14:50 "... a stick in a pot ..." Welcome to my world. I have about six sticks in pots on my front porch that I've been talking to each day, encouraging them to do *something*.
I like the nightshade theme music. mynsister-in-love, who really dislikes dirt, dug up a maple seeding from her yard to give me yesterday. the bog forest is still my favorite.
It has ribs inside that prevent roots from circling around the pot. The ribs direct the roots to a hole that then air dries the root tip and creates more root division inside the pot. It's similar to growing the tree in a colander, but it guides the roots better.
Does Canada have the same issues with Dutch Elm disease and Emerald Ash Borers as the US? I would assume so. I live in Wisconsin and both the elms and the ashes have been basically knocked out completely.
I love oaks but where i live we get cool winters and in nature oaks have deep roots in a frost free level and when i keep em in pots i get cold roots so my oaks are the only trees i need to protect in winter
Always love gettin into the roots with you, brother. Very satisfying. Hey, I notice you are slow to get your spruce out of soil and into substrate. Is this just a timing issue? Or is there a particular reason you keep them in soil? Great updates all around! Looks like you navigated spring better in your area than many others on YT in your region.
If you had a big refrigerator to keep it in over winter. They need to go through a cold dormant type of period. Maybe if your friends with someone with a walk in cooler. Local offsale or meat processing plant.🤷♂️ probably best to just get a Ficus and name it “Maple”. Oh, our Mable.👍😉
@@danbehrens1621 wow what a solution 😂😂😂......... Both of them are hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 can't Stop laughing after reading the second solution. I'll apply second solution and will give one of my ficus Rumphii bonsai Maple name until I buy a four door refrigerator. If I use our medium size refrigerator my mom will expell me from house 😂
Hi Nigel great video as always! Could you maybe do a little shout-out to the channel GrowingBonsai? It's a small channel from a guy named Jelle in Germany. There aren't that many good channels from Western European growers and his content is great. Sadly he doesn't get as much viewers as he should. Thanks :)
Bench envy at the highest level. Thanks, keep growing
Appreciate it Matt!
Japanese Maples, Junipers etc. are fantastic, but Bonsai with native trees is wonderful, too. I hope everything will be healthy and thrive!
Awesome video! That Eiffel tower got me giggling again. Nice update tour.
Great Spring Tour. Hello to -temporarily- little Seqüoiah Trees!
Thanks Sophia!!! I think they will grow well this year!!
I enjoy all your videos
Great updates! 👍

Sticks become beautiful trees eventually!!!
@@TheBonsaiZone I live in hope.
Awesome update!! It’s getting exciting to have things explode with growth!! Totally looking forward to this summer it’s going to be awesome!!
Thanks Aaron, summer is a great time for bonsai!!
So much green! Love it!
Thank you! Cheers!
These are some awesome new trees Nigel your friend from the trail has a good taste in trees !!
Thanks 👍 I was lucky to bump into him on the trail!!
The air in that IBC will be getting warm in that sunny weather man
When the tree comes out into leaf, it will be in the shade for the summer!

Awesome Diana, those maple seedlings are great trees to learn techniques on and they can even become nice bonsai as they mature!!
190k! So close to 200!!!
Thanks K, it's great to see so many people interested in bonsai!!!
Nigel I notice the nightshade is getting the French lilac music haha
I hope your lychee grows!
The Lychee has adapted to the outdoors well so far!! We'll see how it does this year!
Looks like Sam D was over for a visit ;-) with the random mt’s on the bench.
Lol, it's just soda water for me!!
thank you
You are most welcome!!
Litchi is one of my favourite fruit
A great tasting fruit!!
@@TheBonsaiZone indeed
im starting to like maples. why is it called a root maker pot
It has ribs inside that prevent roots from circling around the pot. The ribs direct the roots to a hole that then air dries the root tip and creates more root division inside the pot. It's similar to growing the tree in a colander, but it guides the roots better.
Does Canada have the same issues with Dutch Elm disease and Emerald Ash Borers as the US? I would assume so. I live in Wisconsin and both the elms and the ashes have been basically knocked out completely.
Yes, both species are very rare now.
@@TheBonsaiZone Such a shame really. I love both of those genus. They look absolutely beautiful as adult trees!
I love oaks but where i live we get cool winters and in nature oaks have deep roots in a frost free level and when i keep em in pots i get cold roots so my oaks are the only trees i need to protect in winter
Good thinking Anders, yes I think they need good protection in winter!!
Always love gettin into the roots with you, brother. Very satisfying.

Great updates all around! Looks like you navigated spring better in your area than many others on YT in your region.
I'm just way behind on repotting, some will have to wait until next spring! Thanks Yeti!!
👍👌👌🍎
Thanks Bruce!!!
Will Maple 🍁 tree survive in tropical environment of India ????? I wanna grow it as bonsai

You could get out the scissors and prune your Ficus leaves into maple leaf shapes!! It would probably fool people!
@@TheBonsaiZone 🤣🤣🤣🤣 best advice ever get in my live 🙏🙏😂
I have blue oaks and valley oaks but not in bonsai since they look weird all skinny linky trunk with no texture
Yes, some Oaks keep their bark very smooth even as they grow old!
