Nice euonymus! glad those worked out for you. I just collected a small one from Jim's NE MPLS garden this week. Weeds make such reliable starter bonsais. This fall, I also collected a whole grove of hackberry and an amur maple. That garden is now put to bed for the autumn, so I'll have time to wander around and identify other possible specimens, move boulders, move accents, attend to structure maintenance.

Just bought one of these I’m looking forward to it growing into something like yours, will you be sharing an update on this one soon

I really like the 1st larch...great instruction on pruning..😊👍

Great trees dave. Just a thought larch #1 that first right branch @ 12:05 is shooting up on an angle where the rest of the tree isnt is throwing me off. I think its swelling for inverse taper also. Maybe a hard cutback in spring to the first secondary branch that has movement. What do u think?

Well...How could you not plan a road trip out west? 🙈

That $25 tree is a beautiful looking specimen. Just wondering did you visit such discount store the week before if you know what I mean. 😄😄👍🦘🇦🇺

Super cool, Dave. Snow coming your way. 36F/2C here. Always a great video the way you can do a great teaching video. Get some tea after the video.

Hi Dave! Love your videos. I know you're in Minnesota, but what "actual" growing zone are you in? Asking because I'm in zone 3 (Winnipeg, MB) and I'm seeing lot's of similar trees in our hobby.

PTSD- Put the Scissor Down!

Great Bonsai work put in, good sir. Bare Naked Larches look really cool (could be a band name 🤔). I was diggin the top down view you were able to get in the PSGF! I’m curious about the pine in the cone. What project are you up your with that one?

Loved the Larches Dave. Good pruning selections. Your Logo planting is shaping up.

Some very nice larchs looking very nice my friend

Most lights have an always on mode, might want to look at that.

My larch are all yellow like yours too!

First😂

Nigel is such a great guy, love his videos. I'm stationed in Utah, our winters is mild compared to rest of the united states so I make by with cheap plastic greenhouse. I would have Chrysanthemums in bloom nearly all winter long. So I leave mine open during the day closed during nights, overcast, and bad weather. For my greenhouse, mainly it's for plants enduring their first few years outdoors. The roots will freeze but the trunk and thin branches won't have ice winds that kill them off.

Great video. It got a little dark there but we likely kept you too long chatting with the KW Bonsai Society. It was a blast to see you that day! Come back soon!!!

I've focused on tropicals and succulents because I don't have a good cold frame for storing trees...my glassed in sunroom gets much too warm and the garden shed seems to attract mice in the winter....

Don sure has some amazing trees. Great interview with him as well. Your road trip is an amazing gift to the TH-cam bonsai community. Such a great spotlight of amazing artists and venues at this moment in time. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

So happy to see you guys meet again! I watch both of your shows and have for several years. I’m not a bonsai guy but do the “shuffle” with cactus in a cold climate so it’s been very inspiring as I grow my hobby. Cheers!

All that was needed for this round table bonsai discussion was a nice fireplace, 2 rocking chairs and 2 cups of tea for bonsai masters. Great info!!!

Amazing! I’ve been patiently waiting for you to get to this video. So great seeing you guys together!

Catching up on videos with a cup of tea and watching 2 Bonsai Masters.

Very interesting visit to the Bonsai Zone! I only started a channel to connect with other bonsai people and hopefully get some feedback on my trees. I never get to have bonsai conversations. This was really cool to watch. Thanks for sharing.

Love it David thanks for the video keep up the good work my friend

Looks like you had plenty of mosquitos joining in by the scratching going on. 😂 Enjoy both of your channels.

That was awesome. To hear and see two of my absolute favorite Bonsai TH-camrs talking Bonsai made my morning. The US National Bonsai Show in Rochester is something I’ll be planing for.

Thanks for this vid....I'm just starting Bonsai...Right now I'm watching you,Nigel and Peter Chan.

Awesomeness ❤❤

What a really interesting interview. I would love to be able to interview both of you but alas I just can't swim that far :)

Yeesss the episode I've been waiting for. 😁😁

Hadir kawanku...

Great memories!!

Very cool Dave. Nigel sure is a great dude! An excellent teacher and inspiration with an amazing collection! 👍

Those ficus are cool.

Cool variegated Bougs. Dave you are on a roll.

Hard work calls for a cup of tea to relax with.

Hey Dave! what a flashback! 😁

If you plan on taking the insulation off in the spring, maybe a paint marker to mark all the panels for next winter install. Just a thought.

Winter prep for heat loss. At least you put in great thought on how to prevent heat loss in PSGF. This should keep the trees and nice and cozy.

Got it

I cannot believe it is that time already! We hit freezing this week so I am suddenly rushing about finding winter places for my trees :)

When you cover the big windows, do you open them back up on sunny days? Or just keep it dark in there untill spring? You’re the hardest working man in bonsai, brother.

I know I said this before but I'd say it again, your P.S.G.F. looks amazing.

Nice friends...

That's an amazing workspace Dave...Nice to see it is working out for you...I've created an indoor area in my garage that wouldn't get much below 60 deg F...We'll see how is works for my first over-winter of my tropicals...You are a true inspiration and I enjoy your videos very much...Thanks for sharing your experience...Sequim, WA...

If you are fond of BRTs, try tamarinds. Similar trees with thorns and hardy as hell. Do not have the zigzag branching of BRTs. Grows well in Florida but you will not have any problems with your greenhouse. Walk into any Indian/Asian store and buy raw tamarind fruit - either loose or packaged. The seeds need to be soaked in water for a day or two and if you sow them in late Spring, you should have 6 inch saplings by mid Summer. Good luck, Deep

Nice job David keep up the good work my friend

My Thanksgiving cactus is blooming now. Every September, I put it outside and leave it until the blooms start to set. I water it as usual. This never fails. I tried the 12 hours of darkness years ago but I got very little flowers.

also curious about your method of growing from cuttings.
