Nigel, Thanks for hosting us and spending so much time with us giving us the tour. I planted my acorns today. Small leaves, small leaves, small leaves. I will remember “to get out of that Baby the duck’s way. Thank you again.
The Garden so great my friend....all is old tree and you know..i could read the historychal for all the plant , from the root the branch,,and the crown..it is telling a stories all the plant at the garden..
That's a lot of acorns planted. With the amount of seeds you germinate each year you could start your own nursery in the backyard. :) I also enjoy germinating seeds. That desert rose is very nice. I hope it recovers soon.
That batch of bonsai soil is quickly being put to good use! I have a feeling that you may be gifting Royal Oak surplus seedlings for a few years hahaha
If you can find a flight canary cage, you can place the acorns in the cage and the squirrels will not be able to get to them. Once separated from the nut, then bring them out. I bet you could make a nice cage out of chicken wire also.
Oooooh 😮 so many acorns! I'll definitely do the same tho, i lost too many of my young oaks to spider mites. I have probably only 3 living from the 19 that sprouted in January. The squirrel will thank you for the dish 😁
Thanks Nigel - loved the Alien reference, “stop your grinnin and drop your linen” lol. I’m heading to Sherwood Forest this week im going to see if they will let me have some of the acorns from the major oak. By the way the soil mix looks awesome im loving it!!
Love the desert rose that Jay gave to you. It is a rare color for that plant so take good care of it. There are a few nurseries in south Florida that produce many hybrid varieties of adeniums. So many beautiful colors other than pink/white flowered. The deep purple flowers are prized down here. May this plant thrive under your care. Nice looking little ming aralia! How nice to see that those acorns have germinated. I have a few Chinese Wisteria that have germinated and will get potted today. I use the root maker pots for cuttings. They work fine with potting soil. I have found that the cuttings grow roots more quickly using these pots.
The next thing to 3D print is that Squirrel now.... One of those oak trees needs him... How often do you go to space to scream in frustration? Hahaha! I love it! Also, your new Adenium looks like an upside down heart!!
I love desert rose bonsai. I have over 50 of them in my living room under grow lights for the winter. Not sure if they will hold their leafs all winter and keep growing but if they do it will be great.
Wwwow that is a lot of acorns! But none of them are Pyrenean oaks 😉 so I will send you a few of these seedlings as soon as the leaves drop. Just starting to turn yellow now, autumn seems to have come late this year. I'll also send you a couple of holm oak seedlings.. of course these are evergreen so fingers crossed they survive the journey.
I got lucky with my oak acorn I grew over the winter. It had stopped growing in March and didn’t do anything through the first half of summer, so I thought it was just waiting for winter. Then in late July it went through a crazy growth spurt and went from about half a dozen leaves to almost 30 leaves. I think I lucked out and got a genetically vigorous tree. It’s leaves haven’t turned yet, but the new growth has been hardened off since September.
If you accept a suggestion I recommend you cutting the tap root 2 times before new leafs sprout to developer a radial structure. The first one you have to wait a little longer that the stage your acorns are right now so little roots have time to develop on the base of the taproot. The second cut is a bit trickier on the timing so you have to dig up the acorn (No leafs yet) and see it by yourself. That doesn’t bother the roots. Normally in that second cut you will see that it develop another tap root that take over the energy supplied by the acorn, cut it and refine the other roots near the base of the acorn. The next spring when the plant sprout won’t growth too much during the season but the root system is nearly perfect for future life of the bonsai. Cheers and excuse my english 😅
I wish I could tell you earliery about the cashews they are from very warm tropical zones, they probably cant handle lower than 15 celsius, hope they survive
Hi Nigel, I don't want to disappoint you I have all colors of Adenium but in time they get back their original pink color becouse there is not enaugh light in Europe and I think Kanada Is even worse on it. But I like her it is nice and fat ))) but you have to water her in summertime more you don't water your suculents so much and she need watering like normal tree. GL with her. I hope I'll see her in videos.
what a wonderful addenium! i love mine, which is much smaller(!), especially given that i nearly killed it a few times. but now we get along just fine. fyi, if you search the internet for acorn varieties, there are lots of varietal picture maps to help you identify them. apparently, there are people who just collect acorns for display. thanks for a really interesting video Nigel!
Thanks for your great videos! I love the adenium - they have beautiful colours in their flowers. I wonder how it is that you've got new growth on trees and acorns shooting, when you're coming into the winter?
Nigel, That is a fantastic adenium. Did they say how old it is? I keep my adeniums on my basement entry steps. Not real warm and not real bright then put them back outside in the spring when it gets above 40 degrees F and no more frost. I don't water them over the winter and your trunk looks plenty full of water for the winter. Good luck with it. I would like to have a few of those acorns too!! Great video.
hi Nigel, I'm from the Philippines, a fan of yours. Haven't you tried making a bonsai out of premna specie especially premna microphylla? I think you should try it. I have a couple of them at home. And I love how its leaves gets tiny and tiny from pruning after pruning. And I thank you for your patience and determination. I really appreciate that.☺️
Hi Nigel, I find it interesting that your local royal oak was bearing heavy this year. The native royal and sessile oaks in my area weren't bearing any fruit at all this year and I couldn't find a single acorn in the forest near my home. I enjoyed the rest of the video very much as well, cheers from Germany
I'm not from Europe so I may be mistaken, but don't oak trees have something called mast years, where all the trees in an area don't bear fruit for several years before suddenly bearing a lot all together?
@@JScarper Yes you are correct on that, but as far as I understand in between those years of excessive fruit production are years of acceptable but way lower production. What baffled me this year is the total absence of acorns across at least two species of oak in my area. A possible cause could be that we hit a record winter low this year, followed by a cool spring and summer.
Ingel, at 2:10 i saw the First Ficus and it dawned on me that you could make a vacuum mold out of the pot and try to cast it in cement, puting some steel rods to strengthen it. it could be a solution for the 3D printed big pots
That Delonix regia looked really sad. I have one rooted trough the drainage holes into the ground that grew to 2 m in less than a year from seed. But yeah, in my climate they can grow incredibly fast so easy for me to say. Have you tried the dwarf Ming aralia 'snowflake'? They make excellent Bonsai and are also extremely easy to propagate trough cuttings.
european oaks germinate in the fall and overwinter under the leaflitter then start growing the next spring you should try to put some outside with rodentsecurity
For some reason the squirrels didn't dug up my acorns, even if they stole my ginkgo seeds amongst many others. 🙄 Well, at least I have three healthy oak seedlings and some random tree, can't tell which one it is since the magpies took the name tags away...
I'd reeeeally like to plant oaks at home but i don't think most of them can handle the Brazilian heat :/ and i can't for the life of me find acorns to germinate
"In space no one can hear you scream" How do you think light moves in space? Is sound cannot move from it's source to the observer, how can light? The two (light and sound) are both two aspects of the same (electro magnetiic spectrum).
Well about that. Light is bought particle and wave. Particles of light are called fotons. Sound on the other hand (is not electromagnetic wave) it’s mechanical wave. Particles of medium you’re in are conductors for sound wave. In space density of matter is so small, there is no sound. If you want to know more I reckomend Kyle Hill channel. He does everything science related.
@@Thimbrethil Religion ;) No experiment EVER has proven light is a particle and it's against all logic. Sound is light is heat. All parts of the same spectrum. One is what the others are. Do you actually BELIEVE (as in religion) particles are coming out of your monitor and hits you in the eyes as you watch this video? Do you not realize how ridiculous that notion is? If you ad energy to an object it will first heat up, and as you increase the level it will then start to make a sound and then it will start to emit light. I think you should go look at the electromagnetic spectrum again and ask yourself; why is only a small part of it particles while the rest is (just) waves...
@@operationaltactics1006 I don't need to believe, when I know.You need to get deeper into physics than just look at one simplified graph, you know. Anyway, I don't want to get into a quarrel with you, on this nice channel, where we all came to relax. I will go leaving behind just two questions: 1. If light is the same thing as sound, why vacuum windows silence up all outside, on in side noises, but let light through the vacuum between sheets of glass? 2. If light works the same way as sound, and we receive light from the Sun, why we don't get any sounds from it? Believe me, distance, when you have so massive object as the Sun, constantly fusing atoms, is no problem, just as it is not for light. In other ways, if what you're saying is true, we should be able hear Sun perfectly. But you don't have to ponder on this matter, if you don't want, you know. Simple answers are simple, and not thinking and asking questions is perfectly okay, and fine. We live in, mostly free world, and we all have right to choose not to be educated. With love

