Hello Nigel, I love how you started putting in the old footage of your workings on the tree. It's really convenient for us viewers not to have to go look up the last video you did on a certain tree. This is one more little detail that greatly enhances the joy of watching your videos. Thank you!
The cedar is starting to look great! Interesting to see the transition over three years. The Schefflera is looking very nice and the viewers pics as well. Was nice to hear the piano again!
Interesting work on this tree. Enjoy how you explain your work as you go. That tree will be so happy to live in the basement for the rest of the winter season. Nice viewers' picks.
Finally...been waiting to see this tree again haha and my has it done some growing. The foliage of cedar and cypress are among my favorite on the evergreen side of the spectrum. This tree will be magnificent in the coming years! The style you are going for as well defies what most would do and that alone makes you one off my favorite to watch on UA-cam! Till next video...take care and stay warm up there!
Nigel, another great video, as usual. I especially like the flashbacks for comparisons. I also like the way you go "non-traditional by using string to put limbs in the positions that you want and not relying on wiring everything........man after my own heart. And, by the way, thank GOD, you got rid of that "man-bun". Man buns are stupid and you are NOT a stupid man. Have a Blessed Day.
Don't see how you get dislikes you seem to be a very genuine person and it seems you love your tree's quite a bit, it's absurd how people hate due to their lack of success to where others succeed.
Your masterfulness and highly developed skill set really shown through while decisively and confidently working on this tree. ~ It’s admirable how you keep finding ways to improve the quality of your videos with items like including clips from previous posts. ~ I also enjoy the viewer pics. I’m guessing that the plant that looks palm-like with the single unbranched trunk at 23:35 is an aglonema. (?) ~ Re; shefflera - Sometimes nature tortures plants and sometimes we do too! ......if only accidentally. In this case a happy accident!
Thank you, the tree has really changed a lot in the 3 years since collecting, but it still has a long journey ahead! I'll really enjoy seeing it develop!
Love it! I have 2 maple and a oak tree I collected and I always keep some the old soil that I pick from around the tree.. I feel like I give the tree the same nutrients they were used to while in the wild. But I do mix it with good soil :) Thanks Nigel for the inspiration you give me everyday!
That is a great looking trunk with a lot of potential. I'm a beginner and am very interested in making a western redcedar bonsai as I am surrounded by them living in Vancouver. This video is very informative thank you!!
You may have mites on that Schefflera plant at 22:40. Look at the bottom leaves. Notice the webbing? Also look closer and you can see little dots moving around. I see at least 2. Theres always more and they multiply fast. Better get on that...
Thank you for the update Nigel! Snow is very cool. Interesting how you deal with it in the Bonsai Zone, I have never experienced it for I live near the Equator.
@@TheBonsaiZone -21 C sounds really hectic, stay warm. Can't wait to watch the video even though I'm worried about intense sun, with highs of 27 C today.
Great bonsai videos I've been watching them for about 4 years now and learned quite a bit about trees, especially when I first started studying bonsai, so thanks nigel. On another note I'm curious about whats the earliest time of year you would replant that tree (white cedar ) I have a couple old ones,well 10 years old anyways not really old for trees. They were both grown from seed in separate pots.i started them when I was living at our family cabin, in l'anse Michigan, upper peninsula. I imagine you have a lot of the same tree wounderful tree species that we have like cedar, hemlock, larch, white pine,spruce,and cedar, along with many others. So anyways back to my question about how earily can you safely repot white cedar. I have a couple10 year old trees and around six young 2 -3 year old trees.they all need repotting. last year I lost one of my old ish trees due to not repotting and letting soil break down to soggy akadama , pluss some of the old origanal sandy peaty soil that is found all over the huron bay, huron mountains area, the soil was still around the root ball from growing it in the ground when it was younger to fatten up trunk. Of corse this lead to root rot and killed my 11 ,12 year old tree. I have no one but myself to blame being lazy and not making the time to work on all my trees. So any advise on how earily I can repot a cedar and what type of soil do you recommend any advise would be much appreciated. I prefer to water once a day and I live in Illinois western suburbs atm if this info helps, pluss I always keep around bags of akadama, kunima,bonsai block wich is basically just hard rock, good for drainage, pine bark, perlight with a little charcoal and home made compost for mixing in. Depending on what I'm replanting I mix accordingly but sometimes doing research online and in many books leads you down many roads.this is why the japanese learn from one master,and only travel one road instead of many. sincerely brandon Ps sorry kinda long post
Hello Brandon, it is best to re pot the Thuja's (White Cedar's) later in the season as they are slower to wake up that most trees. In spring you will see the foliage go from the winter colour back to the summer green colour. This is the sap flowing in the tree and the start of the growing season. After they turn green, look for signs of new growth on the tips, when you first notice something happening, this is the perfect time to repot! For me this is usually mid to late June. I use a good free draining mix of 1/2 perlite and 1/2 turface and I try and add about 10 percent composted pine bark if I have some available. The trees should be watered often, especially in spring when they need the water the most. I water and fertilize together, adding a small amount of fertilizer to my watering can every time I water. I only add a small pinch as too much fertilizer can lead to problems. Mist the trees on hot afternoons and keep them in full sun. Do not let them dry out as it can kill off the root tips and recovery can be difficult.
