    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.

  • @jamesn7156
    @jamesn7156 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

  • @erikzellers2925

    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.

  • @growclipbonsaiforseniors1951

    The tree should fetch big money at auction. At least $500 minimum. Fingers crossed for a great auction.

    Maybe you could put some old moss under the elbow-part of the trunk to grow some roots there.

    @1Mutton1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

  • @patrauleastefan

    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!

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    Why are not using cut paste on the big cuts?

    • @dk2614
      @dk2614 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

      @thenaturecreater8906 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@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.

    • @BlueSkyBonsai
      @BlueSkyBonsai 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@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!
