- I'm hoping to do some hard pruning to my Yucca forest later this summer, but first I need to get the trees healthy and growing with vigor!

Thanks Nigel! I rarely hear about Yuccas
I found for me Bonsai world like 6 months ago, and Nigel's channel was on of the first ones which encreased my love to trees. Thank you for what you are doing!
Nigel, your Yucca forest is totally amazing, first I have ever seen, keep up with the great work, I have enjoyed all the videos you have
allowed us to watch. Pl
Nice updates. The trunks on the Yuccas are really a work of art. Great looking trunks. Main trunk gives the tree an air of elegance.
It was thoughtful of your wife to get you that prickly pear cactus. I have 3 that I collected from the wild; I collected 2 about 30 years ago that I keep them outside, and 1 that I collected about 20(?) years ago on one of my last family visits with my father.
Your trees are looking great!
It's one of those plants that if you put them outside it will grow for decades without any effort from your part hahaha, love them
I had hundreds of pomegranates sprout, same thing, every single one grew completely different. There was one that stood out from the rest! My favorite. Pest control has me at my wits end right now. Thrips destroyed almost all my apple seedlings in just a few days. Your Yucca forest is so unique! Those oak are really neat too! Wonderful video!
I like the lushness of your larch forest for the show. But you’ll have to see in May. Looking forward to seeing which you choose
Your Serissa is a shoe in for the show.
I need to put some videos out on my channel of my ficus trees. I’ll do that soon. Great video as always Nigel👍
Nice updates! I spent all day Sunday descaling as well. I call dibs on one of the non-special pyrean oaks!!! 😍
Great to see some work on the Yucca forest Nigel! Sorry to see the scale infestation affected so many of your trees. I hope you'll manage to eradicate them.
Looking forward for the big prune and some closeups of those awesome Yucca trunks.
Ooo new camera angle! Looks great up here Nigel! You can use cinnamon to seal wounds as well
The main tree in the Yucca forest is looking amazing. The whole forest looks 10 times better after the cleanup, really mature!
very cool oaks!! dont forget to bring out the almonds they need full sun!!
one of your scale clearing videos helped me identify a scale blister on my echinacia suyeon earlier this year. just on one leaf.
I like glue as well🙂, green label wood glue ( the water proof one) is the one that I use, I also like that it dries clear 🪵🧴🥽
Thanks for sharing!!
I agree Nigel, pest management and watering are important. Thanks for sharing
Awesome!!! Good for you!
I am contemplating tidying up my rhododendron to submit to the show.
I've definitely cut my fingers open a few times on my ponytail palm as well.
I love your videos and i Thank you for all your wisdom you share with us 🙂
Just found you today i haven't even started yet but looking for inspiration watched three older vids so far as i want to staryt with a jade plant i brought 🌱
I'm really liking your Ficus Elasticas. They are such nice dark green and looking healthy. The larches are also looking so vibrant. I'm envious for the rain. We tend to have pretty dry springs, which at its worst can be tricky for sowing and planting for the summer.
Nice video. And oak is something I've have on my wishlist. I tried growing some one year from acorns, but they did survive and had buy one but it didn't survive a winter.
Some loud (Canadian?) geese honking there in the background.
That's why I love looking for oak seedlings, you really get a big variety in them. Last year I found a couple of them along an old goat pasture (of course the goats did some amazing pre bonsai work) their leaves are as big as my thumbnail, perfect for bonsai.
And it's not just oaks, this weekend while I was walking around I found this amazing Acer pseudoplatanus/ sycamore seedling. Not joking its foliage looks like pink camouflage, probably some kind of Variegation. I would love to share a picture of this with you Nigel, I'm really excited about this one's future.
Hola Maestro saludos desde España 🌵👌.

No veas vaya bosques haces de crassulas y portulacarias un abrazo 🌵👌
Thats a cool oak Nice one Nigel
Scale isn’t easy to treat. For anybody looking for an easy and effective treatment try a systemic pesticide. I use bug clear ultra in the uk. This pesticide will “get inside the tree” meaning anything feeding on it will be killed, waxy coating or not. It’s never harmed any of my trees either, where soap and water has.
Unfortunately for us, systemics were banned here. We can’t buy them even if we wanted to..
@@BlueJayBonsai Ah, that’s unfortunate. But it’s worth saying that I use them sparingly and for specific pests. I also never use systemics on flowering trees, especially if bees visit them (prunus for example).
I take it you put all the trees back in doors
Are the fruit from the mistletoe fig edible?
yep i am still taking out insects from my olive tree i think maby 1 more time or 2 and it will be fine i see new groth on. my red maple seeds haven't come out yet and i think the won't. i will still keep on trying the are to expesive for me to buy them as a tree and i don't like that nursely a lot the sell sick trees to.
First
Hi Nigel, i love your chanel, In your experience I was wondering if you could let me know which trees you think are most naturally resistant to pests?
👍
I thought you were going to leave the dead Yucca leaves on the tree like they are in the wild
Looked up scale insects on Wikipedia and became confused in much more detail! One thought though - could there be a scale reservoir in your plant room? Maybe a serious fumigation of some sort...
when i use soap and water on my trees, i put towels on top of the soil to protect it from soap going in. but i dont rinse the tree after putting soap is it bad ?
How do you get your spray bottle to quack like a duck speaking French?
👍👌👌🍎
Looking good Nigel. Will you be attending the cub meeting on Thursday?
I will, I'm looking forward to the Amur workshop!
Nigel, sir, how often do you water your yucca bonsai? Im struggling and need advice.
Is it unheard of to increase watering to every 3-5 days for an indoor yucca cane in an extremely well draining pot with soil similar to your bonsai soil mix?
I have two indoor yucca can that I’ve reported in extremely well draining pot and soil that is very well draining. I use a water moisture meter and within a few days the soil reads “dry”. After almost a year experimenting I’m still struggling to know if I’m watering enough to too much. I’ve been doing about every 7-10 days but am considering shifting to 3-5 days.
I did have yellowing leaves, and branches that died, but the main trunk was never soggy. Ans I never water when the soil feels damp.
Thank you!
Hello Simeon, I tend to water them based on light and temperature. If it is a sunny my Yucca forest will dry out and could require watering each day. If it is cloudy and cool, I might water once a week. I would try and keep your soil damp but on the dry side of damp. This applies to both indoor and outdoor growing. A grow light will really help the Yucca take up water and transpire it out the leaves. Here in Ontario, I haven't had any sun in over two weeks, so the grow light is really important to keep the tree healthy. You are correct to use a free draining soil, that should help the roots stay healthy. I also fertilize weakly every time I water using 20-20-20. I put a pinch of powdered fertilized into my watering can. If you overwater, I find the tips of the leaves will tend to go yellow and black. If you see this, let the soil dry out.
Thank you very much, Nigel. You are the first person to encourage regular watering, and I agree with this. Almost everyone else is telling me to simply water once or twice a month… weekly watering or watering every 10 days has resulted in several “generations” of new leaves to be extremely brittle and crumble away.
I will follow your advice and also add 20-20-20 fertilizer.
Thank you very much for your time and help.
I didn't like this one.. Not to your standards