I usually bring them in when it looks like -15 C (5 F) at night or colder. The coldest it gets around here is -24 C (-11 F). It is supposed to go down to that this Sunday!
I just bonsai’ed a golden globe arborvitae. It’s hardy to zone 3 and I’m on the border of 5 and 6. Is that warm enough to keep potted outdoors during the winter?
Pick a tree that you really like and then check out the requirements for it to germinate with an online search. Some seeds need to be cool for the winter and others are waterproof and need the seed coating scratched to let water in. I really like growing trees from seeds, happy growing!
I noticed that you are not an avid fan of wiring your bonsai Nigel. I wired mine but whenever I unwire them I end up damaging some branches. I find it easy to wire but harder to unwire them as new shoots are delicate not to mention having nasty wire marks. Are those also your reasons aside from obtaining a more natural looking tree?
@@miratodc thanks a lot mate. I've tried weaker wire but it seems it does not have that proper grip as it tends to go back when i unwire them. Thus ending up rewiring them.
+Nigel Saunders, The Bonsai Zone Hi Nigel, that Cedar sure has done well in just 2 years, looking good. The Schefflera is really interesting indeed, could you perhaps do something to the dead section to preserve it, some kind of treatment? Would you be interested in doing that? It's 31°c , sunny and pretty hot. We've recently had lot's of nice rain too! I don't know how you guys manage in that Icy, snowy, freezing Canada! Not sure If I could endure that weather for long! Cheers.
Omg I just seen you wire a branch 😅... never thought I'd see the day.. guess me finally finding a thuja to work on is your down fall hehehehe.. but I am wondering how long it takes for thuja bark do turn silvery brown. My thuja has 3" trunk and already has the Cathedral top starting at about 10" in hight. It was a nursery find for 20 bucks but is on its last leg. I did an emergency repot out of Season because I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make it in soil that has broken down to straight sand and mud no Particles bigger than sand. I cut back some of the tops and counted 8 rings from a half inch branch so I'm estimated is probably 20 to 30 years old. I got it from one of those family run nursery that keeps everything no matter how long its been in that pot. Probably been there 15 years or so Judging condition of the nursery pot. It literally fell apart in my hands. I call or nursery Yamador lol 😆
Hey Nigel! I watch all your videos and I’m learning a lot! Just got into bonsai last fall so not much growing. But I got a few different willow cuttings growing fast! and a jade tree I just hard pruned. but I don’t remember which video of yours tells me how to post pix of my trees...
The tree is dormant in the winter so when you prune the tree, it doesn't bleed very much, if at all. No tree is entirely dormant, so the wound does do some healing before spring hits and you get far less bleeding when the sap flows. Pruning in early winter will also stimulate new buds to develop below the cut points and these will develop into branches more quickly than if you did a spring pruning.
Awesome videos! Just stumbled across your channel to learn a little! Any suggestions for a beginner in canada for a good first tree? Thanks again, keep making great videos!
Hey I started last year with bonsai's because its becoming a passion for me, but is it possible to cut of a branch of the tree in this video and try and grow roots on it or not? Like putting it in cup of water like it works with willow tree?
I have grown cuttings from my Thuja occidentalis. I place the cutting in soil and keep them protected from the direct sun and wind for the entire summer. By fall you'll know if they have rooted, if they are still green, you've had success! I leave them planted as cuttings for one more year and then dig them up and root prune to begin to transform them to a bonsai.
I go visit the nurseries in the middle of winter, just to get that summer feel and smell! I try and take an equal amount of care for each tree, seedlings to more mature trees!
They didn't do well, they germinated and grew tall and then rotted away at the base. I think I would need to start them outdoors in the summer for better success. I will try again!
Nigel Saunders, The Bonsai Zone I have been studying your videos and you have given the courage to plant my first bonsai forest. Wish me luck!!! How can I send you a photo of it?
