18:54 that is a cat wearing a chicken suit.
So excited to finally meet the rooster in the background of your videos 🐔👩🏻🌾🪴😬
Thanks Angie, it's nice to see him being so quiet!!!
@TheBonsaiZone being from the country now in the city for a while I appreciate the rooster noise mixed with bonsai knowledge 👌
That reminded me so much of the following joke:
A farmer's rooster dies and he buys a new breeding rooster at the livestock market, a real splendid specimen. The farmer brings it home to the farm in a box, opens the box and - bang - the rooster runs straight into the chicken coop and takes on one hen after the other.
Then the rooster comes out of the stable, looks around briefly and runs straight to the ducks.
The farmer is completely speechless. In the afternoon he looks out the window and sees the rooster with the geese. After a while the rooster staggers out of the coop and comes to a stop in the middle of the yard and flaps over.
The farmer goes to rooster and says: "Well, you've probably gone a bit overboard, haven't you?!" Then the rooster opens one eye and replies: "Go away, old man, don't spoil my number with the vulture!"
You make such cool videos!! I watched countless over the last few years and never wrote a comment and probably forgot to leave a like most of the times. I enjoy your videos quietly and today I had the need to thank you!
Best wishes from Switzerland!
Nice!
That stand for $3.50 is an absolute steal!
Oooh, I love the round table!!!
I think you got lucky on this one ! I like it! Thanks nigel
Very interesting tree, I love what you made of it ☺️
Dr. Saunders, your surgical skills are fascinating in shaping this Juniper. I can see a great future in this tree.
Lots of work to go on this one!!
I would love to see an update on the $12 juniper.
Those were sone “big cuts” my friend! Great clean-up!
Wow! What a difference a cut makes hey.. awesome thx
Rooster resting. Maestro manifesting. Life well lived.
Is that called Bush-Wacking?!? Turned out nice...Looking forward to following its progress...Thanks...
Like your analysis and boldness. I wonder what the base of the trunk looks like.
This video was really timed perfectly for me. I live in SE Texas. I wanted to start Bonsai this past winter, but my husband tripped over our new dog and broke his neck (not the dog's neck). He'll be fine, but I really had to step up and assume all his chores. I wasn't able to start bonsai in the cooler months, so I was really discouraged. I have a little more time now, and starting with a juniper that i dont have to repot is ideal. Thank you so much for all the effort and information you put into each episode. JANE
Nice work nigel. Who gave you the challenge? Wish someone would give me a challenge like that so I would have to challenge myself. Enjoy a challenge lol
I challenge you to a $50 juniper challenge lol
Wow! That was a lot of foliage that you took off! Great trunk! It will be interesting to see it develop into the future 😊
Looking at it should be a juniperus procumbens, you got it at a nice price. Nice work Nigel, you inspired me, I have one more or less of same dimension sitting in the garden since 4 years, now you inspired me
That has some amazing potential! Excellent work as always 👍
Foist😂
Noice!
I would make all sorts of cuttings 😂 big and small 😂
Wow! That was quite the transformation!! Very nice! Definitely picked one with potential! Great show Nigel!
Hi Nigel. What a lovely nursery find this is! I like the movement in the trunk and branches. Many of my bonsai are from nursery stock. I recently bought 20 eucalypt seedlings, ( I am in Australia), Spotted gum, Eucalyptus regnans (Mountain Ash) and Gippsland Mallee Gum.
I plan to create some eucalypt forest bonsais from them, both single species and mixed. I've repotted them and done the first trim of their tap roots. I'm looking forward to watching the progress of your Juniper.
I'm thinking it's the differences in our own areas that cause newbies to do too much or too little at the wrong times. I'm in Louisiana in the southern US where April is considered early spring, May is spring, & June def brings in summer. It can be 90F+ in May. I'm pretty sure I killed a lovely little juniper by trimming & repotting in late April. The heat came in soon after & I think it was all too much for it. Also 10 beautiful Larch seedlings. They came in bare root but leafed, I put them into pots & trimmed the height. I lost them all. Hard lessons to learn, but definitely learned!! Thank you Nigel for the wonderful videos you put out for us!!!
I know what you mean by luck...but you still have to make all the right choices to end up with the tree you have now. This has some lovely movement on it and will develop in true bonsai zone fashion :)
Strange sunbathing chicken 😂 ... cool juniper 😊
Nigel, I would love to see you do a one off project tree in which you use wire to manipulate the branches into position. I know your not keen though 😂👍🏻
👍👌👌
Question for you I always repotted in new soil and pot I never ever had any problems with Juniper's
Whoa! Quite the transformation!
I’m diggin it, good sir
When styling a juniper like this, what trees are you trying to imitate?
Are you going to root all the cuttings or you don't have space for them?
No new trees...Unless it's for a challenge! Lol
hello
Nigel do you live in the ghetto? Always hearing sirens. Do they have ghettos in Canada?
I live near a fire station!
You'v cut so many branches, it could have a lot of jins, you dont like these?
