Good morning Nigel! Just catching up on some of your videos missed, and really enjoyed - AND LEARNED!! - from this one. I have a small cedar I’ve been allowing to develop that I am ready to start on, so this was very timely for me. I love the roots over rock; which I think I will attempt to ‘artificially encourage’ with some other smaller specimens and a nice rock I have, as well. PS: thanks for sharing the updates on the Saab and your bicycles! Forgive my ‘familiarity’, however over the years of watching and listening to you in your videos, I feel like you are a friend of many years, who now lives too far away to see daily/weekly, yet I’m still able to keep in touch! Take care, God Bless and I hope you’re riding the bicycle for MANY YEARS to come!
I keep coming back to your older cedar videos for help with my 4 yamidori cedars I dug up on a Kentucky hillside. Only styled one so far. They are growing great.
This group over rock looks great. And the pruning did it very good service, suddenly everything is visible and defined and with the rock, the trees make perfect sense. Great to watch it. By the way, the background view through the window is great, I like the light it gives to the whole process.
Dont Saab Nigel. As life goes on change always happens. It is better to change with the times than not to change at all. Good things are coming your way. I have 4 large cedars to do this spring. Going to be alot of work.
It actually feels good to say goodbye to the Saab's, I hated them rusting away in the backyard. I've had a Porsche 911 for over 25 years, that I'm going to concentrate on restoring now.
I see why you bought that saddle ! Omgoodness that's craftsmanship. Of course , you do your son's Paper route 😂 That's very cool of you. Btw The root over rock👌
Yes, we are getting some nice weather too! Makes me want to go cycling, hiking, doing yard work, building greenhouses, bonsai work and the orchard work all in one day!
This is a nice grouping. When you turned it around the view along the white rock to the trees on that narrow top was stunning. See if that is a good option as a front? Ask for a more rocky lower surroundings maybe in a darker tone grey, so it resembles a rocky outcrop with those sturdy trees surviving on top.
I too liked that view, it took you on a journey down the rock to the grove of trees! I think it will be really fun creating a landscape composition for this little group!
Nigel Saunders, The Bonsai Zone You could even make it more thrilling by making the angle to the top more like 30’ so you really have to climb to the top 😊
What a stunning little scape! I love it, hope you'll keep it this small. And my prejudice for this size has absolutely no bearing on my opinion, nope it dos not.... much! Lol. Nice work Nigel
What night temps do you wait to root prune junipers? I may have messed up n did it a bit early. Its between 32-38 F now so I might just put it in the garage by a window. The thuja really is nice looking and different. Might be something I start in the near future. Thanks n take care bonsai buddies!
I wait until the tips of the branches turn green and are just about to push out new growth. This is usually mid to late June here. The roots should be just starting to get active at this time.
Thanks Karin, they were hoping the truck would be done by Friday, but it looks like Monday now. George says it looks great with the big tires on it! I can't wait to see it.
Hi Nigel, really like your job on this cedar. When you think about repotting, maybe you can plant in on a slap. This could be a great frame for this nature art. Best wishes from germany
Hello, I'm a novice and had a cedar but some of the needles turned brown and died. I removed the needles but now my tree looks bare. Will needles grow back or is there a way to ramificate to encourage new growth. It is still very much alive but had a serious setback. With thanks in advance.
I got the honey colour with the chrome rails, I though about going with black, but on this bike, I want the leather to discolour and look old in a few years to match the patina of the bike. I'm so excited about the saddle, it's like buying a Rolls Royce! I think my wife is interested in one also, maybe a future birthday present?
@@TheBonsaiZone So far so good, had a shelf in my greenhouse collapse. everything aside from a few production pots made I think. So fun watching everything I worked on come bursting out.
Hey Nigel ! Just a small doubt . What type of soil does a tulsi need to grow as a bonsai? Is it fine if I use normal garden mix ? I live in an area where all the different elements are not available in order to get the perfect bonsai soil. And also could you please start a tulsi bonsai? Thanks!
I'll try and get a Holy Basil started this year. My Rosemary that was doing really well all winter, until one really cold spell, died from cold. I'm going to grow it again this spring and gets some more herb bonsai on the go!
I started with Alfa Romeo GTV's and Berlina's, then I got a Porsche 911 Targa. then I moved to Saab's and the truck. Now I have the Matrix XRS and a little Nissan Micra. I used to do time trials at the race tracks and autocross all over the province, fun times!
It didn't make it through the winter. I think re potting it out of season didn't help. It just slowly withered away over the next summer. I was sad to lose it.
Nigel Saunders, The Bonsai Zone Do you know the southern limit of these trees? Would they grow in 9b? Thanks for another video! I guess we are lucky that bonsai is a mainly at home hobby. Hope you and your family stay safe!
It would improve the compostion if the sevondary tree, the one on the rigth when seen from the front was wired or trained a little more to the right so that it could be clearling seen from the front as a three tree composition.
No don’t get me wrong I watch all your videos myself and love your channel you have inspired me and I make TH-cam nature videos. Anyways I’m posting my first bonsai video tomorrow and I’m trying to get some subs. Hope I didn’t offend you!

