Loved the intro Nigel! ❤️Tell Laura she’s doing a great job. 🔨Tell the chickens brok brok braaak. 🐔Big chops on the gardenia.. looks great. Another great day in the bonsai zone!🪴
visuals + choice of music is top notch!
That intro!! ❤
Its ok to grow patented plants from cuttings/air layerings etc as a hobbyist and pass them out. You're not doing it commercially or for profit under a business name, so its all cool.
Very true
A patented plant means that asexual reproduction of any kind is unlawful. This would include cuttings, air layering or even grafting.
@@danestacio2819 Nobody is gonna chase down a guy in his garden and prosecute him for propagating gardenia cuttings and sharing them with his mates.
The law is there to stop commercial growers from growing patented plants without licence and profiting.
The millions of home gardeners who dabble in propagating anything and everything, are defo not on the patent police's radar.
@@Boru06 I agree! Nobody will be chasing you down and prosecuting. :) just pointing out that patented plants are intellectual property, like books, music, video games, or even videos that appear here on youtube. Millions of people also copy those things too. My comment is only on the legality.
@@danestacio2819 Totally get ya bro.
Its the same as a teacher showing a movie or photocopying a page from a text book in school, technically it's illegal, but happens all the time.
Bonsai Runner 2021, the gardenia looks better now than before haha
Wow, talk about bare bones! I love how you have spent the summer enjoying the flowers and scent in the garden, and can now look to the future of the bonsai and remove all that had provided the short term pleasure.
Excellent pruning tutorial video. I am sure that the gardenia will turn out to be a magnificent tree for you.
That was a great video. I really enjoyed it. I could watch you find the tree within every day.
A dramatic transformation indeed, Nigel. A good start, looking forward to watching this one develop
That was quite the first pruning... Welcome to the Bonsai world little plant... O.O Haha! The new suncoop looks great! Your wife did good work!
Love a shocking prune.
What a beautiful sunset, Laura is getting on well with the house for the chickens and the Gardenia has a lot of growing to do now I’m sure it will be great!!
I really like your new green house. Thanks for the intro updates.
Wow! Can't wait to see how this little gardenia adjusts. Laura is making a nice area for the chickens.
My all-time favorite plant fragrance is Gardenia. Nice tree Nigel!
Hi Nigel! Thanks for sharing this nice video! I love the way you explain and show your work. Great way to learn. However, I'm not sure if this is a good time for such a drastic pruning. I would have waited until the beginning of spring, for three reasons. First, to reduce the stress on the plant. I guess you plan to work on the roots next spring. Roots pruning will force you to also prune branches and foliage to compensate. Thus, you'll be pruning the tree heavily twice in less than half year. Doing both the roots and the structural pruning at the same time would be less stressful for the plant. You'd also benefit from the change in soil and the start of the growing season, thus promoting a faster recovery. Second, you risk killing the latent buds with lower temperatures, since they are now 'naked' and unprotected from temperature drop. Gardenias are semi-tropical trees, meaning they don't hibernate and like mild winter temperatures, between 12-16 Celsius. A stressed plant would be even less hardy to lower temperatures. Indoor care during winter are not that easy with gardenias. Finally, you mentioned this is your first experience with gardenias (if I understood it correctly), so being a little conservative until you understand its behavior (specially indoors) is usually a good strategy. I think it could help to keep them in a warmer place during winter (always above 10 Celsius). Anyways, just thinking loudly about this. Hope your plant strives and eventually turns into a great bonsai, as many of your plants have done. Keep the great work and thanks!!!
Hi Nigel. Thank you very much for another detailed lesson of styling and directional pruning. I learnt something new each time I watch your videos. I like Gardenia.I am going to pick one practice pruning and styling I just learn and hope I won’t kill it.
