    I know this was approximately 8 years ago but did any of the cutting's take hold? They looked great but I know pines are/can be difficult to propagate...Thanks...

    @nathantyler5675 2 години тому

    As you were preparing to cut the large crossing branch in the front I was thinking, "Oh, no. Don't do it!" As is the normal it was great choice and the tree is already looking better...You are wiz at seeing what isn't there initially...Thanks for sharing Nigel...I really enjoy and learn so much from your videos that I can hopefully learn to apply to my...conifers...

    Nigel, when I watched you creating the dragon pot (a year ago). I was completely flabergasted. It's a masterpiece! You are a true artist. Your choice to not glaze the dragon and let patina be a part of the piece is yet another attestment to your artistry. I'm in awe. Well done!

    I've grown many Moreton Bay Fig as plants and as bonsai since the 1980s. The challenges are twig dieback and leaf size reduction. Otherwise, it's a truly glorious tree to grow! Thank you for including them in your presentations, Nigel 😊

    That tree is just magical. It's gone through a lot of change. It looks so um... How do I say.... Like a shrunken full size tree. Like if you took away all indications of size, people would not know it is small. Hopefully that makes sense. Well Done Nigel!

    Okay Nigel, DO GET UPSET! Try this on for size..."The Stick-In-The-Pot Zone"...I'm just sayin'...You seem to be trending towards this approach...Or maybe "The Chop Shop"...Just give you a ribbing...How about "Have Scissors will Prune"...I'm kidding, kidding around...Your techniques speak for themselves and your trees are amazing. If it were not for your example I would not have had the courage to remove the top 2/3's of a pair tree I purchased at the farmer's market this weekend (It was a single straight 4 foot stalk)...Thanks for you humor and sharing...
