It's funny, I was pruning back a tree on the property line by the road and found myself practicing bonsai thinking. There are always opportunities to practice.
Hi Nigel!! Aren’t there lights in some of the houses in your Chinese Penjing? Maybe when the days are shorter or some holiday when folks might be up late. ⛩️🎎⛩️ 🪭🏮🧧🏮
I thought that the overgrown weeds at the beginning made the village look like it was abandoned and it looks kind of cool, but surely weeding was needed and civilization is back. Beautiful little village 🙂
I've been battling mealy bugs. It's a tough battle, takes lots of perseverance. I use alcohol, a squirt of dish soap and some peppermint oil in water. Works well.
I’m in Texas, the politics here in the US are trash too. I guess the whole western world is going through it. Atleast we have the plants and bonsai lol
So envious of Your temperatures, here it was 40*c at 10 last night. This composition is so beautiful, now I know what to do with mulberry/ ficus 😊, wont be able to get structure like yours but terracotta lamps in interesting shapes are available during Diwali so …..
I have a sort of odd and novice question: I think this penjing looks really nice from a 3/4 perspective (with the front right corner of the pot slightly pushed out toward the viewer), but I don’t think shifting the planting within the dimensions of the pot would be possible or desirable. Would it be considered garish or outré to display a penjing like this at an angle (sort of in the style of an architectural point perspective drawing)?
Interesting!! It does look best looking in from the corner of the pot. Maybe you would need some more houses at 90 degrees to the other ones and then arrange the planting so you are looking in at the houses at the 45 degree angle, but the pot is still straight on? Something to think about!!!
I like the way this penjing is developing. The only thing that is detracting to me is the middle front tree. It’s trunk has no real taper from bottom to top, and that is a shame.
This penjing is very cool! I'm enjoying watching it evolve!
Nigel, This is such a beautiful planting. Always a pleasure to watch you work on it and to see its progress. Well done!
Very nice! As you fly into the scene it's like steping into an actual setting...Very nicely done...thanks for sharing this...
Chinese elms with their small leaves would be perfect for this planting

Dude I absolutely love your videos. Greetings from Macon, Georgia 😊
Hey, thanks!
I liked your decisions to keep cutting back. The planting is really coming along fantastically

Hi Nigel,
Cheers from France where the politics are making quite a mess...
Your videos allow me to chill. ❤❤❤
the politics are much worse in Canada

My humble thought is that this would be awesome, if the house roof tiles were red brick coloring...
I agree, as long as the tiles weren't too bright red or they might take attention away from the trees/landscape at first glance. Great idea 👍🏽

Is there a reason why you didn’t use a tree like the Chinese Elm in your penjing?
