 300 😄
Do you pot a bonsai that you get from like target or Walmart even if it’s mid summer or do you wait till spring still? Mine is lose in its pot? It’s a jade bonsai tree I think.
It's best to leave the pots out in the rain for a couple of months to help stabilize the ph levels. Some people put them in a small stream to neutralize them. You can use them as is and most trees won't mind, but it's better to wait. You can seal the inside of the pot with paint too.
I've been putting mealworms in my bird-feeder, too. It's supposed to bring in woodpeckers and bluebirds. Of course, since we have a stray with kittens living under a neighbor's shed, the mealworms are just bringing in mockingbirds.
You’re going to need to hire someone to help you take care of them all! I feel like I saw a video of you a few years ago say you have 70 something trees.
There are some trees I have seen you working on not too long ago that I didn't see here. I can only conclude that they must have died. It might be a good Idea for you to do a RIP update or show on the trees that you have shown a lot that for sorme reason have died.
Ah ha ha, that was so much fun! I can’t do a counting video as my wife watches my videos…. 😂🤣
Come on Jay, Jennifer and your boys buy you trees for Father’s Day, Christmas and Birthday. They don’t think you have enough trees.
"You must bite the bullet so they say." - the wise words of Peter Chan 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I'm with you on that one Jay. Lol God forbid the wife ever got a total of mine!!!

How many trees do you have Xavier?
@@TonysBonsai At last count it was approaching 400. Of those probably only 100 are anything near finished bonsai. Its ginkgo today😁
Nice! I have around 250 in pots of which zero are anywhere near finished, and around 70 in the ground
As the old rock stars use to say “ too much ain’t enough” Rock on Nigel. Thanks, keep growing
Wow 278 trees.
That's impressive 👏
Great video 👍👌👏🥰🍁

what a magnificent number! so glad we get to celebrate your collection with you

I really love the trunk on that jade. After that styling, the trunk will look even more imposing when the new small growth.
My husband doesn't want me to feed our outside critters, but they hang around anyway.

Nigel, did you count the trees on the floor of the poly house? Did not see you do that. Congrats on a magnificent collection of healthy, happy trees. Your joy in tending them is infectious….
I was thinking the same. I don't think he did.
Yes same here
That must round up the number to 300. Great collection of course, all the more it is of high quality.
That reminds me to count my trees as well.
Oh man, those bags of worms made my face numb lol
that raccoon is going to be a new resident if you keep feeding it haha
Amazing to have a lot of bonsai tree,,God bless you and your fam,,your great,love it❤💕💞
Oh my goodness! I can't believe you are actually counting them! I afraid to see what becomes of the tree count once you have an accurate picture. I think you are going to come up with a plan to manage the growing inventory. I hope your are inspired to finish the large poly house after this! Fun video Nigel!
Thanks for the count Nigel. Really enjoyed it 😀
The more trees I put in a forest, the less counting I have to do!!
So many trees! No worries of too much leisure, when taking care of them 😊
Pretty kitty 😻 and cutest of bandits
Inspired, I polished the counting finger! 57... so I've got some catching up to do! Benches looking awesome Nigel :)
Oh that was a cute coon!! Awesome video it’s crazy you have 278 trees… maybe I too will have that many one day!!
When I first got into Bonsai I had this image of the ONE perfect bonsai. Perfectly practiced on. Now I want them all. Lol
Well,it is impressive,you are doeing well for those trees,they florish and are thriving! Love the garden and the animals in it,I do recognise is like my own place it could not be any other way. Thanks for sharing!
Oof that's a lot of watering!
I also guessed around 200 but it's closer to 300! Great collection!
278 good lord! Who am i kidding i got a tree coming to my house right now , i mean someone elses house thats going to gift it to me ! 😅😅😅😅😅😅. U went through the first bench and i said well thats more than me . Ha ! Love the videos nigel always relaxing.

Holy guacamole! Honestly. I thought you had more. LOL Still room on the benches...😉😉😄
Very cool I hope I achieve this in one of my days of bonsai very nice collection of Specimens good work !!
Wow that is a lot of trees! Haha and I am guilty of adding to your collection! 😊
I gave one of the Oaks to Jay from Blue Jay Bonsai and Connor wants one too!! They are so nice, thanks!!!
@@TheBonsaiZone great! I have many more (too many!) so if Connor can wait until winter I can send him a few.
Hahahaa.. really enjoy to watch this video..
So many trees, I guess once you start collecting it's hard to stop, you might slowly decrease the rate at which you increase your collection but it never gets to zero.

