Repotting a Collected Thuja, The Bonsai Zone, March 2024

- I'm repotting this collected Eastern White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis) that I got from Connor for the first time. I was hoping to make this tree a root over rock planting?

100% correct choice of pot. It suits the tree exactly. A lovely tree Nigel.
Two weeks ago i repotted my crepe myrtles. I realized i have fully developed the "if it dies it dies" mentality for young trees when it comes to root pruning. I attribute this to watching your videos. It makes root pruning more approachable. Lucky for me crepe myrtles cant truly be killed lol.
I completely relate to your comment! I even hear his voice when making a hard decision about cutting something or not. As soon as I say, "and here I go", it happens 😂 there's no turning back.
I also say the mantra, "Nigel does it and his trees do great. Nigel does it and his trees do great." *Chop*
@Myhyperfixation when you start you think trees are so fragile. Probably doesn't help that the normal person things trees will die if you mess with the roots. I called a dude about grinding some cypress knees down in my lawn. He flat out told me grinding a knee down so I don't hit it with my mower will kill the tree and he wouldn't do it. His advice to me was don't mow near them. I have about 15 cypress on my property if I didn't mow around knees I would never mow at all lol.
I m watching every video you post, Nigel! Thanks! 🙏
Looking forward to seeing the baobabs being root pruned and repotted. I have 20 of them grown from seeds and I m too scared to root prune them, so I will wait for the master to do it first 😎🙏
Greetings from Romania 🇷🇴!
Agreed, the perfect pot...Love those thuja projects...This may be my favorite of your cedars...Thanks for sharing...
That's a great looking tree! Just love you walking us through your thoughts along the way in this process.
Yes! I chose that pot right off the bat! I enjoying trying to predict your moves from watching and learning from you for all these years. You are my go too for all my bonsai. Thank you Nigel 😊
Looks fantastic in the new pot!
LOVE this tree, thanks for sharing.
Amazing tree and amzing pot.
Wow! That is a very nice looking tree!! Great pick on that pot!
Nice transformation. The new pot suits it. I’m giving a few of my trees a try in pond baskets this spring at repotting. A Hinoki Cypress , a jack pine, and a Japanese black pine. I’m really excited to see the results in the future. Thanks, keep growing
The tree looks really good in that pot, very old and natural looking.
Amazing work Nigel!!🎉🎉
Good root system on the Thuja. Maybe the pond basket helped a bit?
I think you made the right choice with the pot. Looks great!
Thay chậu cho một cây bonsai cũng phải có nhiều kinh nghiệm, video bạn rất hay ❤❤❤❤
I think root over rock might still be possible for this tree. I could imagine a partial-root over rock planting: some of the outer roots draped over rocks, and the whole planting elevated with high soil.
Basically building a cliff rock formation around it and letting the tree grow over the edges.
It looks very nice in its current pot but I think the Rattlesnake Point vision is worth sticking with!
Maybe in the future it wil be an option. Smaller rocks can also be nested inbetween roots to give ilusion that there is more rock underneath.
Looks like a good one great shape 😮
This tree has a lot of potential to be a 360 tree :D
👌👍👍
V nice tree and an excellent choice of pot. Do you ever plant on slate or tile to promote root spread? And, is there a relationship between your approach to roots and your approach to your hair? (Just a bald guy asking.)
Planting on top of something flat not always gives good results.
Oval is good
Interesting that you purposely remove features that could be turned into jin which would (imo) make the tree more interesting. Any comment on that?
Nigel is not a big fan of jin.
Think your scissor crazy

Nice Kevin Happy Easter
Thank you, Scott. I get one every once in a while...😂😊😂