Beautiful intro! So peaceful 🙂
It must be so satisfying every time you walk into that beautiful glass greenhouse! You did such thorough and careful work, and it absolutely paid off! It’s also such a nice tribute to the woman and her late husband who owned it originally. I hope that she enjoys seeing your videos and the greenhouse continuing on to be a loved place!!
Old saying: Red skies in the morning. Sailors take warning. Red skies at night. Sailors delight.
Interesting, I never knew they were that cold hardy.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, Maybe what it's crossed with? Or is it grafted to a more cold hardy root?... Now I gotta go read up on it, lol
It takes good imagination to visualise the bonsai within a bush. I like the decisions you made for branch selection. Looking forward for the root work video! :)
Wow 😮
what a great intro
Good looking tree. Can’t wait to see it’s progress!
Great intro!
extraordinary
Waw amazing broders
Trying to tell the tree that the way it grew was not something you'd see in nature is hilarious
Gardenia's Bloom on the new growth so if you cut it back and it produces new growth you will get a Bloom. It will root and grow roots from any cuttings you take as long as it's not too hard of wood.
Finally a new video was starting to wonder what happened
Nigel, might I recommend infusing your head with light blue and pink pigments to complete the cotton candy effect. Nice trees my friend
I wonder if, moments before this video, That tree was scared!
I think you showed us a good strategy that could be applied to many other projects. Also I would like to add that your videos are getting top notch not only content but from artistic view too. 😀
cool intro!!!!
Aussie Dave here Nigel, have you tried to glue gun to secure the plastic sheet to the plastic hoops 🤔. A glue gun is a electrical gun that melts the glue that should last for many months..👍
We just got our first yard and our goal is to make is very similar to yours, many bonsai, many trees, not so much grass haha. I'm actually going to be ground growing a big batch of trees a couple hours from you!
Nice Adam!
Can't wait for the repot, I've already killed 6 Gardenias on the first repot so I would love some advice on how to handle this species
Would have propagated it anyway, selling them would be illegal but if you reproduce them for private purposes or perhaps even give some cuttings away, I don’t think it would cause lots or troubles
No problems at all.
Free men don't ask permission.
I lost my gardenia 10 years ago to a very cold spell here in zone 7b Raleigh, NC. So then I tried growing from seed for tons of bonsai which I will sell. But managed to lose most of them too. Sigh. Only there is 1 that actually succeeded. The lawnmower man cut it down, but it's coming back with vibrant health. Will try for cuttings. But they are sensitive to cold temperatures.
You should try lantana ... maybe a scented geranium ... confederate jasmine
I think they "...just shoot out" from a certain periodical cycle dependent upon the angle of the sun! Maybe there's a periodic trigger...
Rain in Indiana, too. 49°, though.
*Fahr, of course.
Thank you so much for sharing your winter preparation. I am living in Zone 6, would like to have your advice, my newly updated "Green House" have no heating system yet. Please advise whether I can keep tropical prebonsai plants in this cold weather? Always learn from your program.
👍🍎
It’s okay to do this styling this late in the year, before winter?
Nigel sir please give tips or information on growing that money tree. Soil for it, fertilizer and watering requirements etc etc. ( I have one its alive but its foliage doesn't looks healthy or green like your tree, also its growth looks very slow )
Nigel, I'm in California, should I put my gardenia in the greenhouse? Can I prune mine at this time?
Hey man, I just started a few seedlings. What is some good advice for a beginner?
Do you have a video of the bonsai today?
Hi Nigel, please show the updates of this plant
This one didn't make it through the winter, I should have kept it warmer!
@@TheBonsaiZone 😭😭,,, so sorry.. Was really looking forward to see the development of this plant...
Hey Nigel, what happened to the Bonsai zone turntable???
It's in the plant room, I'll be using it all winter on the tropical trees!
I feel like you're treating this shaping job like a math problem: if X then Y. And you end up with a stick. My dog would totally fetch it.
Foist
My guy!!!
Noice work Geoff, and a comment by Dubsy too!
