the right tree in the thumbnail is stunning. I love the craggyness.
Thanks Kale - I love it too! I wish I could take credit but my friend Mario developed it. I'm just happy to be it's new caretaker!.
I am glad you showed what worked and what did not work on your trees to get rid of the pests. It is good to have something that works. Seems like the organics work the best for you since the chemical ones are too harsh.
🌟Thanks Tom! Yes, it’s a bit of an experiment sometimes.
Glad your larger Fukien is bouncing back it has such a nice shape.
🌟Thanks Raymond! I even noticed a little white flower on it today. 🙏😁
Great pics from viewers.
🌟Glad you like them Tom! It’s really fun to see everyone’s trees!
Nice to see them all back budding. Great idea to nip the unwanted ones now to keep energy in the right places!
Thanks Bald Yeti! A few little snips can really help. True. 👍
Fukien nice work! Lots of Fukien carnage on that dwarf. James is gonna be Fukien mad you dared touch his tree. Got despise those Fukien bugs. Thanks, keep Fukien growing.
🌟Thanks Matt! We’ll Fukien try! Fukien bugs indeed. 😡🪲
More planning before you start cutting, branches will regrow but the setback to the tree is years, good luck
🌟You are right Percy! Luckily I plan to keep this one small.. so not too bad. Still learning! 👍
Foist!
🌟I think this is the only way to beat Matt Brennan for Foist! 🤣 Gold medal goes to Nigel! 🥇
HOW DARE YOU Nigel
I've been on a hunt for a Fukien Tea since I saw you and Nigel get one. The list of trees that I want just keeps growing 😅
🌟Thanks Matthew! I know, my list is bigger than my space - so I’m trying to pace myself. That and the fact I just can’t find some of the trees here.. Good luck on your search. 🍀🤞
Nice collection...I love that defoliated tree of yours..lots of character...👍👍👍
🌟Thanks Alex! I think it’s probably my best tree in the collection. 👍
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🍃✨
Sometimes the necessities out way the standards of pruning practices. Great looking Fukien teas.
really like that little dwarf! nicely done.
🌟Thank you Christopher Wallace, Bonsai Method!
That clear shot at 7:26 where you can see the whole tree is absolutely stunning! Keep it up
🌟Thanks Thomas! Now I have to go fast forward then the video. 🤣
@@BlueJayBonsai haha
Nice sharing...Jay 😁👍👍
🌟Thank you my friend! 🙏
I’ve used that safer’s insecticidal soap since I started keeping plants. Its gotten me through many mealy bug and spider mute infestations! Its also helped with thrips too
🌟Awesome, thanks for confirming! 👍
I had a mealy bug problem a few years ago.. I had to redo everything as far as repotting and getting using soap water... i finally took care of it tho
waaaaw,😎😎😎😎
🌟Thank you my friend! 🙏
Nice episode. Beautiful movement on that large Fukien!
🌟Thanks! I’m just happy it survived it’s toxic chemical bath 😁
Very beautiful sharing friend.
🌟Thank you Neeta! 🙏
Thanks . (subbed) Just got a sick Fukien tea from a big box store at the end of the season. Getting cold here. Took it in and cleaned it up killed the spider mites on it and now I need to learn to take care of it.
🌟Thank you @zimmy1958!🐦💙 I hope your fukien is still doing well. Try not to prune the roots and the top and the same time .. just one or the other.
@@BlueJayBonsai yes it is doing better. It is shooting out new leaves like crazy. Thanks
Such a nice video!!! ♥️🌈You have a new subscriber here💐🌈♥️🌈♥️👑💋
🌟Thank you Amusement park!
YAY! A premiere! With notice too! *wink wink nudge nidge* Nigel. :P
I know its a little easier when you aren't pumping them out almost daily.
They really do attract the pests, don't they? You've got some nice ones with character!
🌟Thanks! Yup, the pests just love them… they are a bit of a Fukien challenge. 😁
Very nice sharing.. friend 👍⚘
🌟Thank you my friend! 🙏
Like...
🌟Thank you Farid!
The dwarf definitely looked better before you hacked it up. There’s no need to always be so aggressive with bonsai pruning. Sometimes that just messes up a good thing a waste so much of the time the tree spent growing.
🌟Thanks Nicky! I had reviewed the hacking plan with Nigel Saunders before hand and he approved.. so that’s good enough for me. 🤣😂 🐦💙
I agree lol I’m like it’s just a regular stick with a couple leaves now 😂
Truth! You completely hacked up the dwarf. Looks Pretty close to the large one that lost most of its foliage. Or that larger one you killed with the spray. Intentional? Smile. Seriously, you are way too pruning impulsive. But enjoyed the video.
Hope you get the rest of those buggers in control and away!
Nice looking fukienssss! The dwarf would look better on that other angle :) Fingers crossed the big one comes back with vigour!
🌟Thanks Aija! The big one is already coming budding almost all over. Still keeping my fingers crossed too! 🤞
Not enough Fukien Tea videos on utube. Its one of my favorites. Thank you
🌟Thanks Joe! I’ll keep making them as long as I have one alive 🤣
Good one 👍 👏 👌
🌟Thank you! 🙏
Maintenance bonsai...
