Thank you Jarren!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Spruce up your bonsai!

[@jballenger9240]

LOL😅

[@mattbrennan647]

You’ve got the nicest looking Alberta spruce I’ve seen. Many try with Christmas specials but very few accomplish what you have. Great informative video. Thanks, keep growing

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you Matt, much appreciated!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Fantastic and informative video Jerome! 👍 Organic fertilizer looks good, congrats on the upcoming release! 🐦💙

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you brother!

[@ArendvanWerven]

Perfect format. Would love to see at least a hundred more species treated like this. Very informative. Loved it!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you 🙏

[@Ba.Bonsai]

Im a beginner and started last year to learn about Bonsai. This was one of the best, most straightforward and useful content I have ever watched on Utube, Thanks a lot 👍👍👍👍❤

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@raymondplodzien7459]

Great information that is new to me about spruces. Thank you Jerome!

[@juusoblomqvist363]

I think it's worthwhile to mention that the Old Tjikko spruce is a clonal tree. The main trunk shown in the picture is not 9500 years old, it's the estimated age of the clonal tree.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

That’s true, the trunk itself is only a few hundred years old but the root system is that old from what I understand.

[@steveanacorteswa3979]

Thanks for the video, I have a lot of DAS and a forest made with 7 of them, I love working with them because of the smell, they don't take to wiring very well, it just takes time and a combo of cut and grow.

[@sagebonsai]

Oh that new fertilizer you created will be perfect for my line of sagebrush, I'd be happy to buy some when it comes available, and give ya further feedback on how well it works.

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Great information, the Alberta spruce is such an abundant species to grow. I appreciate in depth video about it as I have few of them in my care.
Do you grow any boxwood in your area? Would love to see a video on them

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you for your nice response. Unfortunately I have no experience with Boxwood. 😢

[@MrPirreE]

I am a swedish guy and want to clarify a thing about that famous Swedish spruce that are genetically thousand years old.
The actual tree are not that old because it get victim to the elements like all tree. But the root stock seams like never give up and push out new to replace the old knocked down ones.
Just like Aspens do there a whole hill can be filled of generic clones from same root system and that roots system can be very old tho the part over ground is very shorted lived, kind of same system as mushrooms.

[@natedykstra1498]

Great video. I hope you do more of these species tutorials!

[@baldyeti]

Brother, I’m subscribed to you but somehow missed this video.
Great information on the care, and thank you for being honest about keeping them in the ground if you want size/girth. I really dig the style you took yours in last year and it’s looking great! I’m diggin it, Brother (and Sister)

[@OjaiBonsai]

We have our spruce a little bigger than that and we have used it for our Xmas tree the last 4 years.

[@carlbrock330]

Jerome I would like to see you do a video on the Ginkgo

[@getintothewildwithjeffruma8777]

Great video as always and beautiful tree. Can you give an update on your Desert rose trees this spring please?

[@michaelcowart6100]

At pruning time in spring, do you prune back to visible dormant buds to reduce the branch length?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Yes, you can also cut the branch to non buds as long as there are needles it will resprout.

[@mattbrennan647]

Foist

[@MarkH0388]

When will you be doing an update on your bald cypress?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

As soon as there is an update to make 😁

[@bassman6211]

Are the seedlings sensitive to sun? I propagated some seeds and they're currently about 35 cm tall. I'm just curious on how to give them the best chance at being happy healthy trees one day. Thank you

[@johnrhain3948]

Perhaps trident maples…?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Good idea John 💡

[@garinknutson6467]

I noticed most fertilizers for pines have much higher NPK levels. Is that because they are not for bonsai specific tree?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

So generally for conifers we use lower npk and organic

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂

[@darrel7382]

Your hardiness zone information doesn't help people from countries other than the USA. Please add specific climate information for your viewers who live in the 190 or so countries who have no idea what you are talking about. Other than that, I love your work mate👍

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

What are you using in your country instead of Hardiness Zones, I thought that was universal?

[@darrel7382]

@WeareTheBonsaiSupply we use terms like temperate, arid, tropical, etc. I believe countries other than the USA does use numbers, but they don't necessarily equate to your numbers. Perhaps you could include minimum and maximum temperatures in degrees Celcius for your international viewers.

[@bigbrobunny]

Spruces are double flush....

[@JungleScene]

I live in zone 8 near vancouver and we can keep spruce here too. Especially sitka spruce which is endemic along the west coast.
