Haha thanks mate. It's one of the cool things I was wanting from what I'm doing, to be able to watch a tree change from nothing to something.

It is cool to be able to watch the changes over a long period, sometimes I forget where they started.

@ not only tree but shows your skills and knowledge growing too

@@thetreestyler 100%

Mostly why I started this channel was so I could look back like that and see where my trees started and how they'd changed, it's pretty cool.

@@Bearded_Bonsai Same it was a video diary for me. I enjoy styling trees and making vids😁

I'm exactly the same mate. Good stuff 👍

It could go either way haha

It's a home made mix of scoria, perlite and zeolite. I plan on adding some pumice to the mix and maybe some akadama to see how that goes.

Thank you 👍

Spring is probably the best. This one was done in late November, so almost Summer. If it was in active growth and the weather conditions weren't looking too bad for a week or two, I'd be happy to repot it and put it somewhere protected with plenty of water for a few weeks, but that's just me.

@ cheers mate. I might just slip pot it then and do a bonsai repot spring. Cheers for the advice. 😉👍🏻

Probably for the best. My next video is another Leptospermum that I repotted about 5 days ago, it's still looking good after the repot but it's also hidden away in the shade with auto misters watering it morning and afternoon.

@ cool. Look forward to it. I’ve gotta at least scrape the surface soil back on mine as it’s crusty as. I’ll upsize it in a large plastic pot and give it a style. Hey, can I ask what you use to edit your videos? Going to have a crack and seems to be heaps of different opinions out there. Any advice would be really appreciated.

​@@BonsaiAnyone I use Wondershare Filmora. I was fortunate enough to buy it back when you could get an actual lifetime license, unfortunately now you need to pay a continuing subscription fee. Filmora works OK, I stick with it mainly because I know how to use it and I don't really want to have to learn another editing program if I don't have to. If I was going to switch, I'd probably look at DaVinci Resolve, it seems to get rave reviews and I believe the free version has most features that you'd need.

The dark red will look good in flower. These ones should be a darker purple, I think this one had old, faded flowers.

That's probably not a bad idea with the trunks, give it a bit of asymmetry. I think I'll wait until I get a pot for it and can decide for sure on a front and go from there. Thanks.

My pot radar is on haha

Yeah I don't really remember that one when I potted them all up, but it's probably on the original video. Not sure what I was thinking to be honest haha

For sure. Just gotta find a big enough pot that won't cost the earth. Thanks.

I reckon leave the foot, just a bigger pot mate 👍🏻😉

It's just gone back into a standard potting mix for now. Once I find a pot that it'll fit into, I'll put it into a bonsai mix and we can also have a better look at how the big Yeti foot will look all exposed above the surface haha

Thank you. I think it looks pretty good too. Just some continual refinement work now 👍

Thanks for the pointers. I might have to do some root work on them sooner rather than later.

I've been thinking about it more since the video and it makes sense to try to use that low back branch and thread graft a branch on the side. I reckon I'll give it a crack. Cheers.

She's a good grower. I'm noticing a bit of yellowing in the foliage of my trees since changing to a more inorganic mix though, it's more evident on camera I think, so I'll have to look at what fertiliser I'm using and maybe add something with trace elements in it.

Thank you. It's an exciting wait to see how they'll turn out.

Thank you. I just use about 50/50 dynamic lifter and blood and bone in a cotton tea bag. Works well, the bag looks a bit ugly but it's better than me forgetting to fertilise my trees for months haha

Funny but true 😂

Thanks mate, I sure hope so. It would be cool to have a bottle tree with big old fat trunk taking pride of place out front.

Yeah we are all safe at the moment, has been some nasty weather around but not in our immediate area. I'm already looking forward to the end of summer though, our heat can be relentless. The tree is coming together I think, a lot closer to a nice bonsai than when I started with it, so I'm happy with that. Thanks.

Thanks. I think it's starting to look OK too.

That's a pretty good idea, I should give it a go. Thanks 👍

Thanks mate, not 100% happy with it yet but it's a lot better than where it started.

Thank you 👍

Thanks mate. The natives definitely grow best for me, that's for sure, although there's a couple exotics that seem to do OK too.

Happy new year!

@@Bearded_Bonsai you inspired me to make my own little channel haha cheers mate

@@Bearded_Bonsai here we go!

Count me in, the more bonsai the better.

Thank you. I hope it's a good year for you as well. Happy New Year!

Thanks for the support, Happy New Year!

Thank you. I do like to stay busy haha. Yes we are in the Gin Gin area. These are the bags I've been using --> www.ebay.com.au/itm/174857860655?_skw=tea+bag&itmmeta=01JGGAKV3H3XTZ69JYGVAQJRYQ&hash=item28b657362f:g:cGAAAOSwmFhb0AJ8

Thanks heaps for the link David and thought it was around there somewhere I looked at properties up that way but wife didn’t want to move that far away. Nice farm 👍

It was some of the best value for money property around when we bought, but yes it's a bit out of the way for some.

Happy New Year to you too mate.

That Jaboticaba would be 25 years old, it would have been 2002 or 2003 when I dug it and put it in a pot. Lot's of trees everywhere here haha. Happy New Year mate.

Thank you. The natives definitely have the best growth rates, for me anyway. Happy New Year!

Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

No, thank YOU for watching and interacting on my videos, I truly appreciate the support. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and your family too.

Merry Christmas to you too Paul, hope it's a good one for you. Got much planned?

@@Bearded_Bonsai I have 11 long videos on scheduled😃 release so reply plenty of comments. Kids will drive me up the wall and will have a beer or three.

@@Bearded_Bonsai I bet you touch some trees hahaha

@thetreestyler That's awesome, I'll have some good bonsai material to watch over the break. I've got a ham brining in the fridge to go in the smoker Christmas morning, will make some adult eggnog as well, I'll be a merry fat man by the end of the day haha. Just me and the Mrs at home this year so it'll be pretty chilled. And yeah, it's a pretty safe bet that I'll touch some trees, might even go for a dig somewhere.

@@Bearded_Bonsai I have my kids so had to be organised and leave the trees alone. Cheers mate

Yep, it always just looked like a little shrub, except for the first week after pruning and wiring, when it actually looked a bit wind swept. It's now "go hard or go home", I'll give it a bit to recover, then it'll be pushed further to become a tiny little upright of some description.
