Two days in a row of the exact lessons I needed. I’ve got a couple birch trees with just horrible chops and transition. I’ll be emulating you yet again, good sir. I sure do appreciate you, Nigel.
Some nice looking trunks on these trees in this forest setting. Nice thoughts of your pruning on the trees. Spring will bring out some nice growth on the trees.
Well arranged sticks! Chernobyl sound like a cool theme! Not full Zombie Apocalypse though... LOL Can't wait to see your creation! Then watch it evolve!
The colour in these trunks is very pretty, almost like in the description of lothlorien! If you wont be doing the chernobyl forest, you coud have a few elves in there 💚💚💚
You could get a little dog figurine if you're gonna go down the Chernobyl forest route. Just saw a documentary recently about the wild dogs of Chernobyl that are the descendants of all the pets that got left behind. Really sad, but still inspiring that life found a way, even after a nuclear reactor meltdown! The "exclusion zone" will remain basically a nature reserve for the next 20,000 years, which is a really cool thing to think about.
Elegant(ish) elms dealt with deftly! Not sure about the Chernobyl notion really but a small rusting Lada could work. They're Siberian so a small group of yaks would look fine, chewing their cud and sheltering...
seed some cuting my way i am not far away only in greece hahahaha. but for real i love your forests i am looking to make one off my own, i collected soooo many seeds this year to make one or two, i have 5 apple trees from last year but i love them to much to make them in to a forest haha.
I started using it last year and it seemed to help with branch dieback. It allows you to prune closer without leaving a stub. With the clear cement, I can see if the branch or trunk is rotting beneath the cut. Maybe it's a phase or maybe it will become a more permanent technique?!!
Hi Nigel....,a little cheap cut paste tip. I have always used brown plasticine and mixed it with Vaseline to the consistency I need, the Victorians used it as a cut paste. It will bleach in the sun and go a dark grey colour.
I don't know if it's an issue in Canada or not. On the east coast of the United States, many elm trees are being attacked and even killed by an invasive insect called the emerald elm borer. I don't know if this will work or not but I know it will not harm anything. If you know anyone who has honeybees. you could ask them to sell or give you something called propolis. this is like a glue that some bees use to control insect pests from their nests. It is certainly worth a try.
A tree in a pot is much more vulnerable, as it has fewer resources available and extremes are more problematic. A tree in the ground breaking dormancy before the worst of winter cold would be at significant risk as well.
@@rebeccahunter725 it's fairly common knowledge that a tree in a pot is more vulnerable. you didn't say anything here lol. fortunately, Nigel answers the question in his next vid
Remembering what happened when Russians invaded Chernobyl last year, you could locate a model of a Russian tank and have a scene depicting your Volkswagen truck towing away an abandoned tank.
Looks great nigel 👌
Nice! Good to show the value of pruning back hard!
I can't wait to see it many years from now!!
@@TheBonsaiZone me neither. Cant you show it now? (and other interesting questions one might get 😁)
harmonisasi yang sangat sempurna
I like the shape of the forest after the pruning, can't believe some of your trees started to leaf out!
I've kept the temperature much lower now, good for the trees, but cold for me working on them!!!

That music for the French lilac 😂
Thanks!!!

Can't wait Tom!
Lots of potential there. Nice job of pruning. 🙂
Nice pruning! Forest looks interesting!
The good thing about a mild winter is that your polyhouse has not had much of a snow load after the one that broke it in early winter.
It will be interesting to see if you can get that largest tree to fit into the design. Thanks, keep growing

Yes, no zombies allowed!!!

great looking forest .. even without branches it has some character. developing nice work!
The elm forest is looking good after its pruning.
👍👌

When would you repot a Siberian elm? My informal upright is due for a reporting but I’m not sure when?
have even more activities here in Germany in my cold greenhouse. The plums are pretty far already

Awesome!!!
It's really warm in Texas this winter. My pomegranate bonsai tree leaves have grown back already; and leaves are real small. Will this effect my tree?
If you get a sudden cold snap could be an issue otherwise probably fine
@@Stettafire I really appreciate that
Forest is looking great! You seem to have used more “cut paste” of late. Am I accurate? Why the change?

Can maple seeds be planted in India?
Take a look at a Himalayan maple, they're native to India :)

Nigel, what is the brand of the rubber cement you used as sealant? Yhamks in advance
Any brand will work, I am using Titan!!
Only that largest tree doesn't look good . Maybe use that one like a separate tree ( do airlayer and make sumo shohine ).
i have that and my trees are outside 😱
Hello, I was wondering what the temperature of your greenhouse is?
Nigel, sir, sorry to be so diret in my e-mail, somethimes I... Honestly I like to see your trees. With respect, Filipe Gomes
I'm working on getting to your email, your trees are awesome!!!! Thanks Filipe!!
What do you use to seal cuts?
Rubber cement
Conoces a alguien que haga un trabajo similar al tuyo en México?

I read that the siberian elm is resistant to the dutch elm disease
why is it so bad for trees to break dormancy early? i've seen it in nature and the trees were fine in the spring?
A tree in a pot is much more vulnerable, as it has fewer resources available and extremes are more problematic. A tree in the ground breaking dormancy before the worst of winter cold would be at significant risk as well.

Chernobyl eh? Seems crazy that that was coming up on 37 years ago already. Crazy that they've already had to re-seal the reactor too.
In a way it's understandable cus the first time around it was in a rush job. So the second time gave them the chance to do it properly
