Thanx for the vid Xav, you’ve given me the oomph to tackle repotting my Azara raft which has been steadily climbing out of its tray all year! Travelling mercies for your Orkney Odyssey, God bless you 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️
Lovely video Xav I’ve always wanted a chojubai definitely on my list for my collection You’re always so busy in your garden Must be a blessing and a curse😆 I see the greenhouse is under way good for you mate utilise that space Take care👊🏻
Thanks for the hands on videos. The potting mix here is generally the same; fine particles that stay wet and don't get any air to the roots. I'm sure your trees will appreciate the nice gritty soil.
That Harry fellow taught me a few tips as well. Hehe I’m diggin your quince, good sir. Very intrigued by the late season root work. Not crapping on it by any means, just intrigued. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 you’ll have an update for us come spring
This time I agree with the comments you’ve got up to now: Lovley 😍 Myself to tired today to be eloquent or even creative. 😂 Thanks for sharing, Xavier. 😘 All the best, cheers 🙋♀️ Martina
Japanese Quince are very challenging for bonsai, there's only one way to get them to pop secondaries so it takes a lot longer to build a decent bonsai.
Nice video, Xav! I look forward to seeing these trees flour. I was gifted a couple of Quince last spring, and they have grown on very well. I donknow if mine are Japanese or not but their flowers are gorgeous. Cheers!
You are right about the flowers - mine bloomed twice within the year. I am still getting to grips with how these respond to my clumsy efforts. So it should be a fun journey :)
Cool snack for later! Those trees look good, they will do much better in the new soil! I wish I could afford the better soil, but not quite yet unfortunately.
I admire your spirit of adventure with the late repots. i am a little concerned at the amount of foliage you have taken off. It is my understanding (perhaps mistakenly) that auxin is a key regulator of root growth and having chopped off so much foliage you will have removed a large amount of auxin too. Looking forward to your "i told you so" in spring 😉 Thanks for all the work you do to keep us informed.
I feel your anxiety too. I may have taken off a lot more than intended but we shall just have to see how things turn out in the spring. Having seen the state of the soil there was no way they would have got through another winter. I really did leave it too long to get them out of that soil. The learning never stops :)
I have some that I am growing from 2 year old saplings but they are very immature still. I don't like how nobbly they get and i struggle with woolly aphids on them too.
Thank you so much for sharing vidio bonsai👍👍🙏❤️❤️
Thanks for watching. They don't look at their best at this time but hopefully we shall see loads of flowers next spring :)

I think you are right about the 'blessing and a curse'...no such thing as summer holidays anymore. All mine happen in October...when its raining :)
She'll be right Xav! 😉Plants ability to survive is amazing.. thanks again
I think you are right and hopefully we shall see some nice blooms in early spring 😁
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat look forward to an update in the future

I just hope they have enough time to recover before winter sets in. I will definitely put them in the cold frame.
Very well done as always Xav!!
Thanks Matt
Great video xav 👍👍👍

Thanks - I am only new to this variety so still finding out these things. Any tips would be useful. Cheers :)

Everything is so expensive but who knows how channels suddenly grow. Fingers crossed Marysol
Nice species: I should get one!

I love that they flower over winter too :)

Another great video
Thanks - it is always a bit more difficult mixing together older stuff. Especially when my filming skills were not as good :)
Một cây thiên nhiên, qua bàn tay người bạn thành một tác phẩm nghệ thuật tuyệt vời 👍👍
Tôi thích cách chúng nở hoa suốt mùa đông và mùa xuân. Tôi chỉ cần tăng thêm một chút về chúng. Cảm ơn :)

I have some that I am growing from 2 year old saplings but they are very immature still. I don't like how nobbly they get and i struggle with woolly aphids on them too.
