a tree making it to a grand old age is something to celebrate. Heres to another 10 years of the bonsai zone!
I love the concept of this video! Please more of this!
While I'm making requests, please more of your deciduous hardwood trees please!
This is an incredible video documenting its journey through the years. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.
Wow! I was born in August 1993, it is almost as old as me! Great job!
It’s so funny to see the different hairstyles you have lol
wonderful video
This video made me realize just how long I’ve been watching you and your trees. Thank you for the many years. I’ve learned so much. Keep doing what you do Nigel, and I will be right there with you.
Thanks Steve, I like your channel, you are meticulous, a rare and good trait for growing bonsai!!!
Wow what a journey. Thanks for sharing Nigel. 👩🏻🌾🪴
What a trip down memory lane, it was great to not only see your ficus mature but also the production quality of the channel, not to mention you've really grown in character too, I hope the ficus lives to a grand old age and you along with it Nigel, here's to many more years of the Bonsai Zone
In a world so bent on instant gratification this video is a master class of the beauty of connecting to patience and nature. Keep posting montage videos like these of other projects for inspiration. I would rather watch your works over watching any crap on streaming services. Thank you “Zen Master Saunders”.
Wow, that is epic!!
Love seeing Young Nigel....
That was a great video. The end result is magnificent. You should be proud.
Thanks Nigel! Thank you! For everything! For every video you've already made and all the ones that are yet to come! THANK YOU!!!
I surely don't miss that glass aquarium you used as a table too rake out the roots on your trees 😊
My first 3 tree's were a ficus microcarpa, chinese elm, and a satsuki azalea. Working with the ficus and some of the flowering species is what I enjoy working with most.
That was really cool!! To see a tree from start to present! WOW!! What a journey! Thank you so much for that! Too bad you can't put your Canada arm in the greenhouse.
All I can say is Wow, that was amazing. You have inspired so much and so many over the years. I’ve only recently found your videos but enjoy every one. Keep it up mate. From wales 🏴 UK.

This kind of video I find to be extremely helpful. It really lets me visualize the transformation.
Thank you thank you thank you. for your journey.
WOW. One for the history books. What a fantastic journey you took us on.
It almost hard for me to understand i 6 years old when your startet the tree. It's amazing to see the progress , and learn from it too. Thank you for amazing video ,down memory lane. And merry Christmas
Hats off to patience of you people
Hats off to years of experience and knowledge
Amazing! I was thinking back from the beginnings of this tree, and remembering what seems like a tremendous amount of life I have experienced since then! Wow! It's been very exciting and chock full of experiences I never imagined I would have! What a ride it has been to date, and the same goes for your Microcarpa.
I think the "Covid years" aged all of us so quickly in those two years, and it really took its toll on our hair and skin. It did for me, and of course, you've turned into a grey pineapple! LOL!
Seriously Nigel! This was such a wonderful video! I love history, and it was fascinating to follow the history of the life of this tree so far!
Thank you!
Lisa
Thanks for that wonderful stroll down memory lane. Keep growing

A great trip down memory lane, short hair, blue jeans and long teeth on the root rake. Thanks for sharing your trees and your expertise!! Here’s to another 10 years!! 🎉🎉🎉

Beautiful journey. Thank you for sharing.
This was an amazing video Nigel.
LOVE following the progression of your videos! Wishing you and yours well in this holiday season!
Wow, that a journey! I do miss the metal on glass sound for sure...you should bring that back. Cheers Nigel, congrats on the solid decade!
its always so lovely to see the progress on this tree! gives me hope for my own little seedlings.
Merci beaucoup pour votre chaîne youtube.
Salutations de France.
Very interesting to see the development of this amazing tree and your channel over many years. You and your concept of creating bonsai are a huge inspiration for me!
I really like to see the progression of the tree and your thoughts over a long time in one video. This is an excellent blueprint for other trees, I hope 🙏😉. Thanks, Nigel!
Wow...i was born in june 1991 and i was 1 year old when the ficus sprouted. And here we are in 2024. I've been following you since the third season of the bonsai zone and this is my first comment, just to tell you how much i love your zen attitude and the "green art" as well. Thank you for keeping up the spreading of this wonderful and life saving mastery to the world! Ciao Nigel, from Italy
Very beautiful styling! Gratulations Dear Master!Namaste 🕉
One of ur most beautiful videos...it was such a delight seeing your and your Bonsai's journey through these years
Thanks so much!!!
Glad I watched, great full story thanks
Wish I could hit the like button more than once! I love the story of this tree and it was so much fun to see clips from videos I watched when I first found your channel in 2018. 💖
What a wonderful voyage back in time. Thank you. i nearly used some of those clips in my recent video :)
Thanks Xavier, feel free to use any clips!!
What a great walk through time with this tree. Definitely a cup of tea to watch. Excellent!!!
Shalom Nigel!
I've been so busy lately Nigel. I hope you and your family had an amazing Christmas. Great video, you could do many of these now with all the footage. Thanks as always sir. ❤
I love the tree progress vidios like this one Nigel very cool to see them grow!

