  • I'm pruning my Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) on the shortest day of the year!
    I'm also giving my Grey Bark Elm (Zelkova) a winter prune before the growing season comes.

    Are you perhaps hinting that Stripey will stay with you? That would be nice. Big Cut coming up for him. But it is for the better in the future.

      @@TheBonsaiZone Actually you should name one cat Big Cut. When a stranger would ask what's the name of your cat, you would say Big Cut. The other person would go: "Big Cat?" You: "No, Big Cut. Big cuts are a family thing here."

    I keep eyeing my Norfolk pine forest up also knowing it needs work - but unsure of what to do with it. I have not found they back bud. And similar to yours mine have thick over grown tops and drop lower branches. I think I’m just going to have to make some big chops and see what it does!

    Thanks Nigel! Great video. Been waiting to see that zelkova, you make your choices so quickly and smoothly it's amazing. Those zelkova get out of control quickly I've learned 😂. Forest is looking great as always too.

  • @growclipbonsaiforseniors1951

    Elm should develop into a nice looking tree come spring. Great video as always.

    I'm always watching for your Norfolk forest! I did hard prune, topping my huge trees, I'll have an update on those later. I'm hoping for success as you seem to have. Those kitties are very well adjusted and trust you. Well done with that rescue! Merry Christmas Nigel!

    Norfolks and Palm trees are like growing onions ... they don’t back bud. They often die from leader pruning, too. ( ask me how I know )... good luck, sir.
