Pruning My Bald Cypress and Ficus benjamina, The Bonsai Zone, June 2024

I'm pruning my Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) down to a single trunk line and I also prune my Ficus benjamina, root over temple planting to tidy up the new growth.
I show some bonsai updates too!

Bald cypress are such resilient trees and recover from hard pruning, it won't be a stick in a pot in a few years.

[@barebones7399]

Love seeing your updates on how you trees are doing after all the work you do on them

[@snylilith]

Oooh, the forest looks so realistic now! Absolutely georgus!

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

The FB is the coolest. Very nice looking tree and nice work pruning it. Great updates. Looking good.

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

Everything looks so lush! Half my trees are still in the house. There isn't enough room in the trailer and still too cold at night to put them outside. That blood tree, sure is a beauty. That was a pretty cool malfunction Nigel! Sounded like you were talking to us from the Space station!!

[@andrecosterus]

The jade with the pink is a variegated form of Crassula sarmentosa. Thanks for the updates!

[@dreamingofbonsai]

Great prunes! Pruning for the future on that now very bald cypress. 😅 Love the garden tour as well! It’s all looking good.

I appreciated that rain too gave me an excuse not to mow

[@angieb6899]

Nice updates Nigel 👩🏻‍🌾🪴

I hope you can help me decide what to do with some deciduous trees that have had a hard time with the fluctuations in weather. Unfortunately I don’t have a greenhouse to winter them over. The trees, mostly maples started to bud out then we had a cold snap and they never did anything. The bark is still green underneath. Are they a lost cause with no leaves to regenerate the roots.

BC not a stick in a pot but a tree ready to grow into a swan.

[@hsvfanjan17]

Hope the microphone recovered from the humidity! Do you use the in-built one from the camera or do you attach an external one?

[@HansWeberHimself]

Philosophical question: Is it an aerial root if it grows in soil to be exposed later?

[@Ficusforev]

I would say yes

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Maybe a future aerial root would be the correct term!!! Thanks Hans!

[@dkstott29]

Very nice. How is your too little ficus doing??

[@user-hy2um7om1f]

your french lilac does not look like it is doing well. what happened ?

[@dahlmasen3084]

What’s the tree beside the acacias? On the white barrel with a huge trunk

[@zzorz1023]

A ponytail palm, which has a playlist. It's gone through some changes over the years for sure.

[@dahlmasen3084]
