    Catching up on videos while cleaning my aquariums. Watching & listening. Super cool tree with some master pruning.

    Looks great and the carved roots look more and more natural. I can't avoid giggling for myself when you said something along the line that you worked on it for about 10 years.... 😄 Yeah that is perhaps seen as a looong time for those who just begun doing bonsai. The encouraging thing with bonsai for me is that you are never "finished" and it is a living thing which you care about and I can just loose myself gaze at them and study the structure etc.

    Oh my, I'd love to adopt 2 of the kittens! Too bad you're living at the other side of the world
    This ficus is probably my favourite "transforming" bonsai you have. After pruning you can really see how great the core structure is and it's such an improvement over whatever you can buy from the mall.

    Nice work on tree as usual. Still amazed at how fast your trees grow. We dont have raccoons here.they are so cute but will they be not doing damage knocking over your trees ect when they get bigger?

    Good morning, the pruning, 20 min in, has created more space and interest. There are more defined planes moving front to back for the eye to move through. Have you ever considered a different front? The left side had nice form and flow! Great progress!

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  Месяц назад

      It would be tough to change the front, I'd have to go with a different pot I think, but it's always a possibility!

    do you have some tips for getting specimens from nursery stock? Ive been looking at some nurseries but was wondering if I should be looking for something in particular. Ive been looking at Boxwoods and even a shrub called a Razzleberri Fringe flower that looks like it's cascading a bit. Anyways, love your videos!

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  Месяц назад +1

      It's always good to try interesting species, I generally bare root my nursery stock and put the tree in bonsai soil as the first step. I also try and do some root pruning, just to get the radial root base under way.

    salutations! Mes figuiers, les branches déjà formées sèchent toujours, qu'est-ce que ça peut être ?

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  Месяц назад +1

      Il s'agit peut-être d'un problème d'arrosage, peut-être que le sol s'assèche trop ? Un pot plus grand aiderait également les racines, elles deviennent peut-être trop chaudes dans un petit pot ? Je chercherais des insectes au sommet de l'arbre et sur les racines. Au milieu de l’été, il est tout à fait sécuritaire de dénuder l’arbre et de le rempoter. Recherchez également des bosses sur les racines, il pourrait s'agir de némotodes des racines ?

    I'm not sure those bulbous roots will ever look good I'm afraid. Maybe you could just airlayer directly above and generate a new root plane and an even more compact tree.

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  Месяц назад +1

      Time will tell, the tree seems to send out aerial roots every now and then, so the root base could change over the upcoming years!