Thanks so much, time sure flies by!!
Fabulous! No words to describe.
Thanks!!
Wow what a journey!!! Fantastic!!! thank you for documenting this and sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Growing with your trees for decades sounds like a great time. I'm In my 20s and I hope my trees grow for years and years with me too🌳✨️
I hope so too!
Привет, дорогой друг. Я давно смотрю за Вашими работами.... с 2015 года. У Вас очень показательные работы для начинающих. Продолжайте и дальше вдохновлять других. Мне очень понравилось последнее видео о фикусе выраженном из семечки и до текущего времени, побольше таких работ и про другие растения. Успехов Вам и вдохновения!!! 👏👏👏
Большое спасибо за просмотр, об этом фикусе будет еще больше, развивать это дерево в будущем должно быть весело!!
Thanks for sharing this with us I enjoyed seeing your tree growth and the progress of the tree, wow that's awesome!
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely amazing to see this trees development. I'm hoping either I or some of my trees last long enough to see this length of progression 😊
I hope so too!
Bonsai growing is a matter of patience and it makes one live longer. In 30 years one small plant can take a shape of good bonsai tree. Amazing
Well said!
Long journey of making a goog bonsai, i watched from indonesia
I Miss do something green today
So fascinating and cool to see the years of progress. Also inspiring that maybe little me can achieve something and we all been beginners and some are more talented - but hey just enjoy the journey cause there is no finite goal in bonsai! 😊
This is a great video, Nigel.
Many thanks!
Such a beautiful tree!
This video motivated me to be more patient, it’s been 30+ years and it amazes me to think that it need more years for the perfect form
This is actually the tree that made me find your channel in 2016. I lived in Hong Kong back then and i had a microcarpa tree in my street and i took a cutting off of it and i started looking for information about how to grow it as a bonsai tree 😊
That's awesome, I hope it grows into a cool tree!!
@@TheBonsaiZoneWell.... Unfortunately, I got in a very deep depression during a heat wave and all my trees died. Haven't got any trees back ever since. One day, I hope to go back to enjoy bonsai again, but not where I live right now. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and others
Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations Nigel!!! Thank you for inspiring me to do bonsai. Great video, magnificent tree!🌳
Nice to hear John!!!
I like that you use your Horticultural skills to style your trees. It always amazes me that you are able to do well without wiring. Good for you.
PS- I like your Haircut in all the older videos. That clean cut style looks good on you
Thanks!!!
Awesome compilation!
What a great complilation of the ficus progress over time. Really great. Congratulations.
Maybe, compiling in the same way the Avatar Grove, the Larch forest... the small leaf linden.... should be awesome...
Thanks, more coming!!!
Your life is a grand old bonsai!! The trees are only your creation of your existence!
You are the observer and creator!!
Love your videos, my friend!
Odkąd zacząłem wplatać kalendarz drzew w moje życie, lata zaczęły mijać bardzo szybko.
Tak, wiele osób uprawiających bonsai twierdzi, że czas płynie tak szybko!!!
Congratulations Nigel !
10 Years !
Time flies when you grow bonsai!
Ooooh, it's so cool we can actually see the progress of the same tree over that many years! It gives me some hope, since mine is on the thin stick level, two years old I guess xD
Sticks eventually turn into trees!!!
Congratulations nigel😄🍃
Thank you! 😃
I am 10 minutes into watching this and I have to tell you this is an absolute treat. This is freaking amazing. I love this. Thank you.
such a beautiful tree, and a wonderful video. i would love to see one like this on the serissa tree. i know its not as old, but it would still be amazing to watch. you have so many trees that would be amazing to watch....lol
Let's hope we all will make it to 25 years 😁
Simply MAGNIFICENT❤
Thanks!!
Thank you Nigel. The progression of this tree really puts into perspective how to follow through with a design idea you invisage when first starting out a tree. Very beautiful.
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing this. I’m a newbie and have some 3 year old acacia seedlings (based in South Africa) and I’m hoping to develop them into the future! Well done!
I watched that video where you cut the whole top of the tree. it's one of the first ones I saw form this channel.
Amazing!
Actually, one of the videos about this ficus I've watched during the "covid season" inspired me to try ficus as bonsai. So glad, that I found your channel ❤❤
Thank you.
It beautiful. You are a master of your craft)
I'm still learning!!!
Great compilation. Thank you for doing your own thing, Nigel!
Solid vid mate!
Appreciate it!
Keep up the good work Nigel 👍👍
Thanks!!!
This tree is beautiful
Thanks so much!!!
I was looking forward to this video ever since I saw the thumbnail. Now I finally caught up!
Your 1st Bonsai - the Ficus Microcarpa - surely came a long way. I feel like it picked up in vigor in recent years.
The roots etc. became thicker, too. Incredible how much it grows back in after defoliation.
Awesome tree. I'm looking forward to seeing what it'll turn in to!
The video also made me wonder when I found you and your Bonsai Zone. It surely was more than five years ago - and I'm so glad I found your channel!
Congratulations to 10 successful years on RUclips, and I'm looking forward to many more years in the Bonsai Zone 🌲
By the way, I think it might also be interesting to see how the Bonsai Zone area itself changed over the years, in case you have photos of it!
Thanks Lukas, yes everything has changed over the years, me, the yard and the trees!!
Nice Story Nigel, I have gstarted watching your channel from 2018 . Good to watch the life of Nigel’s first Ficus microcarpa.
Thanks so much, I always enjoy seeing you in the chat and the comments!!
@@TheBonsaiZone Merry Christmas Nigel, after all you are my guru and I have collected a large amount of bonsai trees.Lessons from you helped me a lot I am not killing anymore trees 😊 all credits goes to you.
I love watching your videos!!! Thank you for sharing you love of bonsai with all of us. 😊
