- After the root pruning, I plant the tree and work on the branches to create a spreading Ficus style canopy!

Wow, someone will get a great tree in December! You’ve done a great job, this tree has fantastic Ficus bones. I’d buy it that’s for sure
Wow Nigel...I get chills every time u bare root a tree and prune it hard in the roots...but definitely tat help improves the nebari...pls help how u take care after root pruning like how much humidity , light and watering to maintain it
I can see a human form on the trunk,a head followed by two arms for the 2 branches ,legs down the truck ,flowing garment surrounding the root/legs.its a beauty Nigel .tfs
Should fetch a handsome price. Great work and tutorial as usual. Thanks, keep growing
It looks great Nigel! And by December the canopy should fill in nicely. I'm sure it's going to be the subject of a bidding war.
Excellent work! Thank you for posting. Been a fan of yours for several years now.
Great job as always Nigel. The only downside is you just drove up the price for when I bid in December 🤪. 😀👍
I love your ficuses, I’m also working on my ficus, it’s nerve racking seeing all your green bushiness go away but maybe it’s what needs to happen to create your own art.
Oooooooo!! ✋Ooooo!!✋✋ Clip the 1 in the back!!! LoL Great Job Nigel
Excellent part 2. Great tutorial. Super!!!!
Thanks for the video! Beautiful tree, and I learned a lot from your process. I also love hearing your rooster sing in the background.. mine is always singing in my videos too 😅🐓
Did anyone notice that since this is the Club's tree, he is not using his personalised metal turning table for root work!
Awesome tree!!!
The tree should fetch big money at auction. At least $500 minimum. Fingers crossed for a great auction.
I reckon it will go for more than that, we'll see..
Looks awesome! I really hope you will keep that rock on the left as a part of the scenery.. it looks like it is supporting the tree from the back side.. and that smallest rock out the front is perfect too..
Exciting video ! The tree is looking really good, I can imagine what it would look like a few years from now. 👍
Yes, I hope to see the tree in the future, hopefully at a show some day!
I just did a pruning similar to this on my ficuses. Actually their second harder pruning this year because of vigorous summer growth after a June hard prune. The next few weeks are supposed to be much warmer than normal, so I’ll get some extra outdoor recovery time before the winter.
Looks amazing Nigel as always, I see a female figure in this Ficus, Mother Nature maybe
Me too!
@@craft-o-matic2377 I'm glad it's not just me or it might have sounded a bit weird! Thank you
Yes I see it too!!
Some lucky person is going to love that tree, Nigel!
Thanks Patricia, I hope I get to see it develop into the future!
Great video and tree, Nigel. Love your work. Any reason why you repotted before pruning, rather than the other way round?
Hi Nigel, I have some sprouted tree seeds in august and September (Delonix Regia, Robinia pseudoacacia, Metasequoia Glypto. and Caesalpinia pulcherrima). I don't have an unheated shed attached to the house to store them during the Quebec winter. Do you think they will survive outside or do I have to bring them in-house during the winter? If they will pass the winter inside the leaves will come out next spring? Thanks in advance for your answer!
They should be brought in for the winter, keep them cool but above freezing! The Black Locust and Dawn Redwood will survive if you put the tree in the ground for the winter and protect it from mice and rabbits.
@@TheBonsaiZone Thank you very much, Nigel!
Thank you brothers with the same passion, wish you a lot of health
How to you grow from cutting I’ve had trouble every time I get cuttings
Job well done ! You're root work is exemplary my friend. The best I've seen through the years .
I learn something new every time thanks Nigel
👍👍👍
It looks good leaning on that rock. Like the direction you’ve taken the tree.
Great future for this ficus!
🌴2 in one day Nigel 🌳
🌿Awesome, thank you🌵
I didn't really like the tree at first, but with that heavy pruning it should develop well. The branches need to thicken up a lot to become proportional to the thick trunk.
Wow! What a confidence u have!! Amazing. Learned a lot. Thanks. Say something about fertilizer. NPK balanced n seaweeds will do?
Kerja yang bagus terima kasih tutorialnya semoga terus berkembang
Errr.. fifth 😊
Love everything that you did to this tree. May it bring a good sum at the auction.
Awesome tree Nigel . Pity it's so far from Australia .
Great work, Nigel.
Maybe you could put some old moss under the elbow-part of the trunk to grow some roots there.

Yes, I think that's a good idea, it need some aerial roots on that side!
Wow! That truck is really unique!! I love that!
Hi. I watched your video a lot. You repot your tree every season. How can you keep your tree survived??
Nice Tree! any idea how to deal with crown gall in ficus?
I don't like the vertical branch in front of the tree you left on 😏
So, see you again in September 2041.
Lovely, I like it very much.
Such a great tree! I have one too, but it's just only 3 years. Will wait for another 10 years :)
Just put some tigerbark ficus cuttings in water about a week ago. They have white bumps now- should I put them in soil now?
That remark about the cutting 'till they get little white bumps" may have just explained why my desert willow cuttings never took - I left them in the water too long. Thanks. You've given me an idea to try.

Tree is slightly anthropomorphic and, perhaps, can have the name Daphne in honor of mythology
What a beautiful tree. How come you did not fasten it down with some wires?
Never mind. I rewatched the 1st part and noticed you talk about it. Thank you.
Es estupendo, me ha servido de mucho. Gracias desde Tenerife, Islas Canarias
Great taper, healthy tree.
Nigel will you be able to bid on the tree? Great video.
I guess technically I could , but ethically, I shouldn't! I hope whoever gets the tree will keep us updated on the progress!
👍🍎
Awesome 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Always love updates
Bom dia, Flor do dia!

Why are not using cut paste on the big cuts?
Ficus' typically heal over wounds much more quickly than temperate trees. Many people don't see a need for cutpaste since plants but more specifically trees do something called compartmentalize. That being how they isolate wounds in their vascular tissues and cambium so that the wound doesn't get worse and healing starts very quickly. A few tree species do benefit from it like maples but with most trees the only benefit is that it makes people feel better using it.
@@dk2614 thanks alot for a very good answer. I am using cut paste for every tree. Conifers, maples, tropicals. Can not see why it hurts.
@@thenaturecreater8906 the only real advantage of using a cut paste is that it can help visually to disguise the wound. But the best and cheapest sealant for a tree is its own sap!
