Still love you Sam, just been giving bonsai a miss for a while, I know you understand ❤ Soo good to hear your voice again, even whispering 👌Will catch up on all your videos I’ve missed, in the new year. God bless you and Christmas blessings to you all 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️. 🙋♀️🤍🇮🇱✌️
Sam you’re a top bloke! After the year you & your family had last/this year it’s great, no awesome to see you back! Don’t personally know you but my heart and prayers go out to you and your family. Try to keep moving forward brother. The bonsai world is a caring world in my experience so much love from the UK Bruce.
Hi Sam, this melaleuca looks great. You really capture the natural style of the Aussie trees, not the typical triangle shape. Keep up the good work, and Merry Christmas, Mate.
That's a beautiful tree Sam, and I really like that technique, gives some good results definitely. Merry Christmas to you and your family! I sure hope it's a Blessed one for you, and thanks for another fine video of a fine tree! Take care Sam!
Merry Xmas Sammy, that tree is a cracker mate. I hope I have one like it soon. Started bonsai 1 year ago and I'm starting alot of trees from seed. Unbelievable almost, that this was tube stock 5-6 years ago. This made me happy and hopeful. Ledgend mate👍👍
Great looking tree Sam! It looks so lush and green. Of course I haven’t seen anything like that here but I have seen them on your property and your bonsai looks very similar to those. Wishing you a happy and peaceful Christmas!
Excellent tree! It's really looking like a tree you would see in nature. Love it! You guys are roasting in Australia, and here in Wisconsin, USA, we're freezing with bitter cold wind chills of -13°F.
Good video mate, happy to see you back. More natural styling is getting more attention around the bonsai world now. I got one like that probably melaleuca bracteata?
The audio was perfect mate. If it does start playing up, it's usually the connection that goes from the receiver to the phone. You can set the microphone part of the Rode Wireless Go II to keep a recording as well and then use the audio off that in editing, depends how much work you want to do in processing. Nice tree, the slab planting suits it too 👍
Cheers for the feedback mate. Glad it worked well. I was aware of recording but didn't want to take the next learning curve in the editing. I may have to learn how to overlay sound in the future in case of an issue. Old bloke like me struggle to learn new skills 🤣
@@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke Yeah it's a bit of a pain in the arse to have to overlay the audio track and get it to line up properly. I find when I use the Rode mic with the GoPro there's always a hiss on the audio that's recorded on the Gopro. When I bought my last new phone a couple years ago I bought one with no headphone port (muppet) 😂 so I have no choice really but to use the recording direct off the mic. The Audio on this video was fine so you might be right👍
Technical tip Sam, the sound would be marginally better if you shaved off the beard 😂😂😂 .... you are spot on with the method, just sorted out a Melaleuca I was given in the same way, copied your mallee style from a year or so back 👍👍
Well you are my newest best friend. I had a melaleuca basically the same as yours. Grew from a bird dropping i think around 10 years ago. I have been mucking around with it cut and grow for branches etc. this method you just showed got me saying yes. As mine is around 1metre tall now in a large plastic container and is growing madly with new growth going wild. So in the middle of your video i went out done 4 branches out of many and thought THANK you looks so different and stunning. 😄👍🇦🇺🦘
It's looking really good Sam, love the technique and the results!!
I saw this pop up and just thought to share it with you! I like how this technique gives the billowy cloud look.
Cheers Nigel. I think this technique seems to suit them really well. Possibly could work on some broadleaf and deciduous but not all I think 😃😃

Sam please know that you are giving me strength through my own insignificant difficulties. Praying for you all 👍
Thanks mate. Stay tough 💪
God bless you John, these are hard times- The End Times, I will pray for you, brother 🙏✝️@@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke
Sam you’re a top bloke! After the year you & your family had last/this year it’s great, no awesome to see you back! Don’t personally know you but my heart and prayers go out to you and your family.

Cheers mate all we can do is try to move forward and make tge most of what's left.
Have a great holiday mate
Great to see you back, I appreciate the time you put into making the videos, Merry Christmas
Beautiful work! That tree looks very healthy
Merry Xmas Aussie bonsai bloke and family, cheers Sam 🍻 👍
Im not brave enough to slabb pot a Mel, theyre already hard enough to keep alive lol. Brilliant job on the tree, your technique is defintely working.
Cheers mate. Yeh it is a bit of work on the water front now 😃
Now that's a tree! Now that's a beard!
Ha ha cheers mate
I'm glad you're back at it! You have a unique style.. perspective.. technique... interesting and informative. Keep it up!
Thanks, I appreciate it! 🙏
Maybe sit the slab on a container where the slab can wick up moisture if the container is able to hold the right amount of water
Plus I reckon the way you do these are most realistic miniature native bonsai I've seen
Great idea. Have thought of this also. Will have to try and find an appropriate container. Merry Xmas.
Loving the way this is coming along! It’s looking gorgeous ❤
Thanks! I'm loving it too
What a cool trunk on this tree, a triple. I like the foliage on it.
Love this tree! So awesome the way you came up with to prune it. Cheers mate🍻🍻
Glad you like it 👍 cheers
Hi Sam, this melaleuca looks great. You really capture the natural style of the Aussie trees, not the typical triangle shape. Keep up the good work, and Merry Christmas, Mate.

Looks like bracteata. They smell great when you cut the leaves. I have a literati of this tree.
Cheers mate, they are a great tree for bonsai.
Technical tip Sam, the sound would be marginally better if you shaved off the beard 😂😂😂 .... you are spot on with the method, just sorted out a Melaleuca I was given in the same way, copied your mallee style from a year or so back 👍👍
Beard is close to going mate. A new one will grow back soon enough 🤣
Glad you gave this style a go 😀
Are the cuttings easy to root?
I think no. They are easy from seed though
Mic 🎤 works well 😅
4 trunks?
Surely i would break the rules of odd trunks 🤔🤔
fukken hell.......thats as dry as a pommy's bloody bar of soap, mate
its a Meleluka Craka-fat-fa-yu
Well you are my newest best friend. I had a melaleuca basically the same as yours. Grew from a bird dropping i think around 10 years ago. I have been mucking around with it cut and grow for branches etc. this method you just showed got me saying yes. As mine is around 1metre tall now in a large plastic container and is growing madly with new growth going wild. So in the middle of your video i went out done 4 branches out of many and thought THANK you looks so different and stunning. 😄👍🇦🇺🦘
Wow that's soo cool to hear. It's soo easy and you get instant results from the method.
Soo glad.it worked for you. Merry xmas