Pruning
🌟Thank you my friend! 🙏
Thank you for the video! And handled the pronunciation of my name very well! 😀 👍
🌟Thank you Giedrius! You gave me good advice on that. Your cutting from Crete grew into a fantastic tree. Love it.😍
@@BlueJayBonsai Thanks 😉
I seem to be fighting a battle with mealy bugs on my trees. The first spray I did with neem oil was a bit strong, all my teas dropped their leaves. Now when I respray I just keep adding water to the mixture.
I seem to have the bugs under control and the leaves are slowly coming back.
Very nice good job
🌟Thank you Juni! 🙏
Nice video. Thanks from Ojai Ca
🌟Thank you Jason!
My gmelina is quickly becoming my favourite tree in my fledgling collection.
🌟Yes, they grow amazing.. so they are lots of fun! Plus you have the smaller leaves too! Future show winner in 5 years.
@@BlueJayBonsai maybe 15
AAHHHH SO excited!!! I never win things!!
🌟Quick, go buy a lottery ticket Mippy! 🤣
Fukiens is a mystery to me. I havent seen one long term healthy tree in Europe. But it seems that there are some of them in your side of the pond. Dont understand why. Nice pruning and nice vid.😀👍
🌟Thanks Magnus! I think Fukien is a mystery everywhere. Some say easy, some say hard. Most say they are finicky, and most say they attract pests like crazy… I am starting to agree with the last two.. 👍
Where did you get those fukien clippers?! They look nice! I just got my first bonsai a few weeks ago and am looking for recommendations
GAH! Can't believe I missed the premiere, after putting reminders in my calendar and everything!
(Like Tin Joe's Station) I lost track of time when I met a friend for mid-morning coffee and just got back!
Congrats to pot winners Mippy and Thomas; another great video 🤗
🌟We missed you Kate!
Nice to see your stuff Kate!
@@BostonBonsaiIdiot - Aw thanks! Not a patch on your Norway Maples, but once I've dug up a monstrous Forsythia and popped it in a training box this spring, could ask Jay nicely to share another pic; though I already know the advice you'd give on styling 🤭 🪓🪓🪓
Nice Fukien Tea 👍
🌟Thanks Gerardo! Are you in NY? My step-dad lives in Flushing NY.
@@BlueJayBonsai Yeap I live in Queens NY very close to Flushing actually. Funny I have a sister in law that Lives in Montreal
@@gerardoforesthillsbonsai Small trees… small world! 😀
I have been looking for a long-time for a pyrethrin aerosol spray. I was just able to make out the ingredient in Dr. Doom and verify it online. Did you know that pyrethrin is made from Chrysanthemum flowers? A certain species known as pyrethrum daisies. When I first googled Dr. Doom, I got the Marvel comics character. lol.
One reason your plant may have dropped its leaves may be frostbite. The temperature of the spray from an aerosol as it comes out of the aperture is well below 0C. When using a spray can, you need to hold the can at least a foot away from the plant. Spray cans used to have a warning about this on the back.
🌟Thanks Emmit! Marvel super villains wiping out pests! 🤣 The spray I used on the big Fukien was not aerosol. But that’s a good point to be aware of.👍 thanks!
I was finally able to come see what you're Fukien talking about! Those are nice trees! I want one just for the name. Look, look at my Fukien tree!!!🤣 Did you try rooting any of the branches you cut off?
🌟Thanks Marysol. I did try and they all died. I did them all in bonsai soil. I seem to have better luck with water these days, and will try that next time.
@@BlueJayBonsai Or maybe at a different time of year. My cuttings seem to be 50/50 no matter how I root them lately. Even my Geraniums! Stars are aligned wrong maybe...🤔🌱
Damn that title tho
🌟Glad you like it! 🤣 That’s actually tame compared to what I was going to use.. 😂
could a couple of those larger branches been stripped and turned into deadwood?
You sure give the fukien a thorough bath with that Doom stuff. :) You just spray it on and don't have to wash it off later?
Good to see that large one is bouncing back after the involuntary defoliation.
🌟Hi Stefan! Yes, the Doktor Doom can just spray on and leave. There is a similar brand that uses oil as the carrying medium.. you can’t leave that one on. Trust me, I learned the hard way. 🤣
I’m having so much trouble with my “f’n t tree”… it’s a little tree with a very odd shape. I hope this video may give some ideas.
🌟I hope it helped J G! But probably not 🤣 send some pics for subscriber pics and we’ll ask everyone for their thoughts..
How is your fukien doing at this time? My is losing leaves still and the leaves are drying up. Not sure if it is dying or just losing leaves due to indoor change.
🌟The little one seems fine since I soaped and sprayed. I mist it daily as well, and it’s under a grow light. The cheap $60 Feit from Home Depot.
noooo i missed the premiere....who won the pot? thnx for the advice on the fukien tea!!!!
🌟You’re welcome dark wolf. The 3 winners are listed in the description of the video.. Mippy, Thomas, and The nature creater.
@@BlueJayBonsai ah i see, stupid on my part hahaha. thnx again man, for everything!!!!
Lol
Very nice episode. The premier countdown was awesome! Did you make that? Sorry I missed the chat, was getting over priced gas in the car and lost track of time😂🤣. Love your Fukien. That big one is amazing!
🌟Thanks Joseph! RUclips has a few countdowns to choose from, or the default one Nigel uses.. All good, see ya next time!
Wait…wasn’t the drawing for the pot supposed to be this Saturday or did I miss it?
