I love these videos that include the history of the pruning and growth. 👍😍
I am going to echo the other folks here by saying I love these videos where we can see the development of the tree over time. You produce a wild amount of content that can be overwhelming to go through as a newer subscriber. These are going to be the most valuable videos on your channel for me.
Hey Nigel, this is my first comment on one of your videos. I've been watching your channel for years now and I just wanna say thank you. You've been a huge inspiration and a major guide throughout my bonsai journey. I started bonsai back when I was 12 and I'm going on 16 now. I remember your first video I watched was "Keeping a Bonsai Tree Small". Was hooked ever since.
All the best for 2024,
Lewis.
Nigel thank you so much for making this. This is so incredibly inspiring. This is an excellent video that showcases that with patience and perseverance a person can make an incredible bonsai. I can't tell you the amount of times i've dug through the playlist on this lemon tree looking for help when it comes to taking care of my lemon tree bonsai. This is amazing.
Love this video showing all the history
It's really a nice idea to show these compilations of your trees through the years.
What an inspiration! I love these videos you're compiling that show the history!
I'm really enjoying this Tree History series. Seeing the yearly progressions compressed into 1 viewing really highlights the evolution a tree can go through year after year. Really give me hope for my trees.
What a History has this tree!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I like it very much, this format of timeline videos, thank you✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Great episode. I love how you are showing more history. Been thinking about doing more of that too.
Nice trip down memory lane with your tree. Pruning explanations, easy to understand. Superb video!
this is as much about you growing as a UA-camr 💚
Always nice to hear the new season's ending song, each time it's familiar with a fresh ring to it!
I love citrus trees and the history of yours in one video!
2017 was safer than today. No zombie apocalypse that year 😉
Thanks!!!
This must be the best video to help understand what it takes to make a bonsai lemon tree! Thank you so much for keeping track and explaining every step!
Glad it was helpful!
Really enjoyed the video Nigel, what a journey, the tree's really looking good ! Where has the last decade gone!
Thanks J, I hope to see you in the new year, you have been missed!!!
Your past videos inspired me to start a lemon tree bonsai from a cutting. Your tree is fantastic! Thank you for making these videos!!
I did that last year. Found rooted cuttings in a 8 by 8 cm plastic pot and let it grow on the balcony all summer and cut it down for indoor winter.
I am in love with citrus trees, have a bigger calamondin that was covered in flowers this summer and when the outdoor air heat up during the days it smells like heaven.
Also predictive trees that reacts like you think they would when work on them. No big problems with insects beside scales to look for. Grow like crazy when happy like shows in Nigel’s videos.
Lemon trees has the nastiest thorns of the citrus family and they draw blood sometimes.
My calamondin have barley any thorns just rounded intends bulge out, that is great shows me there it is a dormant bud with out I need plasters after pruning.
“I’m after a more natural look”.
This is why I love your videos. I swear, your trees look more “real” than anyone else’s on the internets and I really appreciate and admire your approach to getting there.
I always thought that trees need more earth in the pot to have this beautiful leaves, I never knew that you could grow it in such a way. Thank you.😊
So enjoy your projects, thoughts and philosophy...Thanks for sharing Nigel...
These compilations are awesome. A youtube breakthrough ❤
Hi Nigel. Love your expertise. If only the tables were turned and the trees that get their roots combed out, could return the favor, ha!
Some trunks are so big they can look unnatural. I think the lemon tree looks quite elegant. Sometimes less is more!
We also had some snow these days. It was pretty chilly recently, but mostly dry. Now finally some snow. I think that's a bit safer for the trees than the dry freezing temperatures.
Nice new jingle 🎵 I wish you and your trees all the best for 2024!
Your lemon tree is looking sharp as ever! thanks for the update.
Wow! These Time travel videos are fascinating! They sure are eye openers! Like, how did it survive that! And oh that's how the trunk became what it is! So cool! Thanks Nigel!
Great work Nigel! You have a fantastic eye for the art of bonzai.
Love the videos,thoroughly entertaining❤💜💎💎
Many thanks!!!
"Gotta keep em separated" I caught that The Offspring reference:). awesome
You know it!
Your lemon tree is beautiful. Congratulation
I'm joying the progression! I'll be on the lookout for one of these!
Such a wonderful presentation, incredible to see the progress of the tree. Also I look forward to seeing how you prune the Cedar hedge trees! Happy New Years Nigel!
I like the hen, when I was a boy I played a lot with the hens of my grandparents, I personally find they are great creatures. May the Lord bless and keep you.
Tree's looking great Nigel 👍🌳
I sure do miss the Canada arm
New outro music is SICK!!! Love it. Lemon tree lookin great as well!
Thanks Clint, a bit more jazzy!!
I remember watching this video when it first came out. It inspired me to do the same with my two lemon trees. Unfortunately - they had toher plans and laast year decided to meet their maker :) Great start to the New Year - all the best for 2024.
Im watching from the end of 2014 ,the Lemon tree was the first Bonsai video i ever watched ! Grazy prunning 😆
Happy Bonsai Zone 2024 🎉
Nigel, I have seen many bonsai trees, but, your larch bonsai forest is one of my favorite.