I really like how you style your hair in each video to match the tree you're working on
I really like this planting. It has an irresistible charm.
Thank you, yes it's so small, but suggests so much!
Nature sure provided you with a wonderful natural specimen. Fantastic. Thanks
They were just tiny little seedling when I first got the rock wrapped in a wet paper towel!
I think this group has a lot of potential! Love the rock
Thank you Andrew, yes the rock is very unique!
I have three pacific red cedar babies and new to bonsai. This is very helpful
Hi Nigel, That is the cutest little grouping. You are lucky to have gotten it. Stay safe
I enjoyed hearing your thought process and rationale for each decision. Thank you for the informative video!

Your news is 1 million times better than that about the Corona virus. All of you strength and health.
Thanks, stay healthy and the best of luck!
@@TheBonsaiZone I do my best ;)
I keep coming back to your older cedar videos for help with my 4 yamidori cedars I dug up on a Kentucky hillside. Only styled one so far. They are growing great.
What a cool little bonsai. I especially like those roots in the front.
Wow, I really like this one. Definitely looks natrual, and a great piece of rock to grow on.
Thanks, I'll really have to keep it trimmed to keep the trees small!
Looking really good. Thanks for your video.

Thanks Radek, I'm hoping to get the greenhouse cleaned out and ready for the indoor trees to come out towards the end of May.
cute little cluster makes me want to start root over rock
Nigel, you have a Bonsai Zone spinner for your work. Fantastic!
Nice job on this grouping of Cedars. I like how it looks from all angles. I like the new "front" you mentioned at the final spin. Great work Nigel!
Dont Saab Nigel. As life goes on change always happens. It is better to change with the times than not to change at all. Good things are coming your way. I have 4 large cedars to do this spring. Going to be alot of work.

Exactly, thats a healthy and really good attitude.
On with that beautiful truck and a Porsche 911 to work on at a later date.
I see why you bought that saddle ! Omgoodness that's craftsmanship. Of course , you do your son's Paper route 😂 That's very cool of you. Btw The root over rock👌
Wonderful! That's a nice little planting! It so relaxing to watch you pruning... Feeding my new obsession.... Haha!
Thanks Marysol, it was a nice way to spend the day!
Looks really good 👍 As you say, it's so natural looking I can imagine myself walking up over the rock and through the base of the trees.
we have a nice sunny day in the netherlands ( 17.40 ) 20 c ... Spring is in the air !
Yes, we are getting some nice weather too! Makes me want to go cycling, hiking, doing yard work, building greenhouses, bonsai work and the orchard work all in one day!
Nigel busy busy haha ,i go on my e bike ,doing some work in de garden and enjoy the weather and bosai
goodluck ! i watch te video late a night ....
Cedar bonsai aren’t my favorite, but I love this one, Nigel!!! What a lucky man you are, as well as the trees, of course! =)
Nice! After pruning they look like miniatures trees! Good relation between tress and landscape as well!
Cool Saab! I’ve been restoring my ‘87 Volvo 240 🇸🇪 Love your videos.
I miss the Saab's!!!

