  • I'm getting two Serissa foetida (Snow Rose) forests ready for our club bonsai show, that is only 5 days away!
    These forests were all started from cuttings, from a year old, to almost 20.

    Again beautiful! Just off work, in a small town hotel, no WiFi available. This was worth the data usage! And I'd probably make more noise than that if I was laying an egg... O.o Thank you for the time you take for us fans, it is appreciated!

    In my imagination, your wooden base will look nice with a deep cherry wood type paint/ stain(?)🤔.
    I have been watching your videos for nearly 3 years. But, don't know much about bonsai ( just a standard house plant lover). So, I refrain from typing... until now.
    Best of luck at your show, Nigel!

    That main Serissa has really grown pretty quickly. Really cool forest. I think people at the show will be inspired to make a forest style bonsai after seeing the creativity put into yours.

And I literally just bought the Elephant bushes because of how much they appear in your video!

      Hello Martin, this tree started from a small cutting, the trunk was pruned shorter to a branch that then took over as the main leader of the tree. You can watch the entire playlist for this tree here....

    Hi Nigel, thanks for the awesome video as usual. Can you please post the correct scientific name of the African Acacia style tree you have. I'm having a hard time figuring it out. The "cerissa macrocarpa" I have is a "natal plum" , which is an awesome bonsai material but not what you have there.
    Thanks

      @TheBonsaiZone  6 лет назад

  • @pansepot1490
    @pansepot1490 6 лет назад +2

    Why don't you put a sheet of paper or plastic on the ground of your trees before you prune them? It would make cleaning up all the clippings so much more easy! I don't think it must be fun to chase and pick up one by one all the fragments of leaf that get trapped in the moss after sweeping off the bulk of the cut foliage.

      It can depend on the species, for these trees you would want to do a final pruning the week of the show. The moss should be pruned more often so it stays short and green!
