Excellent Nigel and it's great to see that the little parcel reached you safe and sound. It'll be great having you as part of the NABC Halloween Challenge, let's see what you can come up with 👻👻
I have a good Hallowe'en tree that I've grown from seed. It's a weeping Mulberry and without the leaves, you can see that I grew it in the shape of a strange looking heart. I have some black modeling clay and plan to make two tiny ravens to perch in the tree together. Cheers, Nigel!
Whahaha, was laughing so hard about that listing of "Not Another Bonsai Channel", epic! Gavin is such a warm person... He has given me loads of pointers to set up my own channel, which might get it's first bonsai video very soon. Will be a (small, because balcony) bench tour. Nice video, as usual, tnx!
I love the gifts! I just planted my Honey Mesquite, 9 sprouted. Thank you for sharing as always. Great advice on the Black Locust, did not know it was soo thirsty! I will add it to my Fabaceae collection soon! Also I wanted to mention yes, the Tartare is sensitive to pressure changes so it will close its leaves so more water will reach the roots. It also closes it leaves at night, to conserve energy but also protect from leaf cutter ants.
I admire your patience with the lemon tree and it looks truly unique. Would guess many would have thrown this challenging tree already but not you. 🙂 I have great confidence we will see even better results in future.
Fantastic book. I recently bought one (English edition) from a Bonsai friend met on Facebook. One amazing thing about the Bonsai hobby is the community of lovely people who eagerly help each other whenever they can. 💚
Some nice old word looking spooky forests you showed. Great work pruning in the rain with great sound effects with the rain dancing on the glass of the greenhouse. Now that is class.
I've always thought your Nightshade looked like a hand reaching up from the ground. Perhaps that would make a good spooky tree! You could put it on a nice bed of moss with a tombstone next to it. Then just disrupt the area around the base a bit so it looks like it's breaking through the ground. Instant spooky tree diorama! Love the channel!
natrual elm are so beautiful. but its also a great species for any style of bonsai. i want a big one now after seeing those pics lol. thanks nigel. happy bonsai'ing!
That's what you get when you train your bonsai to be gracefully and elegant: no scary trees! But I imagine with some great set up lighting some of your trees definitely can look scary. Perhaps even some trees with spikes could be very scary!
Hey Nigel, trees are looking great. Think you madenthe right decision with the cascading lemon. Was thinking, maybe your apple tree would be good for the Halloween challenge - it's one of my favourite trees of yours 👍🏴
Native Texan and Texas A&I grad. Kingsville, Texas has lots of Mesquite trees. You might want to make a google maps visit to campus and then wander on S University from Santa Gertrudis to King. The older mesquite trees get torqued and pushed by hurricanes. This causes them to grow parallel to the ground and then up. It makes a nice bench but watch out for ants in your pants. 🐜
Hi, Nigel! One more good Videostory from you! Here in Ukraine black locust(Robinia) trees are often(by sites of city i live) being invaded by some little brilliant(shiny green) flyes. They are born from the seeds. The times i have tryed to grow from seeds(that kind of trees) i has fails. When place fathered seeds in a glass jar, tightly closed for some time - flyes come to be born. Cant tell time period. It was not traced carefully
Great Gifts! Quite the rain Eh! Have you looked at the Apple for Halloween? We went to 23C in the gravel pit today! I was able to wear a Tshirt! I need to get my water bins up and filled!
Nice pruning session! It's unfortunate, that you can't use the misting system that much. Maybe if your barrels are pretty full and you know it'll be raining more, you could use it a bit?
You could make a scary tree with a tree that is unusually heathy looking that looks like it was planted over a gravestone. And it if happens to have a scaring that looks like a face . . . or tuck a decaying corpse under some exposed roots. That wouldn't require actually altering any of your trees.
Sidenote: Those trees are very hard to get rid off once established: If in trouble (and sometimes just on occasion), they sprout numerous new trees from their roots, which can reach quite a distance. Be careful when planting one in your garden.
Hey Nigel, I'm a long-time fan of the TH-cam series. Thank you for inspiring my bonsai journey to grow into a bonsai business. May I please con5act you via email? I'd like to send you some gifts!

Nigel looking like a young Keanu Reeves these days 🖖 stay beautiful my friend.
Hey Nigel, hows your old apple tree doing? It could possible be a scary tree??
definitely the old apple tree!
Agreed. Nothing is as scary as the decay on that tree and perhaps finding maggots in your apple

Good old Gavin

Halloween will be fun this year

It keeps getting better each year, it's one of my favorites!!

I dug a black locust sapling out of my driveway and it's been in my bonsai collection for over 24 years now
Free water for you collection container. Cool!!!

19:43 a squirrel!))
Thank you, was wondering what that was
Hey Nigel I have the same book by Harry Tomlinson. It’s a great reference book. PS can’t wait for a ‘wiring’ video 😆
If u watch Nigel long enough you will know 'Wiring' is NOT Nigel's style of training a bonsai. He said it himself in one of his posts in the past.
@@ndungus it’s a joke 🙄

Great video, Nigel. Gift book from Gavin is really great, it was one of my first books it is really nicely done, a piece of history.
Nice program bonsai,thank you for sharing,im here to support good luck Mr
So nice of you!!
Man, a corkscrew hazelnut would be perfect for this bonsai challenge.
Nigel, really enjoy your sharing your thought process concerning the lemon tree...Another valuable teaching moment...Thanks...
Cheers.

Your old apple tree with the dead trunk looks pretty scary to me :)

Great vid Nigel TY
Nice pruning session!

I might have missed it, but do you have an update on the 60th birthday pine and its roots?
Your Apple Tree might look sleepy hollowish..
Was thinking the same thing.
You could make a scary tree with a tree that is unusually heathy looking that looks like it was planted over a gravestone. And it if happens to have a scaring that looks like a face . . . or tuck a decaying corpse under some exposed roots. That wouldn't require actually altering any of your trees.

The citrus msg be kool if get to bare some fruits can make Mimi jack-o’-lantern out them and paint blood on tips of thorns

I think your buck thorn would be a good Candidate for a scary looking tree it's black with kinda S sparse branch structure.
Spooky tree ideas;
defoliated Banyan fig
Antarctic Beech
thin weedy vines, mass planted and twisted together forming a thick gnarly trunk appearance
This dude’s hair just keeps getting crazier and crazier.
To bad you could not get the song from the movie with Gene Kelly, Singing in the Rain. That would have been cool.
or the ponytail tree dressed up as a spooky house
