    To me it seems like that aerial root is part of the problem with the "look" of the tree. It's really odd looking to me, anyway. Looking forward to watching the rest of the video to see what you came up with.

    For me the aerial root is out of place at the moment: coming out too high and too thick in comparison at the trunk. Anyway I like this tree soo much! I have to find one for my collection

    I think it was a good decision in the end, I think it looks really good with the other trunks. Looking forward to the repot to see how the roots look.

    To my eye, the super-long ,straight aerial root just doesn't go with the tree. It would hurt me, but I'd remove it..

    Lovely tree! I really love the 3 trunk clump look and I also see the potential in the rootbase. As other comments say, i would remove the tall aerial root and expose a new front where all 3 trunks are visible, maybe as in the video at 19:03. Anyway, good job and greedings from Romania!

    The view with the aerial root Infront of the main trunk is my favourite front. Then I'd remove the aerial root. But its your tree 😃. Thanks for all the videos, great entertainment 👍

  • @uppergorple

    As others have said, the aerial root is a distraction in its straightness - and it does seem to be contributing to a whorl or incipient inverse taper... The new front is fine but the new lhs would also be good as a new new front. But then, it does look like a real tree and not a faultless bonsai! Loved the blimp.

    Nice pruning session Nigel! I see there are several comments from people that would like removing that long aerial root and the apprentice squirrels already had a go at removing it. 😊 Does that root seem to thicken up the upper trunk? It's something that it's not very clear from watching the video. I think that would be a reason to remove it. Otherwise, it looks quite interesting.

    Hi Nigel, I have the growing part of bonsai down, but I don't have your artist's eye to know how to prune the trees. Maybe it will come with practice, but maybe it is a talent you were born with!

  • @dalepowell6815
    @dalepowell6815 2 года назад

    Nigel you did a really nice styling of the Sabre Leaf Ficus. The squirrel chew marks just add character to the tree,something you may find in nature from wind damage like another tree falling on it.

    I need to find that kind of ficus, love the leaves and trunk😃. It seem more than me have doubts about keeping that long aerial root but then again maybe Nigel have a master plan ahead in future that makes sense😊.
