    At 24:25.. right after you mention the lady bug on your tree.. you look at the camera, and it looks like there is another lady bug on the corner of your glasses, nearest to the tree 👀😂 haha.
    Always love your videos. I've learned alot from you! Thanks!

    Wow, That Douglas Fir is already a looker. Nice trunk, great branches. Very nice! I see a few of those little cars here once in a while! Julian look so huge in there! Glad he is able to get a vehicle he really likes! You're a good Dad, Nigel! Great way to spend time together as well!

    Congratulations to Julian on the abarth. Is a fun car! I have worked and driven a few of them i Norway. Really did like it. Feels special when you drive it. Yes I remember I sent you some money a very long time ago for the 50 dollar challenge. Wanted to give a tree. And that was the solutions. Thank you again nigel! So nice to have you in my life!

    The exhaust on that Abarth sounds awesome!!! Makes me want to test one for fun. Lol
    And I see he's gonna break the red vehicle tradition. 😋

    Thank you so much for being so consistent with your videos Nigel! Your'e a gift to the community. I just started in 2020. Would it be possible in these videos in the winter time to talk about how often you water these trees or maybe what you do just prior and after you work on these trees in the winter? Thank you again so much for sharing your expertise!

    Glad Julian has found his dream car. An Arbarth has a good name but here in the UK, close to the English Channel & the salty atmosphere, FIAT stands for 'Fix It Again Tomorrow'. There are very few Fiats in Bognor! I love your channel as you show your trees right from the start and how you make them progress into, hopefully, magnificent bonsai. I owe an awful lot to yourself Nigel. Many thanks.

    The Douglas Fir looks great. Spring can't come soon enough.
    Cool choice of car as well! Sounds good, too!

    Cold here also. Make sure your pipes are wrapped to keep them from being frozen or the electric tape to keep them warm. Glad your trees are doing good with the cold. At least they are dormant.

    A 500 Abarth, sheesh. I had to make do with a 127 mk3 "Comfort" with a piddly 900cc engine in it.

      I don't know what you just said, but my first car was a '75 Dodge Dart. It wouldn't start in wet weather without squirting ether into the carburetor.

    Hi Nigel. I’m new to the art of Bonsai. I live in Michigan, and it seems like you are focused on winter pruning in our climate…do you do most of your pruning in the winter and root pruning in the spring? Just trying to get a rough sense of the process.

    Hi Nigel, I'm a very new student of Bonsai, and managed tto get a free Thuja Christmas tree this year that I want to make into a Bonsai, but I have a question about conifers in general--how young can you dig up a conifer in the wild? I want to make miniature trees.
    We have many white pines, thujas, cedars, and spruces I can collect in my area.