Starting the year with a Nigel video, that's so exciting
quite a journey, it is looking amazing now
Sweet video!! Very awesome tree! I’m so jealous of your snow. We haven’t had very much at all. Only enough to dust the windshields.
I think I’m at stage 2014 with my lemon. So many lessons from this series. The history was fun (though I think I know each video in this tree by heart already, hehe)
That is awesome! Grow tree grow!!
Happy New Year Nigel! I also felt like that lowest branch is kind of funny and I think the tree looks much better without it. Thank you for making these videos and showing us the progress you can make when you approach something with patience and love.
Happy new year! Thanks!!!
Hi Nigel. Happy New Year. Great looking back at your lemon tree. It looks great now (that lowest branch always bothered me too). Subtle but noticeable changes to The Bonsai Zone theme song. Nice
Beautiful 🤩 .. congrats 🎈 happy for your trees 🌲
OMG I love the chicken xD
Wow I remember every video, nigel and your still using the same pruning shears ,your videos have been a inspiration to me and I have learned a lot from them thank you so much 😊
I am totally fine with a lemon tree that haven’t a trunk as an old narly olive tree.
The lemon trees I have seen on pictures from the wild look like slender and rather feminine trees.
OMG it past so much time, I'm one of subscriber's since 2017 from this tree ]]]] Good job Nigel.
Nice first episode to a new Season Nigel. Lemon tree looks better each time.
Wow I'm blown away. I thought Meyer lemon trees were divas. Mine is 3 years old grown from seed and I'm scared to prune it lol It's so finicky.
1 minute 37. I used to think those pruners were so cool! I had to get a pair just like them. Tho mine don’t have the cool leather handles.
i have 3 lemon trees i planted from see... doing this with one of them so awesome thx
Un trabajo muy laborioso y complicado en un árbol con mucha historia. Gracias por sus enseñanzas.
Nice job on the new edition of your theme song!!!
A great video, and as always great work.
Nice flashback thanks Nigel
Happy New Year and new season
Fantastic! Like videos with history
Looking good
Happy New Year Nigel and to all the bonsai family.
36:09 i thought you said, "i think i need to elemonade that branch" 😂

Hello nigel ,,happy new year 2024
Very nice, happy new year 👍🙏
Happy new year Mr Saunders
Your pruning techniques are awesome, tree looks really beautiful after pruning. Happy New Year 2024
Happy new Year Nigel
👍👌👌
Wow! What a progression………. of your hair styles, lol! Jk……
That is a fantastic looking lemon tree!! Is it a standard Meyer lemon or a hybrid of some sort?
I have an “improved” Meyer lemon tree that will slowly be turned into a bonsai. Thank you, Nigel, for sharing your experience and knowledge! I value your approach to bonsai!
Have a great springtime, friend!!!
I'm not sure of the Lemon type, it was given to me with no information, best of luck with your tree!!!
С новым годом Найджел! Очень интересная работа с лимоном. Приятно видеть увлеченного человека и любящего свою работу. Здоровья и долголетия Вам, вдохновения и интузиазма в Ваших работах по бонсай. 👏👏👏
My lemon bonsai is so beautiful. Thank you Nigel !!
Lol I've forgotten about the soda bottle watering caps!!!
The big question. Will you get any sapsicles from any maples when you take your walk in the woods? Would be cool.
This reminds me: What ever happened to your iconic golden pruners?!
I learned so much from this video! I am trying to bonsai a lime tree and the vertical growth has had me stumped. I have been clipping off the spines but I see you don't do that. Is there an advantage one way or the other? I live in a semi-tropical climate so I have growth all year long.
Nice Video lap and can I use homemade compost on my blood orange tree that is now wintering above 16 degrees Celsius !
lovely i am growing my little lemon tree from seed also i tried the forming the structure from the beginning by holding it the way i want ... i will not prune it yet because its just one year old
Happy growing!!!
Foist?
Yes! 🍪
Hi, very good video, a question for you. Do you use any grow lights in your basement for your tropical trees?
Yes, I have some inexpensive LED shop lights above the benches!
Could you please do an update on the poinsettia ?
Nigel - I wonder if the fir bark has anything to do with the yellowing of the leaves, potentially absorbing nitrogen and other nutrients. Just a thought!
Don't you ever get any sap sucking insects on your fruit trees? How often do you spray them with soapy water and do ou ever use anything else to get rid of unwanted insects or pest Great video by the way Nigel. From Québec, cheers!
I've just been using soap and water, but the mealy bugs need some alcohol mixed in I think!
Taking notes, thanks!
Just by looking at the color of the leaves on thiis tree. I would say you have something not quite right with the roots or the soil maybe even a nutrient deficiency.
why does the lemon not fruit ??
Those bulges are charming and make it unique and maybe they smooth out some in future as well.😀 It is not that unnatural either as some trees like Linden, oaks etc can have strange bulges that make them special.
I think you accidentally manifested it