Thanks Derrick, It was great having you over and thanks again for the cutting!
These two Bonsai are very popular gifts for promotion in AsiaSo nice to see so many Oaks on the way❤❤
Thanks Cherie!!
The Garden so great my friend....all is old tree and you know..i could read the historychal for all the plant , from the root the branch,,and the crown..it is telling a stories all the plant at the garden..
Nigel that space comment came out of nowhere and just like that it was gone lol

That desert rose is very nice. I hope it recovers soon.
"In space, no one will hear you scream."
(fills root pots) 😂
Lmao i was searching in the comments for this
Yup. That squirrel is saying "Heck, Nigel, what do you need 58 acorns for? Gimme a couple?" Lol. Looking forward to seeing the sprouts.
Yes, I'm worse than the squirrels!!
Super trunk on the Adenium. Really cool.
Good luck. Making use of all those. I planted a bunch of acorns a few years ago. They all came up
That batch of bonsai soil is quickly being put to good use! I have a feeling that you may be gifting Royal Oak surplus seedlings for a few years hahaha
If you can find a flight canary cage, you can place the acorns in the cage and the squirrels will not be able to get to them. Once separated from the nut, then bring them out. I bet you could make a nice cage out of chicken wire also.
You will have a nice Forrest of oaks there Nigel nice to be using British oaks the Queen will be happy ...

