Welcome to Blue Jay Bonsai.
We are a father and son team of Jay & James, newcomers to the world of bonsai.
(Note: James is off to University since Sept 2022 so I am mostly on my own)
Inspired by fellow club members @Nigel Saunders, The Bonsai Zone and @MaybeBonsai, we decided to start recording the progress of our trees, and the things we see, learn and do in the world of bonsai, just to share with family and friends.
But, you are more than welcome to follow along and learn from our mistakes, and enjoy the journey with us.
*** Remember - we are real amateur hobbyists - so keep that in mind when watching (and laughing?) ***

Aren’t you a GREAT SANTA!!!! Beautiful green pot and such a wonderful gift! Merry Christmas!!🎄🌟🎄
Great fun! Thanks for sharing and I am glad I found your channel 👍🏻
Hi Blue Jay. At 12:31 the tiny little pink and white accent plant. Do you know what kind of plant that was? Great looking trees. Thanks.
Incredible photos, Jay. Looks like it was an amazing show!
Four beautiful, amazing pots...I'm so envious...Can't wait to see you introduce them to a tree fitting of such quality...Thanks for sharing Jay...
My pleasure my friend!
'Mr. Boxwood', was so generous with his time at the show...Spent a lot of time with us showing us his entries and discussing their individual qualities...Everyone was great...What an amazing collection he has encompassing so many styles...Thanks for sharing Jay...
Oh he's an amazing and generous man. Mrs Boxwood is amazing too!
Such a nice idea for a gift, you're always so generous Jay...I really have to figure out how to start a pre Bonsai bed, makes such good sense...Thanks for sharing and the inspiration...
Love Kim's Nature...We bought a few pots and and a nice chat with Kim...Can't wait to get back there next year...Thanks for sharing...
Hope to see you next year as well! Love Kim and family!
Missing your videos so I revisited this one with an excellent tree/pot composition(Izabela sure knows her way around pots, so nice)...Thanks again for sharing...
Thanks Nate!
What is the best season to wire Junipers ?
You have captured the Master, Dr. Saunders.
Ha ha, I always try!
Great photography with cool trees and accents.
Many thanks!
Almost missed this video done by a super cool photographer, Jay, the man of the hour.
I'm glad you caught it! Thanks Tom!
Love seeing new videos!
Thanks James!
You developed that tree quicker than an elephant could have eaten it, very impressive work
Ha ha, nice one Victor!
Definitely time for Jay to appear in front of the camera with his bonsai tree's.....
Ah Dave, the hints never stop from you!
@BlueJayBonsai your fans and I miss you Jay....❤️❤️❤️
Awesome. Thank you 😊 Jay for sharing your amazing photos
My pleasure my friend!!
You do such great work with your camera my friend.
Thank you kindly Dave!
Awesome Jay loved it mate, must have been a great day 👊👊
It was an amazing 3 days!! Thanks m8
Jay, I very much enjoyed your Show and the Show it presented. Great to see you. (I also loved the preview. Thank you so much)
Glad you enjoyed it Patricia!
Your ability to see and capture the beautiful details is nothing short of amazing, Jay.
Thank you so much Billy! 😀
Great show, thanks for Sharing Jay.
My pleasure!!
The trees are amazing, but the videography and production is even better! Cheers Jay. Wonderful work.
Thanks Steve!
Superb presentation Jay !
Thanks Jon!
Thanks Jay, such beautiful photography, just excellent!!!
Thanks Nigel, you are too kind!
Amazing Jay!
Thanks Jason!!
Wow...Well done! It was if we were there...Oh yeah, we were! I now see why you have been so busy recreating the this special event...The the panning, the background music, the close-ups of the exhibits, nebari, pots and settings...Excellent job, you really out did yourself capturing the essence of the event...Thank you for creating a wonderful legacy video that allows everyone to experience the event and something I will return to many, many times remembering my new friends and all those wonderful trees...You rock!
Thanks Nate! Loved meeting you guys. Now you are TH-cam famous! 😆
15 seconds of fame is plenty... again, you are very generous and we loved meeting you also...Would you consider sending me your address so I ad you to our Christmas card list?
Nice video and impressive show! Now it’s time to get back in front of the camera, Jay!
Thanks Stefano! (and no comment 😁)
Foist 😊
Noice foist for the famous Matt Brennan!
thanks
You're welcome!
So, as you give this a gift to your friends, what are the simplest watering instructions and light instructions you would give them to ensure the largest chance for success
I no longer give away portulacaria afra. I really feel they need a grow light (here in Canada) for the winter months. Otherwise I would say sunny south facing window. Water when the leaves get wrinkly.
What do you use for soil besides kanuma? What are the ingredients the best?
40% perlite, %40 turface/calcined clay/safetsorb, 20% aged pine bark fines
I just love the way you explain the steps you are taking , just the right video to watch for someone who is in the process to engage in this great journey through the Bonsai world… THANK YOU! I am planning to watch more of your videos..I am a new subscriber…
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful show.
Yes it was! Thanks
Great to see you back up and at it, Jay! Thanks for giving us a peek at this show. Especially liked your taking a slower pace with multiple views of some of the trees. Reeeeaally appreciate the detail shots of the tachiagari, nebari,and rich surface treatments! The great care shown by exhibitors in finishing every last detail elevates the presentation to heights the trees deserve.(Don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!)
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the slower pace and the detailed shots. The artistry in these trees truly deserves to be highlighted!
Great tour, nice pictures, super high quality 👍
Thank you so much Gerardo! 👍
Impressive trees! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for visiting
Great video Jay!!!
Thanks Raymond!!
Awesome photos Jay, very Nice work !
Many thanks J! Hope we can all get together soon..
Great video Jay! Catching up on videos.
Thanks big brother!
