They grow very fast for you. They surely make fantastic bonsies. Interestingly you have Orchids of humid tropics and frankincense of deserts growing happily next to each other.
Lovely trees, I love the featherly leaves, either the green ones or the blue ones, I find them very elegant trees. Too bad I do not have the climat for them or the space 😁
Fernanda Nascimento It all depends on your zone, here in Florida zone 9b is their cut off for grounding them. But in pots some species do fine with outdoor for summer, and bring them in for winter months with high light and same as orchid temps.😀
Pat Sfreund I don't think they do much with flowers as in cut flower trade, I know in Oman they do set bee hives by the trees in bloom to make rather expensive honey. Most are too small. I plan to hand pollinate once mine bloom to produce seed to grow😀 Flowers are beautiful though.
MaryG Orchids I get frankincense out of them now actually, but I don't tap them for it. But in actuality it will be another 5 years or so, but I still won't tap them for resin. And yeah they love the heat here, far more than I do....lol😀
So cool!!! Who is Scott? This will be awesome. And then i will order Frankincense to sent me to burn it for my house :) Yeahhh!!!!! I wish it happens really fast for you.
My frankincense seedlings went to dormant after the 3rd node for 4 mths mayb because of the extreme hot weather here until 2 weeks ago i decided to give them some cal mag and they kinda took off and grew afew more nodes..
Salihin Hasan Oh good, I find cal mag is excellent for boswellia. Thats why I always give it to them after repotting especially seedlings, but at low levels because it can burn them.
Michael McCarthy Actually yes B nana makes excellent bonsai, as do other Boswellia species. I don't use wire wrapping however, just clip & grow technique. The one that the bark exfoliates on definitely clip and grow...I have a few myrrh trees also, kinda gotta grow them too, I only have 3 species kua, shimperi, and habessinica.😀
The seedlings are looking good at this point , looks like 4 months at this point ? compared to your last video with them.Boy those elongatas are expensive ! All great looking trees.
Andrei S. Sorry to hear that! For water they need to nearly dry out and only water when the pot is light when you lift it up. For sunlight they need bright light but not full sun, young seedlings can't take those light levels and will burn. But they like hot temps thats one thing they can take but not full sun...good luck and keep trying.😀👍
Andrei S. I recomend this book, its helped me out quite a bit. m.ebay.com/itm/Boswellia-The-Genus-Boswellia-Preservation-Through-Horticulture-Soft-cover/262967653095?hash=item3d3a17f2e7:g:Uu8AAOSw42JZC9Ok

A correction, this will be actually our 4th season growing Boswellia species. So some of my plants are actually 4 years old.
I always love and enjoy your Boswellia videos!
SueLee Charron Cool, you will be the first to get a 1 gallon seedling👍
❤❤️they are doing great
Things look really good. Growing very well.
Robert Forrest Thanks!!! I hooe your doing good buddy, I know you were having some health issues😀
Todd's Tropicals much better but now dealing with smoke and fires out here Again. Thanks. Take Care.
They grow very fast for you.

Socotra still in the top five of my to visit list ;-)
Ynse Schaap Me too and Fynbos in Africa.
List could go on and on ;-)
Loved your opening on this video! The Nanas are very pretty trees. Do they do anything with the flowers?
Pat Sfreund I don't think they do much with flowers as in cut flower trade, I know in Oman they do set bee hives by the trees in bloom to make rather expensive honey. Most are too small. I plan to hand pollinate once mine bloom to produce seed to grow😀

Those trees must love the hot weather in Florida! You've grown them so well! When do you think they are ready to get the Frankensence?
MaryG Orchids I get frankincense out of them now actually, but I don't tap them for it. But in actuality it will be another 5 years or so, but I still won't tap them for resin. And yeah they love the heat here, far more than I do....lol😀
Wow this music is fantastic. Will you in the future plant any of the trees in the earth or you gonna leave them in pots for ever?
Olga's dreamland Scott and I are looking for property to start our forest 😀
So cool!!! Who is Scott? This will be awesome. And then i will order Frankincense to sent me to burn it for my house :) Yeahhh!!!!! I wish it happens really fast for you.

Would a twist in the trunk force that blue form to branch out just like you do with roses ;-)
Ynse Schaap I don't know if that'd work or not, everyone I know that grows says top them or prune them back and they'll branch..weird tree
;-)
Boswellia socotrana is very nice! Boswellia nana the leafs are really colourful 🍃 The seedling are doing good, are you fertilizing the seedling? 🌱
Treasures of Plantz Yeah I feed them low levels of 20 20 20 & bat poop.
Todd's Tropicals Fertilizer really helps gives them a good kick start in life, they are growing really fast!
I have to get a couple of these.
kovenant -7 Go for it, they're fun to grow!
The Boswellia nana foliage is nice, I bet they would be a good bonsai tree. So, if you have frankincense, where is the myrrh?
Michael McCarthy Actually yes B nana makes excellent bonsai, as do other Boswellia species. I don't use wire wrapping however, just clip & grow technique.

Most frankincense trees are expensive, sometimes you can find good deals on them here and there. My ameero cost 400$
yeah, definatly not cheap!
Sad that all my almost 20 Boswellia sacra seedlings have died after 2 month, I dont khow how much water and direct sun they need after germination.

at what age can they start to be harvested?
I've heard ten years for a decent harvest but I don't grow them for that.
I’m from Philippines, where can i buy seeds or mini plant? Ty 💐
what soil conditions do they need?
Well draining cactus/succulent type mix that's very coarse (lots of stones/rock.
why are they so threatened in the wild?
Over harvesting or bad harvesting practices that lead to disease mostly.
Plant joke of the day; Frankincense was created because Frankenstien was stupid. Cool Vid bro!
Original Artworkks I guess? Depends if you mean the doctor or the monster? 😀👍
Mad Scientist:)