Nicely done👍
this one is especially beautiful! I'll be looking forward to seeing how it develops over the coming years :-)
Instablaster...
thinking of starting my own cedar forest, are you not worried about dieback??
Nigel you like to cut things :D
Clip and grow!
👍 good job and great instructions
Glad you liked it!
Beautiful little group Nigel, really like this one. Thanks for the share and stay safe!! 💖😊👍💖
Thanks Karin, they were hoping the truck would be done by Friday, but it looks like Monday now. George says it looks great with the big tires on it! I can't wait to see it.
@@TheBonsaiZone fingers crossed, can't wait either 🤞🤞🤞

Wonderful! Got me so pumped on ceder's i'll go buy one tomorrow :)
They are usually inexpensive in most nurseries around here. They are usually sold as hedging material.
Really nice looking :)
Lovely 👌👌, how good it is looking after pruning n that rock is also very nicely covered by d roots👌👌
This group looks really NICE! It is a great addition to any collection. Ever thought of switching the back and front? Just food for thought.
wonderfull
Impressively convincing. The result of a combination of the seeds dropping naturally and your careful work. Nicely done.
I think Harold maybe saw some potential in the planting when he gave it to me!
Nigel Saunders, The Bonsai Zone very generous of Harold, it’s in good hands now 😊
Very nice, im waiting for the next episode "Crasulla ovata forest" and mayb also the portucalia afra or whatever its called. Good day all
It will be coming, I just have to wait for them to grow more!
PS
This Books saddle look amazing!
Trés belle compostion
Merci!
I reckon it would look really good in a shallow landscape pot:)
Yes, I'm dreaming about the landscapes now, I could make the rock on top of a bigger hill, so many possibilities!

Thanks!
Nigel, do you order the chrome/black version? I got the full chrome version, since 5 years, best ever. Looks like new today.
I got the honey colour with the chrome rails, I though about going with black, but on this bike, I want the leather to discolour and look old in a few years to match the patina of the bike. I'm so excited about the saddle, it's like buying a Rolls Royce! I think my wife is interested in one also, maybe a future birthday present?
Another inspiring and stimulating video. I have four trees growing not thanks to you. I might make a video on my plants some day.
That would be fantastic, I hope you do make some videos on your trees, I think you will find it fun!
So nice
Thanks Quinn, hope your having a good spring so far!
@@TheBonsaiZone So far so good, had a shelf in my greenhouse collapse. everything aside from a few production pots made I think. So fun watching everything I worked on come bursting out.
Lets grow!!!
Hey Nigel ! Just a small doubt . What type of soil does a tulsi need to grow as a bonsai? Is it fine if I use normal garden mix ? I live in an area where all the different elements are not available in order to get the perfect bonsai soil. And also could you please start a tulsi bonsai? Thanks!
you could sift out the fine particles from the soil. I did that and got decent results!
I'll try and get a Holy Basil started this year. My Rosemary that was doing really well all winter, until one really cold spell, died from cold. I'm going to grow it again this spring and gets some more herb bonsai on the go!
Nigel Saunders, so what type of soil should I grow it in?
I didn't know you were a car guy! What are some cool cars that you've had?
I started with Alfa Romeo GTV's and Berlina's, then I got a Porsche 911 Targa. then I moved to Saab's and the truck. Now I have the Matrix XRS and a little Nissan Micra.
I used to do time trials at the race tracks and autocross all over the province, fun times!
@@TheBonsaiZone Amazing! It would be fun to hear a bit more about that in a video!
Also BONSAI TURNIP GREENS! HA BUT GOOD TASTE
Whatever happened to the mountain style white cedar you styled in two sessions in Zone 6?
It didn't make it through the winter. I think re potting it out of season didn't help. It just slowly withered away over the next summer. I was sad to lose it.

@@taggertA I'm still in the lead for most foists I'd say. Just bragging of course.
Have a great day NIGAL AND FAMILY FRIENDS UKULELE HOLLY BLOE AND FAMILY
Damn!
Thanks Chris, Foist is so hard to get!
It would improve the compostion if the sevondary tree, the one on the rigth when seen from the front was wired or trained a little more to the right so that it could be clearling seen from the front as a three tree composition.
Yes, I think when I go to plant the rock into a new pot, I can rotate the front just slightly and all should look good. Thanks Paul!
Foist.
Thanks, but no Foist today!