Oaks reminds me when I lived in Paso Robles California
Nigel: "I have to many trees!"
Also Nigel: "More trees!"
That will be a huge oak forest! I have that plan too. Let's hope I can make them sprout here in Brazil!
if you put the acorns on your fence for the squirrels today, they will come to the same spot tomorrow to look for more, its better to not feed them

Thanks Pat, very interesting, I'll take good care of it!
Thank you for your content. I enjoy watching your videos. Little funny sideboard: I also enjoy to see your hairstyle evolving.
My crazy hair, I'm sure I'll get it cut some day!!!!???
@@TheBonsaiZone I would be disappointed.
The next thing to 3D print is that Squirrel now.... One of those oak trees needs him... How often do you go to space to scream in frustration? Hahaha! I love it! Also, your new Adenium looks like an upside down heart!!
You have some quality trees man!

Thanks J!!!
Hi Nigel, I have an English oak that looks to be about the same age as your two. looking forward to following along on the progression. Thanks!
I wish I could tell you earliery about the cashews they are from very warm tropical zones, they probably cant handle lower than 15 celsius, hope they survive
Beautiful 👌
with so many oaks on the go now... maybe you could try a fusion with a dozen or so of these acorns when they sprout?
Hi Nigel, I don't want to disappoint you I have all colors of Adenium but in time they get back their original pink color becouse there is not enaugh light in Europe and I think Kanada Is even worse on it.

Nice. I to have one. Planning to make a thai style cement pot for mine when its starting to take shape
Thanks for your great videos! I love the adenium - they have beautiful colours in their flowers.

The oak you are wondering about is a Burr Oak. Canadian tire has some in their garden center here .
Waiting nigel...🙂
Have you got room at the community garden for a small oak forest?
it's soo thick
Wow Nigel what’s the plan with all those acorns I can see a Forrest coming up
the second acorns you sowed look like Bur oak acorns. large acorns, caps, and good bark on trees
Thanks Tom, I checked some pictures and that does look like the parent tree!!
Ingel, at 2:10 i saw the First Ficus and it dawned on me that you could make a vacuum mold out of the pot and try to cast it in cement, puting some steel rods to strengthen it. it could be a solution for the 3D printed big pots
That would be cool!!
Hi Nigel, where do you get your bonsai soil? Thanks!
In what kind of soil would you plant chestnuts?
Good
That Delonix regia looked really sad. I have one rooted trough the drainage holes into the ground that grew to 2 m in less than a year from seed.

nice afro
👌👌👌...!!!
I once tried to germinate Royal oak seeds... the squirrels cleaned them out in under 24 hours.
Yes, I left a seed tray out and the next morning everything was gone, even the ones that were growing!
very cool, Nigel. Question: how come you havent got into Japanese Maple bonsai?
Every Japanese Maple I get eventually gets boring insects attacking the trunk and they die. I've given up on the species for my area.
Nigel, I need updates on your ming aralia.
It is doing well!! I'll try and get an update soon!!
Will you be working on your Porsche next year after Winters Nigel?
european oaks germinate in the fall and overwinter under the leaflitter then start growing the next spring you should try to put some outside with rodentsecurity
Thanks Timo!!
If I am not mistaken that last acorn is from a Mediterranean owk, we have meny of those in Israel
How did the leaves of that owk look like?
What is your country ?
I'm in Ontario Canada.
Young cashews tolerate temperatures as low as 7°c. Older trees survive 0°c for a very short time.
For some reason the squirrels didn't dug up my acorns, even if they stole my ginkgo seeds amongst many others. 🙄 Well, at least I have three healthy oak seedlings and some random tree, can't tell which one it is since the magpies took the name tags away...
I'd reeeeally like to plant oaks at home but i don't think most of them can handle the Brazilian heat :/ and i can't for the life of me find acorns to germinate
LIKE
Are squirrels the only animals doing that ?
actually Cashews are native of Brazil's northeast litoral region and the average temperature year round is 25C so never let it go bellow 15 C
Thanks Antonio, great information!
👍🍎
👍👍😬
Nice Foist Quinn!!
You should consider pruning your hair as well
Thanks!
Slacker FOIST
