  • Derrick is giving me a bench tour to show all his bonsai projects on the go!
    Many of these trees are started from seed or cuttings.

    Love these private tours as you get to see cool people, know a little of their bonsai philosophy and the trees themselves of course. 💚

    The fine leaf tree that gets the purple flowers is called Jacaranda . They are lavender colored flowers that are just gorgeous to look at.

    The trees that you guys called silk trees or powder puff, are actually Jacarandas I believe. Sometimes called Brazilian rosewood. Common in bonsai starter kits. Tropical tree, and those tiny leaves are actually part of a whole petal. each of those branches is actually 1 “leaf”. Fun to mess around with. Grow wild, trunk chop, repeat to get ramification

    Ficus natalensis is my favorite indigenous bonsai. So easy to grow and the leaves reduce super well.

    Hello Nigel. Today, a journalist friend of mine here in my city, really wanted to know about my adventure with the cork oak acorns that are now your trees. He was surprised, and he only did a short article, don't worry.

    In Vietnam, Ficus trees are very popular, can be planted everywhere, on walls, along roads, easy to hunt, if there is a shop selling them, the price is very cheap.

    I repot my ficuses too frequently. I need to let them get a little root bound to get awesome aerial roots like that mother of the cuttings. They grow so fast I keep getting worried they’ll starve themselves. Time to skip a few extra years.

    • @WoollenMaple
      @WoollenMaple 11 месяцев назад +2

      I fiddle with my plants too often too. I have a conifer I'm resisting the urge to repot. It doesn't need it ❤