278! Ha ha ha ha ha! 278 Beautiful Bonsai Trees! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Maybe watching too much children's TV....
Holy smokes that’s a nursery in my book hahaha
You didn't need to count your trees, the number will always be "one too many but not enough" hahaha
Couple of years ago when I tried to count you tree from your update video from plant room, it was around 150+. Now it is 277. WoW! Hope it will cross 300 soon as there are some empty pots 🙂
I'm up to about 40 outdoors, 10 indoors, so probably more like 50 all in, lol!
As my husband says, when i bring home another stack of pots, bunch of plants, or another kitten i found: as long as it makes you happy, honey!
Does your husband have a brother?? 😆
@@katyb2793 ain't we all brothers and sisters in a way?🤣🤣🤣
I asked you that question as well. Thanks Nigel.
I have the trees I have… Let’s just leave it at that.
278? That makes me feel so much better about my numbers. The running joke among my friends in the bonsai community is that what I lack in quality, I make up for in quantity.
Benches on benches on benches. Its benches all the way down! Turtles
Hahahaha that 's coolest video on Bonsai
Any info on the construction of the pots type of mix, forms, techniques? I’ve dabbled in concrete pots with fair success but his detail of his forms? is really nice.

Wow I can't imagine how long it takes to water these! 🤣
Now I've watched it all I've heard you say some were a bit on the dry side 🙈
I just finish watering and then the first trees I watered need it again, lol!!
We only have 11 trees and it seems like a decent amount of work! I cant imagine 200+
278 trees wow!!!! That’s just “none” to many. Hahaha, You will get to 300 soon. Loved this video. Is that a home plate at your door?
If you don't mind what was youre line of work before you started youtubeing full time? Btw i love your wideos!
That’s a LOT of trees. I have perhaps about 100 but nowhere near as much space to put them.
Probably just as well 😆
But 278 is an unusual number - it might be unlucky in China or Japan. Probably round it up to 280 with a couple more. Then you may as well make it up to 300 😄
So easy to accumulate trees. I broke mine up into bonsai trees and pre bonsai. That way it seems like I have less than I actually do. Ha ha.
I hope I can own 10 plants/trees at any one time. I can't even begin to fathom having 278! Lol
Impressive! I only have eight.
Did you count the trees on the poly house floor? 🤣🤣🤣
Wow that's a lot of trees 🌳
Did the poly house ground get counted?
Nigel how do u find time for all those beautiful bonsais?🤯🥵 I'm impressed, great job🙇♂️🔥
Hi Nigel👍🖐are your trees/bonsai collection, the most in Canada ❓
Do you pot a bonsai that you get from like target or Walmart even if it’s mid summer or do you wait till spring still? Mine is lose in its pot? It’s a jade bonsai tree I think.
Yes, tropical trees can be repotted mid summer! Just be sure they don't dry out after the repotting!
Hi. Just a question. Can I use cement pots just as it is or must I use a sealer of some kind on the inside. Thanks.
It's best to leave the pots out in the rain for a couple of months to help stabilize the ph levels. Some people put them in a small stream to neutralize them. You can use them as is and most trees won't mind, but it's better to wait. You can seal the inside of the pot with paint too.
@@TheBonsaiZone Thanks. Nigel its good to know. Like watching your videos
Hi Nigel i saw you still have some trees in poly house down :)
Man thats a lot of trees!
Update on Premma nigel ...?
If you counted the individual trees in the forests you'd have quite a few more. Trees are like guitars though. You can never have too many
I've been putting mealworms in my bird-feeder, too. It's supposed to bring in woodpeckers and bluebirds.
Of course, since we have a stray with kittens living under a neighbor's shed, the mealworms are just bringing in mockingbirds.
Nigel, I notice you dont seem to use wire on your trees. Can you talk about that in an upcoming video?
Here is a video on this!!
ua-cam.com/video/YGhQjOma8gQ/v-deo.html
@@TheBonsaiZone thanks so much!
So nice watching this one ! Btw did you forget counting the plants below , on the ground , in the poly house ?
Those are actually weeds growing from the ground!! I have trimmed them all back now!!
Ok, I do NOT have too many bonsai 😂😂😂
You should plan something special for tree number 300.
Did you forget to count those at floor of the poly greenhouse?
Those are just weeds growing up on the floor, I can't place anything on the floor or the mice will get them!
277 trees SO FAR. are you planing on creating automated watering systems like conor has in his garden?
Now time to count my plants and see how I stack up against the great Nigel Saunders
Scots pune to add now, although I noticed a few walk out on that video so overall less than 278. oh okus the $50 challenge
Yes, I'm sure I'll replace the ones that were given away!!! Thanks Simon!
It's Rocket! Aka "Trash Panda" (No Judgment)
Anyone else notice the first 2 benches he counted had palindromic numbers? :)
:) I am also at 180 currently
Nigel, you didn't count anything on the floor of the poly house 😬
Those are just weeds growing on the floor!!!
Way too many trees. My six is enough
277 Trees are an inpressive number
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Hello nigel
Today, you have 277 ;-)
👍
I'm pretty sure your answer will only stay true for a couple of days XD
Thats cheating you need to count them all not only the pot!! 😂
👍👌🍎🙂
278 🥵 I have just 14 Nigel 🤦♂️ any advice as to how I can slip more past my wife 🤣
You’re going to need to hire someone to help you take care of them all! I feel like I saw a video of you a few years ago say you have 70 something trees.
There are some trees I have seen you working on not too long ago that I didn't see here. I can only conclude that they must have died. It might be a good Idea for you to do a RIP update or show on the trees that you have shown a lot that for sorme reason have died.
